Fake historian who desperately bend at distablizing peaceful coexistence in my country Nigeria, due to their religious inferiority complex at all costs want to distort the history of Nigeria.
You have such interesting content, please do a video on the idea that the modern African Americans have that the African people brought over as slaves were secretly Hebrew and Israelites. Africa has such a rich history, but they reject it all to steal that of the Jews. There is no Hebrew language or synagogues found in Ancient Africa, Yet they try to make connections where their are none. They claim thst Inri is actually Ivrit which means Hebrew????
This is a really excellent video! Pretty unbiased and a clear summary of the history of the respective regions. Keep doing this man! I think more people (Nigerians and non-Nigerians) need to know about our history.
I’m going on a Nigerian history marathon rn. Great job sir! Please keep posting African history videos like this, our history is fascinating yet not well-known ❤️
So the igbos were the most democratic and capitalist people in the region in other words they were civilized.respect to the Oyo for they were also a civilized monarchy
Dear RUclipsr. The nupe people were not created by Tsoede. Tsoede rule over 19 nupe and then further tried to bring the other dialects together. Also the present nupe people are from the kush kingdom otherwise Nube or Nubian. The Arabs Ibn Khaldun and the rest couldnt pronounce the 'P' just as they call PAPA ''baba'. Nupe people are actually the Nubian who left Egypt and the Sudan scattered around the Nile river. That is why elements of pyramids can still be found in ancient nupe towns like PATIGI, KUTIGI, LAFIAGI etc Nupe culture can be traced down to 900bc. There actual records and citations to prove this. Thanks. And i love what you do by the way
@Ronu creative. Good job for these that you are doing to re-educate us Nigerians. Our educational system has never truly educate us to properly know who we truly are. To contribute to the history you gave about the Igbos, you need to research more about the Uhturu Ancient Empire that stretches from Uhturu(In mordern day Abia State of Nigeria) to a part of modern day Edo and Yoruba land. Its now, more recently, being recognise as the first ancestral home of all Igbos as evidence there and around Igbo cultures suggest. Also research on Aguleri, Igboukwu and Arochukwu so as to know and inform the public about the true known history of Igbos.
Although African history is often rich with informative materials that give the reader insight into the way the people lived before the Europeans set foot on the continent. It is refreshing when natives share their history from their perspective and color it with words and nuances that are only peculiar to them. This effort here is no different except for the fact that the presenter butchered a lot of the pronunciations that if you weren't familiar with the locations he was referring to, you'd be lost and confused.
There was no Nigeria or Ghana back then... there was the Ghana empire which I believe collapsed before the first would be Nigerians started embracing Islam... I will have to double check on that.
Heyy!!! In the Caribbean we have a traditional festival called “Jukunnu”. Some spell it jon cannoe or Jonkunnu. Must be the same Jukun!!!! Also, look on the map. There is a Mecca in West Africa...shockingly! There is a Tera all that. 🤔🤔🤔. But spelling's are slight different at times.
Heavenly Beautifully Black ,the jokunnu festival as practiced in T&T,and some other Carribean come from the Igbo,at least that's what the historians say. Jokunnu comes from ji oku nu,meaning hot yam,or if you may,"fresly cooked yam""it is the New yam festival(Ofala) and is 1 of the,if not the most important festival to Igbos,it signfies the end of the harvest season and the begining of a new year,it is mostly performed at the end of the rains,around august.igbos slaves brought this to the Americas.it is performed by with masquerades representing the spirits of the dead and a lot of fanfare.
matthew mann, Please can you expound on that claim? It will be nice to add any links you might have. You specifically mentioned sub- sahara region. That automatically precludes those regions that are populated by Arabs and their descendants.
With all this knowledge about African history and heritage, I know you will be supporting Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic. God help us achieve our goal.
It's Jukun not Junkun. We migrated from the middle east through Arabian peninsula. We first settled in Kukawa, now the headquarters of the Kanuri, later to Ngazagamu then to present day wukari in Taraba. You tried but you didn't do much research sir

I disagree with you on the conquest of Kwararafa or kororofa by the kanem Borno kingdom under Mai Ali bn Umar.They were not defeated but the war ended in no Victor no Vanquished .This led to friendship and exchange of ambassadors.The decendants of the Kanen Borno ambassadors are still in wukari and known but the descendants of the Aku Uka of Wukari have can not be traced.Kwararafa did not sack but defeated kano and zaria.The Yakasais in kano are descendants of Kwararafa.What I learnt to day that I don't know is that the Nupes descended from Igala and the Igala I am aware descended from kwararafa.
Nri was never a mecca of sort to Igbo land. Plus, there were other notable and more powerful states like the Arochukwu, Agbor, Onicha and Oguta kingdoms. Stop speculating and spreading sensational stories. The closest Igbo land came to a powerful state/military power was with the Aro confederacy which held both spiritual, commercial and military influence over most of Igboland and the Cross River region. Actual history is not your strong suit. Stick to fiction.
It's funny how every Ethnic group in Nigeria wants to know how igbos came to be. We are ancient kingdom but y'all should keep digging though maybe u will find something
jidenna Official ironically the Igbo are the second oldest ethnic group in Nigeria(ibibio being the oldest) and the Fulani being the youngest(arrived in the 1400s.) by the way I’m Yoruba.

I also love that the Nri kingdom made slavery illegal from the beginning .
This debunks the myth that all Africans participated in Slavery
Curtie shay, try to understand what you are countering, he said not all Africans meaning some didn’t, so stop contradicting yourself
@Courtie Shay nilotes didn't practice it
Courtie Shay the nri did not but the Aro did
@rdokoye read your history it was conquered by the Igbo durning the igbo ibibio wars
@rdokoye Aro is Igbo and Ibibio. They speak majority igbo language and chukwu is an igbo word not ibibio. It is called aro chukwu.
Igbo needs it on show!!
I am impressed! God bless your efforts
Thanks for the history lesson. It will be great for you to team up with the History Channel.
Nice one man. Nigeria history is interesting
Thank you
So the igbos were the most democratic and capitalist people in the region in other words they were civilized.respect to the Oyo for they were also a civilized monarchy
My guy, we are a great people
The economy of pre-colonial people can not be characterized as "Capitalist"
Where you want put benin kingdom
The whole of south Nigeria are democratic people that's why there are so many languages from the south of Nigeria.
I think the Benin kingdom was stronger and highly organised but kudos to all...

It's not "nuri" in the way you pronounce NRI. Remove the "u" sound and pronounce Nri without the "u" sound.
Yeah,
I noticed that too
made my ears itch
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Him get “R” factor. He said “Nuwi”.
Seriously speaking. Murdering my language!
When will you talk about the Igala kingdom I wonder
Igala no get Kingdom

It's Igbo, it jioku or ji ohu meaning new yam festival
Please when will you make a series about the Igala kingdom na
I like your video abeg just ask an igbo man to teach you how to pronounce Nri, lol. Keep it up bro
Thanks for the tip
I beg u ,can u do the history of Igala
Great work, but one small correction: its JUKUN not JUNKUN thanks :)
Am impressed, but wait a min! What is it with those guys clicking thumb down?
Mr. man you can't change what GOD HAS Ordained.
In my humble opinion, the decentralised societies of the Igbo was the best system to date. No central wahala.
Many people are not aware of this but certain parts of Sub Saharan Africa had slaves that were Semitic Peoples particularly Arabs
matthew mann,
Please can you expound on that claim? It will be nice to add any links you might have. You specifically mentioned sub- sahara region. That automatically precludes those regions that are populated by Arabs and their descendants.

What is junkun? They are Jukun, pls.
We trust in our father in heaven.

😂😂! Everyone migrated from the Middle East through the Arab Peninsula! Thus defying all archeological knowledge outside of Nigeria 😂
Pls do Igala people
igbos are the oldest tribe in Nigeria
Not true
Stop telling lies Igbo people are from Israel
It is true they are the oldest in Nigeria dating back to 900 bc
