''Before English there was Igbo. Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel''

Igbo kwenu! I always feel like crying whenever I see teachers or parents flog their children because they were speaking Igbo language. They want their children to speak English not knowing that the English they want their children to speak was borrowed from Igbo. Do you know that there are more than a thousand words in English, French, Latin, Hebrew and other languages that were borrowed from Igbo Language. Did I just hear you say ''na lie'' ? Ok. Because of space, let me only give you 25 English words stolen from Igbo language. If you need more, you can contact me.

Ubi in Igbo language means GARDEN or FARM. Ubim means my GARDEN or my FARM;Che means guard.
Cherubim= Guard my Garden or Farm.
Remember that God installed The Cherub (Cherubim) to guard the tree of life at the Garden of Eden.
op your are great!

Genesis 3:24 says, “He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.”. According to this verse, only one side of Eden was guarded—the east side and you find the Igboman in the EAST!

Chere= wait, stay, keep watch
Ubim= my GARDEN or my FARM
Which ever way you look at it CHERUBIM in Igbo language simply means Keeper of my Garden ( as in Garden of Eden )

Get small sense na abeg.
