    Omg! Chief Vera I like all your contents, as a matter of fact they come as a notice to me once they drop, this particular episode really toched my soul I was literary emotional throughout. To be honest and factual, I was sober, sad and happy at the same time; sober when I realised how far we have deviated from our root, sad when I'm remembered of the sufferings our ancestor passed through during the Biafra war, sad about the calibre of our contemporary igbo political leaders
    But I'm very happy when see the zeal, passion and effort people like you and Iheanyi are puting maka ihe ndi Igbo. Jisikwanu ike.
    By-the-way, this episode made me to comment for the first time in your channel😃

      I truly appreciate your comment.
      Irregardless of national politics there everything else from Nollywood, Nigerian pop musicians and vids like this on UA-cam are giving us a good image of Nigeria and strong desire to connect.
      For sure the spirit, intelligence and enterprise of the Igbo people I find incredibly attractive and I will make it my business to connect with Igbos here as well as travel to the south east of Nigeria.

    I am just wondering if you are confusing Michael Iheonukara Okpara, the former Premier of the Eastern Region of Nigeria with the renowned World Wrestling Champion who is widely known as Power Mike. M I Okpara is easily one of the most illustrious Igbo who ever lived. A protege of the revered Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, he is the man who presided over the great progress achieved in the Eastern Region before the Biafran war.
    I like this content, though. Keep it coming.

    Great initiative and admirable efforts in promoting the education of both young and people of igbo descent on the enviable heritage, language and culture of the Igbo race! However, the only thing that doesn't correlate with the promotion of Igbo heroes is your elevation and immortalization of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Now that we know what a horrendous traitor he was duing the Biafran war, going as far as advocating for the cessation of humanitarian aid from France in order to force his own people to suffer death from starvation in millions and eventually sign a truce! This is the only hindrance from my willingly sharing and promoting this video and I hope you'll address and correct this significant error.
    On a different note, I feel the camera person did this great video a huge disservice by not zooming in on some of the items you described such as the Ojukwu letter, the Biafran currency, etc. More power to you and your team!

    This is very "POWERFULL" Did you hear what he said about Booker T. Washington. He's from the Igbo tribe; which means that many Black a.k.a Africa Americans are Igbo. These people are the real ancient Hebrew Israelites. This is the truth and everybody knows this. I am "GULLAH" from Charleston South Carolina. "GULLAH" is a Hebrew word which means ancient Hebrew Israelite. My family look just like these people. We all know about the transatlantic slave trade 1619. Here's very strong evidence 🧾. Kum ba yah/ Kumba- yah a.k.a. negro spiritual. A Hebrew word which means; come over here or exist/ existence. I love educating myself, I prosper so much in life, just because of this. There's never enough knowledge in ordinary books at the best Universities. The most precious acknowledgements/achievements
    are alway hidden.
