Thank you for your feedback. Your narrative is not factual. The Igbos were vulnerable to Bini, Ijaw and other ethnicities because they were not united under one king. And so these small but more united ethnicities were able to raid Igbo villages, and the next Igbo village would not help them. In fact, it is even likely that the nearby Igbo village would be at war with the village next door being attacked. The pre-colonial Igbos lived in autonomous villages. They had no central kings until the British imposed warrant chiefs on them. This made it easy to divide and conquer them village by village.

It is even silly to say the Ijaws did not have the capacity to wage war against Igbo villages. The Itsekiris, Ijaws and Binis waged war against the British.

Nana Olomu, for instance, fought a war with the British. He had warriors in boats that killed White Europeans with guns. If he could do that, then why would he not be able to raid an Igbo village?

The Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws had central authority. The entire ethnic group could gather at a single location on the summons of just one man. We would all kneel for one man. And we would all go to war at the word of one man.

Why do you think there are so many Igbo-speaking sub-ethnic groups around Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws? These ethnicities are the ones the British forced us to release when they banned the trade of enslaved people.

I don't want to mention names. But look at the immediate neighbours of the Bini, Itsekiri, and Ijaw. They speak Igbo but are not accepted as Igbos by the mainstream Igbos. Ask yourself why?

Some of the names of these sub-Igbo tribes are either Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw names. Even if you look at the titles that the traditional rulers of those sub Igbo ethnicities bear, they are similar to Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw titles.

Many of these people will tell you they are not Igbo, but their language is Igbo. Ask yourself how they got to where they are today.

Look, history is not always pleasant. We have surviving photos that we cannot even publish because if we post them, maybe it can lead to war in Nigeria. Please, let us just let sleeping dogs lie!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

After costing Jonathan and atiku victory at their presidential polls this man has now turned his arsenal on igbos

Odin13:
Tinibu actually told buhari to bring back history in one of his birthday speeches

Guess he will do the needful..

Nigerians youths needs it

Will I say .. like this aside USA .. they’re the most brain washed youths in the world

History needs to be back in school and research allowed

Imagine human being taking this gibberish book and line

..

Careless and madness

zangaozanga:
the igbos may soon send ipob esm to silence this man

Igbo nah one small ethnic group right from back in the days. They had no king or whatsoever, just like Reno said..

But I don’t think binis, ijaws couldn’t enslave Igbos cuz they were not united. I believe it cuz they saw them as people with no or less resources. During slave trade, slaves with no resources, slaves from stagnant enclave don’t usually worth much!

So, to me, it’s more of even if we enslave them, what’s there to make off them?..

This have been disputed over time , the igbo back then were divided into clans, they too fought wars and captured slaves including ijaw people. The igbo even operated osu caste system .

It's stupid and illogical to say ijaws enslaved igbos when they only defeated some villages and villagers

The British even found it hard to defeat igbo . I don't know the lies runo is spreading about defeating the whole igbo or colonizing them

Reno is right. I came across a very unpleasant Igbo history and it made me really feel sorry for them. The sad history however offered an insight into why the Igbos behave the way they do today.

The Ijaws,the Binis, the Itshekiris and even the Igalas actually raided those remote hinterland villages of the igbos for slaves,captured them and oftentimes sold them as commodities! It's a fact that's well documented.

If an Igbo dares me,I will drop one of those documents here now!
