odumchi: With the large and powerful city states came equally large and powerful monarchs. Igbo monarchs were mostly men, but in the olden days some communities had women as their monarchs. Women monarchs answered "Eze Nwanyi, or Lolo" bough translated to queen. Among the Igbo, several prominent monarchs arose namely: His Royal Magesty Eze Aro Ogbonnaya Okoro (King of the Aros), His Royal Magesty Dein Obi Benjamin Ikechukwi Keagborekuzi I (King of Agbor), His Royal Magesty Eze Nri Enweleana II Obidegwu Onyeso (King of Nri) and the Ezes of the Ikwerre communities.o tanx for mentiong my eze from ikpere but u also fogot d eze ihenacho njemanze d ozurigbo d fist of owere , also eze nkpazema d ede one of nekede dis re ancient kingdoms in imo |

THERE IS NOTHING MARVELLOUS ABOUT ALL THIS NONSENSE. THESE ARE IGBO CULTURES AFTER THE FACT. THESE ARE ALL BABYLONIAN AND EGYPTIAN IDOLATRY VOODOO PAGAN NONSENSE THAT YOU ACQUIRED ALONG THE WAY. THE REAL IGBO CULTURE IS THE SCRIPTURES, AND DRESSING MODESTLY COVERING ALL YOUR BODY. WHAT IS SHOWN IN THOSE PICTURES IS AN ABOMINATION. YOU PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE REAL JEWS THAT RAN INTO IGBOLAND IN 70 AD AFTER THE ROMAN ARMY KICKED YOU OUT OF JERUSALEM. SAME WITH THE YORUBAS. ALL THESE PICTURES ARE AN ABOMINATION.

Some ill-informed Ndigbo believe that the so-called Eze were powerful. Real power in old Igbo communities were in the hands of the chief priests of powerful village shrines. Those priests were so powerful and dreaded by even the rich. The chief priests shaped the Omenala(culture) of each Igbo community, often with far-reaching consequences. |

Nightshift: Omenani(Omenala) Ndigbo is varied just like the various dialects in Igboland. It's the misunderstanding or failure to recognise those varieties that fuels the culture of disunity in Igboland. Don't you think a similar argument could be made for what you wrote here?

Nsukka are Nsukka and not Igbos. Igbo people are those that are in Anambra, Imo, some part of Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia. You can tell that these group of people have different dialect and belief system. I think Nsukka are distinct people just like Ikwere and so. |

am sorry i dont know if this is a positive or negative, but i have never met any group or tribe as proud as igbos. I cherish my igbo side, but sometimes it just gets tooo much. I mean i understand a people once suppressed to almost extinction will always glorify when they can and there is nothing wrong with that, but it gets too much. Like for example, my cousins met these igbo young guys like them at the newark airport and first thing they shouted after speaking to eachother was " ahhh my brothers, nna nyem aka, ndi igbo kwenu...kwezue.unu...." and they all made a scene with their replies, i was kinda of embarrassed as they shook hand. I couldnt look up from where i sat, and most of the people in the airport was looking at them. One oyibo couple asked them, so are you guys family. My cousins laughed and told them, that they were just meeting their fellow igbo people for the first time. The oyibo husband was amazed and just looked astonished. So i ask why do "we"( i say us cuz am partly a member of the igbo bloodline) feel the need to let everyone know that we are igbo all the time. What do you guys gain from the display of overzealous pride? sometimes you guys confuse me. 3 Likes |

NRI PRIEST: Here I come; I'm very pleased to know that you have realized that Aro culture doesn't represent the greater Igbo culture. We all agree that Aro culture was relativelly new because they migrated from northern Imo and are settlers to where they presently occupy now,so,when you wanna discuss Igbo culture I suggest you start with the most authentic Igbo culture(Nri) to avoid backlash. It is both mischievous and misleading to discuss Igbo culture and start with Aro of 18century. The culture of the Igbo doesn't start with Aro Okigbo. There was Eri/Nri,Isu and others that predates Aro. Its ok to be proud,promote and glorify your culture but you mustn't neglet the culture with which Igbo people drew their identity from. Hey,I love the Aro regallia but the record must be set straight. An Igbo proverb says "ahaba oke ebido na isi..meaning; The eldest pick firstly,when the father's properties are divided. Nri bu isi Igbo! And this must be respected! In your assertion; there was Eri/Nri,Isu and others that predates Aro. What is the yardstick in putting Eri and Nri side by side. To set the record straight, Aguleri is the fist son of Eri and the reason of their present location which housed the tomb of Eri. The place where Nri resided in still evident in the present day Aguleri before they moved to their present location. Stop distorting history. |
