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

By

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 religion, omenala to non- Igbo because he believes every one should be free to practice his own tribal religion. So obviously, the Igbo has no tool to dominate no one.
Back to commerce. Social scientists are agreed that commerce is not a tool of domination. Commerce is a tool for sharing and exchanging values and making life meaningful to humanity.
The Igbo engages in commerce to solve existential problems: eliminate poverty, provide for his family, train his children and provide for his old age. How that sums up as intention to dominate is up to Igbophobes to explain.

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.

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...
