Ada-Igbo, Sandra Ifechi takes us aback to the January, 1855 evergreen narrative of John Brown,"Slave Life in Georgia: A narrative of the life, sufferings, and escape of John Brown a fugitive slave now in New England." John Brown was a descendant of Igbo, the son of Joe and Nancy.

Sandra Ifechi extracts the second paragraph of John Brown's narrative to draw to attention, the spirit, strength and resilience of Ndi-Igbo.

Enjoy...

John Brown's second paragraph: "I believe my father and family were bred on “Benford's plantation”. His father had been stolen from Africa. He was of the Eboe (Igbo) tribe. I remember seeing him once, when he came to visit my mother. He was very black. I never saw him but that one time, and though I was quite small, I have a distinct recollection of him. He and my mother were separated, in consequence of his master's going farther off, and then my mother was forced to take a second husband. She had three children by my father."

Sandra Ifechi's submission: "The Trans-Atlantic slave trade & the Biafran war of self defense are the two most devastating historic events in Igbo history. Both events changed Igbo society. Over a million Igbos were enslaved & up to 3 million perished during the war. It is impressive that Ndi Igbo are still one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. Did someone say 'they tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds!'

"According to history sources, many slaves were taken from the Ibo people because they were the strongest for the work on the plantations in the New World, although they were the most stubborn and deviant which explains the “Igbo landing”, where plenty Igbo slaves held their hands together, singing ,in chains and walked into the ocean. They wanted to go back home. Igbo history is remarkable and inspiring. Amidst what was done to us in the Biafran War, over a million lives lost, buildings destroyed, refusal to allow any Igbo in government, cutting their money in the bank, and reducing all IGBO people after the war to the lowest level in the civil service, our people are still Strong and Resilient."

While you identify with the truths in the information and contents from this Moniker...don't forget the source is Igbobia.com...the Pan-Igbo forum that reveals real facts about and discusses the Igbo people.
