THE IGBO AND LAND: LIKE NO OTHER

BY REMY ILONA
Atiku Abubakar by OMENANA, my (Igbo) religion & culture you have to belong to an umunna (Igbo family) to be indigenous to Igboland.  
In the same vein I and no Igbo can ever regard your Adamawa State as his/her state of origin. In our (Igbo) religion/culture, we have an immutable belief that we have a special relationship with our land. We believe that an authentic burial of an Igbo is the one in Igboland. 

Your Adamawa is many times bigger than any Igbo state, but as you can see no single Igbo, even a drunk one claims that he's indigenous to Adamawa. When we are there we see ourselves as strangers, who no matter the length of our stay in your state and anywhere else for that matter, must return home, either in life or after death.

You respect your religion/culture sir. Please respect mine!

    We are not the same people. At least religion and culture have made us different. The deceit is all over your lips.

IN OMENANA, IT IS ODOZIAKU, NOT ORIAKU

By Remy Ilona If you heard ori-aku( enjoyer of wealth), I hope you also heard odozi-aku( protector/ builder of wealth). Our culture Omenana was far too advanced to make our women ' housewives', i.e., just ori-aku, that irresponsible men can abuse, and starve of money. If you didn't hear about odozi-aku you heard about 'nwanyi Nnewi', i.e, the bike, that our women used to ride to Nkwo Nnewi, to do their businesses. If ori-aku isn't just a jocular title, it's of foreign origins. I don't know when an Igbo woman willingly chose to be idle. Men, our fathers encouraged our mothers to grow rich. Let's emulate them!

How Igbo attitude to Igbo religion, Omenala debunks the lie of Igbo domination.

Image
By Okechukwu Ononaeke One lie perpetrated by Igbophobes against the Igbo over the years is that the Igbo wants to dominate every other person. This fear of Igbo domination is largely responsible for Igbo genocides over the last century including the well celebrated 1967-1970 Igbo genocide that led to the death of 3-5million Igbo, 25%of the Igbo population. I in 4 Igbo lost their lives in the 1967-1970 Igbo genocide. This 1967-1970 Igbo genocide occured despite the fact that the Igbo was largely responsible for Nigeria's 'independence'. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igbo was the father of Nigerian 'independence'.  Any thing to the contrary of Nnamdi Azikiwe and his fellow Igbo being the vanguard of Nigerian 'independence' is revisionism and IGBO NEWS has no time for revisionism. Back to our story: Does the Igbo truly seek to dominate his fellow? Let's take a look at how those who want to dominate do it and then answer the question ourselves. The onl...
