RE: ADSactly History : History Of Southern Nigeria [Part 2] - Igbo In The Pre-Colonial Era
He knew almost nothing about the Igbo. About the Igbo I only heard about the footballer Jay-Jay Okocha. It's good to know something new, thanks to this post. As in most primitive peoples, there are two versions of his creation. Generally, there are magical versions, transmitted orally and of which there is no greater evidence than the stories told to us by the elders. And like many of the villages, the elders are respected and are fundamental authorities when it comes to making decisions. What a pity that today, the people with the most power are not the wisest and most respected. As for Okocha, I always remember him as one of the most important figures in the imposing Nigeria that beat Argentina many years ago. Greetings, @samminator.
I was born in Igbo land and have spent a greater percentage of my life in Igbo land. I can say that Igbo culture is very unique and they have maintained a unique tradition.
About Jay-Jay Okocha (Pa Jay, as we call him here), he is a football icon and well respected in NFA.
I'm glad you have learnt something new from this post. Thanks for reading Nancy
