Nollywood: How Igbo can change the Omenana narrative.

Image
By Remy Ilona Nollywood's annual produce is $650m, while the 2nd biggest film industry in Africa, South Africa's is $35m, according to CNN or another Western media. And as we know, Igbos dominate Nollywood. So let's say that Igbos produce/earn $500m. What do you make of this? Nothing, nobody, except Igbos is holding Igbos down.  BTW, the output would have been $500 billion if Igbos are doing Omenana, and will be $5million in the next 20 years, if many more Igbos don't return to true Omenana, because like the buying and selling which is powered by Omenana-igba odibo, the creativity is embedded in Igbo sense, and the bonds of brotherhood forged by umu nna. I repeat: we Igbos are holding ourselves down. When we want we'll reconnect to CHI UKWU through Omenana, and stop bleating that we are marginalized! We'd like to have the likes of Zack Orji in Omenana Defenders, where they can be helped to get it better.

How Igbo endanger Igbo lives by discussing non- Igbo issues.

Image
By Remy Ilona I want to believe that Igbos on Facebook comprise many educated Igbos. Think about what I will say hereafter: much Igbo energy is thrown into things like Nigeria, this/that ethnicity does this/that: things that will not solve the Igbo Problem. Fortunately Nigeria & other ethnicities still don't have the power yet to take all decisions for Igbos, in Nigeria, UK, US, France, Israel, Ghana, etc. But we are getting to that. We are convincing ourselves that they can stop us from improving our conditions. Unwittingly handing them power they don't have. And we might have scored goals against ourselves. Otherwise why do we not have anything even in free societies? To demonstrate that we still have it, I want the Igbo community in the UK to set up an Igbo University which will do everything Nigeria will not allow Igbos in Nigeria to do there. Folks, in the final analysis, we must look inwards. The solutions lie in us.

How Igbo everywhere can get freedom

Image
By Kevin olauda Jones FREEDOM I'm not one for being politically correct so I'll get right to it. When people are oppressed and abused  it is the natural inclination to fight back. This is a built in reaction to pain and suffering. We do everything in our power to alleviate the burden of whatever is causing us to suffer. The thing we don't do is take ownership for the condition we are in. For all Israelites,Hebrews, Igbos,  Jews, African American and Caribbeans of Igbo heritage etc., we are in the situation we are in because we have broken the covenant with the Creator. Because we are oppressed everywhere we go, are instincts are to protect ourselves. This is natural but be clear fighting back is not a guarantee of success. Even winning small battles is not necessarily indicative of who wins the war. We fight and we keep fighting, asking why are we going through this. We know the answer yet refuse to return to the Creator CHI UKWU, or however you render his name ...

Omenana is the home of the Igbo. Let's go back home!

Image
By Kevin Olauda Jones AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH ATTENDEES                      MY OBSERVATIONS In the Christian churches in the US, I noticed a trend. When people are struggling financially, they stop going to church. They feel uncomfortable during "Tithe and Offering" time, and they don't want to feel pressured to give what they can't afford. So they stay at home until their financial situation is better, then they return because they are able to give something. Now, if you had to leave the church to get your finances in order, shouldn't that have been a clue you are in the wrong place? You ask for help, and they say we don't have it, because we just purchased new chandeliers, and an organ. Then they drive away in their nice cars, and you go home to ask family for money to prevent eviction. There is a problem that African Americans are refusing to see. If you are of Igbo ancestry, you need to return to Omenana that was gi...

How Omenana will transform Igbophobia

Image
By Remy Ilona Our (Igbo) dispersion (scattering), a great tragedy, will be converted to a source of strength. Eritrea, Djibouti, Paraguay! I learned recently there are Igbos there. Wherever Igbos are & want to be revived by reconnecting to Omenana, Omenana Defenders will be with them. When we are Omenana compliant everyone will love, or live in dread of us. In parts of Nigeria Igbos are despised today, 2021, in 1965 & before they were called akawo (accountant). Only Europeans were accountants then. The natives had the same respect they had for Europeans for Igbos-because we didn't despise Omenana then. We weren't ashamed of being addressed as ndi ogo Mmuo in those years.

Evidence continues to show that kingship was invented in Igbo land

Image
By Remy Ilona EVIDENCE, FACTS, CONTINUE TO MOUNT AGAINST THE DANGEROUS PEOPLE DAMAGING IGBO HISTORY & FUTURE WITH INVENTIONS OF 'KINGSHIP'- READ CAREFULLY- Ohaffia "The central pillar of a ruined Obu House" n.d. Photographer Gwilliam Iwan Jones Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge UK N.73855.GIJ "Context: Jones discusses the history and concept of the meeting houses. He writes, “Before the colonial period few communities in the Eastern Region had any public buildings. They had their meeting-places, which in the forest zone were clearings under a few large forest trees, and in some of the savannah areas had trees specially planted for this purpose. In some groups the head of a compound, in addition to his own house, had a shed or low-walled building called Obu amongst the Ibo, where he could entertain his friends and where the men and women of the compound could sit and engage in domestic task our of the sun and the rain. When it was n...

Nz'rabbi Ubah: Over 50 Ozos to attend my obi's Passover this year.

Image
By Francis Duru He is Nz'Rabbi Ephraim 'Hagadol' Ubah. The leader of one of our Orthodox synagogues in the Owerri area of my Home State. A deeply knowledgeable man. After the usual kolanut ritual and For nearly 2 hours he held those present spell bound with his exposition on Omenala and the Hebrew Bible.  Then we discussed the acute scarcity of Sefer Torah, Siddurim(Prayer books), Mahzor (Prayer books for the High holidays) etc. Then we discussed the fort coming PASSOVER feast. He has done a lot and achieved great success in getting ndi Nze na Ozo to see they are an Israelite institution. He told me he has at least 50 of them that would observe Passover this year. I seized the opportunity to donate some of Remy Ilona 's books to the congregations library. Nz'Rabbi Ubah is over 70 years old but remains an aggressive reader.

Nz'rabbi Ubah complains of how the Igbo is going down by violating Omenala

Image
By Francis Duru After he welcomed me and directed me to the place to wash my hands, he welcomed me into his Obi. He blessed and broke the kolanuts after saying hair raising prayers in Igbo. Then we ate the Kolanuts and shared wine. He spoke a lot. He talked about Igbo marriage customs, he talked about Igbos that undertook the Nazirite vow. He talked about Igbo farm practises like 'nkpa ji', he talked about igbos who won't eat if they didn't know what items were contained in the food. He talked about the Laws of Nidal Then he talked about burials and mourning the dead among the igbo. Among others he said the following: "Doctor can you imagine that NOW, igbos embalm the dead they should bury immediately and after they bury eventually they are asked by someone to come and do 'Thanksgiving' in a Church. Who are they thanking? For what? What our ancestors did was to MOURN the dead not CELEBRATE as they do now or GIVE THANKS. Our burials And mourning ...

How Omenana is the only way to secure Igbo land.

Image
By Remy Ilona CHI UKWU gave us Igboland as a place of refuge, because as All Knowing He knew there would be a time many things: narratives, color, etc., would not be in our favor. When we'll be without friends we'll at least be safe in our refuge. But the bequest came with conditions. We must do the commandments in the land. Land is ana in Igbo language. Ome na ana is the term for religion and culture in Igbo. It means commandments you must keep in ana (land). If we keep the commandments CHI UKWU said (Deuteronomy 6:1) we'll be safe and happy in our refuge. Are we safe and happy in our ana today? Do we keep the commandments in our ana today? Hopefully we'll not be thrown out of the 2nd refuge as we were out of the 1st- the land of Israel. N:B: if you are Igbo and you are hostile to Igbos Israelite history and culture you are a major part of the Igbo problem. You are stopping the people of God from knowing the source of their problems! I was woken up by a dis...

How the book of Leviticus shows there is no solution to the Igbo problem outside of Omenana.

Image
By Kevin Jones For all Igbos that believe there is an answer outside if returning to Omenana.....?  I offer you this 👇🏿. Don't be decived by your own abilities. Let GOD be true and Every man a liar.                                   Leviticus ch. 26:14-46 (14)The Lord said, “If you will not obey my commands, you will be punished. (15)If you refuse to obey my laws and commands and break the covenant I have made with you, (16) I will punish you. I will bring disaster on you—incurable diseases and fevers that will make you blind and cause your life to waste away. You will plant your crops, but it will do you no good, because your enemies will conquer you and eat what you have grown. (17) I will turn against you, so that you will be defeated, and those who hate you will rule over you; you will be so terrified that you will run when no one is chasing you. (18) “If even after all of th...

HOW DISDAIN FOR OMENANA KILLED GIANT IGBO BUSINESSES

Image
BY  REMY ILONA Igbo parents went through the Igbo apprenticeship school (igba odibo) & built the giant business concerns we met & that have mostly gone into history. The founders wanted their children to succeed them. To train them they didn't send them to the schools they themselves went-they didn't invite them to work in the family businesses during their vacations, but sent them to the best business schools in the world. Expectedly perhaps they looked down on the ladders they used to climb up, likely because the method was traditional. You know that many of us look down on things Igbo, i.e, Igbotic things. You cannot despise Omenana and understand igba odibo. After handover as people must grow old and die, the inevitable happened: the businesses collapsed as soon as the sons took over. They didn't pass through any of the steps their forebears did. Igbo businesspeople the best business schools for your children are the ones you yourselves attended. The...

How Omenana would have saved Igbo mega businesses.

Image
By Remy Ilona HISTORY OF THOSE GIANT IGBO BUSINESSES I grew up to see many giant Igbo enterprises which were family owned. Within 2/3 decades the breweries, trading, transport, recording, construction,  manufacturing companies, airlines, shipping lines, etc were dead. They didn't go offshore. Many Indians who became captains of industry in Nigeria began in Uganda: were driven away by Idi Amin. They came to Nigeria and rebuilt. But the moneyed class of the Igbos have no such renewal story.  Unless you look carefully you will say these concerns which included giant law firms and hospitals failed because Nigeria is collapsing gradually, and businesses don't thrive in it again, but there's another story. The children of the founders were not brought up to see the world as their parents did. Many are in the US and the UK today working day jobs. Had the batons been transferred to people who were capable there'd be giant Igbo concerns in China, the US, Ethiopia, Is...

Kingship: Aspiring to be like Nigerians will ruin Igbo

Image
By Remy Ilona Igbos are aspiring to be like Nigerians: to invent kingdoms from the thin air & to be igwe, eze Igbo, & other such ridiculous things because most even when they live outside Nigeria haven't thought about the world beyond Nigeria & more importantly most have been cut off from Omenana. An Igbo who has studied, understands what Omenana is can only dream of & work towards returning Igbo nation and Igboland back to the Paradise it was: no police, army, prisons, no kings, upper or lower classes, & no destitutes and prostitutes. In doubt that the above existed? Think about Igboland when you were growing up if you are above 30 years, & you want to verify that you had no destitutes and prostitutes until contact with Europeans, read Hebrew Igbo Republics, Basden and The Woman's Mysteries. Omenana Defenders has come to defend Igbos with truth.

How Igbo children born outside Igbo land can be Igbo

Image
By Remy Ilona I know we have not thought about what becomes of Igbo children who were born by Igbo parents in Senegal, Mauretania, Gambia, Zambia, Cape Verde, Seychelles, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bhutan, etc.  Igbos who went to these places like those who came to America, Canada, UK, etc, thought they would return home after 5 years and start a business. Because they thought this way no kind of cultural institutions were built-no museums, libraries, etc-even more crucially the expatriated Igbos identified more as Christian than as Igbo, so they threw billions of $ into building of Christian rather than Igbo institutions. Many years after many of the expatriated are realizing that they and their foreign born children may not return home. Many of the children are Igbos only by blood. They know nothing about home. No Igbo institutions where the children would learn about Igbo history and culture. Don't know a word of Igbo, & to complicate matters the country Igboland was forcefully ...

How culture shapes every thing including eliminating needless debates

Image
By Remy Ilona I shared an apartment with an Indian couple. Both are accomplished. I never met the man in the kitchen. When a people live without a culture everything becomes a subject of debate. My grandmother wasn't a housewife. Like Nnaa she was a successful farmer, but I know she never agitated or thought that Nnaa should share her kitchen just as he never dreamed that Nne should climb any of his Palm 🌴 trees.  Go back to your culture and face life

Why Igbo must reject Kingships

Image
By Remy Ilona I am from a centuries old obi, and thus stand to 'gain' if Igbos descend further into darkness by having kings. Igbos will call me Prince Remy Chiukwukaodinaka Ilona if this decline continues because Obi Egbema has history that is not less lustrous than any in the Igbo society. Great Grandfather Udoji was Eze Anya Ezughu (wherever you stood and looked you couldn't see the ends of our lands), yet I am leading the effort to restructure the Igbo mind, to heal it so that it would reject assimilated and imported backwardness (monarchy), i.e, traditional ruler, branding of common humans igwe, eze igbo, and other such abominations. We have only one IGWE. His name is CHI UKWU. Every Igbo except criminals and turn coats are His children, servants. Why am I leading the effort? There cannot be 2 kings in one kingdom. If a king rises in Igbo society high treason against CHI UKWU has occurred, and that treason has been occurring i evidenced by the sorry state o...

THE IGBO, KINGS AND MONARCHY

Image
By Ike Chi Ukwu Eluigwe Much debate has raged over the Igbo having kings or not having kings prior to British imposition. A number of people reel out succession of kings of their communities; while others refute such claims. To have had a king is to have practiced monarchy as a system of government. Today, there is what you call constitutional or symbolic monarchy; but that is not what monarchy was in the past. The effort of peoples in the modern world to bridle the powers of monarchs led to constitutional monarchies. These monarchs were rid of their powers and were simply maintained as national symbols akin to the national flag or national anthem; they became, like in Britain, tourist attractions generating income and not intrusive to governance. So, constitutional monarchy being a modern day construct, the Igbo who say their communities practiced monarchy cannot say it was a constitutional monarchy. The concept of statehood, as it is today, was not present with the Igbo o...

Why Igbo land is not small

Image
By Remy Ilona Even "educated" Igbos, some consultants with the World Bank & different countries, are repeating the heresy that Igboland-16,000 square miles, with heavy rainfall 9 months of the year is small. If Igbos begin to manage land properly even today, Igboland will contain 500 million Igbos & friendly non Igbos who may wish to live with Igbos. These disabling tropes are planted by enemies of Igbos and are lapped up by Igbos as 'education'- Education that has zero Omenana content. Going through books written in the 1800s when there were less than 3m Igbos you find this heresy that Igbos have very little land-penned by people who wanted the people dispersed. Tragic, because you find even people who lead Igbo states and those who aspire knowing so little about Igbos, Igboland and the world.

Only Omenana will make Igbo out of you

Image
By Remy Ilona 12m of our people are in Northern Nigeria. Exposed to zero cultural education. Without connecting them to the new obi, where they'll be taught that it is Omenana that the younger MUST respect his elder, get up from seats for the older to sit if chairs are few, and that the duty of the 1st son (di okpara) includes ensuring that his siblings, including the married sisters, even the children of these 12m will not be Igbos. Today most di okpara think that di okpara's 'job' is to get 90% of family property. Fortunately my father's di okpara is decent. My hand quakes as I write this. What about the millions in Lagos, Abuja, Mauretania, Gambia, Mali, the US, Canada, UK, etc? My observation: African Americans and Caribbeans who have rediscovered their Igbo roots know Omenana more than most Igbos who were not disconnected.

How a systematic return to CHI UKWU and his omenana is the only solution to the ' Igbo problem'.

Image
By Remy Ilona There's no solution to 'the Igbo Problem' outside a systematic return to CHI UKWU & Omenana. I spoke to an Igbo who's rated one of the world's best economists for nearly 2 hours recently. Like myself he recognized that the unrestrained and runaway Igbo buying of lands and investments in non Igbo Nigeria is problematic, but unlike myself who is always listening to the Hebrew prophets who were Igbo prophets he thought it's a problem that could be managed, by tweaking the Constitution of Nigeria, and didn't see it, as well as Igbo installation of eze igbo in lands they were murdered en masse as a tragedy in the making. He couldn't see clearly because he doesn't read Torah. That's why he has forgotten that his country people who wanted to murder all Igbos btw 1966-70 were more civilized than those he meets today. As far as he knows nations are works in progress. I came away from the talk with my conviction that the Igbo ...

How mutuality should drive alliance between Omenana and Judaism.

Image
By Kevin Olaudah Jones It appears that their may be a small hand full of Igbos that get fearful when Judaism is said to be a separate religion from Omenana. This is because they follow some tenants of Judaism they have not studied so they do not understand. One example of lack of understanding is when they write (G-d) in their statements. Why do I say this? In Judaism the Creator's name is never mentioned. Instead Hashem, Adoni, etc. Is used. G-d is also a substitute for using the name. Some Igbos will write G-d and CHI UKWU in their writings and often in the same sentence. This is not in alignment with the rabbinic prescription. So there is an ignorance regarding Judaism that is clearly not understood. To my point. It doesn't bother me when people become uneasy or get offended. What bothers me is when things are not true. If I'm asked, I will do a side by side comparison of Judaism, the Hebrew Bible, and Omenana so as to bring complete clarity. This is not an a...

The month of our freedom from the Egyptian slavery.  May ala igbo and Yisrael and ALL real lovers of PEACE know freedom and happiness. And as we make out PASSOVER unleavened BREAD, May our hand made bread bring us immeasurable BLESSINGS!  And may it be according to the order of Pharaoh to the Later day 'Egyptians' who like the Pharaoh of Egypt of old STUBBORNLY refuse to LET our people go. Amen!!!!!!!!

Why Nollywood did not tell the Igbo story

Image
By Remy Ilona Nollywood, the behemoth Igbos power has failed Igbos so far. Has not told authentic Igbo stories like: Igbos were the first people to run a real democracy. 1st to protect women & give them (umu okpu) real voice in running society. Showed up idolatry as false. Igbos routinely burned 'gods' in Omenana (arusi wakaria anya agwa ya osisi eji pi ya). Survived genocide. Counting. What Igbo Nollywood has done is import foreign stories, usually about kings, and lie that they are about Igbos, because the makers of the films are very lazy. They don't read anything about Igbos and living mainly in Lagos they know nothing about Igboland. However, the real Igbo story is coming. Wait for it.

IGBO WELCOME NEW MOON/ NEW MONTH AND NEW YEAR

Image
By Fortune Anaele The Igbo today in Ala Igbo and all over the world welcomed the new moon and new month. Igbo gathered in their numbers in their obis( CHI UKWU's sanctuaries) this evening to welcome the new moon and the new month of Nissan. The occasion served also as the occasion to welcome the new Igbo year.  They used the occasion to thank CHI UKWU for his favor in the previous month and asked him to continue to favor the Igbo and their families in the new month and the new year. They also sought CHI UKWU's favor in solving all existential problems confronting the Igbo and Ala Igbo. The new moon observance is a monthly ritual by all Igbo to dedicate all Igbo activities to CHI UKWU and seek his favor for the Igbo and Ala Igbo.

IGBO POLYGAMY IS NOT THE SAME AS POLYGAMY

Image
By Okechukwu Ononaeke As the Igbo re-mainstreams Igbo polygamy for the Igbo and Ala Igbo only, it is important to make it clear to all Igbo that Igbo polygamy is not and will never be the same as polygamy.  Polygamy is about sharing wealth while Igbo polygamy is essentially about wealth creation by all stakeholders in the Igbo polygamy family. Thus, all things being equal, an Igbo polygamy family is expected to be wealthier than an Igbo monogamy family. In the Igbo past, only the Igbo poor were monogamous. The Igbo rich families were all polygamous. We are headed back exactly to that Igbo past as the Igbo future. Igbo polygamy is fully supported and endorsed by the Igbo religion, Omenala. It also comes complete with a template made available only to all male omenala adherents who are Igbo polygamists.  The Igbo polygamy template ensures that the Igbo polygamy marriage is anchored on love, justice, equity, unity and peace for all stakeholders. The Igbo polygamy temp...

Igbo polygamy to liberalise the Igbo husband market for unmarried ( marriage- seeking) mature Igbo women

Image
By IGBO NEWS Board of Economists The return of Igbo polygamy will liberalise the Igbo husband market for marriage seeking mature Igbo women. Mature Igbo women are Igbo women who are over 35 years and are not yet married but seek to be married. These ones are mature Igbo single women. Mature Igbo women also include divorcees, widows or  single parents. Such categories of women are usually short changed in the outgoing strict compulsory Igbo monogamous marriage system. They usually find it difficult to get suitable Igbo spouses for marriage. The consequence is that most of them are frustrated to stay single or serve as hidden  mistresses or concubines of Igbo men. Such relationships are illicit and do not allow the women to function fully as members of otu umunwanyi of the Igbo society which short-changes the Igbo society. Their children if they have any are also brought up with out the presence of an Igbo father which sub-optimises the Igbo child training of the chi...

WHY THE IGBO IS RE-MAINSTREAMING IGBO POLYGAMY

Image
By IGBO NEWS TEAM The Igbo society driven by Omenala has the highest standards on sex: sex must be only within married couples. Sex by a woman or man outside marr iage is a sin punishable by CHI UKWU on his subjects. CHI UKWU is not a G-d of 'grace'. He punishes Igbo for their sins upto the fourth generation and more! Omenala  adherents male and female must live holy lives. CHI UKWU's law is that every Igbo woman of matured age must be in marriage and not in her father's house after maturity. The situation is that a disproportionate Percentage of Igbo women are with out husbands and will never find husbands. The statistics available to the omenala restoration movement is that for every Igbo man there are six Igbo women seeking a husband. Some Igbo families have four daughters over 40yrs with no hope of ever getting husbands. The Igbo was involved in a genocide that depleted our males. Migration of mainly Igbo males to all over the world further depleted the ...

About Pastor Reno, Kings, Israel and the Igbo

By Francis Duru Pastor Reno Omokri in his last trip into igbo affairs rightly NOTED that igbos traditionally had an aversion for Kings and then wanted to use that to separate Igbos from Israelites of the Bible who apparently loved Monarchs. The story of King Ahab and Naboth in 1Kibgs 21:1-19 is very instructive. Lets see: 1 Kings 21:2 "And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying: 'Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.'" 1 Kings 21:3 "And Naboth said to Ahab: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.'" Tanakh Bible https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tanakh.bible Any Igbo person reading this will immediately identify with Naboth. An Igbo man inherits land and holds it in trust for ALL the men that would come into his lineage ...

HOW WHAT THE IGBO DO DEBUNKS THE LIE OF IGBO INTENTION TO DOMINATE

Image
By  Okechukwu Ononaeke One major lie against the Igbo by Igbophobes is that the Igbo intends to dominate every other person. This fear of Igbo domination is responsible for Igbo genocides including the well celebrated 1967-1970 Igbo genocide. The Igbo has never been interested in dominating any one. Nothing shows clearly that the Igbo is not interested in domination than in what the Igbo do: The Igbo are mostly engaged in commerce, trading. How? Commerce is not a tool of domination.  What are the tools of domination? Social and political scientists have extensively studied domination and are clear about the tools of domination: politics, military ( actually an extension of politics) and religion. Of all three, the most sustainable tool for domination is religion. The Igbo has no  military prowess, his political structures have been confiscated since colonialism by 'white' Britain and its potentates. As for religion, the Igbo never seeks to proselytize his reli...

HOW IGBO KEEP THE IGBO HOLY DAY, SATURDAY, HOLY

Image
It is no longer news that the Igbo have returned to keeping the Igbo holy day, Saturday, holy. This is in keeping with the tradition of all Israelites.  All Israelites observe Saturday as their holy day. Non- Israelites who are not Arabs or arabized observe Sunday as their holy day. Arabs and the arabized observe Friday as their holy day. The Igbo holy day is also known as Sabbath. The question is: How do the Igbo keep Saturday( Sabbath) holy. Igbo keep Saturday holy by dedicating the whole day to the worship of CHI UKWU. They stay in the obi( CHI UKWU's sanctuary) to worship CHI UKWU and study the laws, ordinances, commandments and statutes of CHI UKWU. They also study Igbo cosmology in the obi. The Igbo stay away from all social activities: weddings, burials and other social engagements. The Igbo is also expected to close his business and stay away from work during the Sabbath.

IGBO CELEBRATE NEW MOON/ NEW YEAR ON 13th March- 14th March, 2021

Image
The Igbo will be observing ( celebrating) the new moon this week specifically, 13th March-14th March 2021. This month's new moon festival also falls at the same time with the Igbo new year which commences this new month.  Igbo will use the occasion to welcome the new moon, new month and new year and also thank CHI UKWU for protecting the Igbo and providing for the Igbo.  They will also use the occasion to implore on CHI UKWU to continue to protect and provide for the Igbo. The Igbo will continue to recognize the sovereignty of CHI UKWU in Ala Igbo and all over the world.

How Igbo attitude to land debunks the lie about Igbo domination.

Image
By Okechukwu Ononaeke One lie that Igbophobes have perpetrated over the years is that the Igbo wants to dominate every one including in lands that are foreign to the Igbo. This fear of Igbo domination has been the main driving force of Igbo genocides, the most celebrated of which was the 1967-1970 genocide in which the Igbo lost 3-5 million people (about 25%of the Igbo population). The Igbo has never been interested in dominating anyone. Rather it is those who accuse Igbo of wanting to dominate that are actually bent on confiscating Igbo land as their own. We shall come to this later. No where does the Igbo clearly show that it is contented with the little CHI UKWU has given to it than in the Igbo attitude to land. What is the Igbo attitude to land and how does it belie the allegation of Igbo domination by Igbophobes? The Igbo attitude to land is that the little portion of land given to it by CHI UKWU ( the area in green) is the only land that truly belongs to it. This sma...

Conversations between an Igbo couple and an Igbo umunna committee that shows the invalidity of Igbo marriage outside Ala Igbo.

By Okechukwu Ononaeke Nze Anichebe: Nze Ofoegbu, the umunna sent us here to see you and find out somethings based on what we are hearing. I am here with Nze Achebe. We are just a fact finding committee. What ever you tell us, we report to the umunna. Nze Ofoegbu: Nze Anichebe,  your visit is very good and welcome. Nwunye m, odoziaku di ya, Nnenna. Nze Anichebe is here with Nze Achebe. Lolo Nnenna: Ndi di m, Nnoo nu o. Unu a bia la( Welcome). Nze Ofoegbu: let me bring kola so that we can bless it and dedicate our discussions to CHI UKWU. Nze Anichebe: Please leave kola nut for now. This visit is not about kola. Next time, we will participate in your kola nut. Nze Ofoegbu: okay, if you say so. Nze Anichebe: Yes, the umunna sent us to you to hear your own side of the story before taking decisions on what to do. Is it true that you gave your daughter, Nneka out in marriage in Lagos, where you live? Nze Ofoegbu: Who could be spreading such a malicious rumor? Whom did I offen...

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...

An Igbo American's advice to fellow Igbo: Return to Omenana

Image
By Kevin Jones  AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH ATTENDEES                      MY OBSERVATIONS In the Christian churches in the US, I noticed a trend. When people are struggling financially, they stop going to church. They feel uncomfortable during "Tithe and Offering" time, and they don't want to feel pressured to give what they can't afford. So they stay at home until their financial situation is better, then they return because they are able to give something. Now, if you had to leave the church to get your finances in order, shouldn't that have been a clue you are in the wrong place? You ask for help, and they say we don't have it, because we just purchased new chandeliers, and an organ. Then they drive away in their nice cars, and you go home to ask family for money to prevent eviction. There is a problem that African Americans are refusing to see. If you are of Igbo ancestry, you need to return to Omenana that was giv...

All templates for Igbo return to Omenala and transformation of Ala Igbo to a first world are from the Igbo past.

As the omenala restoration movement upscales the release of templates for Igbo return to Omenala and the transformation of Ala Igbo to a first world in a generation, the movement has said that all the templates being released are from the Igbo past, from our illustrious  Igbo ancestors and ancestresses. The movement said that the templates are not products of theorisations, with all the risks that go with theory. All the templates are Igbo communities driven.

First thing...
