    I am constantly answering African Americans that insist the Igbo are the Ancient Israelites or Hebrews. Where do this channel stand on this issue? They now, even though there is much information against it, have had the Obadaya Alliance Sephardi Jewish organization announce that the Igbo are tied to the ancient Israelites. With all your contacts and informationm whst Is your understanding of the idea??

    Please the concept of “Azuka” is not talking about literal “back,” as opposite of “Iru” (front or future), rather it’s about your “human support system.” Because in Igbo tradition, we believe that one’s human support system (those behind you) is superior to one’s individual wealth.
    Hence the full phrase is “Azukaego.” Literally, your “back” (network or support system) is more than (superior to) money.
    A better example of the concept of Binary/Duality in Igbo tradition should be plain “Iru” and “Azu,” “elu”/enu and “Ala/ana,” male and female etc. Thanks 🙏

      In Igbo tradition differences is not a problem at all. You’ve already spoken of binary and duality. The issue we have is using differences as an excuse to perpetuate or propagate injustice, unfairness and lack of equity; this is the issue we have with British Nigeria. We believe that there is strength in diversity, so far there’s equity and fairness

    The Balkanization of Africa, colonialism and neocolonialism reduced Africa to your so called “children’s race,” by taking original African nations away from the Indigenous peoples, and handed these lands and resources to Colonial puppets (not leaders), hence the lack of leadership structure you spoke of.
    We MUST decolonize Africa/Nigeria, bring down colonial structures and constitutions before we can see progress and development in Africa
