I do agree with you to some extent, an Igbo conference should be open to "interested" individuals, but it should depend on the context and content of discussions at that event.
Some things are better kept in a close knit circle if you ask me.

I don't think there is anything discussed there that is not in public domain.
It is not an ohanaeze conference.

Most of the people there are young igbos in the diaspora looking to connect.
Many of them were born there.

Harmless.

Some years ago she did say, women in the part of Igboland where she comes from married multiple and lived with husbands at a time.
Which led to uproar in Igbo community ( her hometown inclusive). . . What would you make of this?
I must tell you, preaching women empowerment, equality and respect is a good thing, but toying with cultures and tradition is a VERY dangerous game.

Culture is dynamic.

There was a time when killing of twins was a sacred culture , it is no longer true.

What of the Osu culture? It is becoming a thing of the past.
Any culture that is not progressive is discarded for new ones.
That has been proven true throughout history.

Given how educated and exposed igbo women are compared to other groups of Nigerian women are , we are going to be seeing a lot more chimamandas in the nearest future.

LMAO. Your grammar alone isn't worth replying.
I give up you win. But just for the sake of educating you, I will tell you a little something.
You are as smart as a monkey. Igbo conference held ABROAD to discuss issues pertaining to what and who?
Have you being a black man ever been to an Aryan conference? How about an Irish one? German? Balkan? Spanish?
Yet you allow Caucasian infiltrators into yours? And you think they are interested in your culture.
Anyways that conference or whatever they call it has nothing to do with Igbos.
They weren't discussing a way forward for Igbo's, rather they were just there to showcase their educational qualification and familiarize with those perceived to be elite in society.

Nobody will stop you from attending a Germanic conference.

Countries with indigenous languages are trying to sell their culture to foreigners nowadays.
We have the Confucius institute in Africa from China .
French Africa is basically French in culture and language.

It is a means of attracting strength .

It is even a good thing in my opinion. The igbo culture is being sold to foreigners and that way its relevance as an African export is ensured .

There is nothing wrong if the igbo language and culture is studied in the world best universities just like Spanish or French or Chinese , and these is one of the ways to get that kind of accomplishment.

He doesn't have to be "The custodian of Igbo culture" to state "FACTS"!
I am neither pro nor anti feminism, but hey lets be factual here. She goes WELL overboard with her actions sometimes.

And who is the judge of "what is overboard "?
How are you sure your own views are not what is overboard?

chivera018:
Keep ur hatred away.

Hatred?

Go to her other threads and see the hatred your fellow ignorant Nigerians have for her.

She even had to address Nigerians in a sharply worded letter to shut up and stop lambasting her, at the height of the Hilary Clinton issue.

She is not representing Nigeria. Nigeria did not contribute anything to her.

Temple1288:
Our mothers are not feminists and that made them good mothers.. Her teachings and beliefs re far from what Igbo people believe in.. She is gradually turning women who agree with her into fools!

#fact

Who made you a custodian of igbo culture!?

chivera018:
whichever ways, she is making us proud, not just the igbos alone but Nigerians all together.

The same Nigerians that wanted her to crash and burn?

That is an igbo conference. Keep your Nigerian shitt away.

Fuckyoumod:
The fact that this woman is still married with kids till now, without marital issues,

only means one thing, that she is a loyal and submissive wife to her husband to the last letter.

She loves her husband.
She loves her kids.
She is a good cook.
She knows how to treat her husband right.
She must have even sucked his dick.
She is a submissive and loyal wife to the core.

Because, no man, no matter the love, would want to remain or be with an insubordinate and disloyal wife.

Just that her husband is spineless & foolish, for not knowing that a wife should bear her husbands name, yet chimamanda still love him like that, a very foolish man.

And all these boils down to a conclusion, she is not practicing what she preach.

This feminism thing is just a brand and its paying her big time, Wise Igbo woman.

But I pity our foolish girls, with half brain, who would be the ones practicing what chimamanda preaches.

Humans are equal, but trying to feel your more human than a man is contrary to the forces of Nature itself.

I Bet you, chimamanda would be the last Igbo woman to have a failed marriage, She would do everything to preserve her home and marriage.

While foolish women would continue to kill their foolish husbands, all in the name of feminist.

and single women will remain single forever, all in the name feminist.

Mumu girls!

She still answers her father's name alone .

That alone should tell you the kind of husband she is married to.


Not every husband is a chauvinistic pig.

Pray that your sisters get married to husbands like hers that is not easily threatened.
