EMMY76:
Mumu poster go do ur research properly first of all igbos are republicans by nature with strong kingdoms scattered all over igbo heartlands before the coming of the white men.
The igbos have so many heroes of old who fought and resisted british colonial rule great heroes like king jaja of opobo, ekumaku warriors of anioma who fought against the british for over 20yrs, the arochukwus, mbaise, mbano people and so many others that gallantly fought against the british colonial conquest for decades.

Besides being a strong powerful nation is not about the nation that have the most powerful monarchy the greatest country today is the united states they don't have any known history of having powerful old kingdoms or monarchy but they are currently the most powerful and the most influential nation on earth nobody jokes with them not even britain and their powerless queen.

u.s.a are mixed bro not one tribe or two tribe but different people different race from europe.

.....Na madness dey worry you,... which part of ibibio are you from?.


If there's was no empire ,where did the dethrone oba of benin went to.......mind you we were all classified as calabar then.them Eyo honesty was an empire exchanging slave with them ibiono and uraun kingdom present day Akwa ibom....or don't you know till date that oku odu from uraun is to install the obong of calabar....abi u no no Chief Nyong Essien....


someone say that Arochukwu was formerly ibibio land ,that it's was warfare that got them the land ...I will not banter issue with the guy... but go and read history very well,the fall of Arochukwu was a clear case of revolt,greed and backstabbing....and not any where near bravery,.... that's why I will ask you to check the height of ngwa man,and check that of ibibio man...but ibibio don't cry over split man...


They talk of bravery ,even with your population,does ibibio man look like someone you can chew

Monogamy:


You people should stop the arrant nonsense of divide and conquer tricks...

The table has turned and you guys are changing rythm.

Had this thread be about Yoruba, you would have probably be dancing Azukulu dance on this thread

Go through all my posts
I don't care about the fight between tribes
As fighting only helps the enemy

The tables are turning because A Swift wind is blowing through NIGERIA

thebosstrevor1:
We all know about the Hausa empire, the fulani empire, the benin empire, the Old oyo empire and their heros, we all hear about the history of some of their heros, we hear man dan fudio, Afonja, queen aminat, Sango and how they went to battle against other empires and defeated them.

But something amazes me, i have never heard about any igbo empire, never heard about any igbo hero, never heard about any igbo wars. other empires organized wars against the colonists, they resisted and fought until they were subdued, never read any resistance of the colonists by the igbos.

The only war, we know the igbos fought was the civil war in which they were defeated by NIGERIA.

The only igbo hero i know was a fictional one in Chinue Achebe book, Okonkwo in things fall apart.

This is something to ponder about, please if you know any igbo empire or any igbo hero, mention them, i am curious.

How is that your problem in life

You just a stoopid person

what is good about empires if not land grabbings and taking others slaves?

The op just wanted to stir up unnecessary controversy.

present day arochukwu was formerly inhibited by who?...

Goan read ur history well oooo

....... present day Arochukwu was a slave camp ,.....and it's was revolt ,greed and betrayal.....

IDENNAA:


You are NOT from Anambra there you can't have the Eze Nri title. You are a ffucking impostor! Be proud of your home land , it's extremely offensive to parade your person with an Nri title.

You have no respect for the most prestigious traditional institution in Igbo land...ffuck off , you inferior!

What is dolt saying?

I chose the moniker because I have extreme respect for the history behind that throne.

The most prestigious traditional institution in Igboland is Eze Chukwuemeka Eri, the Akajiovu Ndi Igbo

thebosstrevor1:


The Ekumeku war was fought by the anioma people..who were the heros??

Presently igbo people do not accept anioma people as igbos.
.
Ekumeku war on the Western side of river niger lasted for 33 years, while the aro Confederacy on the Eastern side of river niger held the British for 34 years, it took years before the Benin empire and the minority clans could be defeated, now these are real empires, but only days and less than a month, the oyo and northern empires were captured, empires indeed, nursery empires.

sltn:
tar!! You don't know your history go dig more cause you no nothing my friend. Have' you not heard about how we yorubas create one of the strongest empire in west africa!

That was the Benin Empire.

Northern soldiers

Northern soldiers that capitulated within two weeks, that one na soldiers.

You are too unserious to be educated.
Igbo bụ igbo is something Igbo people say fora reason.

Talking from experience....


Amaka God bless you for the infatuation and lust that we shared for almost two years

it was a sweet swell time

Sweet sweet kpekus like bianca own chai ffk won many Igbo battle

thebosstrevor1:


The greeks were highly organized, they had an empire which conquered nations and created western civilization.

your submission does not make sense.

You are not like the greek...stop disrespecting the greeks.

you know nothing about the Igbo and I don't intend to educate you on the Igbo.
Ignorant is bliss

Those that claimed they invented democracy, you need to ask them where they copied and learnt democracy from.
You're child OP even at that you shouldn't be ignorant. I have just 2 questions for you.

1. Who are those black warriors that the British used to wage wars against Southern Kingdoms?

2. Why do the British prefer relationship with the Northern part of the country than Southern part and despises the Igbo tribe especially.

Willing to engage ?
@OP

The only thing you should know is that the igbos are the most civilised and democratic black group on the planet.

This is 2023 and you still worship your fellow men.

What is president? What is oba? You call men like you kings, elevate them to the status of Gods and allow them rule your destinies. You give your fellow men power to kill you.

Everyone is born equal. Everyone will die the same. Why give certain person power over his fellow man?

In ancient igboland, we had no kings. We had no special police. Everyone takes up the duty of the police. You commit a crime, the community collectively banish you because we had no prisons. Prisons are inhumane. They take away your God given freedom. Even animals hate prisons.

Unlike the fraudulent modern judiciary where you bribe the judge and buy justice, in ancient igboland, the people were collectively the judge. We gathered at the village square to collective judge cases. There is no judge to bribe because everyone had a strong sense of justice and equality.

In ancient igboland, No special military because every military would have to have a commander who will wield authority to control the military. In igboland everyone is the military since we collectively own the land.


Have you ever heard of the state without police, military, kings, authority yet they lived peacefully?

Go and study the ancient igbos to know true democracy. Not the fraudulent democracy the whiteman has forced on you. Ancient igbos were far ahead of their time.

I don't know when people started treating king's as their gods

Pls ignore him

EzeNri:

Yet, an Anioma led Oha N'Eze Ndi Igbo.

You abokis need help.

For your sifia pains, read about how powerful Aro Confedercy is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aro_Confederacy

It's a confederacy because we believe in Democracy, not bowing to stupid pot-bellied autocratic kings.

Sometimes you just try to avoid having this type of argument with people who are not from your region or loved in your region or birthed there... it's a lost cause trying to educate people that think they know whereas they don't know... so for them to understand and know they need to remove the ones they know and assimilate..

History... we live in a yoruba land, we heard so many histories, those in the east heard the eastern histories...

Igbos are not known to bow down to 1 man, igbos will come together collectively to guard their territory, na why ESN dey, if you see them guarding their villages against the soldiers and ebubeagu, and we igbos are not after praising the commander or making him a legend, reason why you barely hear about commanders or heroes, we work collectively with none taking credits for it.... credits are given to the groups.... none of igboland, I repeat NONE OF IGBOLAND WAS CAPTURED OR CEDED TO ANY TRIBES OR MARAUDERS.. WE CAPTURED LANDS NOT THROUGH PEACE BUT WAR,THAT'S WHY IGBOS GO AS FAR AS EDO.. SOME PART OF EDO SPEAKS IGBO(not too sure about this) but we conquered and no one took credits instead the groups or fighters get or got the credits...

I feel very bad for my Igbo brothers here. Chai. Some are talking about very recent events. Mentioning Ekwmeku revolt of 1884. Revolt o, nothing close to war. We are talking about wars fought in 1750s, we are talking of real warriors, and empires that spanned the length of West Africa. O my Igbo people.
