By Remy Ilona  REAL MIRACLE, NOT FAKE N-IG-ERIAN  'MIRACLE' (MAGIC) 50 years ago no one could have imagined that by 2010 highly sophisticated, educated, urbane Igbos would be saying their religion is Omenana. In the future when Igbo spirituality gets to the right level the entire nation will realize what happened. Real Resurrection happened. The dead came to life. When I was young it was the rustic, uneducated Igbo that was onye Omenana- even though Omenana is CHI UKWU'S greatest gift to Ndi Igbo. I can sit down with an Ikwere, or Etche or Idumuje or Agbor person today and as brothers perform the ritual of iwa & igo (to break & bless kolanut), and my republic is from Anambra. And none of us will say we are not related, because our Omenana is one.

By Francis Duru  The ONLY time an Igbo person can justify killing is when he does it in self defense. When that is the ONLY option left to him if he wants to remain alive. In the traditional Igbo communities, MURDER was extremely rare and NOT ever forgiven.  Why was it rare? It was so because ALL saw it as 'Aru'. Aru is something that DEFILES the land and calls for propitiation and CLEANSING! Usually our Levites from the Nri clan are invited to carry out the requisite CLEANSING rituals so that the community does NOT suffer the iniquity of an individual or a few persons.  What happens to the person who kills in error or unintentionally? When the murder is NOT premeditated, Igbos in those days would BANISH the guilty person from the community for SEVEN years.  What of the Igbo Soldier who goes to war and has to kill NOT because he is a MURDERER but because he has a duty to kill. The Igbo soldier would discharge his duty creditably BUT at the end of the war,...

By Remy Ilona  Implications of the Rabbinical Ruling that Igbo people are Israelites  Remy Ilona When a bet din (Jewish religious court) constituted by Obadayah Alliance, a Sephardic Jewish institution or organization, and presided over by Dr., Hakham, Rabbi Yehonatan Elazar de-Mota, ruled mid-January 2022 that the Igbo people are descendants of the biblical Israelites, many issues of monumental importance were raised, and in my view settled. I will discuss a few of the implications in this paper. Most people outside academia are not aware there is no firm agreement that the earliest Israelites existed, because in my view, their culture is nowhere to be found in the world presently, in the view of many of those who research and publish on them.  The existence of the Igbo people and their culture solves the problem I mentioned. Omenana is the proper name for the Igbo culture, and the descriptive of the culture of early Israelites. Early Israelite culture was de...

By Okechukwu Ononaeke  Everything about Omenala is science. Igbo food is science. Igbo farming is science. Palm-oil and associated industries is science. Akpụ is science. Akwete is science. Igbo fertility management is science. Igbo medicine is science. Igbo business is science. Igba afa is science. Igbo folklore is riddled with science. Mmonwu is science. Mmanya Ngwo/Nkwụ enu is science. You onye-Igbo who went to a 'university', open your mind to Omenala and see clearly.

By Remy Ilona  UKRAINE'S story is in some ways like the IGBO story, though there are great differences.  Similarity-Russia wants to swallow Ukraine. Nigeria/Britain swallowed Biafra, which contained parts of Igboland, and some Igbo people. And ultimately swallowed all Igbos, including those outside Biafra (Igbo Deltans), as its target was Igbos and not Biafrans. Similarity-Ukraine has cut itself off Russian religion (Russian Orthodox Christianity), and is shifting away by establishing Ukrainian religion (Ukrainian Orthodox Christianity). Omenana Defenders (OD) has stepped in and began to reconnect Igbos to Igbo religion. Difference-Ukraine chose democracy. Though Omenana Defenders has begun to call on Igbos to return to Igbo democracy, but because Omenana Defenders (OD) is fighting on too many fronts, it's yet to reach enough Igbos deeply on the question of democracy, so many Igbos are trapping themselves more in the culture of autocracy. Calling themselves prince,...

By Remy Ilona  Ethiopian Copts can build a Christianity successfully. Yoruba can do same & even set up Yoruba Islam. Igbos can do no such things. Why? Igbo religion was selected by CHI UKWU Himself. It's Omenana. Seed of Israel can only be completely at peace with CHI UKWU with Israel's religion/s: Omenana, Judaism, Karaism & Samaritanism. Mazi David ChiNedu II Nze CJ Oliobi Omali explained everything carefully. Copts, Ukrainians are not Israelites. Their Christianities are their own religions. Their Christianities are merely forms of their traditional religions. I will not have chosen this path: to explain one thing a million times. But I must as many want to learn and are tired of running fool's errand. PS: You'll doubt what I will say but you'll understand in the future. Igbos are Nigerians because Igbos are Christians and other things beside Omenana/Hebrew people in culture and religion. You are your culture and religion. Begin to watch me: a...

By Remy Ilona  My parents generation saw that zinc roofing would be better than akayi they rolled their sleeves. They went to work and by 1930 many Igbo homes had zinc roofs. Present generation has by its negligence allowed itself to become boxed into  reacting to; you are dot, with everyone rushing to Facebook and writing, we're dot nation. If Igbos are serious Igbos will stop fixating on Buhari, Nig-eria, & join Omenana Defenders in rebuilding the philosophical basis of the decayed Igbo society. As N-ig-eria wasn't built in a day so would rebuilding Igbo society never be a day's job but be sure that being a reactionary is working negatively.

By Roger Froikin SHABBAT SHALOM EVERYONE Parshat Ki Tisa  Exodus 30:11–34:35 Part I  (1). That everyone was responsible equally,  to donate 1/2 shekel of silver in value to the construction of the Sanctuary.   This was the first tax levied for a public purpose, and it was the first tax levied by Israelites on Israelites for a Israelite purpose,  in contrast to Egypt where our people paid Egyptians for Egyptian purposes.   And,  perhaps most importantly,  it was an equal tax,  the same amount for each person regardless of who they were,  regardless of status,  regardless of position.  All of our people were equal,  both under law, and in responsibility.  That alone was a revolutionary concept. (2). Two skilled men were put in charge of building the Sanctuary,  which was to be impressive,  of great beauty and color,  and to be 100% portable,  and of the highest quality of constr...

By Emeka Maduewesi  On the 14th day of January 2022 [12 Shebat 5782], the Jewish Rabbinate of the Obadya Alliance [Dayan Jacob de Oliveira, Dayan Eliezer Tabor, Dayan Yehonatan Elazar-DeMota, Rabbi Hananiah Cohen, and Rabbi Haim Ovadia] ruled that the Igbos of Nigeria are descendants of ancient Israelites. According to the Rabbinate, “the presence of Israelites along the Niger River had been known by Jewish authorities in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Suriname. Rabbinic letters addressed to the Igbos by Chief rabbis: Dr. Solomon Hershel Lewin, David Meldola, and the Gaon of Vilna (Elijan Zalman), support the idea that there was contact between European Jewish communities and Igbo Israelites. All of the correspondence from the aforementioned rabbinic authorities address the Igbos as “brethren of the Children of Israel.” Accordingly, there is no doubt of their origins, nor of their halakhic status as Israelites.”  According to the Rabbinate, whi...

By Remy Ilona  Igbo nation has accepted to become the reactionary people. Fortunately CHI UKWU pushed Omenana Defenders to get out of this hole. And Omenana Defenders will get other Igbos to stop reacting to actions by N-ig-eria and Nige-rians.  We should be taking the initiative. But no, what's happening is every week Igbos will like a rat in a lab tube respond to the Bunsen burner. I love simple examples. From what I saw from the funeral of the Jukun king, this less than 1m people are not pushed around as Igbos are, because they do their own things. Do what CHI UKWU told you through Omenana to do. Stop doing things opposed to what you think your enemies want. You make your enemies your gods. You are called dot. You begin to pretend you are anti-dot. And you think Buhari is not your god?

By Remy Ilona   Because you're miseducated you use deities/gods in reference to Igbos, even though IwuCHI UKWU is a surname in your obodo. If you are an adult & don't know that CHI UKWU is God, and is Igbo Deity, and that you learned about deities, gods, goddesses, and other such nonsense in regard to Igbo religion, because of your poor colonial miseducation, you deserve pity.

Igbophobia runs deeper than we think By Azuka Onwuka 15 February 2022 Last week’s verbal attack on the Igbo by a Roman Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. James Anelu, from Edo State, brought the issue of Igbophobia to the fore once more in Nigeria. As if on cue, the next day, a deputy commissioner of police, Mr Ibrahim Babazango, from Adamawa State, was reported to have threatened the life of one Igbo man, Mr. Vincent Umeh, for buying the property next to his residence in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State. For Rev. Fr. Anelu, the Priest-in-Charge of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Enu-Owa, Ikorodu, Lagos State, the trigger was that the choir was singing “too many” Igbo choruses. It was reported that he stopped the choir midway and outlawed the singing of Igbo songs in the church. That was not all. He went into the usual ethnic tirade of how Igbo people liked to dominate everywhere, citing the example of an Igbo person being the bishop of his home diocese (Benin Diocese), and other stereotypical ...

By Remy Ilona  If Osu were outcastes why do we have Osuchukwu, Osuji, Osueke (Osu Chinaeke)? Ndi Igbo simply go to ancient Israel to understand Omenana & know yourselves or.... continue to wallow in confusion... Do the jesters talking trash 🗑️, denying my Hebrew heritage know that Osu, or Oruma (Ohu Mmuo), as they are known in our Hebrew republics in the Nsukka senatorial zone, were auxiliary priests in the okwu Mmuo scattered all over holy ancient Israel?

By Remy Ilona  MANY WANT TO HIDE FROM CHI UKWU, OMENANA..BUT WE CANNOT.. B/c of the Eurocentric way of looking at things, Igbo, Ibo, Eebo, were not stressed to be what they are- Hebrew- but those who knew that Igbos are Israelites knew. Very serious and purposeful people. Even when unserious Igbo characters drunkenly began to claim that Igbos had been in Igboland for 350,000 years, & were older than Israel, Jews, whatever they mean no serious person can tell, these serious fellows didn't take the unserious & confused 'Igbos' serious. They knew that social media empowered every Tom, Dick and Harry, to call themselves researchers even if they had not done any research. They knew that Igbos (Hebrews) are Israelites. In the 2nd republic they called one of Nigeria's strongest non-Igbo politicians 'slave of Jews' because he joined the Igbo political party. Igbos, even if we want to jettison our Israelite identity which is key 🗝️ to our repositioni...

By Remy Ilona  Meaningful revolt against men who ban our songs isn't to continue giving money to his successor while you grow poorer, but to return to Omenana.  Igbos, you have a religion, return to it!  If tiny Scotland with population of 5m, and the Druze 800,000, who btw don't have their own sovereign state but are power brokers in Lebanon, Israel, can have their own religions, why can't you return to your own? If you are serious about returning to authentic Omenana, contact an Omenana Defenders Nz'rabbi.

By Remy Ilona  When we used Omenana economic model every Igbo was rich.  Today disconnected from Omenana, and under Christianity & Nigerian cultures all Igbos are wre-tched. In doubt? Igbo billionaires attend family meetings (nzuko umunna) with foreign armed goons to protect them from their brothers. Igbos go to foreign con-men & con-women, armed with Bibles they are barely literate in, to protect them from their own fathers and mothers (ancestors) and living brothers and sisters. Are we not wretched?
