OMENALA AND THE IGBO SOCIETY

By
Chioma Onyeoziri
When a society begins to place hierarchy, Social strata and class amongst its members, inequality sets in. I mean when some members of the society begins to see themselves as upper class and their kindred as of a lower status. This is why Chiukwu frowns at the idea of Kingship, No Israelite is above or king over his brother. Kingship was alien to Israel's society until latter times as a result of their rebellion they wanted to assimilate, they wanted to be like their neighbours. The former Igbo society i mean the precolonial one was purely torah driven she had a strong disdain for kingship this is even reflected in the names we bear Eze bu iro(kingship is enmity) There is even a general Igbo slogan Igbo ewegi Eze (Igbo's do not have kings). Wow Igbo's are Israel, the evidence are so glaring. I'm marveled at the pictures unfolding. An ideal society is an egalitarian one void of social distinctions with equity and justice. Chiukwu is disgusted with the idea Social class we are all equal, we are his children and none is more important than the other. Equity, Justice and fairness is Chiukwus motto. Igbos are brothers and sisters with one father and one King Chiukwu.

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...
