The first living creatures to appear in what became Nigeria ,the HOMO ERECTUS were in southeast Nigeria. They later went extinct to give rise to modern humans. They are sometimes classified as proto-Igbos.

WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN IGBOLAND 40,000 YEARS AGO.....
(This is based on verifiable research work)

According to a research done by The African Genome Variation Project (AGVP) ,The AGVP
found evidence of widespread hunter-gatherer ancestry in African populations, including ancient
(9 ky) Khoesan ancestry in the lgbo from Nigeria"...I ky(kiloyear):1 000. So 9Ky:9000 years.
Another genetic Analysis found the Y chromosome of igbo genetic makeup which gives a
haplogroup EM2 predominace, with the time of origin being 39,300 years BP which puts it at
37350BC.With all these, we should not be in doubt that igbos have been on their land for
thousands of years.The archaeological findings scattered all over igboland, the acheulien
handex at ugwuele uturu, the Afigbo pottery findings all dating thousands of years also
supports igbo antiquity and evolution on their land.The discovery of these genetic make among
igbos and not on her neighbours, all indicate igbos were either the first to arrive in this part of
the world ,lived side by side with the pygmies who are said to have inhabited this part of the
world or there direct descendants.

Haplogroup E-M2,subclade-E1b1a1a1f1a (YCC E1b1a7) is the predominant Y-chromosome and Igbo genetic marker.

According to Montano et-al who conducted the research, He found that the E1b1a1a1f1a (YCC E1b1a7) is defined by marker M191/P86 and is distributed in Nigeria(igbos) Gabon, Cameroon and Congo. M191/P86 positive samples occurred in tested populations of Annang (38.3%), Ibibio (45.6%), Efik (45%), and Igbo (54.3%) living in Nigeria, West Africa.

The time of origin of groups with such DNA is 39,300 years BP(37,350BC) and period of Coalescence age is 15,700 years BP.

This genetic findings, together with the various archaeological findings of late stone age in Afigbo (3000BC),Ugwuele uturu further proves that ancient igbo ancestors evolved in their land ,inhabited within the numerous caves in Igboland from late stone age.The ancient evolution of Igbo ukwu culture (8TH-9TH century) which is centuries older than Ife and Benin attest to the ancient Igbo habitation,second only to Nok culture.

Archeological and linguistic sources suggest that foragers occupied Igboland during the Middle LSA (8000 b.c–3000 b.c.). The sources also affirm that some foragers from the Igbo area as well as from other parts of southeastern Nigeria, inhabited by the Bantu, had started to migrate in waves from their homeland to populate most of sub-Saharan Africa
between 5000 b.c. and 4000 b.c. Oral traditions of the early Igbo dealing with foraging are lost to memory. The Nri, for example, give faint hints of the foraging era by claiming that their mythical founder, Eri, descended from the sky to the Anambra River when yams and other crops had not been domesticated in the area. There are similar traditions of autochthonous groups who had occupied different parts of the Igbo hinterland in ancient times, saying that they “sprouted from the earth.” Their movements across the dense tropical rain forests were probably facilitated by “elephant paths.” Although the tradition of Aba town, for example, deals with a later period, it claims that the progenitors of the town, from northern Ngwaland, used elephant paths to migrate and settle near the Aza River. Hence, Aba is popularly called “enyi mba” (lit. the elephant town). The traditions and P. Manning’s study of human migrations suggest that riverbanks, seashores, and lakesides were among the early zones of human habitation in Igboland during the foraging era.Their strategic locations enabled foragers to sustain themselves with the resources of both the riverain and forest ecological zones. In addition, it was easier, faster, and safer for them to travel on the rivers than through the thickly forested areas populated by wild and dangerous carnivores.

Foragers possessed tools that enabled them to carry out their daily economic activities. They used Archeulian hand axes (egbugbu) for hunting, “woodworking, scraping skins, and especially skinning and butchering animals.”6 Other tools were traps (onya), and bows (uta) and arrows (aku) for hunting and for defending themselves against carnivores. Their tool kits also included sharpened sticks (mbazi) for hunting and for digging up wild growing yams (adu), cocoyams (ede inyamkpe), and other root crops. Those who lived near riverbanks manufactured nets and boats made of reed and tropical bamboo rafts for fishing.

For those shouting Igbos migrated from Israel,sorry to disappoint you,Igbos are aboriginal Africans that evolved in their land.And even if anyone came from Israel or elsewhere, they came and met Igbo ancestors on ground and inter-married .

Hello everyone,
If I am to file for my sibling as a US citizen, please, how long will it take for her to receive her immigrant visa?

Around 16 years. I'm on F4 waiting list. I've been in the queue for 9 years now. Still have around 7 more years to wait.

United Nations peace keeping mission is department of Peace in UN that helpS countries torn by conflict to create the conditions for long lasting peace. They also stop government institutions like police, army , and other government force and security department from using force on unarmed civilians. Recently we saw United Nations peace keeping mission equipment’s heading to Biafra land through Edo, and some people have raised concerns.
We don’t need to be scared about the coming of United Nations, they are far better than the presence of Nigeria security. We must not see UN as enemy for now. The Nigeria government will try to stir fears in you to see the coming of UN in our land as ploy to kill us, that is far from the truth … Besides we have been calling UN to come and help supervise Biafra referendum ……. See their coming into Biafra land as process of our call for their intervention. I won’t like to stretch more on that…..

UN is not our enemy and we should not see them as enemy. Bear this important part in mind…UN won’t stop IPOB from protesting peaceful, they are not coming to give you Biafra either, they are neutral in their assignment their main purpose is to maintain peace and order. Listen up now! I am saying this for emotional Biafrans that will start trusting UN to give you Biafra …They are not coming to give you Biafra and they are not coming to stop our agitation to restore Biafra .

The only people that will restore Biafra is Biafrans …………They are not part of your agitation for Biafra …They can only help secure your peaceful protest. Anything violent they won’t allow it. They won’t allow government security operatives to use force on unarmed civilians that is mostly their mission, To maintain peace and order ……
You need to understand this part also
..any country United Nations, deploys its peace keeping mission, it means that country has broken down , rules of law and order has been terribly violated by such country . There are other sensitive issues that I don’t want to touch so as not to jeopardize their mission .. One thing you need to have in mind is that, Nigeria is now a failed state, rights of civilians can no longer be guaranteed hence the deployment of UN peace keeping mission.

bukazema:
Myright plz,help me and answer this questions
1 Will 200k be enough for feeding and other expenses for 4months
2 How much do agents charge for visa processing
3 Will 1.2million be enough for the whole process
4 How do I apply for a refund of flight ticket ?If, I book to and fro and how long does it take the airline to refund it
5 How much is school fees for msc (public administration) in phillippiens college of health science

1. Feeding only: 38k per month.
2. You don't need an agent. You only need someone in the Philippines to process your documents there and send to you via courier.
3. Which process (stage)? Be specific.
4. You will send your siblings with an authorization letter to the airline office here in Nigeria to process the refund. The process is very EASY.
5. It depends on the number of subjects you enroll for for that semester. In my school (private university), a subject is around 50k.

I hope these help

missidy:
No please, it is hard for students. Choose where you can study and work.

international students are not permitted to work.

Sirlancelot:
school

Their school fees is relatively cheap. I paid around 450k per session at the private university I attended for my masters programme.

Sirlancelot:
bro does philipines really worth after all?.i have a friend who just got there this January on student visa and he just enter Vietnam straight away. He says i should bring 300k forms admission at his university. I am going for masters. So boss,Philipines really worth the stress from your own point of view?

are you going for hustling?
