Hausa and igbo who are the most traveling tribe?

Now igbos are traveling more than hausa, but hausa will rather travel to Arab countries

Investigative:
Hahahahhahaha Portuguese was the first European in Nigeria And Yoruba couldn’t provide a commodity they could buy Only later after 30 years + they manage to engage in slave trade Yoruba are not good business men hence have no reason to have a currency Also have none Yoruba are not known for metal casting how did they produce Metal money Ego igwe During this period Northerners are still dealing with Dan Fodio

Tao11 you are needed here, come teach this ipig some lesson

SlyDev:


Most of bronze found buried in igbo land are from Bini. See me see wahala, dey know your place

igbo make cloth? Yet they were naked in 19/20th century? How come. Igbo got limited cloth because they got them through exchange with other goods they have. You didn't sold shit to Portuguese rather the are the one that brought the cloth to you.

In early 19 centuries igbo have started going for competitions abroad
Benin don’t have technical know how in metal crafting hence can’t have any
Till today igbo still lead in metal craftsmanship
Gun etc
awka
Awkuzu
Lejja in Enugu
And so many igbo village still craft metal
In abiriba in the Olden when you come of age
There is a ceremony called iwa akwa
It meant for adult

Investigative:

Evidence are there
The first Nigeria flag by Britain
Star of David was inscribed on it
It was a symbol of authority in igbo religion and culture
Gad brought it
Till now it is still a symbol of authority in some part of igbo land

Delusion, you have been in your region for thousand of years. You are not gad or David, DNA doesn't agree with your claim

So what stop Enugu and anambra from speaking igala

Benin territory
Though there was nothing like benin in those days
Igodomigodo is an ancient name far more older than the name benin
And igodomigodo are igbo people
That migrated towards west on expansion
During the fracas in that kingdom they left in drove,
Some stop at the road known as
Igbo bi nu uzo (igbo uzo)
Now called ibuza
Some made ways towards the east
Stop At onitsha
Some went further into anambra
Ozu ubulu
Some went into river state
ikwere

Igbo started travel early 80s when they were introduced to drugs trafficking.

SlyDev:
When we are talking about civilizations and commerce. Hausa Yoruba and Bini no be Igbo mate at all! Hausa and yoruba for example control trade route from here to Timbuku to Tripoli. Oyo had relationship with Gobir, nupe, igala hausa kanuri and even fulani, Google this and find out. The highest igbo trader had travel was into their conqueror kingdom Igala and into Cameroon.

Don't start what you can't finish. It's rain(lugard) that brought bird and hen together, them no be mate.

You were many, same way fulani speak hausa today. Yes Bini territory through conquest.

What made you fled from igodomido is it not war of conquest by Oranmiyan and Bini? See ehn nothing una fit hide. Imagine the topic, igbo taught British money, who una be?

pacino26:


I agree with you, more reason history should be returned to the academic curriculum.

History can only make sense if it goes side by side with anthropology and archaeology. It has to be traced, tracked, observe and proven for it to make sense. Understanding the past helps to illuminate the present and the future.

This is good thread but please can you stop the Yoruba and Bini banters.
The title of this thread isn’t doing much justice to very educative content.

Okpogo or okpogho is a term I’ve heard and I’ve used in the past to refer to money. I thought it was just some ordinary slang. I didn’t know the meaning was deeper than that. People from Imo/Abia use it a lot even till date.

I just read that the name means money in Efik...

However in the 40s, the British had problem trying to phase it out. The campaign met with lots of difficulties as Igbos continued to use it. It wasn’t until 1949 that the effort to discontinue its use became successful.

Pls change the title. It’s ruining the thread.
