Women Rights: How Omenana can save humanity

By
Remy Ilona
Humanity needs a new way of thinking & doing things. My thoughts as I watched humanity completely helpless as disaster unfolds.

If so many years after the enlightenment we are lamenting that we weep for the women in ... for the looming brutal deprivation of rights they were granted 20 years ago, are we not supposed to ask- were women supposed to have less rights than men, at any time, in the first place? As far as I know, nature doesn't have a design for women to have less rights than men, and in Omenana my culture and religion, men and women are partners, not competitors. Some say women are protected in Omenana. And I say men are too.

Where and how did we get things so wrong?

We need to get to the root of things to find better solutions.

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.

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...
