cheruv:I would advise everybody to ignore these people. He doesn't know history. So it's you and your brothers that PROPAGATE (in your own words) history that know history? As for Ekumeku war of the Anioma I have read a lot about it, I've been told a lot about it by people that witnessed it and I personally know the family of some of the commanders of that war and no where have I ever heard of any Nri influence on the war. I'm sure you just propounded this theory from the figment of your imagination. Or did another of your propagators help in propagating this? 1 Like |

hammerF:After the Berlin conference of 1884 in which the Brits were awarded the Niger area.... They moved in to consolidate their gains. The Igbo country was of course under their purview so they sent in troops to invade and conquer our country. The first Igbo state to fall casualty was Opobo in 1887...its King was tricked and forced into exile. By 1900 almost all of the princely states in the Igbo country(onicha, abō, oguta) had accepted British suzerainty. The gerontocracies were the next and these were very difficult because unlike the princely states, decision here was made by the oha. Some gerontocracies like Ndoki, Oroata surrendered without a fight, others especially the Eastern Igbos decided to rather die in battle than surrender to the British. It was in this chaotic state that the princely states of Western Igboland formed an alliance somewhere in present day aniocha in the 1890s and declared war on the British. This war was called "Agha Ekwumekwu" translated literally as the don't talk war or the silent war. They attacked British outposts and assassinated collaborators among themselves. It was during this ekwumekwu war that the British attacked and conquered Idu, exiling its emperor in 1897...when the ishans that were marching out to aid Idu against the British heard the Brits had sacked Benin, they quickly surrendered to the British but the Ikas and the Oru that were allied to them in the Ekwumekwu alliance kept up the war. The British, thinking that Arochukwu was the capital of the Igbo country attacked the city in 1900. After a series of battles lasting for almost a year and captured the city in 1902. Still the destruction of Arochukwu didn't pacify the Igbo country.... The Brits noticed that they needed to conquer a place like three or four times before they stopped rebelling, moreover the acephalous nature of the Igbo country made things more complicated. So I don't know how the Brits got to know of the spiritual power of the Eze Nri ![]() So when the British came to Nri, they forced the Eze Nri to handover his "ofo" and renounce his powers to the British. He refused initially so they brought him out for the people to see.It was said that the people fled when they heard the Eze Nri was coming out bkos he doesn't come out to start with. The Brits then humiliated him and seized the ofo from him..I heard the ofo is still in Britain till now. After the humiliation of 1911, the Brits noticed that the reoccurring rebellions stopped while the Ezaa of present day Ebonyi who gathered to do battle with the British were so decisively beaten that no two Ezaa warriors could be found together. Sequel to the humiliation of 1911,the Brits started making progress in the silent war, capturing or killing its leaders. By 1914, Anioma resistance had collapsed and the British were then able to amalgamate Nigeria. So you can see that the conquest lasted from 1887 to 1914 and after the conquest, the British seized all the guns in the Igbo country and burned them all,prohibiting them from carrying arms[I heard that's why till now in Nigeria the govt no matter what doesn't permit citizens to carry guns unlike in other places]. Bro...that's what happened ![]() 1 Like |

cheruv:now this theorem of Eze Nri being the priest/king of Igbo, Edo and Igala is slowly gaining popularity among the Igbos. Very strange people. After all you've tried to formulate, I still haven't seen how Nri influences Ekumeku war. Ekumeku war started as a result of Edo and Delta (Benin/Warri/Aboh division) politics of that time 1 Like |

gregyboy:Ovoramwe Nogbaiši was deposed in 1897...that's the year British attacked and destroyed Idu, and yes Idu is what we call Benin in Igbo. Before then the Western Igbos had already been engaged in a war against the British. Ovoramwe was exiled Calabar(Atakpa in Igbo) and he died there, though I don't remember sha the year he died ![]() |

cheruv:I know about the European Scramble for Africa... but my knowledge on the Ekumekwu war is very shallow. I have come across brief articles on the topic, but they are not in-dept. Do you have any book you can recommend? A digital copy will be fine. Don' bother about anybody not agreeing with you view... counter view is welcomed. That is what makes the debate healthy. |

cheruv:Yes, all you people do is propound theories that doesn't have any evidence to be up. Ekumeku Movement wasn't a single movement. The only p Outsiders that played any roles were the Esans and Binis that we shared same province with. Please stop rewriting people's history but cry foul when someone else write about your Igbo history. Isn't that hypocrisy? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Cire80:Its obvious this Bini bias of yours won't allow you to be objective ![]() I've read like three to four sources from different parts of Anioma concerning the Ekumeku war and none of them I mean NONE mentioned any Ishan or Idu town as participant to the war of resistance. The westernmost town of the alliance was Agbor while Onicha Ado was the easternmost town of the ekumeku military alliance. During the war, two British commanders Crewe and Chapman lost their lives at Owa and Ogwanshi Ukwu respectively. I think you're the one trying to rewrite our history to fit with your Benin bias but thank God the records are there for everyone to see ![]() 3 Likes |

Cire80:My observation: Your counter is not base on factual records. I don't want to point out the fact that you're a little bit emotional.... Can you present your facts with written records to back your claims? The Ekumeku war, seems to be the last resistance to British incursion into Southern Nigeria. If the Ishan and Binis influenced the movement, as you claimed, please do justice by presenting facts. 1 Like |
