So you don't know that there was hardly any book written by Ibos on Ibo history before the 1950s?....Books on Igbo history are scanty in comparison to those on the history of the other major tribes...You can hardly see a book written by a renowned scholar about the history of Onitsha or Ngwaland...Compare that to the North or the SW...Every village in the SW has a documented history which veracity is correct to about 200 years ago...I don't need to talk about books like the 'Kano Chronicles' which documented the history of some Northern towns and cities....Igbo history is mostly written by modern day Igbo scholars and those in the diaspora and their books are expensive and scarce.. 1 Like |

Pavore9: Alright. I actually googled to get you those. Now that you have your own, I'll hope you have won.... No bad blood. And I'm not ignorant, hence digging for those results in the first place trying to verify your claims 1 Like |

ekenetheorg: You used the word fallacy which meant l was lying when in reality these are names l come across almost on a daily basis. It is like Egerton University, a University here in Kenya whose Chairman of Council is Dr. Raerdon Olubayo and he is 100% Kenya of the Luhya tribe....No bad blood. |

[quote author=jojothaiv post=47356319] I don't concur with that statement sir... It's basically "different strokes for different folks"[/quote Whether you concur or not does not change the fact |

Igbo books are expensive and scarce as its not easy to compile facts about the origin, culture, and spread of the Igbo people. Even there is dearth of materials from slaves, traders and missionaries on the Igbo race. |

Pavore9: Fallacy.... Not a lie but an assumption from a little sample taken. It might not be enough to generalise.... When you hear fallacy, please don't assume you are being called a liar.... It's just a brain cracking stuff |
