IGBO AND NIGERIAN HISTORY- Things that you are not taught in the universities


By

If an Igbo is thinking that the Nigerian problem is exclusively behind the Igbo problem the Igbo needs to go to history. 

Igbos, our nation had begun to decline before the British converted us to Nigerians. They were able to do this because we had started to become watered down. If we were still in the form we were before some turncoat Igbos got us into decline by participating in the Trans Atlantic Slave trade, Britain would have conquered every inch of the territory that became Nigeria without stepping into Igboland. But we strayed so what happened was that Britain conquered, marched and counter marched through every inch of Igboland, while it formed alliances with some of the other peoples that it turned into and later rewarded with Nigeria. When people talk about colonialism they fail to note that all the colonized groups were not treated identically.

Nigeria is only a complication of an already existing problem. 

I'm looking at history of this nature because the decline can only continue unless Igbos know what is behind it, and take corrective action. 

Every African ethnic group (nation) in the line of the trade participated in human trafficking during the TAST, I must state, and also declare that every Igbo could and should have stayed away from that crime of crimes. Every person was craving for honors from Nigeria. And what did Chinua Achebe do? He flung the honor back into Obasanjo's oily face.

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...
