pazienza: In as much as I accept my Igboness as an Anioma person, I can't also deny the strong Benin Royal influence on every single community in Anioma and Onitsha. When Sypder880 posted the pics of the gateway to Issele Uku ( Oligbo Kingdom ), one could easily notice the small statue of the famous Benin Qween Idah Mask at the centre of the gate. Have you also noticed the Benin royal swords held by the Obis of the various communities in Anioma? The Obi of Issele Uku, as well the Obis of other Anioma communities cannot be crowned without the presence of the Oba of Benin himself or his representative from the Oba's palace. I have come to respect this strong Benin influence because, there is absolutely nothing I can do to change it. These Royal practices in Anioma are the major reasons why some people claim Benin ancestry. Apart from the Royal practices, every other cultural practice in Anioma is Igbocentric, from the new yam festival to speaking of the Igbo language, bearing Igbo names, placing of feathers on the red Caps of the Chiefs and elders, observing the 4 market days, OSU cast system, even the old and diabolic practice of making women suffer for their husbands' death was also practiced in Anioma among many others. These are also the reasons why there are some Igbocentric Anioma sons and daughters 7 Likes 2 Shares |

nnamdijonathan: Bla bla bla What's the name of our Obi of Isele Ukwu? What language does he speak? I can hear you brains creaking noisily as you manually yank your thoughts to desperately find a reason for those names. Maybe the Oba of Benin changed our names to Igbo names ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

CyynthiaKiss: my sister even in the next 50 years, Crude oil can never be worthless. What you should have said is that Petrol will be worthless in the next 30 years not crude oil. Let me give some points to backup my claim: 1) With the current success recorded in building electric trucks, it will take many years for the developed nations to finally do without diesel powered dump trucks, haul trucks, garbage trucks, articulated trucks etc 2) Electric Aircrafts are currently not being developed and those which were built few years back by NASA could not carry one human not to talk of humans + travelling bags. Jet fighters can never use electricity same goes for passenger airplanes and helicopters. Aviation fuel will still be in use even after the next 100 years. 3) Nuclear powdered cargo Ships will not be produced for public and business purposes in order to avoid nuclear hard wear from getting into the wrong hands which means cargo ships, tug boats etc will continue to use fuel oil for a very time. Fuel oil is also gotten from crude oil just like diesel, petrol and Kerosene ( aviation fuel ) 4) Most of the worlds Asphalt comes from crude oil 5) Crude oil is the source of all plastics produced in the world today. Bio plastic production cannot overtake petroleum plastic because, the world's population will have divide its agricultural produce for consumption and production biofuel and bio plastic which is not viable. 6) Biofuel production is more expansive than petroleum fuel production. More than half of the earth's landmass will have to covered with palm trees or Algae in order to meet up with production of renewable bio fuel 7) Crude oil is the only viable source of producing the world's lubricating oil, grease, synthetic oil and mineral oil ( used for producing transmission fluid, gear oil, hydraulic oil etc ), chemicals for explosive production, vaccine product, dye production, cooking gas, laboratory gas, fuel for industrial production etc These are just few reasons out of a whole lots more why crude oil can never be worthless in the next 50 years. 2 Likes |

ckenneths: Ckenneths thanks a million for the updates on Agbor. Somebody was giving us hope towards Christmas but here you are feeding us with cute pictures already. I had been to places but Agbor still has the greatest surprise to me giving the almost 30years I had looked at it as inconsequential village not knowing it's a bustling city. We really need to start internal tourism to actually discover what we have, how far we have gone and the enormous potentials in Igbo land. I even took a bike to Owa the home town of the governor Ifeanyichukwu Okowa (son of Owa) and other communities while my car was being fixed ,it was humbling .This is a chance the governor has to develope all the towns as one entity ,provide infrastructure and bring investors for employment opportunities as this opportunity may not come in this generation again. Thanks to op for creating this thread as this is impacting positively on Igbo renaissance. No time is better than now. Post colonial Igbo successes in all spheres are back after the war setback, not only that other Nigerians are observing, the world is taking note. Let's imbibe humility, hard work ,excellence, diligence, smartness and lookout for one another - the foremost Igbo philosophy - Onye aghana nwanne ya. 6 Likes 1 Share |

ezeagu:Oga i finally saw the youtube video you sent and the following were obvious: 1. The speaker is another European speaker pushing and magnifying Caucasian theories of white superiority. 2. He admitted that Africa has a much longer human evolution evidence yet turned around to claim human species originated from Asia. However,credible evidence and studies established Africa is the cradle of the human race and civilization. 3.I saw how he failed to mention the Moors who were the Black nobility who ruled much of the known world in pre-historic times. 4. Much of his hypothesis were based on findings and theories generated in the 18th century whereas Nri civilization dated to 6th century and even long before then. 5.The video you referred me to failed to address the issue under discussion.I expected to watch a frontal rebuttal of Igbo-Hebraic hypothesis. Nothing of such was mentioned which further cast a long shadow of doubt on your credibility for such studies and further discussion on this matter. 6. Again,studies establishing Igbo-Hebrew links were even championed by Jewish and European Scholars. Refer to Jeff Liberman's documentary "Re-Emerging:The Jews of Nigeria. North Eastern University Professor William F.S. Miles published a book titled "The Jews of Nigeria:An Afro-Judaic Odyssey. A Swiss Jewish studies Professor,Daniel Lis,published a book in 2013 titled "A book on Nigerian Jews". 7.CNN did a major story on the “Nigeria’s Igbo Jews:’Lost Tribe’ of Israel?” In that program, it quoted Prof. Daniel Lis. “Daniel Lis, from the Institute for Jewish Studies, University of Basel, Switzerland, is one of the foremost researchers on Jewish identification among the Igbo. He says there has been a clear continuity of Jewish identity among the Igbo. It’s not just something that happened yesterday. 8. Finally,all these wouldn’t make much meaning if the wooden stool in Nri, which is considered as the cradle of much of the Igbo stock does not exist, more so existing in the said location before Igbos made any contact with outsiders. The wooden stool is said to be made from a wood whose tree only exists or grows in the city of Jerusalem. This appears to be one of the most compelling pieces of evidence of Igbo Jewish heritage that ignited former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to send delegates to Igboland in search of “Eri” with the purpose of establishing this fact. The research in this regard is still on but to what extent can one think of Igbos having Jewish origin or the possibility of Jews springing out from Igbos still rages. Please note: i approach the above studies purely from an academic point of view all and a bid to make sense of both the forgotten and prevailing Igbo traditions,culture and mores which appear symbiotic with past and contemporary Jewish traditions. Again,this neither for polemics nor fruitless debate.Let us enrich the discussion the best way we can. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Good day sir.[/quote what's the difference between what you wrote up there and what I have been condemning? Basing Igbo heritage on similarities in one or two customs and bastardization of Igbo words to simulate whatever you see in Hebrew , what the hell? The Eri of Aguleri has nothing to do with Hebrew Eri, not even the same pronunciation. There is nothing like Igbo history, Igbo people existed differently in clans with their several origins, none of which is Hebrew in origin. You couldn't even refute any point I mentioned there but went on to tag me emotional. Who wouldn't be emotional seeing his history willed to some foreigners? And to think this spinning of Igbo history was initiated by colonials, yet, some people took it, is baffling. Which of your ancestors told you you originated from Hebrew? Is that what the chief priests of your village told you? So, you rather leave the practitioners of the real Igbo religion to chase spin stories. Kindly peruse these documents written by Igbos that are proud of their heritage , not folks like Remy and Maduewesi. There, you will see origin of different Igbo groups. https://igbocybershrine.com/2012/11/21/a-re-emerging-scam-a-review-of-the-jews-of-nigeria-part-1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/igbocybershrine.com/2013/01/23/a-re-emerging-scam-a-review-of-the-jews-of-nigeria-part-2-3/amp 1 Like |
