I know that there is a tiny Igbo population in Cameroun. Are they of Aro stock?. |
Re: Deleted by EzeUche(m): 2:53pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: Most likely. My grandfather use to tell me stories that there were Aro communities were present in Cameroon and also that Aro warriors would go to distant parts of Alaigbo in create their own communities. |

Uchenna: It is interesting to note that in 2002 at Abidjan, I met a lady from Equatorial Guinea whose name is Nwanyieze. At first I thought she was a Nigeria until she narrated her history to me. Though she does not speak Igbo but her parents though born in Equatorial Guinea do speak Igbo. According to her, her great grand parents were Igbo of Aro extraction. When I aked her if she would love to visit Arochukwu, she said yes but does not know where to go and how to go about it. I think the Aro people should seek for ways to unite with kins in Equatorial Guinea. |

I just don't get it, is the Aro Slave-trading Legacy something to be proud of? |
Re: Deleted by EzeUche(m): 3:25pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: I agree. Some people in other parts of Alaigbo have Aro ancestry, but they don't even know it. Arochukwu has really fallen from glory. |

ziddy:I am not an Aro man but let's give credit and honour to whom honour is due. It was Aro who fearlessly rtesisted British occupation of Eastern Nigeria. It was Aro sons who like Mbonu Ojike, Mbadiwe, Alvan Ikokwu etc who fought for the liberation of Nigeria from colonial masters. NDI ARO, UDO DIRI UNU. |

Andre Uweh, I just met a guy on facebook who has both my uncle's 1st and last name. I was shocked. He is from Equitorial Guinea too. Arochukwu ppl really travelled far. |
Re: Deleted by AndreUweh(m): 4:41pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
udezue:That is interesting. But is there any arrangement to unite this Aros with motherland Aro?. |

@Poster It is baffling to hear 'nwafor-Igbo' coming to a public forum to claim his subgroup's superiority over others. By the way, there was never a time "when much of the East was under the control of the Aro Igbo". Even the "history lesson" you extracted from New World Encyclopedia never suggested so. The Aros never governed, displaced or conquered any subgroup in Igboland except the Ibibios that occupied present day Arochukwu. They achieved such feat through the assistance of some of their Igbo neighbours. As a true Igbo son, I have appreciable knowledge of many Igbo subgroups including the Aros. As much as I love the Aro people, many tales about them are nothing to brag about. Let's desist from this 'my-people-are-better-than-yours' attitude; it is not helping our image please. Igbo kwenu! |

for a split seconds i thought u were on about ARO. in abeokuta. anyone who enters a shrine and begs the deity of the shrine for help instantly becomes an osu (sometimes called a "juju slave", a slave of the shrine and a social outcast. |

EzeUche: Whether first or last your people were still conquered so what is your point? I don't know where you get Aro were conquerers and all that crap because from what I gathered you and your people are like Fulanis roaming from one place to another but unlike the Fulanis just adapted with your hosts without having to go to war. I guess while the fulanis were roaming with their cattles, your people were roaming with their goats and chickens. Maybe you are mixing up slave raids on powerless children and women who were working on their farms as conquering a whole tribe. |

The slave trade is a very dark blot on African history. This topic is to be condemned. |

EzeUche: The Ashanti's have made atonement and surely aren't beating their chests foolishly as the greatest slave traders; The Fihankra movement, initiated in 1994, has http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/3/7/2/9/8/p372989_index.html The fihankra website is down, otherwise, I would have posted the link here. We need to compensate those we sold, rather than boast stupidly about it. |

ziddy: Beaf: There I was wondering whether I missed something. EzeUche is trawling the net looking for stories to magnify his ego. Is slave trade something to be proud? Should an Igbo man be proud of selling other Igbo brothers into slavery. EzeUche Do you know the meaning of kingdom? There was no Aro kingdom; there were slave raiders from Aro. No matter how much you try to re-write history, you can't. The Aro did not subjugate any other Igbo sub-groups. Whilst the main kingdoms in Africa all sold captured enemies as slaves, most are not proud of it. |

EzeUche: . . .Next thing you would claim Germany should be proud of her Nazi past. Slavery is a shame to each and every one of us, no justifications. Period. If you are looking for good stories about your people, rather than hyping slave raiding; how about expanding on infinitely more sensible and inspiring words like these?

Re: Deleted by Nobody: 11:27pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
This is an ugly part of black history that we should hope never wish existed. Why some people are here rehearsing it is beyond reason. |
Re: Deleted by AndreUweh(m): 11:40pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
The Aro were never slave hunters. They never captured slaves. Indeed as business men, they sold slaves and other articles to the British and other whites on the coast of Biafra. We must aknowledge the role of Nationalist of Aro origin who fought for the liberation of Nigeria from 1902-1960. |
Re: Deleted by Katsumoto: 12:10am On Jul 29, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: It is obvious you are not as familiar with that history as you think you are. When did Aro sons turn to arabs that they were sellers of slaves? When did the British buy slaves from Aro sons? Also stop trying to rationalise slave trading by telling us that other Aro sons were nationalists who fought for independence. They are mutually exclusive ideas. Its like arguing that a man who commits murder should be freed because his father is a judge. |
