The Audacity of Igbo Civilization" delves into the rich tapestry of Igbo culture and its potential impact on global economics. This compelling book serves as a rallying cry to the Igbo community, especially those who resonate with the Aku Ruo Ulo philosophy - a guiding principle that advocates for the reinvestment in one's homeland. The author argues that if this philosophy is embraced and actualized, it could transform the southeast region of Nigeria into a bustling hub of international economic significance, fueled by the investments and ingenuity of the Igbo diaspora. This thought-provoking read is not just a reflection on cultural identity but a strategic blueprint for economic revolution.

The author presented his book Igbo Culture in a most convincing way by quoting expert opinions on most of the issues he discussed in the book. Through his carefully researched work and detailed analysis of facts, he showed in the book that Igbo youths working hard like their ancestors can reform Igboland into a new and better civilization by sifting the good aspects of Igbo culture into today's way of life. He started his book by making a brief reference to the possible migration route of Igbo ancestors from their earliest settlements in the forest region of Central Africa to their present-day settlement in Southeastern Nigeria of West Africa. He also made a brief reference to the development of the Igbo civilization through the period covering the Stone Age and Iron Age civilizations (pages 114). He painted a clear picture of the cultural background of the community where he was born and brought up and lived in for more than sixty years before he traveled to the United States of America. He traced the more than twenty-six generations-deep lineages, beliefs, concepts, customs, and history of Ihe Shikeaguma in Ntuegbe clan of Enugu State in Southeastern Nigeria as a sample core Igbo culture community. He also delved into the historical links and social formation of this community, with emphasis on genealogy, religion, settlement, language, government, law enforcement, defense, seasons, festivals, and residential structures (pages 1583). He took his readers to Igbo thought on God, self, family, human life, birth, death, spirit, human mind, and reincarnation (pages 85113). He clearly documented the cultural products of Igbo thought, which can be seen in the formulation of Igbo institutions with special reference to marriage, the extended family system, the social status structure and title system, festivals, informal education, traditional law, community service, religion, divination, and health-care services (pages 114202). He explained that the symbolism of various articles and some spoken words in Igbo culture are products of Igbo thought. He referred to ofo stick, kola nut, alligator pepper, spears, tribal face marks, body paint, white chalk, and the young palm frond as symbols or instruments of Igbo philosophical expressions and concepts (pages 203214). He showed how Igbo culture and philosophy have been affected by the cultures of Igbo neighbors in Nigeria and by other foreign cultures with special references to the following: (a) Ugwuele civilization (a Stone Age culture)1,000,000 BC500,000 BC (b) Nri civilization (a ritualized kingship system)AD 800AD 1700 (c) Aro civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 1850 (d) Border civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 800AD1900 (e) External civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 2000 (pages 215238) The author concluded his work by making an evaluation of Igbo culture. He carefully examined the oriented values of the Igbo and highlighted those areas of Igbo culture that should be refurbished and reinfused into Igbo life by the Igbo themselves in order to transform Igboland into a big theater of modern civilization (pages 239246).

Why is the Osu caste system, a form of discrimination, still deep-seated in Igboland? Are the civil and human rights of the Osu not being violated? How does the system affect global perception on Igbo culture and her civilization? The Osu Caste Discrimination in Igboland: Impact on Igbo Culture and Civilization, which is sequel to The Osu Caste System in Igboland: A Challenge for Nigerian Democracy, describes the pain, grief and agony of those groaning under the Osu caste system in Igboland. The system ascribes an inferior Osu status to the group and limits their social interaction, marriage contracts and relationship of love with the Diala. Consequently, their daily lives are tormented by the associated Osu stigma, which hinders their social mobility and progress. Any person reading this book should reflect critically on the issue and join hands to dismantle the system for justice, fairness and social progress.

Igbo Nation written by S Okechukwu Mezu and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-11-12 with categories.

Igbo Nation: History, Challenges of Rebirth and Development is a chronicle of the Igbo past, the challenges Ndi Igbo have faced across the centuries, how Igbos have survived discrimination, pogrom, genocide and how now they stand on the threshold of a new renaissance that will make their numbers and business, intellectual and scientific acumen manifest the world over. They probably constitute the single largest ethnic group in the world and geographically, Ndi Igbo regard Igboland as the center of the earth. Present state of Igbo studies and research tend to lend credence to the postulation that Ndi Igbo were part of the original inhabitants of the earth before their migration to other parts of the world as we know it today. A careful look and study of the world cartography shows that at the pristine stage of evolving creation [eri mgbe - time immemorial] the world was one single contiguous undivided mass of earthland with Africa at the center before the so-called continents of North and South America, the other islands (Australia, Arctic Region and Antarctica) floated away due to seismic upheavals. These floatings carried away some of the original Igbo inhabitants who then struggled and succeeded in surviving in sometimes very hostile conditions and became the dark colored inhabitants of the Americas, Asia and Australia and New Zealand. Many marvel at the coincidence of the name of the place of birth of Jesus, namely Nazareth ("small Naze") and the town Naze, five miles from Owerri in Central Igboland? In the works of two major Igbo scholars we see so much evidence of the place of Igbo culture and civilization within the matrix of human culture and civilization in general. The late Catherine Acholonu, an outstanding authority in pre-history, has, through the study of ancient languages and cultures shown how several elements of Igbo language and general culture find their equivalents in the language and culture of far-flung civilizations as those of the Europeans, Chinese, English, Hebrew, ancient Canaanite, Greece, etc. Similarly, in the ancient Igbo civilization depicted in Chinua Achebe's novels, particularly, Things Fall Apart, every other ancient civilization finds its own image. It is no wonder then that Ndi Igbo rank even higher than the Jews in being the true global citizens, found in every nook and crany of the earth, yet adapting as if that very part of the earth is their natural home. The JigSaw Earth Theory which we deign here to postulate believes that the earth was initially one land and a contiguous mass until seismic eruptions created the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers, separated the American continent, north and south, from mainland Africa and created the Mediterranean sea separating the European land mass from Africa, creating in the process also Australia, the Eastern Horn of Africa and the Asiatic continent. All the jigsaw parts put together can recreate the contiguous land mass that existed Mgbe Eri. The process transplanted some Ndi Igbo, the original inhabitants of mangrove Africa, to various parts of the present universe where they influenced the language and culture that developed in those areas. The Igbo language and people far from being on the verge of extinction are facing today an irrepressible renaissance. Ndi Igbo should look beyond Nigeria and Africa and see the world as their new theatre of operation.

In Genesis 1:27, "So God created Humankind in his image, in the image of God He created them Male and Female". Igbo is the short form of IGBODOANYA, IGBOSHIKWO, IGBOCHIDONKECHINYEREGá»Š, AND IGBOKWABA. These four-letter words, IGBO, were/are still the channel whereby humankind replicated/s the Lord God's creation from generation to generation after He created Adam, the first human. The words IGBODOANYA/to persevere, IGBOSHIKWO/to prevent, IGBOCHIDONKECHINYEREGá»Š/to protect what god gave you, and IGBOKWABA/to preserve are the primary builders as well as facilitators of the gametes""sex cells when fertilization happens in the fallopian tubes during the formation of humankind. The word Igbo is the representation of an indelible precepts of God's constitution as it relates to the creation of humankind. The four-letter words, Igbo, is the seal, legacy, and continuity of the actions of the spoken words that originated from Chinekengá»‹rá»‹ (Chinekengá»‹rá»‹ means the God that creates DNA) or in the popular short form, Chineke. Chukwu (Chukwu means Chiukwu), The great God. Chukwu is the short version of Chiukwu. Chiukwu or Chukwu Okike Abraham. Ndá»‹ Igbo/the Igbo people always call upon Chukwu Okike Abá»‹ama (Abá»‹ama means Abraham). Abraham is Abaraham in Igbo. (Abaraham means named after me). Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abá»‹ama means the Almighty God and Creator of Abraham and/or God, the Creator. Ndá»‹ Igbo/the Igbo people bá»¥ Ndá»‹ Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew). Ndá»‹ Igbo/the Igbo people are á»¤má»¥ Chineke/á»¤má»¥ Chukwu Okike Abá»‹ama/á»¤má»¥ God, and/or á»¤má»¥ Yahweh. The Igbo people are the special skilled builders of á»¤má»¥ Chineke or á»¤má»¥ Chukwu Okike Abá»‹ama, the Lord Almighty God. Adam was the only human the Lord God created on earth. It seemed most likely that the archangels, angels, as well as Ndá»‹ Igbo were in existence when Atá» na ime otu dá»‹ ngá» zá»‹, Chineke nna Onye Okike, Chukwu nwa Onye Nzá» pá»¥ta na Chukwu Mmá» Nsá» kere mmadá»¥ mbá»¥ (the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, the Lord God Almighty created the first human). The Lord God assigned to Ndá»‹ Igbo/Igbo people who were one of those that were around Him to always continue to perform His divine special tasks of creation for the benefit of humankind. The Lord God bá»¥ Agbara Ukwu. The Lord God kajara akaja. The Lord God jiri aka ya dá»‹rá»‹ onwe ya. The Lord God enweghá»‹ ishi mbido. The Lord God enweghá»‹ ishi ngwá»¥ria. The Lord God bá»¥ onye kere á»¥wa na ihe nile dá»‹ na elu á»¥wa. The archeologists, creationists, atheists, evolutionists, etc. believe that humankind originated from a single couple parent source. Therefore, there should be no such concept as the black race, white race, and/or human slavery. The purpose of the documentation is not to blame the colonial team who coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria, or praise the victims from the southern protectorates who had been dehumanized since 1914. The purpose of the documentation is to bring to the attention of the oppressors and encourage them to stop annihilating Ndá»‹ Igbo/the Igbo people indirectly. The oppressors need to develop the sense of oneness with the oppressed, according to Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abá»‹ama's plan when he created Adam. The Lord Almighty God did not create Nigeria. The British""educated female journalist and the colonial team coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria in February 1914. The indigenous people were not invited to participate in naming their country. The colonial team unilaterally had already carved out the African continent among themselves in Berlin at the conference that commenced in November 1884 and ended on the 26th of February 1885. The colonial team deliberately destroyed the empires and kingdoms that flourished in the giant African continent. This documentation shall help oppressors eradicate the idea of black race/white race and slavery. This documentation shall help oppressors step aside and allow the indigenous people all over the African continent to revive/restore their empires and kingdoms. The oppressors should cease and desist from supporting and supplying weapons to the nonindigenous herdsmen who exterminate the indigenous citizens of Nigeria. The colonial team crushed the indigenes of the southern protectorate in 1914 and enslaved them to date. The oppressed need to break the shackle of slavery and revive/restore their suppressed empires and kingdoms. Ndá»‹ Igbo/the Igbo people bá»¥ Ndá»‹ Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew) are not Slaves.
