Breaking News: Before Nigeria was amalgamated with the Igbo people, Igbo land was one of the most advanced civilizations in Africa.
They had street lights at a time when much of Europe was still in darkness. Their level of advancement was so remarkable that British officials were said to have knelt when speaking to an Igbo king.
The only thing they lacked was military power and destructive weapons, as life in Igbo land was valued more than anything else.
This led them to overlook the development of weaponry, which the British took advantage of. Despite this, the British were never able to fully conquer Igbo land.
