omonnakoda: My guy, don't you think you're the one deceiving yourself here? At a time abobakus were being buried alive in Yorubaland because a king died, Igbos were isolating criminals and social deviants yet you think that's not nice? These are people that ordinarily would have been killed in other places but they were allowed to live in Igboland but in isolation as a detterent to others. The Osu system is like modern day prison we're criminals are sent to serve their sentence. So, for Igbos to have such system during medieval times shows how evolved they were. Also, they never allowed autocratic rulers but instead had the communal nze and ozors which can be likened to the Senate's upper and lower chambers of law making. If all these are not democracy in its purest form then what is it? 2 Likes |

This wawa man you always want to discuss others igbos you know nothing about. Nri is the origin of igboland and Onitsha is not with any Benin influence Ogbuefi2020: |

VoteObi2SaveNai:Kings were buried with heads in Igboland Even titled men were buried with human heads so let us not digress YOU claim to be democratic But it is a lie Women cannot inherit their fathers and have no say in governance Osus have no say Abiriba, Aro, Oguta, Onitsha and Nri are monarchies YOU are NOT democrats |

omonnakoda:You keep repeating the same gibberish, the OSU would have been executed by your feudal kings but here we kept them somewhere and give them chance for appeal. These are people within serious criminal case, yet there was no death sentence. Which else is more democratic than this? |
Re: Igbo Villages Are The Best In Nigeria by omonnakoda: 9:52pm On Dec 03, 2022 |
Ogbuefi2020:You are Go and study the history of Onitsha before talking rubbish about Abobaku Investigate Human Funeral Sacrifice in Onitsha when Obis die Google is your friend You have several monarchies in Igboland and are wrong to claim to be democrat It is hypocrisy to say that when women cannot inherit their fathers |

omonnakoda: There you go again talking out of ignorance. Firstly, Igbos lived in dense vegetative environment otherwise known as rain forest. Back then, it was almost impenetrable so it was difficult for outsiders to move in and out. Secondly, Igbo territories used to be very fertile lands, so the dwellers were largely content with vast agricultural production which eventually led to high population density. Igboland used to be the densest populated area in Africa alongside the Nile valley in Egypt! You can't possibly build large settlements in areas with such dense vegetation cover, peaceful atmosphere devoid of external attacks, very fertile lands and kindred communal setting that see everyone as equals. 1 Like |

omonnakoda:And we are telling you that Onitsha came from the other side of the Niger during the reigns of despotic Oba Esigie of Benin who formed alliance within King Henry of Portugal and Pope Nicolas in Rome just to acquire gun and invade his neighbors for slaves. Onitsha copied Benin culture which were mostly yoruba-ish |

VoteObi2SaveNai:Rubbish. Nothing inpenetrable about it. They were just not as civilized as others like the Bini and others in Southern Nigeria. It is not only Igboland that was Forest Efiks /Ibibio/ Akpa were also in the forest and developed Nsibidi, Ekpe society and other markers of better civilization/organization Millions of Igbos were captured and sold as slaves by Igalas, Ijaws, Bini, Itsekiri. The items discovered at Igbo Ukwu contains beads of North African origin so there was contact |

Ogbuefi2020:Those "mud houses" have people living in them. They go to work and their environment sustains them. Those mansions in the bushes are empty and the owners visit once a year. Meanwhile that area with mud houses also have mansions except you choose to be blind to that. |

Ogbuefi2020:I didn’t ask for a history lesson, clearly I know it . The bottomline is, contrary to the nonsense claim that Igbos “rejected” that system of government, the truth is you were mainly “Bush men” that resided inside the jungles until fairly recently and were, thus, not familiar with that style of governance that was being practiced in parts of the “civilized” world. 1 Like |

fx45: It can't be Adeyinka... Werey Grandson is in prison! He won't disturb the peace of reasonable men again in his damned life. Dude is most probably going to be deported immediately he finishes his prison sentence for his hate speaches against the igbos. He was warned just as we are warning this brood of reprobates here, but he stuck to his guns. He was dutifully arrested, tried and effectively sentenced! Someone who should be outside today doing something reasonable with his life is now rotting in the cold dongeon of London, simply because his crude hate and jealousy won't let him rest.. Na raw hate go kill all of them shaa.... |

omonnakoda:Igboland had unsual population density that's why it was a hotbed of slave raiders. None of the raiders establishment their political rule like fulani did in ilorin, they only raid and run when the natives regroup and Chase them |

RealTalkNoBull:You are ignorant. Ohafia, abiriba, Afikpo, Edda and Arochukwu were militarized city states. But they formed a trading Confederacy instead of political empire |

There is no basis for it whatsoever You keep talking Igbo land Igbo land ? That too would need definition Igboland is a creation of the British and Nigeria |

It can only be an innate inferiority complex that will make someone to come up with a thread like this one,what a shame ! Well,the Op needs to understand that not everybody is a village dweller or from some villages in a tiny erosion ravaged enclave of cannibals ! Anyway,a dwarf will always wants to measure how tall he is by the side of a Giant even though the Giant is not aware of the dwarf's existence ! Now that we have seen how beautiful your villages are in alaigbo,can you please stay and live there ? Mtchew,common sense is far from some people sha ! 1 Like 1 Share |

It is not part of any bogus Aro civilization |

Basilo101 the useless wawa miscreant. Nri is the origin of Igbo race. Onitsha wasn't influenced by Benin. The first igbo Bible and literature was written in Onitsha Igbo dialect. I don't know why a timid nsukka man like you would always want to misinform people. Ogbuefi2020: |

Ogbuefi2020:You have no history There was no pre colonial WE just hundreds of disparate jungle dwelling villagers People identified as Ngwa, Abam, Aro and so on so what we are you talking about . Some had kings some did not there never was a homogenous Igboland to justify talking about WE . or WE as democracies People who do not allow women to inherit and who practices Osu caste are not democrats |

omonnakoda:But same applied to yorubaland, as for the we, I'm talking about modern era. The British have drawn the map based on all anthropological methods of classifying an ethnic group. Eg, while Austria was part of Austrian empire together with Hungary, the main Germany was independent city states but later Austria and Germany were classified as the same ethnicity despite not being in the same country 1 Like |
