I'm shedding tears already. Knowing how my fore fathers lived in Peace with his neighbors, not having intentions to conquer anyone despite their high intelligence and how they where treated by other tribes, like the Igala in their mission to educates them saddens my heart. This is the first time I'm learning about the first generation of the Igbo race and I can boldly tell you ma'am that we (the Igbos) are really the sons of NRI, because without and atom of proud, we are highly intelligent, peaceful to live with and with stand any form of uneasiness. Thats why you can see that we're fighting to get our nation (biafra) to go back to the ways of our fore fathers. Thank you for your enlightenment.
Africa will always be behind because of this and that. Look at America they take people from all over the world and bring the best in them. Africa don't do that but everyday we blow hot air.love your channel.

Thank you for bringing this history of the Nri Kingdom to prominence. As a proud Igbo woman, I have done a lot of research into the myths around the origins of the Eze Nri and his people and the notion that they may have migrated from the Nile Valley or the Levant. This is not as far fetched as people may think as the early Hebrews were not as the Hebrews of today. In addition early British explorers have noted many Igbo practices were similar to that of Judaism.
Yes Indeed we Are The Original Hebrew without Doubt⁉💯✡ However LIKE sister Above Said and Stated we Are Trying to Decolonize Our Minds and Go Back To Nature as Afrikan People of The Diaspora Ancestors Dieties Orishas Mother/ Father Gd Ying ☯ Equality ⁉Ase Amen 💯👑
@@Sweetdification if u are Yah's portion whatever u are trying to do will not work he will not allow it so go back to Yah leaving other foolishness behind. To me it's funny how we would rather be equal than to hold the kingship; something I'm not willing to do anymore, the Father says turn away from Babylon with it sounding you are trying to embrace it. We in the states have been looking for answers with us finally getting them finding out that we are Israel. My dad's line traces to Igbo so with me knowing that I want whatever the father has for me where going backwards is not an option. Also to let you know, their is no such thing as equality it is more about righteous leadership with you being judge on how you treat people.

If history about igbos is followed correctly, you will find that igbos went as far as southern regions of african eg Mozambique, Zambia Angola etc. Thank you so much ma'am you are highly appreciated.
@@ubaniubani4054 there is so much we don't know about ourselves. Our enemies destroyed our traditional names and history. They put themselves into our tradition and theirs to us. They call us barbaric while the truth is other way around. Today the whole world knows that Jews are white people! Yet the truth is other way around. Woow even robbing identity? 😂😂😂
Correct! You will see all kinds of Igbo names all through out. But I've seen Yoruba and other upper W. African names and words in the Southern part too. Chioma, Ngozi in (Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi), Chi, etc. The name nairobi is connected to it- "Ni-Obi". I looked into it when I was finding so many Nigerians coming up with Kenyan traces in their DNA results. It was quite interesting. But look into the old kingdom of "Mono-Emugi" (like Enugu) and the Abagusi tribe (like Egusi). So I saw so much proof that W. Africans including Ghanaians have similar connections with those in the southern regions. I find so many connections with tribes like the Shona people. Their names in Zimbabwe will blow your mind. So many Eri or Ogadi similarities.Take a look into the Congolese traditional garments. It looks so much exactly like the West Africans. Zambia has so many similarities. Even their traditional dances. 1 love:)
Another wonderful topic you should do a part. As a side note when the British introduce European education to the Nigerian people it was the Ibo people who was first in the queue, regardless of what u think of education. The British themselves was two face after independence having allowed the Northerners to control government over the more wiser and advanced people. I think you call it divide rule and conquer. Even thou Nigeria is independent as most African countries, it appears that the slave master is still around. Keep up the good works and we will continue to support.
Well Linda, the evidence that I preview from that time seems to suggest they were on the fore front of education compare to other tribes, this simply because they were more exposed and enlighten. If you look at the north today, there is a concerted effort to destroy schools claiming Western education is no good but don't provide an alternative further taking under age girls as wives who suffer numerous mis carriages is insane. I firmly believe if Nigeria had a igbo President or were on the higher plateau of political and economic development of Nigeria. Nigeria as a nation would have been the envy of this world and they would have had a President today in UK attending the G8 meeting as a member.
Thank you so much for the history of Nri & Igboland. Never let the legends die. Please continue what you do. We have new children, new babies coming and must know of their legendary contributions. Thank you. And Thee ALMIGHTY bless you and keep you.
I wept while I listenedto the narrative of a great cultural and scientific ingenuity of the igbo people after all we are great. Thank you for this research

I believe they can be found also in Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea is just that they put the borders between them ,also apart from the Trans Atlantic slave trade
Yes but those were nearby kingdoms the Nri pledged allegiance with, all those kingdoms came under one democratic federation and called their region Biafara. Nri kingdom gave Biafra one of the longest lasting golden age in the world if not the longest (9th century to 1600s when it shrunk). This is the part of history people ignore or simply don’t know. Thanks for your interest bro. We are so underrated just bcus we weren’t a major military based kingdom.
So impress to learn about African history, please would you help talk about Cameroon and southern Cameroon which is presently at war clamouring for cessation, thanks again.
Great job and good narration of Nri Kingdom. I enjoy it. Am from Nri Kingdom. I come from family lineage with longevity of life and also family that retained most of their culture. Some of your narratives is in line with stories handed down to us by our great grandparents, grandparents and parents from my mothers side of the family. However, there are some that is not captured which you rightly acknowledged. Thanks for your work.
I enjoy all the history that you share in the videos. Quite educational and inspiring. I would like to suggest that a video on the indigenous people of the Caribbean (Carib, Arawak, Taino, etc) and South America. What became of these people, following there first encounter with Europeans. Did they put up fierce resistance to the invaders or were they duped as a result of their welcoming and generous nature and subjugated/wiped out. Thank you.
The kind of story I like to hear is Africa export culture, civilization etc. to all the world and not the other way round, since the oldest people in the world appear to be from Africa. So I prefer to hear that the Igbos build Israel, not Israel building Igbo.
The unfortunate religion embedded in us often gave this inferior complex. Since Africa is the origin of civilisation, igbo people founded Mesopotamia before descending to the land of cannan from Uh. Hence well known for their continue migrating and coming back to their source. After developing the middle East, some of them emigrate beck to their origin of igbo uku. The Jew are of the igbo descent not the contrary. Judaism is of igbo culture.
As an Igbo person this is fascinating and explains why most Igbo insist on sending any Igbo man who dies abroad "home" to Igboland for burial. They still believe a man of stature or one who has gone through the initiation rituals of manhood such as iwu akwa is buried abroad his spirit will have no rest.
Another point. The saying that "Igbo Enwe Eze - The Igbos have no Kings" can be misleading. It only means that Igbos are so republican, that their kings, unlike their neighbors can only rule by the consent of the people. The people are represented by the eldest first son of each clan or village, and that constitutes their national assembly. The practice is still active till today, but has been severely weakened by the British imposed Chiefs for the purposes of Indirect rule.
Why misleading. The traditional societies are not conventional monarchies. It's simple. Eze is not necessarily used in the same sense as "royal king" in Igbo. For example Eze ji or "yam king" simply means renowned yam farmer and has nothing to do with royalty. As presented here, most historians emphasize that Eze Nri was more of priest than a king in that autocratic sense
@Son of NOK: The saying is actually "Igbo ENWEGHI eze." I agree with you that did does not simply mean what the statement infers. @AK's understanding and interpreting is fatally flawed. Sometimes one's interpretation of certain words and statements may not appear to be what one immediately sees.
God bless you mama Afrika.. No wonder Britain is against us over the restoration biafra nation back on earth.. Because they knew who were.. They destroyed our igbo ancient language and symbols 🔣..
Interesting request, guess u have to make the first move. Some of these "tribes" are quite large by the way. The one featured, has as much people as Colombia, actually Nations.
This goes to show that things fall apart was more than a book of fiction. It's a history book. In Igbo land, u don't shed blood anyhow. Okonkwo learnt the hard way.
@Danny Viral News ...Liar ! The unknown gunmen are actually DSS government agents and Fulani herdsmen invading igbo land, kidnapping and assassinating innocent children, women and men

The Igbos had contact with the mohammedans through the Nupe tribe from the North before or at the same time with the European/Christian contact. However, Islam never jived with most Igbos even up to today. One thing is clear however .They have been living at peace relatively before the foreigners came. Their contact with the Nupe tribe was peaceful at first to the extent that one Nupe man was elected twice as Mayor by the Igbos in their capital city.So Igbos never had born-to-rule or domineering mentality.
@@kofisam9650 On the surface they are acephalous and has no king. But on the deepest level they are not acephalous and they have the Almighty God as king. That is why they can never be destroyed.

The Igbos were living in small unit with clan heads as their leaders. there's nothing like a kingdom in Igboland... the recent kingship practice in Igbo land is due to the indirect rule by the British, so inorder to carry their agenda smoothly, the British chose people to be their Representatives/chiefs, and this representative are now the royal families across Igbo land... moreover, as black people, we should research and read more about our past, so that someone will not come out with false history, just to validate his personal daydreaming.
We don’t take people land, we don’t conquer if we do our neighbours today who denied being from igbo clan with different tongues, would have spoken Igbo language today
That’s a weak stance to be proud of n a reason why the Fulani seeks to conquer us. Only the Igbo is proud not to conquer or expand its territory as if it were a noble gesture when it’s in fact a very weak n submissive one.
@@agbordaniels lol Jihadists from the Mali empire who often recruited soldiers from Zamfara, fought us three times and lost, the Portuguese conquered the seas as they say it but they could not conquer the river border kingdoms of the wider Biafra nation. After our homeland the Nri kingdom was shrinking, the Arochukwu became an official empire (but still maintained no king) and the strongest in the Biafran federation. We fought the British since the 1850s until they won in 1902. So there’s more to our story. The fact we didn’t conquer while having metal weapons didn’t mean we couldn’t defend. Neighbouring kingdoms tried us and didn’t want to piss us off bcus they would lose many. As for me I think we should have went ahead to conquer the whole of west Africa since they were so cocky but our ancient customs forbids us to. We’re so underrated because we weren’t a military based nation but other foreign kingdoms like the nupe seem to forget that we supplied to them superior weapons in which they used to defend themselves against the Janjaweeds. We weren’t weak bro, others didn’t senselessly waged war against us for a reason.
All west African groups will find their origin to what is now Sudan Igbo people are Nubian people just like the Yoruba housa and Fulani Mandingo that etc they are one of the first to migrate southwest for a better life in the forest.Nigerian are are one family
I wouldn’t agree. Maybe Nri, Igbo-ukwu did not have the military might, city planning, population, weapons of those 3 but in terms of governmental system, safety, quality of life and quality of metal working I think it was better. If you want to compare any Igbo state to those 3, it would be Ahaba or arochukwu. Arochukwu Confederation was very organised with massive public buildings such as the temple, had a myriad of tribe present (Ijaw, Ibibio-Efik-Annang, Ekoi and Igbo). Had an impressive military (loyal mercenaries from Abam, Ohafia, Bende and Ibibio militarised states). Had an impressive arsenal of guns, swords and shields. And had massive influence.
I have often wondered where the Igbo characteristics of accounting for every last penny came from. They share this characteristic with the Jews. This is the sort thing said in jest in my youth which however had a historical theory to back it up.
The Jews are a poor copy of Igbos which is in fact a misspelling of Hebrews. Stop comparing yourself to a bad photocopy. Be proud you’re the original n the world stole your identity.
@@agbordaniels Not all hebrews are Jews. Genetically, Igbos are not Jews but they are the reconable children of Abraham who have been circumcising on the 8th day even up to today. However, circumcision of the heart seeking the Presence/ face of God is a better circumcision now(Hosea 6:2). An Igbo man who is circumcised on the 8th day but can kill his own brother is not different from the uncircumcised Killer herdsmen ravaging their land now.

If you ever fought against colonialism your land was either cut to pieces and incorporated into other countries(like Somalia, kurdishtan) or your were rendered stateless. Trust me. This reality shows Igbos were warriors and peoples of morals/dignity.
Well I disagree on the map put in place here, one can't believe that there are Igbo towns that extended up to Kogi state and Benue state, even in Rivers state 75% of Rivers state is indigenous Igbos and in parts of Cross Rivers state there are Igbo towns there which all extended down to parts of the Atlantic Ocean in Rivers state.

There were Igbos living in UTURU before the arrival of Eri. Eri an some of his relatives may have been the mixed great grandchildren of Uturu Igbos returning home. The Uturu people migrated before/during/&after the BANTU expansion. They took the Igbo language to Ancient Egypt (Nkem=Kam/Kemitic), Levant (Nke Nna=Canaan), & Babylon (Anu Nna gi=Anunaki). That's why Igbo place names (Sa a Nna ayi=Sinai, Eze Ana=Ezana, etc) are common in the Middle East.
I know what you’re saying, the older sumer/Kush/Eden civilization that is depicted in Babylonian, Sumerian and Egyptian hieroglyphics. We’ll prove it soon with tourism, we even an oral history that talks about a cave God dwelt in before he left man. Let’s talk history the way everybody will accept it for now but soon we’ll all have accept that the older Uturu Igbo language is the mother tongue, the one we speak today I believe is the Nke nna version.
Great exposition ma, but you needed to digge more you didn’t make mention of arochukwu kingdom which are mostly the high -prest of the Gods, as of those days.
Yes! I have been waiting for someone to say this. The Bamileke kingdoms were part of the old Biafran federations. Check out the pillars in old houses, anywhere you see that architecture of pillars is Biafran territory. Bamileke, Nri, Iduu igodomigodo, Igala, idoma, old Kalabar, we were a highly successful democratic nation which is why the white man refused to tell our history.
@@JustThinkingAboutIt stop your big fact lies. There are many tribes that amount to the now Igbos. How would Edo come from Igbo when Edo have existed thousands of years before Igbo? When was the Igbo created? Go and check the Igbo language creation by the British, and through the tools of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther in 1857. Which now later form the tribe Igbo. Before then, there was nothing like Igbos and they had no language except for Isimbiisi which was a coded occult language. This was done to have a larger population in the East vs the West and North to balance power for the British. I sometimes don't get where u guys are getting info from. Here is the fact, some Igbos are the blood line and children of Pa Idu second son. The iduu, idoma, the Edo's and the Igalas are crosslinked due to Kogi, Kwara and Idah people. The Onitsians migrated from Edo (Ogodomigodo). Go and read Nnamdi Azikiwe not this ur illiterate Nnamdi Kanu. Further more, majority of Igbo came from Cameroon, Angolan and Congo. Does the son comes from the father or the father came from the son? U guys hates Edo so much for nothin, the Edo have always remain neutral since the formation of Nigeria. The only area in Nigeria that got it's country frag, embassy in another country, a referendum (1963) Midwest region. You guys want to take Edo so bad because it is the only place that can distort ur lies with their formidable history.

There have always been a pattern of distorting histories from both europeans and africans as well.I want you to google the nigerian protectorate flag of 1914 and 1960 and explain why the symbol of star of david there.This was 34years before todays Israel had there independence in 1948.Because Lugard said it in 1914 doesnt mean Igbos started using that symbol then.But the same europeans will turn around with some africans and say Igbos have no history.You fought wars in 1967 to eliminate them and tried to change their history.Strange
@UMAR.Z. ABDULKADIR Why are you, talking of using war to conquer Igbos when Islam is supposed to be a Religion of peace? People like you should abandon the Hadiths of war and embrace the Kuoran of peace.There is no compulsion in Religion. The reality is that it will be easier for a Fulani man to be a Catholic than for an Igbo man to embrace an Ishmaelitic Religion even in 1000 years. Igbos are peacefull and progressive people and Allah/Abiama God is their king.
There's many israelites throughout sub Saharan Africa. Even including most of the yorubas. We all came from the e1b1a haplogroup. Which means we came from one ancestor.
Hi Aunty. When you say Nri, I also hear "Omri". I had a powerful revelation about him and Nebuchadnezzar (Nebu/Nebo). Do you know that the Hausas and those in N. Nigeria bear that name but spelled differently? Look into their traditional book called "Chronicles". Also, I've had quite a few Igbos tell me that they are Nebo. Well the Anambra ones did.
Whilst I agree that the Igbo and other southern Nigerians have their origins in North East Africa especially the Nile Valley we must remember that he border of the kingdoms of Israel and Judea or Judah were more extensive than the present day state of israel . At its height both kingdoms would have extended across the Sinai peninsula into Egypt and further south down the Arabian peninsula and Red Sea into Sudan and Ethiopia. Also israel and judea were never mono-ethnic states but contained many different ethnicities and breakaway groups and the Jews or Israelites also travelled extensively . Above all this is the fact that the original Jews and original man created by God or the universe was black.
I too believe that the Igbo originated from the land of Israel; and I base this argument on the biblical account that the children of Israel were scattered into every landmass. The scriptures state that the southern kingdom which comprised of the tribes of Judah, Levi and Benjamin were scattered to the four corners of the earth but the northern kingdom that consisted of the other 9 tribes from all accounts fled into Africa in order to escape from the Roman invasion. Furthermore, there is a tribe of black people living in the rural areas of South Africa called the Lemba that said their ancestors originated from the land of Israel also. They said that their ancestors went to the south traversing through Zimbabwe and the neighboring countries and crossing crocodile-infested rivers to distance themselves from the invading Romans. They observe the jewish customs including the seventh day sabbath and also the dietary laws of the Torah.
Dear sister, the true biblical Israel is in central and south Africa. Israel left Eygpt and went south to Canaans' land in southern Africa. Messiah of the true Bantu of which some are mixed with the Yoruba and Igbo is whispering in our ears through dreams, visions and prophecy who we are. The house of Judah and Israel are on the continent of Africa as well as the dispersed ones that the Messiah is calling back to Africa from all over the 4 corners of the earth. The Messiah is awakening the hidden tribe of Judah all over the globe.

Thank you for bringing this history of the Nri Kingdom to prominence. As a proud Igbo woman, I have done a lot of research into the myths around the origins of the Eze Nri and his people and the notion that they may have migrated from the Nile Valley or the Levant. This is not as far fetched as people may think as the early Hebrews were not as the Hebrews of today. In addition early British explorers have noted many Igbo practices were similar to that of Judaism.

To me it's funny how we would rather be equal than to hold the kingship; something I'm not willing to do anymore, the Father says turn away from Babylon with it sounding you are trying to embrace it. We in the states have been looking for answers with us finally getting them finding out that we are Israel. My dad's line traces to Igbo so with me knowing that I want whatever the father has for me where going backwards is not an option.

Very interesting. Thank you Mama
If history about igbos is followed correctly, you will find that igbos went as far as southern regions of african eg Mozambique, Zambia Angola etc. Thank you so much ma'am you are highly appreciated.
Thanks for shairng!

You're very correct, we the Igbos know that quite well that the Mozambique and co are our relatives.
@@ubaniubani4054 there is so much we don't know about ourselves. Our enemies destroyed our traditional names and history. They put themselves into our tradition and theirs to us. They call us barbaric while the truth is other way around. Today the whole world knows that Jews are white people! Yet the truth is other way around. Woow even robbing identity? 😂😂😂
Correct! You will see all kinds of Igbo names all through out. But I've seen Yoruba and other upper W. African names and words in the Southern part too. Chioma, Ngozi in (Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi), Chi, etc. The name nairobi is connected to it- "Ni-Obi". I looked into it when I was finding so many Nigerians coming up with Kenyan traces in their DNA results. It was quite interesting. But look into the old kingdom of "Mono-Emugi" (like Enugu) and the Abagusi tribe (like Egusi). So I saw so much proof that W. Africans including Ghanaians have similar connections with those in the southern regions. I find so many connections with tribes like the Shona people. Their names in Zimbabwe will blow your mind. So many Eri or Ogadi similarities.Take a look into the Congolese traditional garments. It looks so much exactly like the West Africans. Zambia has so many similarities. Even their traditional dances.
1 love:)
Nice one madam
Another wonderful topic you should do a part.
As a side note when the British introduce European education to the Nigerian people it was the Ibo people who was first in the queue, regardless of what u think of education. The British themselves was two face after independence having allowed the Northerners to control government over the more wiser and advanced people. I think you call it divide rule and conquer. Even thou Nigeria is independent as most African countries, it appears that the slave master is still around.
Keep up the good works and we will continue to support.
The Slave Master is Surely Around Look@The Control❓💯
So you are saying the ibos are superior than northerners in Nigeria?
Well Linda, the evidence that I preview from that time seems to suggest they were on the fore front of education compare to other tribes, this simply because they were more exposed and enlighten.
If you look at the north today, there is a concerted effort to destroy schools claiming Western education is no good but don't provide an alternative further taking under age girls as wives who suffer numerous mis carriages is insane.
I firmly believe if Nigeria had a igbo President or were on the higher plateau of political and economic development of Nigeria. Nigeria as a nation would have been the envy of this world and they would have had a President today in UK attending the G8 meeting as a member.
Thank you so much for the history of Nri & Igboland. Never let the legends die.

Wow I am really impressed with the scientific proficiency of the Igbo people in crafting tools especially in the area of metal work which they fashioned for ceremonial uses and decorative uses. Seeing the complexity in the design of some of the objects shown is truly impressive. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us. I am really grateful.
I believe they can be found also in Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea is just that they put the borders between them ,also apart from the Trans Atlantic slave trade
Yes but those were nearby kingdoms the Nri pledged allegiance with, all those kingdoms came under one democratic federation and called their region Biafara. Nri kingdom gave Biafra one of the longest lasting golden age in the world if not the longest (9th century to 1600s when it shrunk). This is the part of history people ignore or simply don’t know.
Thanks for your interest bro. We are so underrated just bcus we weren’t a major military based kingdom.

The kind of story I like to hear is Africa export culture, civilization etc. to all the world and not the other way round, since the oldest people in the world appear to be from Africa. So I prefer to hear that the Igbos build Israel, not Israel building Igbo.
You are right
The unfortunate religion embedded in us often gave this inferior complex.
Since Africa is the origin of civilisation, igbo people founded Mesopotamia before descending to the land of cannan from Uh. Hence well known for their continue migrating and coming back to their source.
After developing the middle East, some of them emigrate beck to their origin of igbo uku.
The Jew are of the igbo descent not the contrary. Judaism is of igbo culture.
@@marcigeleke8211 I think the state of Israel promote the opposite of your story. And also added some supernatural touch to it.
I don't hear her saying Israel build Igbo
@@davidchinenye1529 you forgot to say the name of the person you are talking to
As an Igbo person this is fascinating and explains why most Igbo insist on sending any Igbo man who dies abroad "home" to Igboland for burial. They still believe a man of stature or one who has gone through the initiation rituals of manhood such as iwu akwa is buried abroad his spirit will have no rest.
Another point. The saying that "Igbo Enwe Eze - The Igbos have no Kings" can be misleading. It only means that Igbos are so republican, that their kings, unlike their neighbors can only rule by the consent of the people. The people are represented by the eldest first son of each clan or village, and that constitutes their national assembly. The practice is still active till today, but has been severely weakened by the British imposed Chiefs for the purposes of Indirect rule.
Why misleading. The traditional societies are not conventional monarchies. It's simple. Eze is not necessarily used in the same sense as "royal king" in Igbo. For example Eze ji or "yam king" simply means renowned yam farmer and has nothing to do with royalty. As presented here, most historians emphasize that Eze Nri was more of priest than a king in that autocratic sense
@Son of NOK:
The saying is actually "Igbo ENWEGHI eze." I agree with you that did does not simply mean what the statement infers. @AK's understanding and interpreting is fatally flawed. Sometimes one's interpretation of certain words and statements may not appear to be what one immediately sees.

The Igbos had contact with the mohammedans through the Nupe tribe from the North before or at the same time with the European/Christian contact. However, Islam never jived with most Igbos even up to today. One thing is clear however .They have been living at peace relatively before the foreigners came. Their contact with the Nupe tribe was peaceful at first to the extent that one Nupe man was elected twice as Mayor by the Igbos in their capital city.So Igbos never had born-to-rule or domineering mentality.

@@slappymuzik5256 Igbos were acephalous people, in fact they don't have centralized authority like northern Nigeria, which had a whole caliphate ruling the entire northern territories... The Igbos were living in small unit with clan heads as their leaders. there's nothing like a kingdom in Igboland... the recent kingship practice in Igbo land is due to the indirect rule by the British, so inorder to carry their agenda smoothly, the British chose people to be their Representatives/chiefs, and this representative are now the royal families across Igbo land... moreover, as black people, we should research and read more about our past, so that someone will not come out with false history, just to validate his personal daydreaming.

We don’t take people land, we don’t conquer if we do our neighbours today who denied being from igbo clan with different tongues, would have spoken Igbo language today
That’s a weak stance to be proud of n a reason why the Fulani seeks to conquer us. Only the Igbo is proud not to conquer or expand its territory as if it were a noble gesture when it’s in fact a very weak n submissive one.
@@agbordaniels yea might be ..? Which I do understand
@@agbordaniels you misunderstand peace to be a weakness. Shallow thought
@@agbordaniels lol Jihadists from the Mali empire who often recruited soldiers from Zamfara, fought us three times and lost, the Portuguese conquered the seas as they say it but they could not conquer the river border kingdoms of the wider Biafra nation.
After our homeland the Nri kingdom was shrinking, the Arochukwu became an official empire (but still maintained no king) and the strongest in the Biafran federation. We fought the British since the 1850s until they won in 1902. So there’s more to our story. The fact we didn’t conquer while having metal weapons didn’t mean we couldn’t defend.
Neighbouring kingdoms tried us and didn’t want to piss us off bcus they would lose many. As for me I think we should have went ahead to conquer the whole of west Africa since they were so cocky but our ancient customs forbids us to.
We’re so underrated because we weren’t a military based nation but other foreign kingdoms like the nupe seem to forget that we supplied to them superior weapons in which they used to defend themselves against the Janjaweeds. We weren’t weak bro, others didn’t senselessly waged war against us for a reason.
@@darkseiid gwa ha biko (tell them pls)
All west African groups will find their origin to what is now Sudan Igbo people are Nubian people just like the Yoruba housa and Fulani Mandingo that etc they are one of the first to migrate southwest for a better life in the forest.Nigerian are are one family
This is very good. I only ever heard of Igbo-Ukwu, which from what I understand wasn't as advanced as the Edo Kingdom, Ife or Kano.
I wouldn’t agree. Maybe Nri, Igbo-ukwu did not have the military might, city planning, population, weapons of those 3 but in terms of governmental system, safety, quality of life and quality of metal working I think it was better.
If you want to compare any Igbo state to those 3, it would be Ahaba or arochukwu. Arochukwu Confederation was very organised with massive public buildings such as the temple, had a myriad of tribe present (Ijaw, Ibibio-Efik-Annang, Ekoi and Igbo). Had an impressive military (loyal mercenaries from Abam, Ohafia, Bende and Ibibio militarised states). Had an impressive arsenal of guns, swords and shields. And had massive influence.
@@dokorobia8713 Thanks for the insight.

I have often wondered where the Igbo characteristics of accounting for every last penny came from. They share this characteristic with the Jews. This is the sort thing said in jest in my youth which however had a historical theory to back it up.

An Igbo man who is circumcised on the 8th day but can kill his own brother is not different from the uncircumcised Killer herdsmen ravaging their land now.

Please can you change this your entry musical tune!
There were Igbos living in UTURU before the arrival of Eri. Eri an some of his relatives may have been the mixed great grandchildren of Uturu Igbos returning home. The Uturu people migrated before/during/&after the BANTU expansion. They took the Igbo language to Ancient Egypt (Nkem=Kam/Kemitic), Levant (Nke Nna=Canaan), & Babylon (Anu Nna gi=Anunaki). That's why Igbo place names (Sa a Nna ayi=Sinai, Eze Ana=Ezana, etc) are common in the Middle East.
I know what you’re saying, the older sumer/Kush/Eden civilization that is depicted in Babylonian, Sumerian and Egyptian hieroglyphics. We’ll prove it soon with tourism, we even an oral history that talks about a cave God dwelt in before he left man. Let’s talk history the way everybody will accept it for now but soon we’ll all have accept that the older Uturu Igbo language is the mother tongue, the one we speak today I believe is the Nke nna version.

Before then, there was nothing like Igbos and they had no language except for Isimbiisi which was a coded occult language. This was done to have a larger population in the East vs the West and North to balance power for the British. I sometimes don't get where u guys are getting info from. Here is the fact, some Igbos are the blood line and children of Pa Idu second son. The iduu, idoma, the Edo's and the Igalas are crosslinked due to Kogi, Kwara and Idah people.

People like you should abandon the Hadiths of war and embrace the Kuoran of peace.There is no compulsion in Religion. The reality is that it will be easier for a Fulani man to be a Catholic than for an Igbo man to embrace an Ishmaelitic Religion even in 1000 years. Igbos are peacefull and progressive people and Allah/Abiama God is their king.
There's many israelites throughout sub Saharan Africa. Even including most of the yorubas. We all came from the e1b1a haplogroup. Which means we came from one ancestor.
Thé ndigbo are not stateless we have our region,
Hi Aunty. When you say Nri, I also hear "Omri". I had a powerful revelation about him and Nebuchadnezzar (Nebu/Nebo). Do you know that the Hausas and those in N. Nigeria bear that name but spelled differently? Look into their traditional book called "Chronicles". Also, I've had quite a few Igbos tell me that they are Nebo. Well the Anambra ones did.
Thats great Prof. Thanks for putting some of us through.. I was meant to under stand that the Igbo pronunciation is same as Hebrew. /Igbo . Thanks.
Nibo is a town in Anambra
Whilst I agree that the Igbo and other southern Nigerians have their origins in North East Africa especially the Nile Valley we must remember that he border of the kingdoms of Israel and Judea or Judah were more extensive than the present day state of israel . At its height both kingdoms would have extended across the Sinai peninsula into Egypt and further south down the Arabian peninsula and Red Sea into Sudan and Ethiopia. Also israel and judea were never mono-ethnic states but contained many different ethnicities and breakaway groups and the Jews or Israelites also travelled extensively . Above all this is the fact that the original Jews and original man created by God or the universe was black.
I too believe that the Igbo originated from the land of Israel; and I base this argument on the biblical account that the children of Israel were scattered into every landmass. The scriptures state that the southern kingdom which comprised of the tribes of Judah, Levi and Benjamin were scattered to the four corners of the earth but the northern kingdom that consisted of the other 9 tribes from all accounts fled into Africa in order to escape from the Roman invasion.
Furthermore, there is a tribe of black people living in the rural areas of South Africa called the Lemba that said their ancestors originated from the land of Israel also. They said that their ancestors went to the south traversing through Zimbabwe and the neighboring countries and crossing crocodile-infested rivers to distance themselves from the invading Romans. They observe the jewish customs including the seventh day sabbath and also the dietary laws of the Torah.
Dear sister,
the true biblical Israel is in central and south Africa. Israel left Eygpt and went south to Canaans' land in southern Africa. Messiah of the true Bantu of which some are mixed with the Yoruba and Igbo is whispering in our ears through dreams, visions and prophecy who we are. The house of Judah and Israel are on the continent of Africa as well as the dispersed ones that the Messiah is calling back to Africa from all over the 4 corners of the earth. The Messiah is awakening the hidden tribe of Judah all over the globe.
Igbo had no king before the white man came. Igbo had councils of elders no king
That's the kingdom of IDUU IGODOMIGODO we are brothers. ALL HAIL IDUU IGODOMIGODO BIAFRA REPUBLIC
@@biafrafreeedom4257 Yes,They are Idu and so They have the Almighty God as king, not any Oba. That is why they can never be destroyed. But their destroyer shall be destroyed unless they repent and do restitution so that the Most Mercifull Allah/Abiama/ELHYM will bless beyond comprehension. God is not mocked.

Madam the map is not correct cos we have Igbo communities in coastal region 🤔 which you ignored !
What part in the coastal area does the Igbos belong I have never had this your narrative before Igbo all want to change goal posts.
You have never heard abi ! Becos u are u don't read your history book 📚 ! The Igbo ikwerre and ijaws are the major dorminate ! Ok since u don't kw let me educate u for free 💯! Before the civil war we have igbos ie ikwerre obigbo andoni elele oniapor umuola umu meanings children of which is common in all part of Igbo land etc ! After the war ended Gowon created River cross river state give some part of igbos to Benue kogi just to cut humiliate Ojukwu n igbos to pieces ! Hope u get it now ! This is why dey denied you history in schools till date ! 💯
Tochikwa you just wasted time in educating an ignorant person
@@tochika3598 may God bless you my sister
@@tochika3598 that is your own narrative the tribes like ijaw are never Ibos because they called them south East by the colonial does not mean they are Ibos.
They from the south South have said it loud and clear that they are not Igbos, why do you want to change their history for them. Your map is map of Igbo nation is out there. Please face the fact.
you are joking. What narration is this?
NRI is not the head of Igbo/IBO which is a corrupt word of Hebrew the true children of Jacob called Israel but Aguleri the ancestral home land of all Igbo's. NRI migrated to his present occupancy from Aguleri.
This is vague mythology . Isreal? Hmm Convince me .
The wicked one has established many stumbling blocks for the Bantu and the rest of the world, but the events are very important!
Father Abram was born in Mesopotamia west Africa in Tera Niger and died in Mamre Sout Africa, he never ever left the continent of AKA Africa!! He was a Black Man, there is no Isis Ra El in the Bible the name its Fake our father name was Akobi, Akobe the first born of Chineke!
All roads lead to Kanaan which is in Africa;
Abram's journey starts in Tera, West Africa in Niger, and into Haran which is in Nigeria West Africa going up still into Bethel South Africa;
The geographical location which the wicked one has moved these place are wrong; The Levant is all "FAKE locations!
Gen 12 (NKJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁹ So Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
¹⁰ Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.
The North is always DOWN and the South is always is UP just look at upper Egypt and lower Egypt, the river flows down not up!!
Gen 13 (NKJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
² Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
³ And he went on his journey toward the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
⁴ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the SoNini.
You don't have to understand me or believe in me but seek SoNini the Almighty for the truth!!
Halalela!!
