Gerhards: I feel your pain ![]() ![]() You said igbos are what? If igbos are liberal in nature, why didn't you guys reject the warrant chiefs that the British appointed to rule you? These warrant chiefs are now known as Obi's in igbo land today ![]() ![]() So what happened to your liberal nature? 2 Likes

saddler: I'm not supposed to reply you again but this will be my last reply I want to know first how old you are that you don't seem to assimilate things easily What is so hard in understanding that igbo operated a different system of government? A Democratic system! They were not savages like your people who worshipped their Kings Igbo subgroup had their civilization,NRI had so many achievements and were not terrorists but well-behaved humans who ruled using priests as head instead of Kings The Nsukka war was fought with a subgroup of igbo with igala . When will you understand it was nearly impossible to capture Igbo back then because of how they were divided into sub groups Even Nsukka eventually dominated the igala people and got their influence back. The ebonyi sub group fought with Igala twice ! Twice and defeated them on both occasion. Your whole hype about your ancient people are nothing but cock and bull story , all nonsense. Minority tribe who have nothing to show for Igbo were great then , they re great now and will be great forever. 1 Like |

Voyagerr: The picture below is how you dress traditionally today. Just take a quick look at what the man below is wearing. There is nothing on him that is indigenous to igbo culture. From the head wear to dress, they all came after colonization by British. There was basically nothing about igbos before the whitemen came. 1 Like

LOVEALAIGBO:Akwete is originally Ijebu. While researching the ritual meaning of cloth among the Eastern Ijo of the Niger Delta, I examined the contents of a number of family owned trunks in which were stored old and much valued cloths traded from elsewhere in Africa, Europe, and India. One type of cloth which I frequently found in these collections was this one (See Fig. 1) made up of three, or sometimes four, woven strips that are sewn along the salvage and decorated with supplemental weft-float design. The Eastern Ijo regard this cloth as a valuable heirloom for its trade value and for the fact that its designs evoke spiritual powers associated with the sea .. The Eastern Ijo refer to this particular cloth as ikaki or tortoise, a water spirit (owu) known in Ijo lore for his combination of trickery and wisdom. Not surprising, ikaki cloth is standard attire for kings in certain Eastern Ijo communities. |

chopnaira: You don't seem to be knowledgeable enough to know that we had different sub group of igbo Look at the clothing around them , they wore clothing to cover where they felt were important Even till today some part of zulu don't wear cloth and it's like their tradition! You seem to think because they were not all covered from head to toe that means they were not civilized? You don't have any sense at all Akwete was worn by another sub group of igbo and they were completely covered The Nri have different belief, they covered where they deem important, like the men covered the private part while the lady their pu** And rape wasn't even still common then Their mode of dressing doesn't equal that they did not have civilization Instead it shows that even in this 21st century with the level of information and education around you cannot think properly.

chopnaira: Akwete was not borrowed ! The Chiefs and kings had different mode of dressing and clothing Same with the people, till today we have some dressing only chiefs and titled men wear All igbo sub group have their civilization, the fact that you're linking their mode of dressing to your claim about civilization is wild Till me how they were able to make bronze , art of lost wax even before the British, they even built pyramids Even your Benin people couldn't build one , Nri was arguably the most advanced in their time . They had religious practices so advanced. |

chopnaira: This is even years after the British discovered Benin Now look and you will notice naked people right? And also people who are not naked right? Like I said everyone all had their mode of dressing and thinking Because their breast were visible outside doesn't mean they are not civilized Even the present day south Africa still dress naked in their culture. It's a choice, it's their culture , their mode of dressing. Because it doesn't match what you want to see doesn't mean they're uncultured. So try again 1 Like
