Fact Checked: IGBO UKWU WERE NRI SLAVE; Origin and History of Igbo Ukwu - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the,  Accounts of Igbo Origins and History  from Beginning to Present by Onyeji Nnaji T.C. Shaw’s archaeological finds dominated historians’ writings about Igbo Ukwu in the manner that almost none gave attention to issues bothering on the history of Igbo Ukwu. The inhabitants also, overtaken by the conviviality that the finds brought, seized the opportunity to conceal their history. It was though a thing of surprise to historians and archaeologists, witnessing the finds that upturned the hierarchy already bestowed on the Ife and Benin over their Igbo neighbour. It did not only upturn the hierarchy, it forced history to resume a rewriting stage with Igbo at the top. It all begun with the stupefied discovery made by Isaiah Anozie within his compound. He was digging a well when he accidentally stumbled on some bronze ornaments. The ornaments looked strange to him, but little did he know that he was dwelling in a compound with bronze library underneath. Concentratin...

The Historical Origin of Abakaliki - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the,  Accounts of Igbo Origins and History  from Beginning to Present   by  Onyeji Nnaji Details are in the book mentioned above. Not much has been discussed about the population that formed the Nodo of the later days. The reason for this may be blamed on two varying factors. One, it appeared as though the population went into extinct during the flood, thereby concealing their name from the reach of historians. But this was not true. They too survived the flood, but not in their very abode. The second reason is that the population showed themselves relatively unsearchable following the heavy restrictive features of their languages. I have discussed the negative effects of this condition in my other book when I noted that, “The reason why some important historical movements and local evolutions go unnoticed or remain doubtful is because the unit on which the transmission is calculated is geographically too restrictive.” The geographical location of Nodo is...

Origin of the Word, 'AFRICA' - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
So many false history have been given about Africa and her composite societal populations for years. We have taken these false narratives because Africans hardly find adequate time to deeply research and unravel the deception propagated by Western historians. Many source on the internet, mostly of African sources, have it that Leo Africanus was the one who gave Africa her name or that the word, Africa was derived from Africanus. But there is no iota of truth in it. As baseless ass Adam laying the foundation of humanity on earth is the same way the claim that Africa was derived from Africanus is so irreparably empty and vacuous. One thing we will learn from this work is that the name Friday had been there before the days of Africanus. Again, that it was Africanus who derived his name from the already existing Africa. The deepest truth was that Africa was not circumscribed this. The reason is very simple. All the nations in Africa; call it Igbo, Yoruba, Benin, Dogon Timbuktu Egypt etc. A...

Reconciling Asadu and the Nsukka History of Origin - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
S ometimes I find it very difficult to understand what could be the reason behind certain characters found among scholars, especially scholars of history in Africa. Every history scholar who had written in the 1980s and yonder had this character of repudiating every view that suggests that his language and cultural group could originate from among another African settlement. That is why a Yoruba man, after listening to his oral tradition , would still say they originated from one unknown place in the middle east. The same thing applies to the Benin who knew that it was Eze Nri who used to coronate Oba of Benin, yet they claim Egypt origin and elsewhere different from Igboland. In this essay I shall lead our readers through different hidden information about Ndigbo and then clarify issue concerning Asadu and the Nsukka Origin. One thing I found in my study of prehistory is an unexplainable disdainful consideration of the Igbo race by both the Igbo themselves and the race of people arou...

Origin of the Anioma People - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Including Ahaba, popularly called Asaba, Anioma people are all the Igbo speaking people in Delta State, Nigeria. They are made up of communities which span across 9 Local government areas and speak different varieties of the Igbo language. Their distinct languages includes the Enuani language, Ukwuani language, and the Ika-Ibo language. The farther you go away from Onitcha after the Niger bridge and heading towards Agbor and Benin city, the deeper the dialect. For it is evident that the more interrelated and geographically connected to people in the boundary is the more one's language is being influenced.  This goes the far to explain, without recourse, how the culture that patterns the human language is being influenced by the things that comprised the cultural environment. One finds this prominent in the differences among the variety of the Igbo version spoken by the different Anioma communities. For the more the distance away from Igboland is the more adultrated their dialects b...
