ezeagu:Why? We aren't Igbo anymore. The Igbo mainly influenced our language, food, dance etc. Of course other Southern Nigerian ethnic groups influenced Jamaicans and Bajans as well. I'm proud to have Southern Nigerian ancestry! |

BlackKenichi:I'm not saying they should build a colony, lol, just a museum piece like this to honour the thousands of Igbo people who contributed to the island. If Virginia can do it, why can't Jamaica. http://www.frontiermuseum.org/exhibits/1700s-west-africa/ Even the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool (where a good amount of slaving voyages who both enslaved Igbo people and also took the most Africans to Jamaica and other British colonies originated) has an Igbo compound to honour the Africans taken to British colonies. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/ism/collections/africa/igbo_compound.aspx 1 Like |

ezeagu:I suppose Jamaica could do that. Infact Jamaica should do that. Igbo slaves resisted by running away (The Igbo had the highest slave runaway rate out of all Africans) but I digress. I would love too see an exhibition of Igbo weaponry |

Exactly. If we only knew the expression used by that local community to describe that, then we would effectively have an indigenous name/expression for all other similar structures (like bleachers). |

ChinenyeN:The picture is from 1930, there are several kids there, some who may still be alive, so it wouldn't be impossible to find out if someone did their research. 2 Likes |
