PressMyButton:All you wrote is to you savages. Ndigbo, Hausa and Kanuri have already mastered jewelleries before Europeans came. Here is the picture of the account of the white British emissary "Baikie", when he attempted to buy one of those anklets the magnificent Igbo woman I posted her picture was wearing. He noted that each cost an equivalent of whooping four able bodied slaves. Damn Igbo women are goddesses that are adorned with wealth. Does an Afonja ugly woman deserve to wear something like that. Can the whole of Afonja land afford to decorate one of them with such when the Alaafin does not even wear rubber. 12 Likes 1 Share

BKayy:Even though the snippet you posted was not explanatory enough. However, I could deduce that about four ibo slaves equal the value of an anklet. Four ibo slaves had to be sold off to the white merchants in exchange for an anklet.. Are there any further snippets? 17 Likes 3 Shares

PressMyButton:Like I said, Igbo achievements look like works of Aliens to you Afonjas. You say smelting were not fashion? Well probably to you people that don't know much about it until Awka blacksmiths introduced advanced version of it to you lots. You might have a word with this Aro double edged sword 9 Likes 1 Share

PressMyButton:If four Igbo slaves equal to an anklet, then 40 Yoruba Slaves will be the equivalent. Do you know why? Because one Igbo slave equals to 10 Yoruba Slaves. Remember that Seriki Abass sold 40 Yorubas for one umbrella https://thenationonlineng.net/behold-an-umbrella-worth-40-forty-human-lives/ 13 Likes 1 Share |

bomb24:I read about some itinerant blacksmiths called the Isobos (Urhobos) who migrated to Yoruba hinterlands in the early 30s with a slightly modified blacksmithing. I wonder why you guys find it extremely difficult to make use of your brains in matters requiring basic logic. As at 1930, Nigeria had gone far beyond cutlasses, iron and gun blacksmithing. Nigeria was linking cities with bridges especially in Lagos. There were storey buildings, oil Mills, roads constructions, schools, there were handful of graduates at the time. Nigeria was not a kind of Stone age society as at 1930. I wonder why you sounded so fulfilled about blacksmithing as though people were still living much as hunters and wanderers. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

BKayy:I couldn't care less how many slaves he could have sold for half an umbrella. I am so much more sensible than you would ever be to glorify and gloat over white men selling off your ancestors for as worthless as an anklet. Men chained like a beast of burden while their wives served as sex slaves. That's what you glorify when Oyinbo puts an anklet on your ancestors. I will never glorify such a dehumanization when I see an umbrella shielding some wealthy slave raiders from sun and rain or a mirror carved from the finest glass around the world. Your mentality sucks. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

BKayy:Illiteracy was the order of the day as of then so, this your picture holds no water in a society where only one per cent of the then population was educated. All tribes had such funny pictures, mind you. Out of that 1 percent, yorubas made up of over 70 per cent of the educated population. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
