Ooni of Ife, 25 African Americans for Anambra Eri festival The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi and about 25 African Americans from United States are expected to be in Anambra state for this year’s Eri festival in Enugwu Aguleri, Anambra East local government area of the state. The traditional ruler of the community, Eze Chukwuemeka Eri who disclosed this on Monday to newsmen at his palace, said the event scheduled for Saturday would also attract other dignitaries from all walks of life. He said the visiting African Americans were among 200 black Americans who have traced their root to the Igbo race following DNA test. The monarch added that the visitors would be taken to the Aganabo Ezu n’ezu Omamala Confluence to pay homeage to Eri, the father of the Igbo race. He said, “We have received over 200 African Americans who traced their root to Igbo. They come in batches every year. ‘This year about 25 are coming; the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi would also grace the Eri festival. “The visitors will be taken to the Aganabo Ezu n’ezu Omamala Confluence to pay homepage to Eri, the father of the Igbo race”. Earlier, Chairman of planning committee of the event, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka said the festival offered Ndigbo opportunity to retrace their root and unite with their ancestors. “Igbo people inherited travelling from their forefather known as Eri who is said to have migrated from Israel and landed at Aganabo Ezu n’ezu Omamala River Confluence.” He assured that all had been put in place including maximum security to ensure a hitch free ceremony. https://thenationonlineng.net/ooni-of-ife-25-african-americans-for-anambra-eri-festival/ 9 Likes 1 Share

Hmmm. Who have traced their origin to Igbo via DNA test. Laughing in Swahili. So, what's the ingredient in Igbo DNA? Kudos to the cultural reawakening by the traditional ruler of Enugwu Aguleri. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

For crying out loud!whats wrong with our head?1st they say Yoruba founder is from Mecca called Oduduwa. What about the people in the land before he came? I smell slave mentality. In the same vein telling us Igbos founder is from Isreal. how can that be? when there were people in ibo land before him too. Whats wrong with all this unconfirmed history with no backup whatsoever? Im open to be corrected pls cos we learn everyday. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Why are we not earning big money through tourism? We could have been the most powerful nation on Earth, we had almost everything, even our weather has always been loyal. My fear now is that, is there ever going to be a solution, are we even going to be happy someday? 1 Like 1 Share |
