African Americans Home Coming To Igbo Land by Biggyd2: 7:35am On Sep 20, 2012 |
In less than two months, some African (black) Americans who recently traced their Origin to Igbo land through DNA test will embark on a home coming to Igbo land to identify with their ancestral home land. They are expected to arrive at Rojenny Tourist village Oba ahead of the Obibia Eri Festival at Aguleri Otu To this end, the chief organizer of the visit and former special Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Art and Culture Professor Catherine Acholomu has appealed to the Government of Anambra state to take urgent measures to upgrade Rojenny Tourist Village for the comfort of the histrionic home coming of the Igbos from the yanks land Professor Acholonu stated that Rojenny was choused to host the visitors because of its atmosphere of nature with great tourist attraction, assuring that the visitors would be very comfortable in Oba if the facilities at Rojenny are up graded to appreciable standard. She decried the poor condition of virtually all facilities in Rojenny particularly the stadium which looks like war relics, adding that the amusement park, the club house, the zoo and the environment are not just in good shape. She however noted that facilities like the refurbished Bat Soneco Hotel and Suites, the swimming pool and the tennis court are in good shape to some level of degree She commended the proprietor chief Rommy Ezeonwuka for his efforts in establishing and maintaining Rojenny to the best of his abilities, calling on Anambra State Government to aid Rojenny village to enable it regain its status as a wonderful Tourist and Games Village East on the Niger. DNA test: Black American traces their Origin to Igbo land, set to come home The African (Black) Americans who exist in American lands of the US, Canada, South American and Caribbean countries have traced their origin to Igbo land following Deoxyribo-Nudeic-Acid (DNA) test conducted by researchers. And following the discovering however, the black Americans are set to come home to identity with their ancestral home of Igbo land. A renowned researcher on art, culture and history Professor Catherine Acholonu disclosed this to journalists in press briefing in Onitsha. Professor Acholornu informed that the proposed historic home coming to Igbo land by black Americans is a home coming of those who were sold to the white men during the era of slave trade. The renowned researcher who is a one-time Presidential Adviser to former President Oluseguu Obasanjo on Art and Culture also told journalists that American based firm NAUAS Int’l Consortium Inc USA in collaboration with Catherine Alcholonu Research Center is partnering with Anambra State Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism to organize the historic home coming. She said that on arrival, the visitors will stay at Rojenny Village Oba from where they will go to places like Eri Palace in Enugu Aguleri and others places like Igbo Ukwu Mesuem, Ogbunike cave, Agulu Lake and Omambala River etc. She stated that there is going to be an exercise to cleanse the visitors off the stigma of slave trade to be carried out at Omambala River noting that the visitors would find ways to fully integrate into the lives of Ndi Igbo. Her words “they are going to hence forth be part and parcel of the Igbo people and as such would grab every opportunity to settle, participate and contribute to the all affairs of Ndi Igbo through the help of the state Government, traditional rulers, town union, churches and other bodies. “For example, a governor or a traditional can say okay take this land and develop it as residential apartment in other words a village or community or town could adapt them as members of their entity and I can assure you that anybody that could be able to recognize them with such opportunity wont regret it. The Professor who made shocking revelation on history saying that the Igbo man is the father of civilization, science and language informed that the Igbo man is the original father of the Jews contrary to popular impression that the Igbos are from the Jews land. “No I don’t agree with you, the Jews are from Igbo land, not the Igbo from Jews, you see we have to rewrite history because a lot of things they tell us about history are wrong, a lot of them” he added. http://247ureports.com/african-americans-home-coming-to-igbo-land/ |

Congrats to them. The funny thing is that they went to Anambra of all places when it's most likely that they came from elsewhere. Well, I guess you have to start somewhere. 1 Like |

Shollypopz: Humm, well that's a little better, though still splattered with a bunch of teenybopper structure and word use. I can surely see well that they're giving out MBA's to any ol body these days. Now in regard to your jibber-jabber; the English version, contrary to your belief, actually gives your thingy up there a more serious tone than the latter form in which made it seem rather comical. Thank you for your poorest effort at formatting that thingy for the likes of me. Now you've asked me "How am I hating"; well you were being blatantly jealously sinister (hatting) upon the topic at hand, as many Yoruba, Ghanaian's, Liberians, Senegambians and some few others I've witnessed tend to often be in regard to the topic at hand for one reason or the other. By the way most of everything I type is sensible, I refrain from typing rubbish. Watch your language next time you respond to me; I didn't curse at you and I expect the same courtesy from you to me when you speak to me. Thank you. 1 Like |

Shollypopz: During our very first interaction with each other about 2 to 3 months ago, you were spewing off some nonsense about Black-Americans, as is typical, I confronted you about it and in the exchange of my logic and your ignorance, you claimed you had a MBA, in which I called BS on. Obviously I was correct. I'm 33, and you are obviously either very young and or very young minded. |
