Ebonyi State is the aboki of Igbo land. They are not Igbo in culture and behavior. Let them go their own way. We don't care.

The expedition that reached Igboland was the 1832–1834 Niger Expedition, led by MacGregor Laird and R.A.K. Oldfield.
Sponsored by the African Inland Commercial Company, it used the steam vessels Quorra and Alburkah… the latter a pioneering iron paddle-steamer.

An 1832 description of Obi Osai, the Obi of Abö at its height, c. 1820s-1844, by Macgregor Laird and R. A. K. Oldfield.
115 years ago, two masked singers in Agulu performed Ọgụ Mmọnwụ into a phonograph. Purely in the muffled ọnụ mmọnwụ tone.
That recording still exists. You're hearing our ancestors now.

Some of the strongest voices in Igbo history belonged to women.
In 1929, thousands of women across southeastern Nigeria rose against colonial policies in what history remembers as the Aba Women’s War.

Understanding this past helps us separate spirituality from exploitation, and build an Igbo future based on truth,not silence.
History is not to shame us. It is to guide us.

@Lord_Of_Warri This book published in 2014, advances the author’s theories about ancient migration & cultural interactions.

Proper labeling is step one. Bringing them home is step two. #IgboHistory
@Morris_Monye Watching this brings tears to my eyes. The sheer joy and relief in the voices of our ancestors celebrating freedom is unmatched. Ikemba’s eloquence and conviction gave an entire nation hope when they needed it most. History must never forget. 🙏🏾 #IgboHistory #NeverForget
