See this mumu, you guys are recognized as slaves. Slave at home and abroad. Yoruba's rich history and tradition are celebrated abroad. Since yanmiris do not have history so they have to be remembered as slaves.

Mr man don't be shallow! The Igbo culture is also very popular in the Americas and carribean. This is a plus for the igbo nation and not a comparism with the Yorubas. For your information, we are proud of the Yoruba cultural export too. It's a Nigerian thing

Sensible...so sensible...very sensible!

Nice one! Nigerians making mark everywhr dey go! Nice one frm ma Igbo brodas!

Home nd abroad u'd say?? My frnd u're in a place far away from reality,igbos are never recognised as slaves abroad instead they display their enterprenure skills in a legitimate way. Com to tink of it,igbos out there are making it big in a legitimate way notin av been said abt ur tribe.

The Igbo village is located in Staunton, Virginia, USA. According to one of the organizers Basil Okafor, "The State of Virginia and US government recognize the Igbos as one of the early slaves who settled in Virginia."

Build this in some parts of Nigeria, they will say you want to take away their land from them or you don't respect them for bringing your culture to another man's land . American God bless you for being a multi culture.

Are you making mockering of the man that he died of stroke? Do you know what you would die of? Were you there to know that the yoruba man bangged his wife or simply because the man said so then is the truth? Let's reason with our brains at times and not the other way round. Thanks

I can't help but laugh, this is nothing but a museum in Virginia and yet our Igbo brothers and sisters see it as a great achievement. Maybe recognition from the Whites boost some of y'all self esteem but let's not get too carried away. It's great the Whites are taking interest in African culture but history will always judge them as slave masters. This is an excerpt taken from the director from the museum:

Historians say the Igbo (pronounced E-bo) were the most common African ethnic group in Virginia in the 19th century, and many made their way into the Virginia wilderness as slaves.

By interpreting the life of the Igbo, the museum hopes to give pre-colonial African history the same treatment as it gives English and German settlements of the same period, Executive Director John Avoli said.

I hope everyone here can read clearly and understand the significance of the bolded quote!

This is a nice innovation which should also be replicated in the caribbeans where we have lots of Igbo descendants. They can learn about igbo culture on this platform. It doesn't stop at erecting a village,there should be a mini igbo school with instructors in the village which will teach vistors about igbos.
