the ancient part with brown roofs is located in a small area not up to makoko.

The brown roof is a proof that truely the people of that geographic region have been civilized long ago.

When exactly was that?

You dey mind that foolish igbolani (igbo+fulani) combo of slave and his master. The whole 5 ibo states put together is not upto Oyo state in land mass, yet you see them celebrating some scanty "mansion " built buy ipob, cocaine selling ndi oshi.

To 95% of ibos, iboland is a just a giant cemetery, where they only go back in coffins or during burial ceremony.
