the word Igbo means the ancients. with their imperial capital at Igbo Ukwu,the Igbos by 3000BC had already established the Biafran empire. |

This is historical 419 fro Igbo-Ukwu. Igbo-Ukwu used to be known as Igbo-Nkwo until a few decades ago. The piece of land where the royal tomb was discovered during the excavation belonged to a neighbouring town known as Ora-Eri. Igbo-Nkwo never had any kingship tradition, until the white man came and started establishing warrant chiefs all over Igboland. Nkwo, which was part of their original name was a deity owned and controlled by the Nris, so Igbo-Nkwo was definitely and sokidky under the sphere of influence of Nri. There market remains Nkwo which could only have been established by the Nris as the copyright owners of such. Even Prof. Thurstan Shaw who led the anthropological team that excavated the sites in Igbo-Nkwo, after his interviews of elders of Igbo-Nkwo and Ora-Eri and of course after empirical studies made it quite clear that the Igbo-Ukwu findings belonged to the Nris Btw, Ora-Eri was, and remains an Nri outpost with kingship tradition that pre-dates the coming of the white man. Please do not pay any attention to this huge falsehood emanating from Igbo-Nkwo. 4 Likes |

cheruv: Guy, this your dream of territorial expansion will fail, oh! People from Igbanke, Ika and some other areas in your map have consistently denied being Igbo. So why are you annexing their territories in your map?? ![]() 1 Like |

cheruv: Very funny, the Ijebu are not Yorubas according to you. They just bear Yoruba names, wear Yoruba outfits. conduct their marriage, naming ceremonies and festivals according to Yoruba tradition, uphold Yoruba customs and traditions.... yet in your small mind, they are not Yoruba. ![]() ![]() Hehehe....keep deceiving yourself and exposing your ignorance. |

basilo101: Bros, stop shooting yourself in the foot! Igbanke people bear names like Omorodion, Ovia, Irabor, Uwabor etc. Are those names Igbo as well? This issue has been debated on several threads on Nairaland. Just do your research and stop calling people what they are not, biko! https://www.nairaland.com/392463/why-ika-nation-never-likened |

cheruv: Direct your question to the Yoruba people, because I can't speak for them. But I have worked in all those areas where Egun, Awori and Ijebu-Igbo people live and none of them have ever denied being Yoruba. All their names, customs, marriages, naming ceremonies, proverbs, ethos, traditions and norms are Yoruba. Their languages are merely dialects of Yoruba language. You are the only one claiming that they are not Yoruba, and honestly, your ignorance is appalling! ![]() ![]() |
