Revolva: Can even see from the second advert for the missing slave. His name was Kufre - which is certainly of Ibibio/Efik Origin. |

AkanIgbo:bruv, trust me when i say the white man is the enemy. no one knows that more tthan me. i am not one of these uncle tom white ass lickers on this forum. however what i am starting to despise as much as the white man is the braggadocios and loquacious nature of these biafrans. recently it is starting to get on my nerves for some weird reason. so keep in mind my allegiance is still with black people. my rant against jamaica was just a way to knock these proud biafrans down a notch or two seeing as they are claiming jamaica is a no mans land full of igbos. i dont mind people bragging if they have the pedigree to back it up but these fools brag and their states are the worst developed in nigeria. its like a poor man bragging about owning a bentley 2 Likes |

vonmaxwell: African Americans have been telling people on this website that we built America and all we got from people was denile and negativity. Yes Igbo's helped developed America, and where did you think African Americans came from? Our ancestors are your ancestors. 1 Like |

PPAngel: If you ever lived in the creole population you'll realize they never deemed themselves yoruba. Most of Haitians believed their ancestors migrated from igbo people or they are mixed of igbo tribe and non african community hence they have a town specially named after igbo and even created a song they called ibo lele supposedly it was a spiritual music from their ancestors that became mainstream when one of their musician did a video of it. The Haitian actually have never believed they are of Yoruba descendant. To be honest, they are peatically right. Most yoruba slaves and other west African nations were sent to Portuguese and Spanish speaking caribbean nations while the bight of Biafra, Asanti, and southern african tribes were sent to America and English speaking caribbean nation. The reason yoruba religion survived more so than others is Yoruba slaves were the last tribe to arrive in the Spanish nations so alot of their ppl tried to incorporate their religion to the forced religion in other not to lose themselves. The other tribes such as the wolf, etc whom were also send to Spanish speaking Carib nations that long lost everything about themselves equally learned the yoruba ppl new region. The same with the Haitian grpup, they lost their culture even though they did tried to maintain their culture as well afterall Haiti had the longest revolution out all caribbean nations, But sadly, since Haiti whites were the most brutal, they lost majority of their culture and during revolution the Haitians adopted the fastest growing african religion at that time in other to try and maintain their African culture. Till this day, Haitians were the only slaves that all they could to maintain as much connection to Africa. I'm actually very prix of those ppl despite their poverty. They fought the hardest and tried to rebuild their african connection the hardest. As for Virginia, most of the slaves sent to virginia came from bright of Biafra so this isn't much of a surprised. NC, SC and VAhad the highest number of bight of Biafra slaves sent. 3 Likes |

tzoracle: Don't let's make that mistake, remaining in Nigeria will continue to be the greatest risk to generations to come. Whether you know it or not, an average Hausa Fulani kanuri sees igbo man as an infidel therefore hates you with a passion. The only side of Nigeria that is fair to all is the southwest people and these people have come of age politically economically and educationally to know what's best for them and who they want to stay with. The financial gains to be made from our presence holds no ground considering the level of world technology advancement. Think of it Nigeria importing rice from Burkina Faso, sugar from Brazil and so on. The economy will reorganise itself and everything will fall in place, then necessity will be order of invention. New thing will replace Igbo absence and every body will be intact. Do you think Nigeria will not import everything from Biafra republic if we are allowed to go on our own, they will even import our beautiful girls in marriage and you know our girls like good things now especially money. Bros forget about oil in our land, there's abundance of oil and gas in Yoruba land that have never been explored which awolowo, having see on the future, told them not to mention there's oil in that region. And the world technology is moving away from oil towards safer energy. The only problem Igbo will have is the land mass sizeable to take them when Biafra republic is created. 1 Like |

PPAngel:another biafran concoction. the igbos in jamaica were the darkest. the igbos of future generations in jamaica only started getting lighter becaused they were enslaved with indians called coolies and from these two nations being slaves side by side, they inter-married and interbred and thats why jamaicans look the way they look. they are a combination of coolies and black. learn your history and stop lying to the people of nairaland 2 Likes |

sukkot: Provide that your proof I wait. Every body knows the Igbo slaves, wolof slaves, Angolan slaves, and Akan were the most rebellious slaves during the slave trade. The yoruba were known as docile hence they were preferred by most slaves owner. The afro mentioned were hated by the whites due to the fact the Akan, wolof, ango, igbo and efik were likely to either kill their master's, run away, committ suicide immediately after begin bought or land from Africa or incite revolution against the master. This knowledge I just told you is from was from years of me taking African American history So I would like to read where you learned otherwise and was never taught in any of the subject I've studied when I was extremely fascinated with caribbean and AA hjstory. Oya provide. The only reason Virginia took more igbo slaves than others was because the bight of biafran slaves were the cheapest at that time. Nobody wanted the bight of biafran slaves due to their tendency of committing suivide, inciting revolution or out right running away rather than slavery hence most slave owner felt they were bad decision and potentially be a lost of their money. The deep south, like VA, SC, NC took bight of biafran slaves the most because they were the most brutal slave owners in the entire America so they believed they can knock out that rebellious behaviors from igbo and other bight of Biafra slaves behaviors. Unfortunately for them, despite their effort, those slaves were still rebellious. 2 Likes |

OneNaira6: Don't forget Haiti shares Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, so some Haitians could very well be Yoruba, because the Dominicans likely were. The Haitians were also likely Akan people from the Ivory Coast and Ghana as well. |

OneNaira6:and i repeat, the only reason the virginia slave owners wanted igbo slaves ( during trades they specified that they wanted only igbo slaves and is the reason why like 80 percent of the slaves in virginia were igbo ) is because, as the virginia historians put it, and i quote verbatim ' THEY WERE EASILY DEFEATED AND BROKEN '. its well documented virginia history 1 Like |
