Image adopted for Eri If our senses of judgment is right, what do we say about who fathered who, seeing that Egyptian civilization began in 3700 B.C. and the arrival of Jacob’s family in Egypt marked the beginning of the “The New Kingdom”, not The Middle let alone The Old Kingdom; but the latest iron smelting in Nsukka was rated 4000 B.C. and beyond; is Nsukka older than Nri?  Or are we to believe that Igbo-Ukwu is older than Nri since the excavation result of  T. Shaw shows evidence of “Spreads of charcoal dating to the eleventh and seventh millennium before our era” respectively, (Igbo Ukwu , 58) . Eleventh millennium from the first millennium AD is equivalent to 22,000 B.C. while seventh millennium from AD 0001 is equivalent to 14,000 B.C. you will read more surprises as you proceed. If Igbo-Ukwu, Awka and the youngest of the Igbo ancestors, the Nsukka, should be older than Nri, then I will accept the Israeli Eri deception. Should Nri refute this betrayal of birthright; then th

The etymology of the name Nsukka is traced to no other people than the very people who speak the language collectively termed “Nsukka”. Its lexicography is traced to the history of the settling of the Nsukka ancestors in the days of the beginning. Remarkable among the host of the vast Igbo speaking dialects, or better put, language as a people with a set of lexicon that differ from the various types of the same Igbo spoken by Nsukka predecessors, Nsukka was seen as a different people in the fold of the Igbo consort.   Therefore, they were formally called “Nsukka” following their different linguistic features. The linguistic condition that characterised the naming of Nsukka the very name the inhabitants today speak of was founded on the fact that the version of Igbo language spoken by the ancestors attested distinctly that the superiority the inhabitants are immersed in proved clarity in their tongue. When Nsukka ancestors arrived like other ancestors of the Igbo race, Eri (The first ma

When Amazon had need for the image in one of my essays in 2018, they wrote officially requesting an approval note to permit them to make use of the image. Here is an IGBO admin who has signed himself to plagiarism without remorse. With joy I applaud the works you are doing here to propagate our history as IGBO. I am happy especially that someone elsewhere has this same burden that has consumed me, trying to make our history known to the entire globe as the people who first existed on this planet. But sir, permit me to say that two factors are discrediting the beautiful job you are doing here. These two factors are not only dangerous to your firm as a writer, but also deadly to the credibility and authenticity of our history as a people. The factors are: plagiarism and unsynchronized affirmatives. In writing, we say that one plagiarizes when he shares, lifts or copies another person's ideas, opinions, papers or books without acknowledging the referenced source. In the opinions of co

O ut of the four foundational homes of Igbo land, Awka is the only population that did not establish a civilization uniquely denoted for her craft. We can vividly speak of Nri civilization, Umudiala civilization and the Nsukka civilization; only Awka did not have this feature. All that one can find about Awka antiquity are her contributions in the sisters' civilizations. For instance, the art for which Nri civilization is known today was the exceptional act of Awka; the pyramids that characterized Nsukka civilization in one aspect was exceptional Awka. It is also worthy of not, that Awka was particularly behind the success of the civilization before the flood at the Lost City of the Sun. Awka is one of the oldest settlements in Igboland, established at the centre of the Nri civilisation, which produced the earliest documented bronze works in Sub-Saharan Africa, around 800 A.D. and was the cradle of Igbo civilisation at large. The  liest settlers of Awka were the Ifiteana people, th

So many prophecies had been said about Biafran exit from the stop-working country called Nigeria. But the turning of the vicious circle and preparedness of the waning country to let the Biafrans path must have been divine mandate; it can't be ordinary. Back then in 2011, as a corps member serving in the Yoruba land of Ondo State, a staring issue led me to telling colleagues: Gregery (a Tiv), Razak (Awuchi Edo State) and Sherif (from Nasarawa) that Biafra will come and it will not be through gunshots. I told them that the coming of Biafra shall be necessitated by the non Igbo. Wonderful, 9 years later the Igbo are told finally to go home. The videos and written news trending on the social media today is particularly on the IgboExit. The voice was obvious and the chant was vehement enough to tell every Igbo that he is a stranger in Nigeria, South or North no difference. The statement says: "Go Back To Igbo Land And Build Your Own Lagos. Lagos Belongs To The Yor

Copied from: Cosmic Chain by Onyeji Nnaji I n the Igbo cosmology, the word Isee is a definite symbolic word as revealed through the Igbo language and culture. A human being has five fingers, five toes. The hands and feet are fundamentals to the survival in life as they are necessary in ensuring that man moves to places where he gets food and grapples on the food to sustain his life. To this view, the rhetoric that binds vocatives in the form of incantation (anchoring on the heart-lock: four ) and the concomitant reprisal in the manner of affirmation that holds the human life bind to his original spiritual person, therefore defining existence and essences are unified by the corresponding echo: Isee!!!!!  Therefore it stands that anytime a prayer is said in the Igbo land, the attendants who would want the fulfillment of the prayer unanimously affirmed the prayer by saying Isee! Five then becomes the language of the spirit, the language of the creator that indicates agreement to, no
