International usurper,

Again I ask, why was the topic changed from: Nsibidi Igbo Writing To Writing of the Southeast?

lies. Nsibidi doesn't translate to any Igbo word. That's not how the script is built. Trying to make it like the Roman alphabet shows your don't understand it and actually undercuts it being a reflection of Igbo culture
Please, can you explain to us the origin of this your Igbo phobia grin grin

Check out the fan art I made using Akagu version of Nsibidi (found here http://blog.nsibiri.org/2017/09/akagu-igbo-alphabet.html )
I also ended up making it using Roman Characters and a font that resembles the font in the Black Panther movies.
What do you all think?

That's nice.
First heard about Nsibidi on Sribd back in 2013, there was a guy who was putting together a dictionary and in general worrking towards reviving it. Didn't pay attention to it till late last year, trying to learn it now and akagu is really a breeze to learn, nsibidi is a lot harder but when the two are used it flows nicely.

We need to start using this in Igbo communication, am hoping it becomes widespread over the next decade.

There is an Nsibidi translator where you type in things and it shows you how it would look, download that and you'll see.

shut up. It wasn't popularized by Igbos. They're trying to claim it and that's why the owners are fighting them.

You are so pathetic, you ain't even ejagham. whether you believe or not, nsibidi is part of igbo history.

SHARAP! The only Igbo people permitted to speak about nsibidi are the Aros and Abriba people for their slave dealing with us, you people only like falsehoods.
If u don't know d origin of d people around the River Cross just be quiet, Ibos were basically sold as slaves and nsibidi was practiced by a society only know to this region and the Aros/Abribas were tolerated
Ibos no nothing about it

Chai....is this how demented you have become? Who are the Aros and Abiribas to start with? Are they "southsouth" too? Lol

FYI, The entire southern and parts of northern igboland used nsibidi. The entire Abia, Imo, large parts of Ebonyi and rivers as well as handful parts of Anambra, Enugu used Nsibidi. Study you won't study.

You can't rewrite history. I'm from Umuahia in Abia and our ancestors were part and parcel of the ancient okonko (ekpe) society.

You are just an illiterate privileged to use the internet.

If u go down to the Americas Carribeans and Europe, run their DNA you will see that majority of the slaves sold were IBO's
How can people hiding from their slave masters have time to even have come sense?
Umauahia was really a domain use to fish for slaves, don't u dare mention it....no wonder the coward KANU a Jew wants to feel among
Come do you people have identity or inferiority complex has eaten of your entire useless brain?
See who is mentioning Ekpe?
