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

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.

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...
