If the textbook is not part of approved textbooks for the syllabus, then it has no business with ministry of education.

Many have written about a coup and called it 'Igbo coup' but no petition has been written against those propagandists.

Talking about facts. What evidence do you people have that Oduduwa fell from the sky?

If you were educated you'd have known the duties of that ministry as regards education in the country.

If you were educated you'd have known that the book, "Igbo coup", wasn't distributed in schools and made If part of syllabus for Junior secondary school students to read.

The thing is, you people will never take a few moments and think about your replies before posting

Chucks13:
Not only ile ife why not say igbo founded entire Nigeria.

Honestly I hate all these unecessary obessession of my own people toward the SW.

We claimed we don't like SW then let's keep off their matter only a coward deep head into what he or she claed hear she dot like.

Keepp off pls keep and stop all these useless obsession of SW.

What evidence do you people have that Igbo founded Ile ife?

I told someone on this forum some months back that 'this era is the worst time to be an igbo'.

These people have now gone fully unhinged. It seems the election loss caused more damage than initially thought

Why didn't they ban the one that said MUNGO PARK Discover Roberta Niger?

So all these false history movies A or Britain or Europe we watch,
How many have been banned.

Karlman:
Fact is Igbo ancestors were at Ife, yes, same Ile Ife, and I heard it first from the Oni of Ife. What I don't know is if they were the first to settle there, and that is where the government should dig up in earnest search for truth and fact.

And as for those of you jumping up and down over what you know next to nothing about, the present Igbo is not planning to come back to Ife for any reason, in fact it was the Oni himself that was asking Igbos not to forget they moved from Ife.

Let the government set up a committee of enquiry to look into history.

Igbos have been in Ife which the Oni himself spoke about severally that Igbos were once at Ife, and same as benin.

I heard Oni of Ife in a video telling Igbo people that they moved from Ife in the olden days.
Government should do a finding rather than dismiss the book entirely just to be politically right.

Going through comments on this threads showed how obviously there little number of learned people on nairaland. No brainstorming, no academic exchange, just blind and ignorant arguments from people who know next to nothing about the topic.

FYI Igbo ancestors were at Ile Ife, go and dig up. The question here is, we're they the first.

They are mainly people that are driven by hate. They hate anything Igbo, even if it will save their lives. I feel sorry for those that intermarried with them...

thesicilian:
Lol. Na wah o.
Is this a form of eastern jihad or what?

You are fighting yourselves.
No one in eastern Nigeria rates you guys over there.
This idea that the igbos are somewhat trying to take over Yoruba land is nothing but the height of inferiority complex.
Elections are getting closer and the anti igbo propaganda has been ignited once again..

OPONU disguising.
You lout gave yourself away with that faux pas about "Bob the builder"😜.

What evidence do you people have that Igbo founded Ile ife?

Go and ask your ruler. Most of you will leave what's in your backyard and be yarning babablu.

Satya1:
Igbos the most intelligent black people
Hate it or love it . The igbo is on top

I can see you are trying so hard to console yourself.

"They make this mistake of believing that the Igbo descended from the Jews. No. It is actually the way round"

This amount of delusion is astouding...

Dancebreaker:
hmmmmm.
We want facts based on archaeology, ancient oral records, consistency across various tribes, etc.

One should be open-mind. But making assertions without exhaustive research work is not good enough.

it is the duty of intelligentsia to challenge it. You do not use state institutions to fight scholarly research. Truth is the most powerful ideology, if you fight it with brute force instead of truth, even the enemies of it will come to accept it.

How does this translate to Igbos founding Ile ife?

Igbos migrated from Ile ife now means Igbos founded Ile ife?

Honestly I am appalled by the level of ignorant people on nairaland and unfortunately they are the majority here.

Igbo people were in ile Ife, in fact, at a time they terrorised the yorubas then and took some as slaves, until a yoruba woman warrior infiltrated the Igbos and came back to reveal to her people that the Igbos were not spirits as the yorubas then had thought. I think she later got married to one of the Igbo warriors, she fought and liberated her people. This is pure historical fact, told by yoruba kings from that time.

Hypocrisy go make you dey babablu bulabu.
Did I say anything about anyone founding anything?

You go just jump into comment and be posting bla bla bla.

Igbos are really obsessed with Yorubas, or how else do you explain this?

olawonder:
Oh this is nothing, give it a time and we’ll soon find out the the Igbos founded China!

They already claimed they found American (emerigo nkam) and Japan.

Na dem be news. Na dem still found Igodomigodo too.

And yorroba claimed to found tbe whole universe with cock and snail shell

Evil people can't take half of what they dish to others.


That's why they are running around like headless chicken over this one

You don't even know the moremi story,it was not the Igbos,the war was with the ilajes in ondo...

Ile ife is easier and safer to claim.

There dare not. try that rubbish with Kano.

If dog dey mad,. that one no mean say hin no go sabi fire.

press9jatv:
they will soon claim they found Israel too.

The Jews have made a press conference to debunk them too.

Please I am not talking about Moremi, not at all.
Before today we're you ever aware the Igbos were once at ile Ife?
If you had not been aware kindly go and dig up and find out some of the events that played out in that era, and how they subsequently left Ife.
Please I am only interested in an academic engagement and not interested in tribal whatever.

The Ooni said Ugbo people who are present day Ilaje in Ondo. Vanguard, the pro IPOB media house changed it to Igbo.

Very Petty group of people.
FG came to disown or Yoruba came to disown.
Keep using the federal structure to do childish personal things. National assets are now been re-name after Tinubu.

Ile ife this and that about Igbo, go and ask Ooni and stop trash

this was why they banned history. They didn't say the book was false, they said it's a threat to national unity
