Check Out The Song That Made Igbos Rise After Biafra by tysontim(m): 8:52pm On Dec 15, 2016 |
Celestine ukwu Ije Enu is arguably the greatest song to have come out during the civil war era, as mothers watched their husbands die, children left with no hope as hunger became their closest companion. Every one thought the Igbos will be no more, as their brothers in Rivers and some parts of Delta state denied being Igbo. Infact to be Igbo in Nigeria then is an automatic ticket to poverty. So people thought that it is just a matter of time before Igbo become extinct. This was a tribe that dominated every thing in Nigeria before the war. Then comes Ije enu the powerful song that made Igbo rediscover themselves. Yes this song made Igbos realize that they can never be conquered. If you are an Igbo Man and you don't know this song, then ask your father. Your father will likely tell you that the company or property you are going to inherit is probably Cus of this song.

kettykin: The day you see your enemy as the one leading the very day your enemy finished up with you finally. APC is not your problem you are a problem if you continue like this, what is happening or has been happening to you is not a new thing many nation like yours has been persecuted before, as it is now and shall be forever but there is a way of managing any persecution. Stop rebuking your persecutor. Learn from you past mistakes and device a means to improve better. Don't blame anyone for your predicaments take the blame and move on. Not necessarily till you destroy before you can amend, vengeance lingers and hinders meaningful development. The safest way to rise again is to stand without drawing anything down because those besides you when you are rising will find it difficult to measure the gravity of your power as you are rising. No group of people in this country afraid of you Ibos today because you lack what it takes to rise up and become strong as you claimed to be. All I see are barking dogs and irritating wolves. Remember that a Victor was ones a loser who got mad while a loser was a Victor who got pampered. 2 Likes |

Igbo songs are enchanting. I love Igbo flute music too Some of my favorites Igbo kids 1 - Dance and culture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvQI3KQ71XQ Cultural dance and flute music...A friend from the Caribbean swore their people in Trinidad and Tobago have similar cultural dance and custom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JLCd-j0qqg Igbo kids 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj2d-yTGDmQ Ijele flute music...fast forward to 1:54 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqXh9PKmSm8 1 Like 1 Share |

Arjeeni: Did I see you post this Stop rebuking your persecutor Anyway the useless APC government is not just a problem for the igbos but a problem for Nigeria, Nigeria neighbors and the international community. It was the same president that went to UN General Assembly meeting in New York to advocate for the state of Palestine but came back to Nigeria to tell biafra agitators that they should forget about biafra. The same APC government is persecuting a PDP governor for filing fake incorrect tax return whereas the president does not have a WAEC certificate. The same APC government recently set free treasonable felons who lifted arms against the Nigerian military and Nigerian citizens but are busy trying to jail a young man who doesn't not even have a dagger. The APC government foolishly set free some murderers in Kano who killed a pastor's wife but are busy persecuting those whose only crime was that they demonstrated for biafra. There is presently a military operations, python dance in the south east, an area that has not witnessed any armed attack against the military but else where Fulani herdsmen are being paid after attacking innocent villagers in kaduna. Not that I care if I did, I would have done so when igbos were giving 20 pounds for their deposit in banks or when earth scorched policy was used to deny the East a Steel plant which today has turned into the biggest white elephant project. Whenever the government persecute igbos it ends up being made to retrogress while the people they persecute advance. 5 Likes 1 Share |

This is the problem am talking about. How this one gains your Biafra state you so desired for you. While you are wailing, Buhari is a president and other parts of the country busy thinking of a way to better their lots. Who is loosing and who is gaining..... In Your Yoruba adverb... helpless child who seeks to avenge the death of his father add to the tragedy befell his lineage. Save the wailing seek the wisdom to be a strong nation there lies the real power to fight not in crying foul all the times of a situation you can't change. 1 Like |

Arjeeni: I am done with this argument, if you believe igbos are loosing and will be the final loosers in this buhari regime, then congratulations. How the other parts of the country you claim are busy thinking of ways to better their lots is better than the south east remains to be seen. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Freedom2016: Ijele music is one of my favorite, no wonder Flavor had to adopt this name. We all have been influenced by it one way or the other |
