The Igbo is re-instituting Ilo mmuo ( peace offering) among the Igbo to entrench and deepen unity among the Igbo says Nz'rabbi Remy Ilona, chief Nz'rabbi of Igbo house of Israel obi and worldwide
spiritual leader of the omenana restoration movement.
He made this remark in a speech delivered on his behalf by Nz'rabbi Okechukwu Ononaeke, chief Nz'rabbi of Lagos, during the Ilo mmuo (peace offering) feast organized by the Lagos Igbo community.
Nz'rabbi Remy Ilona pointed out that our illustrious Igbo ancestors ( ancestresses) used the peace offering to enhance unity among the Igbo. Every Igbo family and umunna before the onset of current idolatry among the Igbo hosted the Ilo mmuo feast twice a year to felicitate, share gifts, network, settle family rifts, solve Igbo existential problems and entrench Igbo unity. The result was that every Igbo family was united. 
Today however, Igbo idolatry has thought Igbo not to do Ilo mmuo feasts again. The result is that the Igbo have never been as disunited as it is today. Nz'rabbi Remy Ilona urged Igbo to go back and recommence the regular hosting of the Ilo mmuo feasts again among the Igbo so as to seek the face of CHI UKWU and to gladden the hearts of our illustrious ancestors who are the link of the Igbo to CHI UKWU.
Nz'rabbi Remy Ilona urged the participants at the feast not to despair over the current situation of the Igbo. He reminded them that the only solution to the Igbo problem is to get religion right by Igbo return to CHI UKWU via his omenana. He said once Igbo do this, every other thing for the Igbo will fall in place.
He commended the Igbo community in Lagos for successfully organizing the event and urged Igbo communities( umunna, obi and Igbo craft associations) every where to replicate and regularise the feasts( twice a year). 
Finally, Nz'rabbi Remy Ilona urged all Igbo communities (umunna, obi and Igbo craft associations) to look out for the Igbo weak( the poor and the very elderly) among them, strengthen and empower them to become net contributors to the Igbo Commonwealth.

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...
