OgagaMic: Lol. Why do you take some irrelevant claims by Igbos so seriously? Even when it is clear that the claim is for comedy or satire only? Had a yoruba or efik person said it, you wouldn't have given the post a second thought but moved on. But once it is an Igbo who writes it, then it is a serious problem that calls for serious attention. 5 Likes |

bigfrancis21: There is no evidence that African Americans speak Igbo or Akan languages, but that does not mean that they are not descended mostly from Igbo and Akan people; because we know that they are. Btw, Jamaicans were aware of their African ethnicity long before most African Americans; because it was illegal for African Americans to keep the customs or speak the language of the Igbos and Akan people in America. However, African Americans still kept up with a lot of their Igbo customs by growing stuff like okra, corn and yams, which we call sweet potatoes. Many African Americans in the Southern USA used to live on small family plots near their families and they kept small gardens behind their homes were they grew those crops; hell when I go to visit my family in rural Tennessee right now I notice that all of my family members live in a direct line and they all have small gardens wherein they grow okra, corn and sweet potatoes. I live in the City of Chicago, but my family has been in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia for a few hundred years. 4 Likes |

chibecanglobal: Actually, there are probably more Yoruba people that are slaves than Igbo people; because there are a lot more black people in Brazil than there are black people in the USA. There are only about 45-50 million African Americans. There maybe over 100 million African Brazilians, some of them are called black and others are called Pardo. So that means that the Yoruba people were twice as gullible as Igbo people. http://www.city-data.com/knowledge/Pardo.html http://en.mercopress.com/2009/04/25/black-population-becomes-the-majority-in-brazil 3 Likes |

tzoracle: You're disgusting. Let me inform you old fool. I created this handle, illiad &co to defend my people against attacks from yorubas, sobos & hausafulanis & of course enemies within like yourself. That is my duty as a true son of Igbo that I am to stand and defend my people electronically&physically. Then there is the other handle to handle sensible Nigerians from all tribes and clans of whom all I truly love as I love Igbos. And when this hatred against my people finally arrived at its boiling point I will fall out for field and take the special duty of doing away with your likes, the enemies within mark my words, I will fight to defend my people even to the point of death. And should I try to run away when that hour comes, let me be strikes to pieces by Amadioha. 1 Like |

tzoracle: Sorry @tzoracle I beg to defer from your opinion. Someone rightly said "you cannot know where you are going to when you don't know where you are coming from". The recently concluded election in Nigeria requires Igbo nation to know where they are going, because they seem lost inside a country they called their own. Now they are at the mercy of APC to have fair sharing in this new Nigeria. A big gamble has been made. So there is a need to know where they are coming from, whether from Israel or Europe or mars. This will help them to make concrete decision if they still want to stay in the Nigeria colony or migrate to another colony. What I will suggest we do as igbo nation is either to be part of the central government or go to international court to ask for an absolute state of Biafra, which was the original ignored country before 1914 amalgamation. Because APC will definitely deliver good democracy and the alliance between North and southwest will continue to deepen because the south west wants development which will come from APC government, as the APC governors have done there. And this union may last for the next 100years, so what will be the end of Igbo nation in another 100years. We need to know where we are coming from. So please, any information you can lay your hands on, place them on Nairaland. This will help us to know more about our history. 1 Like |

sukkot: How can a guy in Nigeria make a statement like that about Jamaica? The white man is the criminal, but he tries to pretend that he is law abiding and that black people are criminals. Hell the white man even calls Nigerians criminals, but the white man never says what crimes he has helped the Nigerians commit. 2 Likes |

PPAngel:if you were so much of a rebellious people why did you allow yourself to be put on a slave ship ? why not do the rebellion or kill yourself before you got to destination ? you are a BIG LIAR. i know a lot about slavery and the reason the virginia slave owners loved and wanted only igbo slaves is because they were very subservient. the saying was that once the igbo slaves crossed over to virginia there spirit was broken. and if you want documentation on why the virginians only wanted igbo slaves i will provide it. it was because they were good workers and docile and subservient. and it is true that almost all the slaves in virginia were igbo. thats well documented history. so dont come here and deceive the ignorant people. out here we got people like me seasoned in the history of the world |
