Omoawoke2:
Every human were once naked, even the whites were once naked

But civilization came very late to the igbos. The Yorubas have long evolved centuries before the igbos came out of bush

When Yorubas were building empires, when oyo empire was thriving, the igbos were still inside bush.

Even Ajayi crowther discovered Onistha and described them as uncivilized
Ajayi crowther discovered Onitsha grin

Where Una lie never reach bikonu grin grin cheesy cheesy lmao 😂

So every people have to have a kingdom before they're considered civilised?

Clown 🤡

Civilisation is majorly based on

1. Advanced agriculture ability for a people to cultivate stuff . Igbos are known farmers infact when whites came they were coming to collect agricultural products from Igbos along the coast line


2. Complex social organisation - Igbos were people who hate being ruled by one person we had a more decentralised government
Made up of
1. Ọha (the people)
Na
ii. Eze ( priests) fun fact the eze means priest in Igbo not king!

iii. Ndị Ichie na ndị ọzo ( council of elders)

Iv. Ndị Nne ( elderly moms)

V. Ndị isi ntorobịa ( the youth council)(male)

Vi . Ndi isi agbọghọ ( the youth council)(female)

All these groups must agree before any law is passed
It's more complex than this .I'm just trying to keep it simple

3. Technology and innovation: Igbos wonderful craftsmen that mastered the art of both mining and making metal works

Bronze - which is made of copper and tin majorly

How the heck did my ancestors even have the technology to mine copper and tin grin? 🤔 Wonderful artisans! wink
They even masterd the art of using wax casting (a very sophisticated method) that time to make Igbo-ukwu bronze arts grin
They built nsude pyramids in udi Enugu! Wow! cheesy
They made Thier clothes from looms and raffias to make Akwete wink

4.Culture and religion : Igbos have a wonderful culture from Thier wonderful wedding rites to igba mgba to our yam festival and many other cultures and traditions
Igbos are very religious we believe in chi which is everyone's guardian angel that helps us we believed in one almighty God who oversees other small chis Chukwu okike abiama

Fun fact: Igbos were literally the only ones na
ibi-ùgwù (circumcising) in west Africa as far as time can tell grin and we bi ugwu ( circumcise) on izu abụọ ( two igbo weeks) that's exactly 8 days like the bible said! Coincidence? shocked


5. Trade and economy: Igbos are known traders! It's something that's deeply rooted in our culture
. Igbos have 4 weekdays EKE ORIE AFỌ ǸKWỌ they're all literally market days in ìgbo land if 4 communities live side by side they share the market days amongst themselves one will take ORIE the other ǸKWỌ and so forth cheesy

Igbos have proverbs that says " ụwa bu ahịa onye zuru nke ya o ka" that is " life is a market , whatever you buy you take it to your grave"
That show how trade is deeply rooted in us

6. Record keeping and writing: it's no news Igbos read and write in nsibidi and Akagu writings before whites came it's no news. Tho it's almost a lost style of writing I'm glad some organisations are working with SE governors to reintroduce it to our kgs and primary schools



So my friend you need more education

You're obviously too filled with hate








When Igbos were building pyramids


Making bronze arts
