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

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 given to your ancestors that slavery robbed us of. The Hebrew Bible is the instructions and history of our ancestors. Omenana is our home. As Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz,  "THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME".

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...
