I always thought it was the wife that had Igbo heritage. This statue with double eagle feather connotes a titled ancient Igbo warrior. 6 Likes |

I've checked it up and it actually says Okrika has Igbo origin. As one who has interacted closely with the natives I think in Okrika there is Igbo, Ibibio and Ijaw elements in the mix but it seems the 1st settler "Oputibeya" was an Igbo man as acknowledged by natives. It now makes sense why there is Okrika in Igboland and the popular intermarriage among the two. This is another erected statue of an old Chief in 18th century known as "Ibanichuka". The name equally suggests same pattern. 5 Likes

nairaman66:. If this were a statue of Alexander the great or Achilles you'd fall over yourself to take a selfie close to it, but sadly it's only a statue of an unknown black man with no reference in your texts books so its a symbol of blood thirst and violence  Pls loosen up, it's only art  2 Likes |

nairaman66: Chairman, if you have nothing good to say, keep quiet. You haven't condemned the violent movies on TV. What about the killings in other States? I'm sure they were encouraged by statues too. Even in foreign countries, there are statues of great men and women; even some army generals with weapons of all sorts. How does it affect anyone?
