Women are treated exactly the same way in the Fulani enclave as they are in Eboe land Not seen Not heard Second class Marriage is essentially an ACQUISITION like a camel or goat |

The title of the thread is the way Igbos lived in the olden days, yet it is causing some people sleepless nights. If you don't like the thread just skip, if you think your tribe history isn't discussed go ahead and create one for your people not roaming around this thread dropping shît like infested flies that if squashed will come again with a different monicker but the same default shítty settings that is noticed from a mile away. 5 Likes 1 Share |

What s striking about your history is you cannot mention ONE NAME of an Eboe person of significance NOT A SINGLE NAME When pressed you will say olaudah Equiano A slave of arguable origin is that not embarrassing? Not a single person male or female of any significance who did anything of note INSIDE Eboeland Your history is one of enslavement by Ijaw Itsekiri, Efik etc keep quiet and stop making noise |

aribisala0: You are the one that is losing here. You can't bring my culture to the table for both of us to be analysing it while yours is hidden. You are ashamed of your own culture because of the injustice against her citizens and the misogyny associated with it. So if I am to prove to you how egalitarian our culture is, I must use another for reference. Probably a proven one that is strict on women and commoners. That's where the questions on Yoruba unjust culture comes in. Speaking of political equality in Igboland. If you had known what Umuada is, you won't be asking how egalitarian Igbo culture is. Of all the nations in Nigeria, its is few that their women participate in decision making of the community and Igbo is one of them. Yoruba is far from it. Umuada is the opposite of Umunna in literal translation. Umuada is strictly for women as Umunna is strictly for men to ensure equality. Both have specific roles they play in the society and one doesn't superimpose on the other. Can the same be said for Yorubas? 6 Likes 1 Share |

aribisala0:The only people with history of enslavement is Yoruba. Prior to the christening of "Hausa Banza" which was the term you people were referred to by the civilised Huasa people, the modern day Yorubas were categorised as uncivilised people down south of Hausa land who were raided by Nupe and Jukun for further enslavement in Kano. Kano was a city that at her zenith comprised of 60% slaves of which 40 out of the 60 is Yoruba. The history of Yoruba in Nigeria can be demarcated into four. 1. Their enslavement by Hausa. Hausa later sold them off to the Arab world via trans-Saharan slave trade. 2. Their enslavement by Nupe and Jukun. 3. Their civilisation by Fulani. 4. The trans-Altlantic slave hunt. Hunt because unlike others, that of Yoruba wasn't really a trade. The third was the last before the British took over. The remnants of their civilisation by the Fulani can be seen in their Aso oké, baban Riga and the official dressing of the Alaafin of Oyo which is a female Fulani dressing Don't confuse your history with Ndigbo. Ndigbo were never enslaved by any black. 3 Likes 1 Share |

aribisala0:I told you that unlike your uncultured women that breed in their fathers house, ancient Igbo women marry. They had established marriage system where the lady inherits what she would from her father at her marriage day. She then later inherits her mother after her death. Did you hear inherit her mother? Unlike your uncultured and none industrious women, Igbo women make enough money and acquire wealth that upon their death is inherited by her daughters and her last son. That is one of the rule of inheritance in ancient Igbo land. One criteria for marriage in Igboland is that the prospective husband MUST provide her spouse with a house and enough farmland which is registered to her name (this is the female land inheritance you are asking for) I can go on and on to explain the law of inheritance in Igboland but we will stop here as I have answered your question. By the way, as you read this, take out time to savour the difference between our ancient sophisticated culture with that of your primitive improvisation. 3 Likes

aribisala0:How many times will I tell you that our women marry. Stop looking at things from your peoples perceptive. The fact that your women stay at their fathers house and breed doesn't mean that there are no Africans with established marriage system before the whites introduced it to you people. Besides I've explained the established female inheritance of the ancient wise Igbo people. Read it again. 3 Likes |

aribisala0:That is called a "third party" They are the only third party that Ndigbo gave the honour of staying long among them. The rest black savages were either transported to be used as slaves in Igboland or we are out civilising people of which you Yoruba people are not left out. The great Awka blacksmiths brought civilisation to Yorubas by introducing metallurgy to Ondo plains. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: How Igbos Lived In The Olden Days by Bkayyy: 6:12pm On Jan 08, 2022 |
aribisala0: "Law of inheritance" I know this term would be hard for someone from a primitive ancestry. Let me answer your question because the concept of marriage is alien to ancient Yorubas that their women stay and breed in their fathers house. When a woman in Igboland as well as a lot of other civilised nations marry, they move to their husbands house. Though this is different for your own people that the women just start giving birth in their fathers house. There is a ceremony associated with it. It is called "Marriage ceremony". I believe you are conversant with this one because it is the ceremony that your men complain about because it is not in your culture. During that ceremony, the father hands over her inheritance to her which will include slaves, jewelleries that costs alot of slaves (one ivory anklets worn by ancient Igbo women cost three slaves) etc. These she moves to her husbands house with where her husband have already provided a full house and land for her. This is the culture of the wealthy Ndigbo. 3 Likes |

Re: How Igbos Lived In The Olden Days by Bkayyy: 6:17pm On Jan 08, 2022 |
aribisala0:Women inherit their mothers exclusively but still inherit their fathers. A woman can acquire as much land as she likes with the inheritance she got from her fathers at her husbands place. And for the last time, she marries to live with her husband not like you people that remain and breed in their fathers house. 2 Likes |
