TheKingIsHere: Wikipedia is generally acceptable to a certain degree but due to the ease at which it can be edited, it's always advisable to refer to the direct article that was quoted usually referenced at the bottom page for authenticity sake. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheKingIsHere:If Olaudah was a criminal,Igbos will still accept him afterall we have not disowned Evans and other criminals. In Igbo culture,you don't throw away a child away with the dirty/bath water. We accept the good and strive to change the bad. Educate yourself and stop twisting igbo historical achievements. 1 Like |

rabzy: This is the problem with most people that why the country is stagnant. Anybody that has a contrary opinion must be from the other tribe. I posted a Wikipedia article which was exactly similar with the picture you posted. You claimed that Wikipedia isnt reliable. I asked you to post your own credible source, till now we have been hearing stories. The man might be igbo, he might be Edo or not. The writing in the article isn't enough to decide, however my greatest surprise is that some people are ready to accept that igbos were under the Benin Kingdom even when they have argued against it with me in the past. Same way i told an Edo lady here that igbos share similarities with them right from the past.. She disagreed. If this guy was a criminal, everyone will deny him. |

TheKingIsHere: Hasty generalization and sweeping accusations, so because a lady disagreed with you then everybody shares her view. IBORI and IGBINEDION are criminals and their people have not shipped them elsewhere. Anini probably the most famous thief in Nigeria is from igieduma, no one has denied him his place. Evans from the east and a host of others. Everything he said about himself shows without doubt that he is an ibo man 1 Like |

Leez: I love this. I remember discussing with ngozi123 that igbos or can we say some igbos came from Benin kingdom.. .she denied. This was on a previous thread some time ago. One other guy called hammerT was her back up. Now, here is some one who is a great man, all of a sudden it is agreed that igbos right from Onitcha down to asaba migrated from Benin kingdom. This argument is just based on history but my greatest disappointment is that some people who don't have anything reasonable to say will tag it to hatred. |

TheKingIsHere: Yes you wanted this on front page when we had not demolished you. You copied the mods. Why did you do that? And see how unintelligent you are. So this article that roundly condenms and overtly criticizes the igbo race is written by an igbo man. You are deluded, i swear. You are too low for me. As for the author of that article, i urge you to 'use your head'. |

Ngozi123: Equiano even used the wird oye-igbo. Ngozi, dont mind the guy. He just cant believe that an igbo man is the first ever literate black man. He was told that yolibats are first in education and enlightenment. Lol. His systematic disillusionment has just begun. |

TheKingIsHere: Dont put everyone in the same box. no one here is an ancestor, we are just trying to get as much as we can from a very distant past. There are still debates even among ibos as to how strong and the extent ofBenin influence. no one can know for sure. Olauda statements can be taken for what he has said without having to bring in other argument here. He is ibo in a village that has a nominal benin influence, that is not hard to accept and he cant ever say that if he was a benin man or if he is from etsako. |
