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

By

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.

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...
