warlei: Nice ,are there still wild animals nigeria? Can you name them,nd which part they can be found

ChinenyeN: Alright. I see the post now.
You said the otogbo developed into the attire worn by Glover and Whitaker?

Dede1: This is unintentional act of disinformation.

ChinenyeN: Just got word back that my people do (or did) something similar with guns, specifically dane guns. Dane guns were later on replaced with ntulala (canons). It is said that one of the reasons we used dane guns (and later, canons) was to signal beyond the local village community to the rest of the nnadi (since the ikoro drum lacked that extended range). The dane guns are said to have had no bullets. They would be fired blank. The same with the canons I believe.

The practice has become uncommon, it seems. People have now mostly reverted back to ikoro for signaling (or at the very last, ikoro has once again become what people primarily associate with community signaling).

Andre Uweh: The white regalia shows purity both in action, body, judgement and thought.

eaglechild: Nigeria's problem is bad old CORRUPTION

Rayhut: Men and women of God has prophecized time without number that BIAFRA will come to reality in no distant time.Biafra land will stretch from Enugu to Edo and two third of Lagos,because lagos been the fomer fct will be divided into three for the three geopolitical zone in the south while Abuja will will be divided into three for the three geopolitical zone in the north.zionist country Biafra must manifest!!!

afam4eva: What's their website??

ChinenyeN: How come Ezeagu's posts are being hidden?

Antivirus92: do you know that in the olden days prior to the coming of the europeans that cloth doesn't exist in africa. In those days people were wearing animal skin. On introd uction of cloth, different people chose a way of dressing that they feel have a relationship with their culture. Again igbo is not a collection of different people as u claim,igbo is a tribe.the igbos in the boundaries do mix their traditional language,culture and dressing with their non-igbo groups ,so don't say that there is nothing like igbo tradition. If u want to witness the true igbo tradition please come to the igbo areas that are sorrounded by fellow igbo communities and not using ur community in the boundary to judge the entire igbo tribe. I have been saying it all the time that the problem we have in igboland today are the igbos who share boarders with non-igbos,those people always use the influence of non-igbos around them to judge others.they will readily divide the igbo nation and always see themselves as different from some other igbo people far away from them. There is igbo tradition,custom,tradition!,yes they exist.

odumchi: I'm aware that communities have ndi oye iwu (town heralds) who go about and announce news with their ogele.

I also know that some communities use drums as a means of sending messages but I'm not aware of the use of firearms in the same manner.

I'll inquire about this. Anyway, Ezeagu, could you tell us the communities that use guns in such a manner?

dasparrow: The name of the city is OWERRI and not "owere". I have not been to Owerri or Enugu so I can't say.

SmoothCrim: Because, Nigeria historically lacked the essence of Ancient West African cultures!!!
