NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by donnie(m): 2:05pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
It's not the first time I've found Igbos trying to take credit for the invention of Nsibidi writing script. However this one is the most annoying so far. The poster claimed that the script was used by indigenous Igbos in Cross River who used it in communicating with monkeys. The poster made an obvious attempt at taking away all credit from the Ejagham people, who have been known globally as the inventors of the script. He even ignored the accounts of renowned Igbos like Chinua Achebe and even Nnamdi Kanu who agree with reference to Ejagham as origin, and rather chose the account or a biased white man (J. K. Macgregor) who gave the credit of Nsibidi invention to baboons. In my opinion, the Nsibidi script is one of the strongest evidences of the Sumerian civilization which exited in and dominated West Africa.

forget about what people are saying about the Nsibidi language from my own research the annang are the real originator of the language because the people where the language was founded and still partially had records of it (Arochukwu Kingdom) mostly speak the Efik language more than the Igbo language there i won't want to elaborate more because the story is my future trade transaction for movie producers |
Re: NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by donnie(m): 3:18pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
victoryukpong: Mgbe was in Ejagham Cameroon before it ever got to Arochukwu. It is an Ejagham thing. The largest Nsibidi artifacts were found in Ejagham land, including monoliths. Ejagham sold Mgbe (Ekpe) to Efiks, Ibibios and Igbos. But the Efiks popularized it due to Ekpe's role in trade with Europeans and law enforcement in the Calabar region. Igbos also contributed to it's popularity, making fabrics and other items with Nsibidi writing. Many abroad refer to it as an Igbo writing but it's origin is Ejagham. And the Ejagam still retain aspects of mgbe which they didnt share. 1 Like 1 Share |

donnie: actually the Ibibios and Annang or Efiks aren't originally native of this West African region, they migrated they also have several variations of masquerades the trade stuff wasn't there actually, our presence in West Africa was first at the Arochukwu Kingdom where they first settled before looking into riverine region, there they created the kalabari kingdom i don't know where you get your Ejaghram stories but everybody knows that the Efiks migrated that is why MNK called us Jews but we're a tribe that migrated some 4 to 6k years into the West coast of Africa that's kai you dey exposed my secret story bia, nwokem |
Re: NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by donnie(m): 3:51pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
victoryukpong: Not just them. many other Bantus of the southern Kingdom of Judah also migrated in same manner to West Africa. they also have several variations of masqueradesEveryone in the region didn't come from the Arochukwu kingdom. That's for Igbos and some Efiks and Ibibios. Others migrated through Cameroon e g. Ejagham and some Anang, Ibibios and Efiks. Ejaghams were also part of the Aro Confederacy but they didn't settle there like other Ibibios or Efiks. Ejagham were in their own land and as such were close neighbors. Igbos even requested help from Ejagham to fight Ibibios away from Arochukwu. i don't know where you get your Ejaghram stories but everybody knows that the Efiks migrated that is why MNK called us Jews but we're a tribe that migrated some 4 to 6k years into the West coast of AfricaThe Ejagham story is well known... Just a little research will reveal a lot. And I knew most of the tribes of southern Nigeria (including Yorubas, Tivs, Ejagham etc.) are biblical Isrealites before I ever heard MNK say so. Efiks and Ibibios migrated through Arochukwu, but NOT Ejagham who trace theirs from Cameroon, with some migrating South to Calabar (quas) and others North to Ikom and Ogoja. Also, I don't agree with MNK and many Igbos that we are related to those whites claiming Jew in that 1948 fake ISRAEL. I'll advice you to research Donnie first before you engage me in an argument about Jews. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Have told you that Igbo is not limited to the South East alone. What you call Bantus today is what they call Igbos in ancient times. It was once the general name for all black Mmanu. The first Mmanu was Igbo and it all began in SE. You all were all over the South and some North and all have something they are good in. All your languages are all Olu Igbo. You all today speak different version of Igbo(you will call it Bantu). Know one is stealing anything. That is how you all were before. Another group of Igbos said the Nsibidi was given to the Igbos by the 4 Archangels and that was why the 4 market days in Igbo land is similar to their names Micheal- Mekel- Ekelu- Eke Uriel-Orie-elu- Orie Raphael- Aforelu- Afor Gabriel -Ngorbirielu- Gobriel- Nkwo/Ngo They are very close if you look well. And their is a true story about it All Hi-stories and research works only have 20% truth. A teacher will come first to correct all these things and all must listen to him. We are all Igbos before we became whatever today. This is not pride or bragging. It was once so. The person who wrote that thing is confused. |

bobestman: I hope you don't get offended when Benin says you are all Binis since you once lived with them. Or if Yorubas say you are all Yorubas since you migrated with them. Those of the ancient kingdom of KONGO can even say you are all KONGOs which will even make a lot of sense as there are maps which suggest that all of the land of Israel was called KONGO and bordered by a mountain range called the Mountains of KONG. In the maps below, just above the pink lining, you will see written, Mountague di Kong referring to Mountains of KONG. KONGO=Congregate=Kingdom=United etc. Many bantus refer to the archangel that led their ancestors to their kingdom as KONGO. The point is, right from bible days, the Most High gave each of the sons of Yakubi/Jacob their distinct identity even though the had similar culture, laws etc. They had different totems. Eg. Lion for Juda, Serpent for Dan, Donkey for Issachar etc. They even spoke different languages with different intonations. donnie: Even if the origin of man is in Igbo land, it doesn't automatically mean that the occupants were the Igbo speaking people we have there today. Because before ever the nation of Isaële/Jacob was born, there were people living on the continent. If you say the Igbo language is much older than what we call Bantu languages, I can say, so is Yoruba... afterall, both languages have many similarities. There are many English, Latin and Greek words that were borrowed from Yoruba and other Bantu languages. 1 Share

donnie: your opening post made you sound like an angry thug despite knowing that the person you quoted in your post was ill-informed - i then decided to just ignore your post - but on further reading your comments, i realized you are a versed person. pls do try your best not to appear like a thug when you have important issues such as this to discuss. Nevertheless, am really learning huge from your assertions. Topics like these are the kind of issues our scientists - especially our archeologists and archaeolexicologists will have enough time to work on whn we have our Biafra. Ordinary history is banned on this godforsaken contraption so how will people get to know were they are coming from. Anyways, keep it up. |

donnie: You still don't understand. You all were one and together before just like in Babel before the divisions. You see Igbos as the only ppl in SE but I tell you all black Mmanu all over the world are. This is not time to feel for people. Whether you tell the truth or not, it will soon be glaring. And what you see as Biafra is actually Igbo Nation for all. |
Re: NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by donnie(m): 6:46pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
bobestman: I understand the similar origin you speak of. But why can't you do without the name Igbo? What will happen to you if you don't call yourself Igbo? Ok, now imagine how others feel when pressured to forsake their unique identities, names etc and settle with Igbo. |

You are trying with the history but I tell you that they are just 20% truth. The true stories are not written in book of history. The power that be turned everything upside down. Have told you that there are ppl who will correct all these and unite you all. When Igbos fell into Amnesia, some of them went out and start calling themselves Bantus. Bantu is an Igbo word. Same with every language on earth today. Baa - follow Ntu - the law Follow the law. What you call as the ppl of the book today When the Igbos fell those ppl went out and continue as the ppl of the book. They too are Igbos. Am not telling you many things cos you believe so much in your histories. The rightful descendants of Aaron who are the Priests are the Aro- Chukwus of Abia state. Many of your biblical stories happened in the SE. Many who will champion this endtime things are from the Igbos. And they all are awake today. There are many things they know that the world have not heard. |
Re: NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by bobestman(m): 7:20pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
donnie: This is not time to hide anything. Say the truth and leave it that way. Do you want me to call myself what I am not? When I say Igbo, it's like you saying Bantu, all referring to all blacks. I tell you from the root. |
Re: NSIBIDI: Why Igbos Should Respect Their Neighbors by donnie(m): 8:09pm On Jun 27, 2021 |
Zaheertyler: bobestman:Nice. But to us it's from Bana-Beytu meaning children of the house. This is also Hebrew. (Bane meaning Son, Beyt meaning house). It also Abantu meaning the people, or the Father's people. Aba meaning they/these or Father/master and ntu meaning people. Therefore referring to a special people, the people of YAH, the divine people. When the Igbos fell those ppl went out and continue as the ppl of the book. They too are Igbos.I like the story, especially the part that has to do with Aron (Aro) because he was a companion of Moses and must have migrated from Egypt along with Moses. Many who will champion this endtime things are from the Igbos. And they all are awake today. There are many things they know that the world have not heard. Okay I don hear [img]https://media1./images/231f222c2c0ad30c4e9281417a7f40c7/tenor.gif?itemid=14341553[/img] |

donnie:Yesterday I was chatting with someone and tried to show him some things in a dream or vision somehow but the person is doubting. My spirit told me it was you cos I called your name. Now you see .... You know I don't teach anything like this. I only tell people to live right cos their is a time all these will be corrected. There is a lot I know but can't say. Be careful with many things you teach. Righteousness is the key here not histories cos many are lies 1 Like |

bobestman: The histories are veeeery important so the people repent as Isaële, not as just another idolatrous Christian. There is no righteousness without acknowledging who you really are. Righteousness is beyond not stealing or telling lies. It's the ability to identify satan in the earth and resist his works. Only by this truth can you have light. The info may be incomplete, but it doesn't mean it's a lie. Only when HE returns will we have full and absolute knowledge. I didn't send myself....

victoryukpong:Because of your project let me clarify some things for you. 1. Anangs for example don't begin their history in West Africa from Arochukwu. They came from among the Twi of Ghana where the name Anaang means "fourth son". From Ghana, the group moved eastward into present-day Cameroon. It was in the Cameroon highlands that the group broke off with some migrating to Arochukwu. But they later arrived at same territory in the Coastal Southeastern Nigeria. 2. The Efiks didn't create the Kalabari Kingdom, the Kalabaris did. According to Kalabari history, they were the first occupants of Calabar before migrating to their current location. Originally, they were known as the Awome. The name Kalabari was derived from their ancestor Perebo Kalabari who was a son of Mein Owei. Their original settlement was spelt as Calabar by the Portuguese. When the British came the word Calabari was pronounced as Calabar (Kalaba) instead of Kalabari. At this time the original Ijoid Kalabaris had moved to a new location which became the new Calabar while the Efiks occupied the land which then became Old Calabar. I'll advice that you don't publish your work in a hurry. Do a more diligent research first. 1 Like 1 Share |
