show us were Yoruba ethnic group share same Neanderthal ancestors via gene with pygmies related groups

Kindly face facts and stop posting information without genetic evidence. It is amazing how you lurk people up as if complexion is the same as genetic.

A typical modern example is Bob Marley, whose father was a white man and mother a darkskin woman. Today, Bob Marley sons and grandsons are both darkskin people and pure white Caucasian complexion. There are millions of Yoruba people who are Neanderthal descendants which differs from other Africans in west Africa.

And here you are claiming otherwise.People like you are so unrealsitic by trying to fuse Yoruba forcefully without having knowledge on these things. So so amazing.

I learnt from history classes that Igbos were the first black race to be civilized and use this language to communicate with each other back then when other tribes were yet to taste civilization

A lot of people have heard about Nsibidi and seen a few of the symbols but not everybody knows the truth of how expansive Nsibidi or even the origins of the Nsibidi script so today i'll be breaking it down and giving the history of the Nsibidi script as well as more information on the script and it's different forms and uses

Furst off what is important to know is that Nsibidi isn't only a script it is actually broken down into three forms
Nsibidi writing
Nsibidi sign language
Nsibidi language

And i'll try and break all of these down as much as possible but it must be remembered that most information pertaining to Nsibidi is kept secret by the Ekpe Societies


The beginning of Nsibidi starts thousands of years ago in the forests of South East Nigeria back in those times hunters often spent multiple nights in the forest away from the village to hunt as much as possible in as short a time and to scare away the creatures of the forest they'd set up campfires around where they'd sleep for the night but there was one creature that wasn't scared of the fire and terrorized the hunters and they called it the Idiok they were an ape like creature but much larger and much scarier and this process continued night after night, week after week and year after year until a group of hunters from a place called Uguakim had the idea to simply watch the Idiok rather then running away and as they observed the Idiok they watched as they wrote symbols in the ground and used hand signals to communicate with each other after writing the symbols on the ground, it was from observing the Idiok that the people learnt of the Nsibidi script and the Nsibidi sign language.


From there the people realized the power of Nsibidi and began to formulate a secret society to guard the power of Nsibidi and this secret society was named the Ekpe society named after the Leopard a symbol of stealth and power among most groups in Ancient Africa. It was through this society that most knowledge of Nsibidi was kept and any and all knowledge of the spoken Nsibidi, Nsibidi sign language and symbols of Nsibidi pertaining to power, war and government were kept secret by this society.

But that doesn't mean that the people weren't able to learn Nsibidi there were specific symbols that were made public to the people such as those pertaining to love, friendship and basic pronouns such as man, woman, child, family etc.

Although many will disagree with the secrecy of Nsibidi it was actually very useful to the Ekpre Society who also functioned as a sort of policing system in those times because they were able to communicate messages to each other secretly without people knowing it was especially useful in times of war or unrest in which they were able to communicate to each other where to go meanwhile the enemies or the rebels wouldn't know what they were planning or what exactly they were to do next, some historians even attribute the strength of the Aro to the skillfullness of their warriors in communicating with each other whether through symbols or through sign language it was through this that they were able to conquer large swathes of Igbo land very easily.

The Ekpe society not only used Nsibidi as a form of communication but they also used it for religious purposes it is believed that only a few people at the top of the Ekpe society were taught the practice of Sigil magic or the magic that can be produced from the writing of very specific Nsibidi symbols on the ground unfortunately not much is known about this practice in its truest form due to the secrecy of the Ekpe society but there are great examples of it in Cuba as members of the society were often kidnapped and sold off in the slave trade and in fear of their knowledge being lost they taught it to other Africans around them and the practice lives on today as Abakua.


But the most useful use of Nsibidi was likely for court cases in which it was used to accurately describe the purpose, the attendees and the conclusion of the court case although most of these have not survived as they were often written on the ground with chalk or on tree trunks and artefacts which have been lost to time.

But Nsibidi still lives on today not only through the Ekpe Society but also through the Ikom Monoliths, ARtefacts such as Calabashes and bronzes, in shrines dedicated to different deities of the ancestors and probably most famously in Ukara Ekpe the sacred cloth worn by members of the Ekpe Society which often tell stories through the Nsibidi inscriptions on them.

To end it off i'll just like to say that Nsibidi isn't like any other script in existence especially due to it's abstract nature whilst most scripts of today are written from left to right or top to bottom Nsibidi is written in an abstract form there is still a form to it but it is often very random to the normal person as can be seen from the two pictures of court cases written in Nsibidi from the 1800s

Mathematics in indigenous Igbo society is evident in their calendar, banking system and strategic betting game called Okwe. In their indigenous calendar, a week had four days, a month consisted of seven weeks, and 13 months made a year. In the last month, an extra day was added. This calendar is still used in indigenous Igbo villages and towns to determine market days. They settled law matters via mediators, and their banking system for loans and savings, called Isusu, is also still used. The Igbo new year, starting with the month Ọ́nwạ́ M̀bụ́ (Igbo: First Moon) occurs on the third week of February, although the traditional start of the year for many Igbo communities is around springtime in Ọ́nwạ́ Ágwụ́ (June). Used as a ceremonial script by secret societies, the Igbo have an indigenous ideographic set of symbols called Nsibidi, originating from the neighboring Ejagham people. Igbo people produced bronzes from as early as the 9th century, some of which have been found at the town of Igbo Ukwu, Anambra State.

There is nothing like hating, we should always say the truth. This nepotism and tribalism are the bane of our development in this country. More reason there are agitations everywhere . Anybody that feels hurt by my submission should tell the authorities to be fair to all otherwise go and hug a nearby transformer. All the names of the invitees posted so far are Hausa names . Rubbish

OhBritannia:
The person handling pere's page on Instagram is the most mature and most intelligent handler this season.

If you spend five minutes on pere's page, i swear!!!! You will just go and give pere all your votes.

The guy is posting receipts about pere that we never knew about.

You see that video he posted about pere praying and assisting a cancer patient many years ago, that's the most beautiful and most emotional video I've seen this week.

It turns out that the palm reading pere Always does with Maria is actually not fake, i think pere is spiritually gifted, remember he told Maria he wanted to become a pastor.

You see that dream he told Maria about, where he said they got married and Maria had 6 kids for him?

I swear!!! Pere wasn't lying.
The guy is spiritually gifted, more like a seer or something.

When he said he sensed negative energy on white money when he first saw him, he wasn't lying.

White money is a confirm cultist with juju in his blood stream so any spiritually gifted person will always sensed the negative energy in a cultist.

Note!! I am in no way castigating white money, i am only stating facts here.

White money is a cool guy too but his association outside the house is not a good association.

Forget about everything that has happened in that house, Pere is actually a pure soul.
In life no man is perfect, we all have flaws and pere is no exception.

I spent just 20 minutes in pere's page and my perception changed about him.

And the appreciation video the handler just posted thanking patriots is just so so loving, lyrics on point.

And the last thing i noticed about pere Is that the organic female fans he has is scary i swear down!!!

See beautiful ladies all stanning him with everything they have.

You all won't understand what i am talking about, after the show you will understand what i am talking about.

The way ladies are legitly stanning pere ehn!!!! E choke me I swear down!!!!

If Maria and Pere eventually gets together and get married. I see them being top three power couples in the whole of Africa.

The Beyonce and Jay-Z of Africa.

If Maria was my sister, i will advise her to wait for pere and take things serious with him and if pere was my brother, i will advise him to get serious with Maria and stop doing things that annoys her.

With Maria and pere, i sense something like destiny. Like they were meant to be together.

I saw Maria's interview when she was asked to describe the housemates with one word, it got to pere's turn and she was speechless for about 1 minutes, she was lost for words and all she could say at the end was annoying.

That's a woman in Love.
