Back to the topic!

The same way igbo foods are usually very expensive to cook and our ladies are more expensive to marry, compared to other nigerian foods and ladies. I just don't understand.
Even we build more expensive houses,have higher standard of living and thing are more expensive in the east...

Could it be because they generally have more spending power due to wealth acquisition?

Just asking.

Diamonds are beautiful but very rare and expensive; so are the Igbos and their culture.

Bco igbo people too like money

Been looking for books that could possibly explain the link between the igbos and the Luo tribe of Kenya as they bear same names such as Okoro, Ejimba, Opara, Ngige, Amadi, Mbaka etc and they love showing off wealth like igbos!

Interesting.

MissingBudget:

How expensive were the ones you saw? I buy novels for up to 3-4k or more without regrets.


My uncle has a really wonderful book on the Igbo culture, I could send it across to you if you care.

Bros, is it hard copy or eBook? I would like to have a copy pls

I wanted to buy from shops, For the first time I was told black and white print of Books is 1500. I just took one.
I must finish every book about Biafra war. Before descending on those that explains Igbos origin.

I don't concur with that statement sir...

It's basically "different strokes for different folks"

I have some pdf books but most likely not something you would like.

Talks much about canibalism and has lots of pictures of nude women with rafia tied around their waist and teenage girls with nothing on but beads.

The books were written in the early 1900's. Not many white men were able to penetrate igbo land unlike other parts of the countrie, hence the few available books are scarce and expensive.

abuayman:
I think is because, their history is not straightforward

Even common sense is not common. Dear tribal bigot what is not straight forward should be cheap. Where is your sense of reasoning?

That is uncouth

Even for common DSTV to show Africa magic igbo you have to do compact at least unlike Hausa or Yoruba
For Gotv no show at all.

Why?

nonjebose:
That is uncouth

Are you sure he understands you ? Hoping he doesn't see this as a form of praise.

Better soup na money kill am biko

Better soup na good cook kill am.

Noneroone:
Its because most Igbo texts are original. They didnt allow foreigners to write their history and culture. If na lie ask Elizabeth Isichei and Onwuajeogu.

Elizabeth Isichei's books are rich in historical research work. I recommend them highly.

For real??

Krismart:

Hard copy.

I am currently experiencing same issues. I have been on the net searching for PDF of Isichei Allo Elizabeth's books to download but nothing.
Someone suggested UNN in this forum so I think I will go for that option.

But I recently realized many Igbo youths are searching for books on their history. It's a growing trend and I love it. Almost all my friends are deep dug in knowing Igbo history and origin.

#IgboAmaka!!!

Please,is there any Igbo cultural centre in Unizik so I check that out first before going for UNN centre?
