Exactly. Arochkwu people have a huge stain on their reputation because of their past. Dude is comparing a small clan of ostracized c00ns in the igbo community to celebrated leaders of powerful civilaztions ran by slave trading c00ns whom were well respected amongst the yourobas.
Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know. So, they just practice just because. Also, I checked out the preview of the this book and another one. They said there's Jews in Kenya and etc.
Alright man. I'm still trying to learn and thanks for letting me know.Nairaland is like Lipstick Alley, don't take the bias and ignorance too serious breh
So, un adult like
During colonialism, yes. But was that by choice or was other villages kidnapping others in those villages for crumbs or to protect themselves from the cacs. Ya'll say that as if Europeans gave them options. When posters talk about slave state and non-slave state, we are talking about before West Africa was destroyed by colonialism.Unu cut that out
All you Nigerians were selling slaves
Most blacks in the New World have ancestry from modern Nigeria and/Angola
He's literally the average nut case on this subject from outside of Igboland. They have such an affinity for Nigeria when it was always a nation build by British cacs to destroy itself.
It depends on the time period. Igbos were some of the first in the trade but it was the interaction the Europeans had which made them not requested as many. Slave trading was more than just chattel, it was like a football database. They knew their skill-set, personally types, willingness to fight, etc. That being said, many Igbos were stolen, it's tragic when I heard about the personal horror stories today. Believe it or not, their was people alive as recently as a year ago that lived that time where some villages was kidnapping people into selling those in other villages into slavery. That being said, you must remember, when caught, they kill all of those who kidnapped, burn and curse the village forever. You do not realize how evil it was and how desperate some were.I DON'T want to be descendant from slave trading c00ns. Which is why I hate Coastal West African history... I can't hold it anymore...
When it come to the Igbos from what I read at least many of them were raided. Rather descend from Upper West Africans. Hell maybe the Dogon people.
Plus you need to stop using sites like Ancestry.com as examples. The majority of the AA autosomal structure has NOT been mapped and stuff like ancestry.com are not good examples. Nigerian/Angolan DNA depends on the region.
I dont believe in Biafra. would rather a restructured nigeria.
Initially GA and SC, but was sold with the rest in VA, MD and DE.
A restructured/united Nigeria isn't happening at this point. I say, let the Igbos liberate themselves and let them have Biafra. It would be better for all.
while biafra for igbos would sound good not every person in the Niger delta agrees.
no one has time to warring between ikwerre(igbo), over land or itsekiri(1 million) , edos( 5 million), urhobos(3 million), or yorubas(30+ million)
Too much headache to be arguing over what land or people are going where.
Niger delta tribes are all related to both igbo and yoruba - that's how my dad explains ethnicity to me.
Most went to DMV based on what I read. While GA and the Carolinas were largely Senegambian due to those colonies needing those type of slaves skillset for rice cultivating.
