Africans are not dumb.. What people call colonisation of Nigeria took British Empire almost 40 years of war using machine guns and Canons to fight every kingdom in Nigeria into submission and signing treaties The Europeans had superior weapons, Africans had local guns , swords and spears... Many kings like Alafin and Emir of Zauzau gave a good fight but still got chased away . 2 Likes 1 Share |

techmo: You are partially correct with "Almost 40 years of war". It was about 32 years of war. It took British Empire only 9 months to subdue Oba, Alafin, king and Emir in Nigeria and 30 years to subdue Ndigbo. Please do not be a revisionist like your forbearers. By 1903, the British had made a mice meat of Oba, Alafin, king and Emir in the real estate which later became Republic of Nigeria. However the British colonists were bogged down with war attrition against Ndigbo which did not end until a year to silly amalgamation of northern and southern Protectorates. 1 Like |

techmo: Are you Okay? I do not want to you as a compatriot. I guess you cannot simply read. From your link are these: Some of the Aro leaders, like Okoro Toti, were arrested, tried by tribunals, and hanged. The Aro Confederacy was destroyed and Eze Kanu Okoro (king of Arochukwu), went into hiding but was later arrested. Although Aro dominance crumbled in March 1902, many Aros took part in later resistances against the British in the region such as in Afikpo (1902–1903), Ezza (1905), and other areas where the Aro had a particularly significant presence. The defeat of the Aro did help the British to open up the interior, but serious opposition to British penetration in Igboland clearly did not end with the Anglo-Aro War. In the years that followed, the British had to deal with many other conflicts and wars in various parts of Igboland such as the Nri Conflict (1905–1911), Ekumeku War (1883–1914), Igbo Women's War (1929), All above were hassles British had to undertake to subdue Ndigbo yet from the link you posted. Please do not dream of taking IQ test because it will amount to momentous disaster. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dedetwo: When you catch them telling lies they throw insults and try to deflect Kpele Mr IQ tester Only war fought or British invasion on Ibo land was the Anglo - Arochuckwu invasion and it ended in 4 months, other tiny Ibo Eze had already bowed to British superior powers without lifting a finger If you are certain British Empire fought any Tiny part of Ibo land for 30 years kindly post a verifieble link to such bunkum silly claim From Oyo to Sokoto caliphate real battle never lasted more than a year in including the famous Arochuckwu, conflicts trade dispute and negotiate lasted long but not actual battles . |

Many of us need to read book" Destruction of Black civilization" by Chancellor Williams How the whole North Africa was once Black,how the European and Asians came Christianity and islam. Why we have a large amount of black population in Mongolia,india,China,Australia,Iran and Iraq. |

techmo: What insult? It is from the link you supplied. From you own very link you posted, come these: Some of the Aro leaders, like Okoro Toti, were arrested, tried by tribunals, and hanged.

techmo:Liar. Why are Yorubas hell bent on claiming Igbo history for themselves. It took the British few months to capture the entire yoruba, just a single day to capture Benin Kingdom and exile their Oba after the Oba massacred the British emissaries and few weeks to subdue the entire North with all their emirs. It was reported that the British walked straight to the Sultan of Sokoto because the Emirs were busy fighting themselves while it took the British 32 years and to subdue the Igbos. The British even reported that they were not in full control of Igboland even after 50 years on naming it their colony. It is important to note that it took the British one full year to capture only Arọ Chukwu that is just one village in Igbo land and complete three years to capture the remaining Arọ Chukwu allies in Southern Igboland 1 Like 1 Share |

Bkayyy: Bro the lies from the cowardly backstabbers will never again allow to stand for a minute. I usually come to this forum to bring a spear of contrary to the silly falsehood perpetrated by the turncoats from Nigeria. The jackass had stealthily given the credit of stubborn resistance of British colonists to irrelevant goons such as Oba, Alaafin and Emir. 1 Like 1 Share |

techmo:You now engaging a Biafran that is not scared of links and proofs. Read the first paragraph sir. It says "During colonialism, of all the subjugated peoples in Nigeria, the Igbo were the only ethnic group that tenaciously resisted the British imperial control and domination of its territory" before giving you her estimated number of years it took the British to capture Igboland which is him being partial to the British by reducing the number of years it actually took them 1 Like 1 Share
