mimifonwon: Well am just telling you that we are not Igbo and i have never heard any of my relatives that call themselves Igbo either, we're Nsukka and our culture, language and belief system is totally different from Igbos. Anyway when i come back to Naija, i will ask my kinsmen the origin of Nsukka people. |

[quote author=odumchi]The next few pictures will begin to deal with the masculine societies of the Igbos. The first picture is of the "ikperikpe" war dance. Such a dance was performed before and after a war by warriors of Arochukwu, Ohafia, Afikpo and Abiriba and a few other neighbouring communities. The dance was meant to please the ancestors so as to grant the warriors victory during war. [/quote i love Igbo Land |

obadiah777: HOWEVER I AM A HEBREW ISRAELITE FIRST. I DO NOT TAKE ON OR ASSUME PRIMITIVE CUSTOMS LIKE THE YORUBAS AND IGBOS DO. BOTH CULTURES ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN HEATHENS. THE CULTURE IS FILTHY. I AM ABOVE THE YORUBA OR IGBO CULTURE. I AM WALKING IN THE CULTURE WE HAD BEFORE PUTTING ON THE HEATHEN LIFESTYLE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IN THE THREAD, THE IGBO PEOPLE ARE A DESTROYED PEOPLE, AS WELL AS THE YORUBA OF COURSE. WALKING AROUND BUTT NEKKID LIKE SAVAGES. LIKE SOME GADDEM HAMITES FROM ETHIOPIA OR SOMALIA OR SUDAN. THATS WHOSE CULTURE YOU HAVE NOW. HAMITIC CULTUREObadiah, you've started with your ranting abi Good morning |

Abagworo: Am proudly Igbo and I am talking from experience. I know a lot of young couples who faced and are facing challenges just because one of them is Osu. Please don't say it has been done away with There are a lot of communities where the practice is still held to and it usually comes to fore when marriage is being discussed (that's why I called it hypocrisy). I know the church has really tried stamp it out, but a lot of people are stuck in their ways. Also in the olden days being Osu went beyond just marriage and chieftaincy...In some places Osu was a second class citizen. And when I say olden I don't mean last century. You cannot compare it to the bolded for the reason that the degree of humiliation is far greater in the osu case. Am catholic and I hope to marry a catholic but that doesn't mean I can embarrass or humiliate or deny a protestant his fundamental rights or force them to live in segregated communities. In the Osu case it was possible to do such to them. |

mimifonwon: am sorry i dont know if this is a positive or negative, but i have never met any group or tribe as proud as igbos. I cherish my igbo side, but sometimes it just gets tooo much. I mean i understand a people once suppressed to almost extinction will always glorify when they can and there is nothing wrong with that, but it gets too much. Like for example, my cousins met these igbo young guys like them at the newark airport and first thing they shouted after speaking to eachother was " ahhh my brothers, nna nyem aka, ndi igbo kwenu...kwezue.unu...." and they all made a scene with their replies, i was kinda of embarrassed as they shook hand. I couldnt look up from where i sat, and most of the people in the airport was looking at them. One oyibo couple asked them, so are you guys family. My cousins laughed and told them, that they were just meeting their fellow igbo people for the first time. The oyibo husband was amazed and just looked astonished. So i ask why do "we"( i say us cuz am partly a member of the igbo bloodline) feel the need to let everyone know that we are igbo all the time. What do you guys gain from the display of overzealous pride? sometimes you guys confuse me.At the highlited, imagine the stupidity, the insult. Very dumb post. If anything, it's a Nigerian thing to shout greetings at each other. The problem with this very dumb post is which person isn't proud of his tribe? So when we greet somebody in our local language, it translates an overzealous display of pride? The Yorubas do it, the Hausas do it, the Binis do it. Stop trying to tie it to just Igbos. Even if the people who shouted at the airport were Igbos, does it mean all Igbos shout like that? We don't confuse you, you confuse yourself. 1 Like |

obadiah777: THERE IS NOTHING MARVELLOUS ABOUT ALL THIS NONSENSE. THESE ARE IGBO CULTURES AFTER THE FACT. THESE ARE ALL BABYLONIAN AND EGYPTIAN IDOLATRY VOODOO PAGAN NONSENSE THAT YOU ACQUIRED ALONG THE WAY. THE REAL IGBO CULTURE IS THE SCRIPTURES, AND DRESSING MODESTLY COVERING ALL YOUR BODY. WHAT IS SHOWN IN THOSE PICTURES IS AN ABOMINATION. YOU PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE REAL JEWS THAT RAN INTO IGBOLAND IN 70 AD AFTER THE ROMAN ARMY KICKED YOU OUT OF JERUSALEM. SAME WITH THE YORUBAS. ALL THESE PICTURES ARE AN ABOMINATION. WALKING AROUND HALF NEKKID WITH B-REAST ALL OUT AND PAGAN STUFFS ALL AROUND. bro..u dont forget take ur medicine again?. |

ItsModella: That girl aint worth a response cos her post reeks of self consciousness which panders on pride and low self esteem. Far from sounding tribalistic the Yorubas shouts the loudest if you'v ever been close to them while discussing. Her cousins she spoke of simply were carried away by the joy of meeting old buddies(language of communication aside). Could she have whined if they had choosen to communicate in English but fail to contain their happiness at meeting each other which offcourse will not lack noises and shouts that comes with the amazement at seeing old buddies? If she had bumped into an old and dear friend in that airport what would have been her response? Obviously, her self consciousness and low self esteem caused her percieved shame not the innocent language used! 1 Like |

babestell: Nobody knows who is Osu or not until marriage. So everything you wrote are all fabricated. Tell me where this happens. For example at my age I don't know any Osu. The only time I've heard of it was when a friend of mine wanted to get married and her father did thorough investigation and discovered her fiance was Osu and refused to give out his daughter even when the Church and his wife were pleading with him. I also had a friend from Oraukwu in Anambra State whose Dad said she must marry a Catholic from Oraukwu because he's a Knight. She dated an Anglican from Awka for years and even abscounded with him only for her Dad to arrest him and take back the daughter. So stop trying to paint a false picture of Osu. |

coolzeal: This is the usual attitude of people living in border towns. Even Afikpo and Abakaliki refer to others as Igbos. Just because there is more cultural and linguistic mix which pushes them away from the core doesn't make them not Igbos. But if you feel so strongly about this, next time you hear "Igbo bu Igbo kwenu" (Igbos who are real Igbos, respond), you can keep quiet. They are already using such greetings in Rivers and parts of Delta. |

PAGAN 9JA: Thats what I am trying to stress. Judaism is not Christianity. It is actually old testament "Christianity" for lack of a better description. But can't be referred to as Christianity because Christ wasn't born then. So most of its "practitioner" were Godly men not Christians. |

salt 1: I beg of you, I've never heard nor seen any Ehugbo deny being Igbo. Maybe Abakaliki and Nsukka do. The truth is that 90% of Igbos never accepted that name but we know who we mean when talking about Igbos. Everyone has a name for others and were very independent in belief and dialect until the Europeans used that nomenclature and we accepted it. |

Another good observation is how Igbos describe organic or opposites as Igbo For instance there is nama,the cows reared by Fulanis and the other cow is called Efi Igbo or Ehi Igbo ( Igbo cows) There is Ewu Awusa ( Hausa goats) then the regular shorter legged ones are called Ewu Igbo Okuko agriculture ( agric fowls) and okuko Igbo |
