When you wrestle the great Igbo nation with lies, what do you have to lose?
Nothing
You people don't exist, doesn't matter in the scheme of things and we will like to allow it remain like that.

Lelelalalele:
1. Igbo: Igbo, also called Ibo, people living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Igbo may be grouped into the following main cultural divisions: northern, southern, western, eastern or Cross River, and northeastern. Before European colonization, the Igbo were not united as a single people but lived in autonomous local communities. By the mid-20th century, however, a sense of ethnic identity was strongly developed, and the Igbo-dominated Eastern region of Nigeria tried to unilaterally secede from Nigeria in 1967 as the independent nation of Biafra. By the turn of the 21st century, the Igbo numbered some 20 million.

2. Igala: Igala, also spelled Igara, a largely Muslim people of Nigeria, living on the left bank of the Niger River below its junction with the Benue River. Their language belongs to the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family. Their ruler, the ata, traditionally also governed two other groups, the Bassa Nge and the Bass Nkome, who live between the Igala and the Benue River.

Traditional Igala society was politically organized as a kingdom. Kings were divine and were surrounded by numerous taboos; they held elaborate courts attended by a host of officials and servants, many of them slaves and eunuchs. All divine kingdoms in Africa had customs that acted as checks on the power of the king. This included a custom in which the queen mother could chastise the king; she was the only individual who was able to do so under the taboo system.

The Igala have been primarily an agricultural people, growing a wide range of crops typical of the area, including yams, taro, pumpkins, squash, corn (maize), manioc, and peanuts (groundnuts). Palm oil and kernels have become significant as cash crops.

3. Fulani: Fulani, also called Peul or Fulbe, a primarily Muslim people scattered throughout many parts of West Africa, from Lake Chad, in the east, to the Atlantic coast. They are concentrated principally in Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal, and Niger. The Fulani language, known as Fula, is classified within the Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family.

---

4. Kanuri: Kanuri, African people, the dominant element of the population of Bornu state in northeastern Nigeria and also found in large numbers in southeastern Niger. The Kanuri language is classified as belonging to the Saharan branch of the Nilo-Saharan family.

---

5. Bini: Edo, also called Bini, people of southern Nigeria who speak a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Edo numbered about 3.8 million at the turn of the 21st century. Their territory is west of the Niger River and extends from hilly country in the north to swamps in the Niger Delta. Edo is also the vernacular name for Benin City, the centre of the Benin kingdom, which flourished from the 14th to the 17th century.

Odingo1:

You are deceiving yourself, Lagos was capital of Nigeria for more than 70 years, all those places you mentioned did not held as capital for more than 2 years. That is when the British was conquering territories before settling in Lagos. Read your history man.

Before Yorubas faced Lagos to develop it the way it is now,Yorubas have already developed Ibadan and it was the most developed part in Nigeria then.Till date even with its old part,Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland.

Haha. that's why this thread hasn't reached front page. tribal war will soon happen here say no to tribalism,But its good to see 1gbo topping.

The bravest tribe in Nigeria are the Yoruba people.
The most cowardly tribe in Nigeria are the Igbos followed by the shivering come-in-the night cowardly marauders caled
Talk is always cheap but to prove the cowardice of Yorubas is very hard because they are born considerate warriors.

Only not up to 200 Yoruba soldiers defeated battalons of loud mouthed,shivering cowardly biafran army at Ore.

Ibadans who are just a 'sub' of Yoruba defeated very large army of hausa and fulanis in the Jalumi war.

Egba,another Yoruba group defeated the mighty Fon who have never tasted defeat before in all their conquests in Africa.

Yoruba brave soldiers were the cynosures of every eyes in the Nigeria civil war because of their exploits.People like Benjamin Adekunle,Gbadamosi King,Alani Akinrinade etc.

The only cowards that run from any battle at all are the Igbos and their warlords.They have names examples are coward Ojukwu who dressed like a prostitute to flee to Ivory Coast.Another is Coward Nnamdi Kanu who is hiding in a stuffy room somewhere in the UK.

What pains most Igbos is that Banjo,a brave Yorubaman, was chosen by the Coward Ojukwu to lead Cowardly Biafrans in the only real war they have fought in their entirely cowardly lives.

Igbos were taken like goats as slaves by the small Ijaw groups.

Igbos were colonised by small Igala group.

What cowardice from a cowardly Igbo tribe.

I think the Yorubas should be mentioned.

They fought quite a number of wars from which they emerged victorious...

But how come they lost ilorin ?

. In general Igbo pple are brave just accept he fact.

BiafIntel:

Bravery and yoruba in the same sentence? You dey mad?

so the bravery should be replaced with gossip and backbiting

Our people sabi these kind things

Why dont you get to read the story?
Afonja sold out because Oba Aole,the Alaafin of Oyo wanted to kill him.Fulanis have always been two- faced people.They killed him and as he was the leader,they took over leadership and called themselves emir...lol.
Very shortly,the emir will run back to sokoto..

"Excuses is the language of the weak/Coward"
If you are brave you should be challenging the Fulani for Ilorin like Palestinians are doing to Israel or like Ndigbo are doing to Nigeria.
Ndigbo lost the Biafran war but are still challenging Nigeria and her western godfathers to recognise their sovereignity by force

You see how naughty you sound?
Ilorin truly is the capital of Kwara but we have lots of Obas in Kwara who control their constituencies traditionally just like the Emir controls Ilorin traditionally but the truth is that all the kings have no power except maybe settling skirmishes amongst people who like to take their problems to them.
The real power lies with the Governor and he is Yoruba.Yorubas control Kwara as a whole even as fulani cowards pray that the Yorubas dont rebel one day and kill the Emir....lol.
Religion was the main factor that enabled the Fulanis to rule for so long in Ilorin with the help of the Northern FG.
After the very first emir...Abdu Salaam....died,the second emir was killed by the Yorubas when they later found out that their religious leader had actually cunningly turned himself to emir....lol.
The third emir supported by the whites...they have always supported them over the Southerners....was chased to Sokoto.You can as well read the history of the Yorubas.
When Obasanjo came to power,the Yorubas were happy,thinking that he is a Yoruba man and will do justice.They promised and indeed wanted to install an Oba too in Ilorin but Obasanjo thwarted this and killed some of the OPC people that ventured to do this using the army.The OPC were not expecting this.
The rulership tussle was taken as far as the supreme court.Maybe the judgement will come out tomorrow ...lol

As much as the emir is a figure head, it is a slap on the Yorubas who own Ilorin.
Some Yorubas who have Fulani blood....they are in thousands now will partly support the status quo but be rest assured that the emirate in Ilorin is gone totally very soon.
The emir will run to Sokoto if he is lucky....lol

spearman:
Igbos have never won any war in their entire history. They were defeated and enslave by their delta neighbors and restricted upland and landlocked. Igbos never built any Empire, never built a single great city. Now tell me again how are Igbos number one? They beat chest sotey them go die of collective heart failure.

1.) Unlike yorubas, Igbos were not conquered by menstruating lady fighters from Dahomey.

2.) Most improtantly, Igbo do not have any symbol of slavery like the yorubas do with the fulani Emirate in illorin, yorubaland.

The list is factual.

sreamsense:
Who made that one number one that has never won any reasonable war except playing victim card? I know OP must be one of the chest beaters. He just did that to raise his ego, nothing more

Half of Abia State from ABA to Aro was war booty taken from the adjoining tribes ....

Half of Abia State was taken from war with other tribes from ABA to Aro ...then half of anioma was also taken


Enugu fought also Als retain soke places .....

Chai

See severed head,limbs and blood littered over this thread..As someone predicted this thread finally turned to a bloody battlefield

gregyboy:
Yorubas are registered cowards, from an edo man...

The igbos never had explicit historical past but they have now made modern day history of their braveness

Inside a country another country is know as biafra deserves an applaud


Yorubas have been historically cowards binis ransacked their lands for slaves, fulani sacked their empire and they only found bravery in waring themselves


Yorubas can never be a brave tribe, religion differences would always pull them back

Benin ransack were for slaves?

AdakaBoro8:
ofcourse we sold igbos as slaves to whitemen...
that list is the most weak and cowardice tribes in nigeria... igbo remain the most weak tribe..

Nupes sold Yoruba's and igalas as slaves
Igalas sold Yoruba's and Nupes as slaves

Hausa's sold Yoruba's and nupes as slaves
Yoruba's sold Hausa's and nupes as slaves

Binis sold ijaws and Igbo's as slaves
Igbo's sold ijaws and binis as slaves

Efiks and ibiibio sold Igbos as slaves
Igbos sold Efiks and ibibios as slaves

So every tribe sold one another as slaves.Every tribe was a victim of slavery depending on the tribe of slave traders they come across.

So this slavery of a tin those days was not all about wars sometimes it was about been at the wrong place at the wrong time.If u are unfortunate u fall into the hands of slave raiders whom where like kidnappers those days.

Slave raiders were good at raiding stray children playing,farmers in there farm, travelers and small unsuspecting communities.So slavery is not all about colonization or war.

gregyboy:



We binis outrun your ibo towns in the past and sold you off as slaves

If you want proves i will bring them but again you will still deniel it

Instead of you fighting the past you can't rewrite why not be proud of the present you guys are currently the face of bravery in Nigeria

Please bring proof

PoloG:
igbo people with their grand delusion andchestbeating just to feel good
It is on record that ijaws and ibibios raised and sold igbo slaves to the Europeans. .. can you tell me how you guys got to the port from which your were transported to the Americas.

What? This is simply false.

How could the ibibios have enslaved igbos if they where under aro republic before colonization?
The aros conquered the ibibios and used them as access to the sea in order for the aros to trade with the white man
The aros sold all tribes at the bight of biafra (ijaws, ibibios, ogonis, etc)

The reason ou are saying this is because your forefathers have deceived you. The aros captured igbo (criminals) as slaves in the hinterland and transported them to the ibibios so they could sell them to the white man.

Also please can you explain the large number of ethnic ibibios who where taken during the slave trade.

esnbrutality:
Stop salivating allover the thread with your poor reasoning faculties.

When corned you resort to "lamentations of stupidity"...

Dem dey clear you Doubt say ...WOMEN "IMAGINE" WOMEN KILLED YOUR USELESS WARRIORS ...AND YOU ARE HERE TALKING NONSENSE.

You call out a Igbo for his stupidity (which is his default mode), he starts screaming.

Well I wish you people good luck in your quest to reclaim your land and heritage.
Glad to hear that your people are doing something about it.
I detest oppression of indigenes in any form

BKayy:

In stories or should I say folktales.
What is happening in Nigeria currently will tell you those that are brave

Mention any war your Igbo tribe fight and win. Just one.

What is happening in nigeria like 35 and 50 people massacred in Ebonyi in separate attacks and in Enugu where Una declared fasting and prayers?

Tell me something.

bahdpersona:
OP just stated his opinion without backing it up.... could you please tell us what makes the listed tribes powerful or why did you said they're powerful and brave.... you need to back up your claims

I wonder o. I was even expecting him to name the wars those tribe fight and win but normal rant.

LordVoldermort:
Ilorin was the then capital of the Oyo Empire, technically if your enemies capture your capital where all your treasures are, Your Defeated

Yorubas didn't play any damned role in the victory of Nigeria during the biafra war, just stayed neutral like a typical Coward

Fulanis are a minority tribe in Nigeria for them to be so infamous is already a sign of greatness

See this aboki gworo teeth mumu.

If not for yorubas, you dare face Igbos.

Why did your coward people run in igangan when the youths mobilised. Coward race.

tandy2013:



But how come they lost ilorin ?

Does scoring 8/10 make one a failure?

BKayy:

Story story... Story
If you guys are brave, confront the Fulani that blocked your borders and are in charge of your ports like Ndigbo are doing

35 and 50 Igbos modered by fulanis in separate attacks this year without you people raise a simple hand to kill just single one of them.

And you are here without shame talking of race that killed five of their attackers even despite number of causalities less than both two attacks in ebonyi.

I am ashamed on your behalf.

You are just a chest beater with no substance. .. Gen Sanni Abacha.

That we are hearing biafra today was the fact that Ojukwu surrendered & ran away in blouse & mini skirt, if not..
