BIBLICAL TRADITIONS OF IGBOS BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES CAME TO Africa - IGBO 101.
*1. NSO NWANYI*
In Igboland women live apart from their husbands and neither cook for them or enter their husband's quarters when they are in their period. They are seen as unclean. Even up till today such practice is still applicable in some parts of Igboland especially by the traditionalists. Before a woman can enter the palace of Obi of Onitsha, she will be asked if she is in her period, if yes, she will be asked to stay out.
*Leviticus 15: 19-20*
When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean, anyone who touches her or anything she has sat on becomes unclean.
*2. ALA OBI*
An Igbo man's ancestral heritage, called “Ana Obi” is not sellable, elders will not permit this. If this is somehow done due to the influence of the West the person is considered a fool and is ostracized by the community.
*1 king 21:3*
I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors, and the Lord forbid that I should sell it, said Naboth.
*3. IKUCHI NWANYI*
Igbos have practiced the taking of a late brother's wife into marriage after she had been widowed until the white men came. Now it is rarely done but except in very rural villages.
*Deuteronomy 25:5*
A widow of a dead man is not to be married outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her.
*4. IGBA ODIBO*
In Igboland, there is a unique form of apprenticeship in which either a male family member or a community member will spend six(6) years (usually in their teens to their adulthood) working for another family. And on the seventh year, the head of the host household, who is usually the older man who brought the apprentice into his household, will establish (Igbo: idu) the apprentice
by either setting up a business for him or giving money or tools by which to make a ligving.
*Exodus 21:2*
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay you anything.
*5. IRI JI OHURU*
In Igboland , the yam is very important as it is their staple crop. There are celebrations such as the New yam festival (Igbo: Iri Ji) which are held for the harvesting of the yam. New Yam festival (Igbo: Iri ji) is celebrated annually to secure a good harvest of the staple crop. In the olden days it is an abomination for one to eat a new harvest before the festival. It's a tradition that you give the gods of the land first as a thanksgiving.
*Deuteronomy 16:9*
Count 7 weeks from the time that you begin to harvest the crops, and celebrate the harvest festival to honor the lord your God, by bringing him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessing he has given you. Celebrate in the Lord's presence together with your children, servants, foreigners. Be sure that you obey my command, said the Lord.
*6. IBE UGWU*
In Igboland it's a tradition that the male children are circumcised on the 8th day. This tradition is still practiced till date.
*Leviticus 12:3*
On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcised.
*7. OMUGWO*
In Igboland, there is a practice known as "ile omugwo ". After a woman has given birth to a child, a very close and experienced relative of hers, in most cases her mother is required by tradition to come spend time with her and her husband. During which she is to do all the work of the wife, while the new mom's only assignment to the baby will be to breastfeed. This goes on for a month or more. In the Igbo old tradition, at this time, the new mom lives apart from her husband, would not cook or enter his quarters.
*Leviticus 12:1-4*
For seven days after a woman gives birth, she is ritually unclean as she is during her monthly period. It will be 33 days until she is ritually clean from the loss of blood; she is not to touch anything that is holy.
Umu Igbo let us not be deceived. We are God's own people and will always opt to be an igbo man

Lol, I am observing myself for a week, if I see any strange symptoms, I'll raise alert.
Even in the hospital where I took the vaccine, they asked me to report any strange symptoms.

If you graduate from a university and you come out looking for someone to employ you, then you are one of the problems of this country. With the knowledge and enlightenment you've gained from school, you should be the one employing and empowering people.
There are several businesses one can start building now which requires little capital but with a potential for massive returns in the long run.

Kanu has just finished you guys. The easiest way to know who depends on who is to visit the embassy. Go to the Nigerian embassy in UK and count the Number of British people applying to visit Nigeria, then check the british embassy here.

Even the president of Nigeria depends on britain to stay alive. They could easily kill buhari if they wanted in that hospital.

Did they use guns to get abacha and ibori tk move funds there?

Can you guys just try a little to use your sense?

Coronabirus:
The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; there is Igbo quote which say:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"

Lol. Britian will kill their citizen for a third world country like Nigeria that depends on them for survival. At some point britain even asked Nigerian government for his whereabout. If Nigerian government kills him, they will have to explain to Britain. And if the explanation is not good enough, they face sanctions.

If he did not go to prison he wont gain the popularity needed to expand his business. If you know how much alert he was getting in that prison, you will be shocked.

Secondly, he knows Nigerian government will not kill a british citizen like that . Went to prison broke, return to UK a billionaire.

okeyglm:
nna just imagine how kanu is wasting our people. he can't even afford to buy ordinary Ak47. it is only mad man that will go and face Ak47 with cutlass. it is a shame umunwanne m. To those mumu people. , should you die tomorrow they will deny you.

Tofax:
“A few people cannot just stand up one day and say to us: ‘Yes, we want Yoruba nation.’ How? Where did we sit down to discuss this? With who and who? At what point in time? So, if you do not carry everybody along, you cannot be representing us.”

Did Lugard & his Mistress consented with any Indigenous People in Nigeria before the country was named & formed.
Was the opinion of the Yorubas, Ijaws,Igbos, Hausa, Efik, Kanuris etc consented before the geographical expression called Nigeria was created?
Mr. Governor go & sit down

mankan2k7:
Lugard should have joined the northern Nigeria with the Niger people. The southern part of Nigeria has nothing in common with them.

UstazAhmed:
In 1957 you guys wanted to have your independence, and we said we are not ready. It took your southern leaders to prostrate and bow to our Northern leaders before we agreed. Why didn't you guys go ahead and let us be?

God Bless Lugard, at least the Oil from the south is what we are enjoying and no one can stop the cash flow

crossfm:
What do these guys really want?.

Anigreat:
Stop cursing lugard,that's sign of irresponsibility,it's on us to correct lugard's mistake by joining separatist group








Ofcourse you're saying the truth, and Buhari over the years has proven this to be true. That's more reason Lord Lugard will continue to suffer severely in hell for merging the south with north when it was clear that the south had nothing in common with quota system people.

ablejesus26:
Words from a maniacal, unhinged and deranged mind cannot make any sense so you therefore have no hope of making sense

I wouldn't drag myself down to the level of a mad man by engaging in a banter with you

Your prayer is for Ala Igbo to be plunged into terrorism like the North

Chukwu Abiama will put you and your cohorts to shame

dont quote me again I have no business with low brained ragamuffins.

ablejesus26:
For now we will not conclusively say it's Esn
bcus Igbos are not unintelligent people dat just dwell on assumptions

but when it becomes clear dat ipob with it's militant sect has an hand in the killing of our own on our very own Soil, we fish ya all out of our midst, then you will understand why we say terrorism has no place in Igbo.

last last na to cry and call us saboteur e go end

but I rather be a sabotage to anyone dat will cause Ala Igbo to be like the terror savaged North than to sit back and watch some criminals and bandits kill our sons, fathers, brothers and uncles.

every Agitation towards the breaking of dis failed marriage is welcome

but killing our Own people is A No No

So sad.
The nation at large failed her.
The Christian community most especially.
All out Christian leaders have been silent and continue with life.
So unfortunate, takes a US based organisation to be following up on her.
God will surely deliver her from captivity, one day.

Juliusmalema:
Leave his state for him.

He is the Governor and didn't ask for your help.

Stop causing problems for the governor.

kettykin:
I have my genuine reasons bro. If you know your history very well ,you will realise that the 1966 crisis in the western region which had nothing to do with igbos and for which military officers led by igbos intervened was what brought us to this sorry state in Nigeria.

Awolowo was being pummelled by northerners and was in jail while a state of emergency was declared in the western region, only for over patriotic igbo soldiers to do coup and for the same Awolowo to backtrack and join northerners to pummel igbos even suggesting hunger and starvation to finish igbos.

I strongly believe Nigeria is back to 1966. The igbo nation needs utmost caution and tact. Nigeria is a very evil entity.

I really dread our neighbors more than our enemies.

Tunubu and Sanwo olu dancing seriously for the tax annually from d refinery

Simplyleo:
Dangote decided to locate his refinery in Lagos having considered various factors such as security problems from criminals. He doesn't want a situation where some jobless criminals will keep disturbing the refinery top management staff with "na our land".

Sequel to his choice of location, some pained shildren of 8, anger, frustration and perdition have turned Dangote to their enemies calling him several unprintable names.

To think some of these clowns have their relations working in same Dangote's firms is very amusing.

Dangote Refinery is in Lagos, kill yourselves if you are pained.
