FTC after how many unsuccessful attempt on this space.

I dedicate this FTC to all lovers of development and Ebonyi people.

Truly, Gov Dave Umahi is God-sent to Ebonyi and SE at large. 4 out of 5 Igbo States now have an Airport. Very commendable.

Ebonyi, from old Latin meaning 'black wood'.

Ebony is the anglicized version of Ebonyi.

The region referred to as Ebonyi today in present day Nigeria was a hunting ground for Jewish slave traders who dealt with the Arochukwu slave raiders.

The Jewish slave traders described their cargo as black wood which were piled up against each other side-by-side in the hauls of their slave ships.

Naah.

OP said airport, and I said unknown .

We are not saying the thing.

Ikwerelastborn:
Youre a confused man obviously

AntiBalaka:
Ebo is shortform of Ebonyi aka Black wood.

Just like the Yaribanza who got their name from their Fulani masters, you Ebos got your name from your Jewish slave masters.

Black wood cargo = Ebonyi = Ebo = Igbo
