I always say it is we humans that make certain body parts mystical. If a woman turns out bare chested like this today she will be crucified and condemned to the pit of hell by hypocritical pundits. People will still chase and rape women even in climes where they are covered from head to toe. It is the heart of man that needs cleansing. Period 2 Likes 1 Share |

zendy:not some form of Igbo,they speak correct igbo and culture is the same.I married from queens town Opobo and I did my traditional marriage here too.I was amazed that the culture and tradition is the same with mine.they sand and dance in Igbo and also Igbo proverb.I am from Abia state and my wife speaks igbo more than me.the whole of Opobo speaks Igbo and bears Igbo name too.but I think they re a mixture of Ijaws and ibos. 2 Likes |

bushdoc9919: Truth is, till this point in time to where we have evolved thus far, there is still a form of slavery or the other.. People are slaves to Religion. People are slaves to Tradition. People are slaves to Culture. If u want to talk of inhumanity, there's still a lot of War going on in the middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Gaza, Isreal, Not to go that far, come right to our door step where Boko Haram has ravaged the Far North-east .. Inside of Man from time immemorial has always been that infinite unknown that makes it always seem "Ideals are Peaceful But History is Violent" ... Sgt Don "WarDaddy" Collier World War l Veteran, Died in World War ll in Germany 1945.. You c, Collier sums it up.. Ideals always seems peaceful but History is Violent.. That's why the Bible says, Right from the Days of John The Baptist, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers Violence and only the Violent taketh it by Force. Balancing of force is really important. If you want me to illuminate you more on Forces, we'l need dig the archives to Dig up what "Isaac Newton" talked on Force and u'l see right where our current world is headed. Life was way much easier. Until what we know aint what we have been told, then we don't truly know. Atimes I could be very critical and think maybe there's need for a "New World Order" The old order has really failed humanity. |

They do, However they were once the most civilized even million times more civilize than what you think civilization is. The question you should ask is why were they like this? What kind of civilization made the iro and the buba and the aso oke and the Igbo traditional clothing? Never conclude without questioning. DBlackCeazer: 2 Likes |

robosky02:no doubt,king Jaja has a very rich heritage and I believe the first picture is not a true reflection of his great heritage,however,u must remember that king Jaja has a black american lady who was his palace secretary and one other woman of african decent from Jamaica or Haiti who also worked for him.a closer look at the picture u posted,one can still see women who dressed in native attire with open bossom.this might just be the tradition then.truly king jaja was very rich and highly influential,I think a lot can still be explored including archives and pictures about this great man.I am interested becos I married from Opobo.Queens town precisely and I dare say that Opobo is a wonderful island |

King jaja was my brother. He hailed from umuokpara, eluowerre ubahu in Amaigbo of Nwangele L.G.A in Imo State. His lineage still rule in our village. He was stubborn and was sold during slave trade. |

King Jaja whose real name was Mbanaso Okwaraozurumba, the third son of Mr and Mrs Okwaraozurumba was born at Úmuduruõha Amaigbo in 1821, present day Imo state. He was Igbo with Ibani nationality. Hausa and Fulani taps so much from their hybrid heritage. Ijaw and Igbo must start doing same. http://www.amaigbo.plus.com/files/jaja.html 3 Likes |
