''Before English there was Igbo. Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel''

Igbo kwenu! I always feel like crying whenever I see teachers or parents flog their children because they were speaking Igbo language. They want their children to speak English not knowing that the English they want their children to speak was borrowed from Igbo.

"I built this hut" said the Lizard to the Man. "Can't you see that the walls are rough like my skin?"

Ubi in Igbo language means GARDEN or FARM. Ubim means my GARDEN or my FARM;Che means guard.
Cherubim= Guard my Garden or Farm.
Remember that God installed The Cherub (Cherubim) to guard the tree of life at the Garden of Eden.
op your are great!

Genesis 3:24 says, “He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.”. According to this verse, only one side of Eden was guarded—the east side and you find the Igboman in the EAST!

Chere= wait, stay, keep watch
Ubim= my GARDEN or my FARM
Which ever way you look at it CHERUBIM in Igbo language simply means Keeper of my Garden ( as in Garden of Eden )

Origin of the word church

Origin
Old English cir(i)ce, cyr(i)ce, related to Dutch kerk and German Kirche, based on medieval Greek kurikon, from Greek kuriakon (dōma) ‘Lord's (house)’, from kurios ‘master or lord’. Compare with kirk.

Igbos have always been in this part of the world.

I knew it.

We develop English language for the English.
In fact 90% of English words are from Igbo language.
No wonder the yoloba are jealous of us.
