ChinenyeN:
PabloAfricanus, though I get your point with your last post, I must say, the actual content in your post interferes with that point. Yes, it can essentially be said that Igbo cannot engage in national politics effectively, but I'd hazard to say that it is not for the reasons you expounded upon here.

I don’t know what you got from his post but the guy displayed a very basic ignorance of our history. We had at least two historical hegemonies in Igboland. The Nri predated Benin by a long time. WTF does he think they used to keep their hegemony alive for such a long time? Magic?

Contrary to his claims, the Aros had no Benin influence and had a confederacy that covered a large part of the old Eastern region (well beyond Igboland). How the eff does he think they held that confederacy together? Is it not with a deft combination of diplomacy and military persuasion? As an Ngwa man, you should know the importance Aros attached to diplomacy. They considered diplomacy the greatest leadership trait.

Can you compare the Anglo-Aro war with the way the sacking of Benin?

the chinyere guy just dey embarrass us here. Wat does he think 'Aro confederacy' meant. He probably thought it meant aru conference where ppl come and fart

Fools just dey embarrass us here blissfuly. Re-writing our history in our own thread

pazienza:


You are not Igbo.

I have a policy of not replying non Igbos here , to avoid derailing this thread . I just noticed what you are up for is to derail this thread. You are henceforth, ignored. You wouldn't get any reply from me again.

I saw his mission and called his bluff. He is a non-Igbo and is mission here is DOA.

Thank you nwanne. Some people will just come and pour empty grammar in a sick effort to redraw igboland.

They think they know much history and so should be followed sheepishly.

They almost made us lose anioma people with their nonsense talk of those guys not being Igbo. I remember those times. Delta Igbo were against the larger Igbo because of these same "they-are-not-igbo" talk. Whose fault? The i-t-ks whose stupid pride won't allow them have foresight.



Now they are moving down south because they are bitter about a group's reluctance in identifying with them.

The Nri were not a hegemony in anyway, except the word hegemony has lost it's meaning.
What the Nri had was a caste of priests tasked with performing rites for client clans, and even then they were limited to Northern Igbo clans.
I dare you to tell me the oral history the Owerri or Ngwa peoples have of this "Nri hegemony".

The Aros were mixed with Ibibios and other Akwa cross peoples, even their Ubini Ukpabi was borrowed too. They relied on Abam, Ada and Ohafia mercenaries for their dirty work as the Aros never had armies.

There was no Igbo state or advanced political setup, just like most of the other smaller minorities excluding the Ijaws and a few others.

And no, your so called Anglo Aro was cannot be compared to the Binis, Ijebus, Sokoto caliphate who fielded calvaries and a standing ranking army against the British invaders. You need one to even begin to attach the word hegemony to any ethnic group, even Ife despite being off limits to invasion had generals and armies.

This is not a diss track though, just stating history as it was. Maybe you can learn from it.

PabloAfricanus:


Lol the point went direct over your head didn't it?
Ok, I agree. Fulani bad, Igbo good.
Fulani grab land, steal land, shed blood, kill people, very bad.
Igbo no grab land, no steal land, no shed blood, no kill people, very good.
Just like I told you earlier, you lack the historical background to think through this.

Consider these.

The Igbos had no kindgom, empire or organized political system. Just like you noted, they only had hamlets and clans.
That means the Igbos never played power politics, state politics nor court politics with ANY of the minorities in the south.
They simply do not have that kind of relationship with Igbos either as a clan or as a political unit. At best, what some minorities dealt with were prominent Igbo clans like Aros.

When the Nigerian state forced both Igbos and the minorities to modernize, thereby forming political entities from previously autonomous clans and hamlets, the Igbos still never had a historical relationship of diplomacy or political engagements with these minorities. To them, Igbos were the closest clans who spoke Igbo and that was that.

Your mistake is in comparing Igbos to Fulanis and drawing parallels from it. How naive. Fulanis are not in the same class as Igbos. Military wise, politics wise and cultural wise, Fulanis have evolved more advanced structures than Igbos. Take court politics for example, as an Igbo you'd be forgiven for not being able to relate to the idea of a Gwandu court sending ambassadors to a Bini court, Oyo court or Kanem court.
That is how states, kingdoms and empires evolved to engage each other. Diplomacy is a fundamental part of the engagement, or that failing military engagement.

Igbos on the other hand, have no political interface, platform, system or culture to effectively engage with Ijaws, Ikwerres, Efiks, Ibibios, Kalabaris, Ogojas, Uhrobos, Idomas, Binis and other ethnic groups.

The British had to install warrant chiefs for them.
The only Igbo speaking clans with organized leadership were Bini influenced ones like Aboh, Onitsha, Ikas and the Aros. The larger Igbo peoples were a stateless people. These are historical facts.

If Igbos have to engage successfully with other minorities or with other big players in the country, they need to be able to build political institutions that can interface with them.
Igbos cannot use the force of arms, as they never conquered anyone and none of their neighbors can relate to an Igbo army or invading force.
They cannot use threats of colonization as that is equally strange to their neighbors who find such talk very funny.
They also cannot appeal to historical sentiments like intermarriage, as group sentiments will override that just like the case of the Ijaws and Ikwerres.

Replace Igbos with Bini, Yoruba or Fulani and you see a different picture emerges.
The Oba of Bini can dispatch court officials to Ekiti, Itshekiri, Lagos, Ife, Oyo, Igalla, Nupe, Ijebu, Iselle Uku and effectively communicate what the Bini policy on any issue is.
The Ooni or Alaafin can send chiefs to Gwandu, Ilorin, Bini, Ashanti or Dahome courts and state in clear terms what the Yoruba policy on say the price of garri is.
If it has to come to a show of force when diplomatic overtures fail, an army can be raised to enforce compliance like in precolonial times.

Igbos do not have such political systems or structures, just individuals migrating and trading.
Igbos need to learn how effectively interact in a modern political setup. This gives other ethnic groups a handle to effectively engage with.

wheeew, another history lesson.
Hopefully you can make sense of it.
Thank me later.

Dude, am sorry to say this, you are ignorant and dubious.

REPUBLICANISM - The structure nations works with today has always been part of Igbo culture.

If it confuses you then seek for education.

Igbo politics was decentralized yet held together by a common cultural creed. Eze aro confederated with many clans thus giving rise to the ARO CONFEDERACY.

Aro confederacy controlled many territories within and beyond igboland. They also had a diplomatic cum judicial structure.

They used NSIBIDI as their writing system. They wrote with on trees, clothes, houses, open skin, etc.

Their trade just like the Fulani and Yoruba to the western world and middle east included SLAVERY. Palm oil was also a major cash crop in aro confederacy.

They had a structure which is today being lauded by anthropologists and researchers.

The British who practiced monarchy could easily relate to the Fulani and Yoruba mornachial structure, but not igboland. Why? Because they (British) were not Republicans. So stop regurgitating ignorance here.

Nri dealt more with socio-religious duties of alaigbo. Aro did that too, but concentrated more on expansionism through commerce.

Enough of your half-truths.

pazienza:


Why not. You lots out of your emotional attachments to Igbophobic entities, had degraded the Igbo tag. Any opportunist can always acquire an Igbo name and come and tell us they are Igbo, all in bid to shortchange, use and dump us.
You and your ilks are to blame for this.
Atiku must be fancying his chance of becoming an "election period" Igbo, remember they have told us here that we have Cultural Igbos and political Igbos. And then Cultural Igbos who are not political Igbos.
You lots have created opportunity where impostors can easily exploit us. I had already seen a picture where Atiku was addressed as Atiku Ekpereamaka Ikechukwu and other funny names. Soon Atiku would land to Igboland on Isiagu and one of those hungry warrant chiefs turned Eze/Igwe would give him one useless Igbo title. And then boom! Atiku becomes Igbo.

Ife Ndiozo melu Igbo ajoka, mana ife Igbo melu onwe ha,ka njo.

God knows I sounded this warnings earlier in 2014 and was attacked for saying the truth. Thank God that all the fools carrying PDP on their head will now understand the meaning of interest. My prayer for them is that Atiku doesn't disappoint them, else many won't get hold of themselves.
Atiku picking his VP from the SW is his own cup of tea. And all those saying we will rather be apathetic than vote Buhari are fools. Big idiots and should stop speaking studiply in our behalf. These folks do not see the bigger picture with scenarios like this. The picture is that we are slowly learning the meaning of putting Igbo interest first before party loyalty. The Igbo nation should use next year's election as an opportunity to reinvent itself. If Buhari comes giving us a sacrosanct offer then Atiku should shove his impending SW VP in his ass.
Ohaneze has said it openly that the Igbo nation shall weigh our option before voting for any candidate and that the SE is not locked for any party. Even from consultation with Buhari so far our Governors and leaders are beginning to weigh their options. The same PDP that many of us are good to praise has shown a high level of disdain times without number towards the Igbo nation. Imagine for 16 years of PDP stay in power the highest position we could attain was Senate President and we saw how we got ridiculed with it. Now after supporting the PDP in their 4 years in abyss the same ridicule is raring it's head again. And somebody will ask me why I'm always fond of slashing the party. I don't blame these people it's the likes of political jobbers likes of Ralph Uwechue, Iwuanyanwu, Peter Obi, Theodore Orji, Pius Anyim and others who sold us cheap in 2011-2015 and please don't ask me why. It time we get our priorities right and think Igbo first. Our interest should come first irrespective of greed by the likes of politicians amongst us. And if that interest means supporting Buhari with a better offer 2019 so be it, unless the PDP mends it ways.
Buhari was never a toxic Igbo hater until last 2015 election, truth be told. Maybe the afonja's intoxicated him with their hate on Ndigbo or maybe not, we'll never know. But the truth is that the Buhari that picked Igbo VP consecutively for two elections still have some level of harmony towards us, that we must activate.
Igbo interest must always comes first, nothing like over our deadbody shall we vote Buhari, words like this should never condoned politicaally in Igboland because it blurs our interest.

Such ignorance.
The Aros were traders and slavers, hardly a euphemism for anything hegemonic.
You're ignorant about the Nris, as your reply clearly shows.

The British installed warrant chiefs for Igbo's, as there was no known or visible leadership structure they could use to administer Igbo land. Is that not a fact?
Maybe you are not aware there were no kingdoms or monarchies in Igbo land?
The Aros operated mostly among the Southern Igbo clans and didn't have the spread or reach to be considered an expansionist force.

Nsibidi was not Igbo and was never used by the Igbo's as a system of writing, if you have any precolonial documents written in Nsibidi, I'd be glad to see them.

The British met existing bureaucracies, courts, armies and dynasties when they arrived in Oyo, Bini and Fulani territories. Just read up on indirect rule OK?

I understand your ethnic pride is at stake, but historical facts cannot be changed.
You need to go back and study your history, you came off sounding ignorant.

I grew up seeing my grandma with nsibidi tattoos and drawing



Nsibidi spread throughout the region over time and mixed with other cultures and art forms such as the Igbo uri or uli graphic design.[5] In 1909 J. K. Macgregor who collected nsibidi symbols claimed that nsibidi was traditionally said to have come from the Uguakima, Ebe or Uyanga tribes of the Igbo people, which legend says were taught the script by baboons,[3] although one writer believes Macgregor had been misled by his informants.[14]

I want to believe you are teachable despite your ignorance . Quit trying to save face.

Aro confederacy controlled the southern minorities and parts of Cameroon at the height of their power.

Nsibidi an ancient writing system, often believed to have started in ejagham by the ejagham people in cross river only because of the findings of many nsibidi scripts there, was also used by the Igbo, Ibibio and efik people. A simple Google will cure your obvious ignorance.

British knew about obi of Onitsha , eze-aro of arochukwu, Igbo and obong chiefdoms and so on, yet they IMPOSED WARRANT CHIEFS on Igbo because the Igbo political system confounded them. They didn't want that. They wanted a system they can easily relate to and manipulate.



I can clearly see that you know nothing about Igbo culture and philosophy. There is nothing more self-destructing as HALF-TRUTHS. Sit down and learn.
