Learning nsibidi alphabeth very soon to be used for my logo

chibecanglobal:
Cross river and igbo heritage if you are conversant with its history bro.
It is a known fact that it originated from the peoples of cross river but you should agree that in the course of its development its use spread to other peoples neighbouring the original cross river users which included parts of present igbo land.You should know that it is based on ideas and concepts represented in ideagraphs which transends languages..

i agree

Does anyone know the actual representation of God (chukwu) in Nsibidi? Have been scourging the Internet for it without success.

Amazing, didn't know African people had their own language scripts, always wondered why the Asians and Europeans had them but not us Africans

Not to say you are ignorant, but just lack a little knowledge. Some of the world oldest written language scripts is in Africa. You know that right.

Nsibidi originated from the Ekoi/Ejagham people of Cross River state in Nigeria. It spread to parts of Igbo land from this area. Igbos should stop misintepreting history to assert themselves as a progressive tribe.
Sadly, the Ekois are a minority tribe in danger of extinction. Most of them don't even know their Bantu origin or speak their language. As a result, the Igbos are yet to be corrected on this issue.

Which was said on the first page:

Nsibidi's origin is generally attributed to the Ekoi people of southern Nigeria.

So please exit right and don't let the door hit you on your as.s

1st:
Nsibidi's origin is generally attributed to the Ekoi people of southern Nigeria. Alternatively J. K. Macgregor claimed in 1909 that it is traditionally said to have come from the Uguakima, Ebe or Uyanga tribes of the Igbo people, which legend says were taught the script by baboons,[3] although one writer believes Macgregor had been misled by his informants.[6]

2: I believe the word you are looking for is not "progressive" but "advanced". But who knows when it comes to people like you who have Igbophobia. And mind you the Aztecs had aquaducts and didn't have a form of w

3: If you are not even bothered to get off your lazy behind and read the first page of this thread it's okay not to comment. You look less ignorant and prejudice that way

Lastly:

If you care so much why are you not reviving it yourself since you have taken the Ekoi plight to heart? This guy who is doing this is actually doing something worthwhile, while you on the other hand...yeah doing pretty much nothing.

I find it hard to understand why any one would. insult me over my comment. I'm not an Igbo hater, I thought I could use this to correct the wrong info I've heard from people. Sheesh.

I do not think anyone has attributed the origin of Nsibidi to the Igbos. At least, from the people I have discussed it with.

You should be insulted. You didn't even take the time out to read the very first page of this thread where what you state was already said and highlighted for everyone who reads this thread. You just say Igbo and ran with it like all the other Losers on Nairaland.

It was a comment born out of ignorance and igbophobia. Why make this comment:

Igbos should stop misintepreting history to assert themselves as a progressive tribe.

You exposed yourself.

The only other people talking to you are the voices inside your head. So go have a heart to heart with you imaginary friends and stop embarrassing yourself with your weak sauce defends for your silliness.

Would you even have anything to talk about if not for the same Igbo person, you are fixing your chapped and cracked lips to insult, decided to revive the dying script? No, so exit up out the thread and tell others like yourself to get bent with a rusty wrench.

Sheeesh.

It's Igbophobia, some Nigerians can't help themselves. They can't think straight if they haven't put an Igbo person down at the start of every morning.

Everything she thought she was "enlightening" people on was stated on the first page. So what prompted her comment?

^^^^that aside, what has been done to revive this wonderful piece of writing style up? Any idea if any of the government down East is interested in this? Honestly, I look forward to when it is going to be adopted by the originators, the East and the entire SE.

I think it's origin is from Calabar.

Ndipe:
I think it's origin is from Calabar.

Yeah it is - more like Cross River though. OP alluded to that.

Feraz I think the creator is still improving his literacy, and working out the kinks in the script. In due course, I think it he will eventually begin promoting it. The image is of recent diary entries of his which he uploaded on Facebook.

Yeah... I hope to learn also...

I want to learn this ancient writing too of the ekoi/Igbo people.

Am bringing out a simplified version of the Nsibiri glyphs...learning it'd be much more easier

England began the game of football, but how you feel about football when you get to maracana stadium in Brazil?

Greek scripts originated from Phoenicia, yet A, B, C, D.....Z is of Greek.

NSIBIDI is considered ejagham by origin, but who popularized it with their innovations? IGBOS. That's why today Igbo names can be written in NSIBIDI, thats why Igbo essays can be written in nsibidi.
