https://www.nairaland.com/646049/nigerian-igbo-african-american/20#18039291 Excellent post kwame. our muslim forefathers are rarely ever discussed. In fact little is known about them in the diaspora esp. since most of the diaspora are now christians or catholics. (of course I do not care for religion, however our muslim ancestors are just as import seeing as how they instigated and took part in some of the most famous and brutal revolts). |

collynzo2: Does this Kwame guy have a job? Jeez! Can you have a job without as basic high school education? I don't think he really reads any of his sources. Notice how I challenged many of his assertions using the charts he provided, he has yet to provide any rebutal. In fact he stopped mentioning me in his rants. He has his cheerleaders so maybe that's why he still posts. 1 Like |

Crayola I just stumbled across this post by another AA(hopefully it isn't one person with multiple IDs) attesting to the Igbo ancestry of AAs. KB1: As I've said, I and others, like Hero, have proven over and over again on the place that we AA are of majority Igbo descent. When will you nay sayers get that through your heads. We aren't attempting to cling on to anything or anyone in saying this; we are proud of what our people have achieved and become since arriving in this land. We are simply stating the undeniable facts; you can wish it away and or simply deny it, but the truth will always remain just that. https://www.nairaland.com/267564/igbo-ibibio-etc-atlantic-slave/4 |

Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by bigfrancis21: 2:48pm On Sep 11, 2013 |
@Crayola and Jay Read this write up by an African American. He seems to be saying that Ebo language had some influence on Ebo nics aka Black American English. I just noticed the similarity between Ebo and Ebonics. Could it be that the term Ebonics came from the fact that Ebo slaves spoke an Ebo form of English? Ie they spoke English the Ebo way or 'Eboistically'? Or could 'Ebonics' have originated from 'Ebony'? http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/j.1556-3502.2011.52120.x/asset/j.1556-3502.2011.52120.x.pdf?v=1&t=gza1py0o&s=037fe2b1107f4c5070cefe358b1c6899a9810551

What the IGBO LIARS ARE HIDING ABOUT "NAT TURNER IS THAT HES PART AKAN". NAT TURNER At birth on October 2, 1800, Turner's owner recorded only his given name, Nat, although he may have had a last name within the slave community. In accordance with common practice, the whites referred to him by the last name of his owner, Benjamin Turner. This practice was continued by historians. Turner knew little about the background of his father, who was believed to have escaped from slavery when Turner was a young boy. Turner remained close to his paternal grandmother, Old Bridget, who was also owned by Benjamin Turner. Turner's maternal grandmother was one of the Coromantee also known as the Akan people from present-day Ghana, a group known for slave revolts. She was captured in Africa at thirteen years of age and shipped to America. Turner spent his life in Southampton County, Virginia, a predominantly black area.[5] After the rebellion, a reward notice described Turner as: 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high, weighs between 150 and 160 pounds, rather bright complexion, but not a mulatto, broad shoulders, larger flat nose, large eyes, broad flat feet, rather knockkneed, walks brisk and active, hair on the top of the head very thin, no beard, except on the upper lip and the top of the chin, a scar on one of his temples, also one on the back of his neck, a large knot on one of the bones of his right arm, near the wrist, produced by a blow.[6] |

Gwendolyn Hall has been quoted in this thread to show Igbos were unwanted and useless. The same Hall wrote: "...during the Spanish period in Louisiana the mean price of Igbo men was highest among the five most frequent ethnicities." "The Igbo became one of the five African ethnicities found most frequently in Louisiana documents after 1803. Between 1804 and 1820, Igbo began to appear in higher proportions among all Africans and became one of the five most frequent ethnicities encountered in the documents. They were more heavily MALE than during the eighteenth century." "Igbos were among the ethnicities ACTIVELY smuggled into Louisiana long after the foreign slave trade was outlawed. They were smuggled into Cuba in LARGE numbers as well." "Igbo women were among the two African ethnicities whose women had the highest proportion of surviving children....The other ethnicity with high reproductive results were the Wolof....Mandinga women demonstrated relatively low reproductive results...Congo women's reproductive rate was substantially lower, possibly because of a high abortion rate among them..." Now the interesting part: "African-Americans are likely to be descended directly from African women via the female line because they have many more white male than white female ancestors. In the United States, our African mothers were reasonably likely to be IGBO or Wolof: a thesis which can eventually be tested through DNA studies". This is not from Douglas Chambers who y'all believe to be pro-Igbo. The quotes are from Dr Gwendolyn Hall. Kwame has been quoting her researches, but CONVENIENTLY ignored these sections. Its Okay. Me, I'm just passing by. 2 Likes |

Jayvarley: Jay, I did some research on him. I've noticed his immense hatred for Nigeria and Nigerians, especially Igbo people. His hatred didn't start today. He goes from thread to thread repeating the same thing he does here. This thing he does excites(Nigerians will say 'sweets') him a lot. He's really deriving fun from the attention being given to him. In my research I discovered that this is not the first website he's done this thing. He's been doing it since last year on other websites before he found nairaland this year and joined. He has 2 monikers, Awodwa Gyan-Oniwe and Kwame Tut. Awodwa Gyan-Oniwe is his older moniker which he used to register on other Nigerian sites like topixforum.com where he attached 'Prof' to his moniker and spewed hatred against Nigeria and the Igbo. http://m.topix.com/forum/afam/TNTGIHD5TE7O93KOU/p105 When nobody seemed to be paying him attention again on topixforum.com, he joined nairaland with the same moniker and continued his hatred. Then decided to change monikers and opened the 'Kwame Tut' account. Few minutes ago spam bot banned him for spam activities on his last post, that's the hidden post you see up above. Once spam bot bans you, you cannot comment using the account until the ban expires(usually 1 hour or 1 day). Then he logs back into his first Awodwa account to continue the hatred. Go through his past posts on both accounts. What you'll see is pure hatred everywhere. Just pure hatred. The Igbo people must really be some big people to him. That explains why he devotes all this time, attention and energy expressing hatred on them. I don't see him give any other Nigerian tribe this hatred he gives Igbos. Our attention is giving him so much pleasure. The moderators have not yet taken note of him. He needs to be banned from nairaland, on both accounts. Any other account he opens and continues to spew hatred or any newly-opened moniker that starts to comment here with hatred and negativities will be him and will be banned as well. This man's problem is much bigger than we thought. |

Radoillo: Gwendolyn Hall has been quoted in this thread to show Igbos were unwanted and useless. Thank you. I have that material but I withheld dropping the link since. That's the same Mildo Hall he claimed attacked Dr. Douglas Chambers. I just discovered another PDF book, 'Slavery in Maryland' released by the Museum of Maryland, in conjunction with the University of Maryland(one of the top schools in the US). In the book, despite not focusing much on African Ethnicities and slave numbers, however they gave the most credence to the Igbo group for their participation in the slave trade. |
