They were just two thousand, yet they massacred forty thousand in a battle. They were the first Africans to refine crude oil with local materials. They made an Airport appear every night and disappear every morning for over 2 years. They were the first Africans to manufacture Proper bombs with wholly local materials, they gave us OGBUNIGWE BOMB – the fear of soldiers. They lost over two million of their tribes men, yet they bounced back.

All he asks of you is a place to rest his head, nothing more, you would see the igbo man build an empire out of nothing. sheer tenacity and industry they exhibit.

while the Yorubas and the Hausas would easily be beggars on the street, the pride in the Igbo man makes that option very very remote. it can easily be said that except in the case of madness or leprosy, you wont find an Igbo beggar. Stop, think about all the beggars you have met on the street, have you met one who is an igbo man? The Igbo people are about the most traveled people on earth. in fact, it is said that if you travel to any place on earth and you cant find an Igbo man there, you had better leave the place because it is inhabitable.

Half brothers to the hausa-fulanis from the north, cousins to the yorubas from the west, they are the descendants of Nri, they are our family - THE IGBO TRIBE OF NIGERIA. – Till next week Thursday

*when you wake up realizing you are igbo*

I like the word "LongGoings".
Though, I doubt the Igbo-Yoruba "cousinhood".

Make me understand the general rules of the Igbo language and I may say my opinion about who My Igbo Family are.

The Igbos are the descendents of Jews from the land of Israel, who were exiled by the Romans 2000 years ago. The Jews who fled the Holy Land and settled in what is now the Southeast of Nigeria are the ancestors of the Igbos.
