HiddenShadow: Some of you just come online to spew foolishness. Tribalism is not a good life principle. All history acknowledges that the Fulani were stopped by the Tiv and to a lesser extent the jukun from invading all of southern Nigeria. You cannot rewrite the books to suit yourself. The British never at any time mounted a full scale military invasion of Igbo land. It was not necessary and Igboland would not have survived it. Not even Arochukwu qualifies. They always sent expeditionary forces to subdue troublesome elements and 'pacify' tribesmen, with a view to expanding trade afterwards. No group ever had the capacity to withstand the British for 22 years. The only true invasions against kingdoms I am aware of, were those of Borno and Benin. 2 Likes |

bibe: The Igbo were last to 'fall' for two simple reasons: 1. They inhabited the rainforest region where malaria was endemic and sea access did not exist. So a geographical barrier. 3. They were ruled by warrant chiefs appointed by the British 3. They were largely unimportant to British interests for centuries until the late 19th century. No seaport, no minerals, no trade routes. Oil palm could be obtained indirectly from other tribal middlemen. So why bother with invading ? Note too, that most pacification expeditions were carried out because of the terror wrought against the people by the religious and political rulers not for any intrinsic value of Igboland. These included slave raiding, killing of twins, cannibalism and human sacrifice. 1 Like |

FarahAideed: Gbam. This is one thing that HiddenShadow is unaware of. Igbos easily seem to betray each other due to clannishness at times, just as the Ikwerre, Etche and some Delta Igbos betrayed the Igbos during the Biafra war. Fulanis wouldn't have attacked the entire Igbo land at once, they would have stared from Nsukka & Enugu Ezike axis. ....... After conquering this place and islamizing them, they would now recruit these Islamized Igbos, thereby increasing their populations and launch attacks further south into Igbo land. Now, If Nsukka could be conquered and ruled by Igalas, I see no reason why the fulanis wouldn't. 1 Like |

HiddenShadow: Benins conquered and ruled Ika, Ndokwa & Ogba. Igalas conquered and ruled Nsukka and even some parts of Anambra west. The only Igbos who really conquered others were the Arochukwu people... Igbos had so much power during the Biafra war because they enjoyed great autonomy and rulership of the Eastern region. |

horsepower101: You and HiddenShadow should know that, Igbos would have resisted the British long enough because the Igbos never had a centralized system of govt like other tribes. For the other tribes like Benins, Yorubas, Hausa-fulanis, Tivs, Igalas etc who had a more centralized govt, once the British invaded and conquered the center. It was all over! But for the Igbos. The British had to conquer different Igbo subgroups seperately at different times, which will definitely take a longer period. |

IamaNigerianGuy: You are very very correct. There was never a full scale British military invasion of Igbo land like that of the Benin empire. Igbo land was simply made up of small scattered villages and hamlets in densely thick rainforests. And since every Igbo village was independent of each other. It took the British longer time to subdue all these villages. The British were not really serious with conquering Igbo land as it really had nothing of valuable interest, so it was done gradually.... Unlike Benin kingdom where the British wanted to loot away all the precious artifacts. |

Xisnin: You actually contradicted yourself, I said no major wars (because there'll always always be human conflicts) which you concurred by saying on a smaller scale. But you were wrong about wars of supremacy. Having a major overlord is not really a requirement for internal peace but democracy, equity and Justice which was Hallmark of the igbo civilisation. Having a powerful overlord didn't stop the jihad in the hausa states nor the 100 year inter-tribal yoruba wars. 3 Likes |

IamaNigerianGuy: Your assertion is flawed as you assume that the igbo kingdom was found only in the Hinterland. However though majority of it was in the Hinterland, it extended to the shores of present Nigeria in present Rivers State (A quick Google of Igbo kingdom pre colonial Nigeria will allay your disagreement). Yes of course the geography was also at our advantage but considering that the hausa states fell before igbo land, it nullifies your claim. Secondly your assumption that it's was not of importance to the British is downright laughable as it shows you have little knowledge of British trade in the region before outright colonisation. The most important commodity of trade to the British pre and during colonial times was the palm oil and it was initially sourced through the Hinterland (from present Anambra and abia states) and transported through the then oil Rivers (which was actually the deltas of the Niger river and the rightful interpretation of the phrase Niger Delta) which was controlled by King Jaja of Opobo an igbo and other Bonny clans and access to the Hinterland was what brought strife between him and the British who were tired of his Monopoly and wanted direct access to the Hinterland. The reason he also lost his life and the subsequent invasion of igboland. Thirdly, warrant chiefs were installed only after conquest of igbo land and not before. Again like I mentioned in my previous post, the main reason it took longer to conquer igbo land was due to the decentralized system of governance unlike the "yoruba and hausa states" kindly do your due research before providing 'alternate facts' as truthful analogy. 4 Likes |

ifyan:are u really this ignorant? where did the British use direct rule on others, as a matter of fact it was because of the success of indirect rule in other places that it was introduced in the east, and by the way most of those ur traditional rulers u reverse in the east were mere artificial creations by the British to facilitate indirect rule. |
