That is Igbo for you


The only tribe that gives women power in Africa

That's right o. But the women may not have the right of inheritance, sold like goats to their husbands and are made to drink the water obtained from washing the corpses of their husbands with their head scraped with blunted razor! What an empowerment!

She said in her hometown, not in Igbo land generally
Is the same in her hometown, her village must have Odu or Iyom female chieftains. Igboland all villages have female chiefs.

Odu or Iyom are the name of female Chief in Igboland.
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: I Am First Female Chief In My Hometown, People Make Culture by Odingo1: 1:26pm On Jan 05, 2023
There is nothing Chief in Igboland, is modern invention when the British installed warrant chiefs in indirect rule. What we have in Igboland is Ichie or Ozo title for men and Odu or Iyom title for women.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advocated for a culture that celebrates men and women alike, IGBERETV reports.

The celebrated writer who was recently made a Chief in her hometown, Abba, Anambra State, and given the title of "Odeluwa" said this on Instagram while sharing a video from her conferment ceremony.

She wrote:

This is a travesty and abomination. Surprised that an educated person that is promoting her people’s culture will covet and accept the chieftaincy title

Is building schools a job for our celebrities or a job for our elected government? We should be holding our government local state and federal accountable.
Charity begins at home
even when the local or state government are irresponsible or responsible, nothing is stopping Celebrities from do something small for their village or hometown e.g buying school books for the less fortunate kids.

BaddestQueen:
Yoruba Muslims are originally from Mali and not real Yorubas.

But due to the accommodating nature of the original Yorubas, they invaded yoruba land and start oppressing real Yorubas religiously and politically.
they always blackmail real Yorubas emotionally and otherwise.
they're gradually spreading and if any real yoruba talk he'll be hushed and be called either bastard or omo ale.
they resoundingly rejected Osibanjo and ridiculed him to the highest but expecting real Yorubas to support their criminal Tinubu.
but thank God real Yorubas are waking up from their slumber and putting these invaders into their rightful place.

God bless real Yorubas
thunder scatter Tinubu
thunder scatter Tinubu urchins
hahahahaha

Someone like won't cease to amaze me with ur warped mindsets .... Anyway for ur information there is nothing like yoruba Moslem in Yoruba land. We Omoluabis are not religious freak , in our family we could have members who are practising d 3 major religion s without rancouring and also coexist in love. The likes of muric or whatever is called is alien to our culture.

If you are truly Igbo, you wouldn't have written Igbo as Ibo. Eghu

Illiterate spotted.

Igbo is the written or spoken language.
Ibo is the noun which qualifies the person or thing in context.

Shut up there. There's nothing like Ibo. Ibo originated because Yorubas don't have gb in their alphabet. The word Igbo was coined from Ndi gboo(ancient people). Be enlightened. Itiboribo

Odu or Iyom are the name of female Chief in Igboland.
Iyom is not a female chief. All married women are automatically iyom. Have you ever heard during gathering when women married into a kindred (not daughters) are addressed as ndì iyom kwenu?
Odu is given to outstanding daughters of the soil. They are not chiefs. I will get a picture for you.

This is onitsha daughters who are in otu odu. My husband's aunt is part of that. She isn't a chief.

The second and third pictures are titled women. Can you see their hand fan. You don't use that unless you are a titled woman. Notice their names carved on the fan and their crown. Just like chimamanda.
One of the picture is what ndì iyom looks like.
I used anambra as example. Don't know what's obtainable in other parts of igboland but I assumeits the same.
