THE Igbo people of Nigeria : JEWS OF AFRICA

In a White House memo dated Tuesday, January 28, 1969 to President Nixon, former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger describes the Igbos as “the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation”(foreign relations document, volume E-5, documents on Africa 1969-1972).

Kissinger's description aptly portrays the Christian Igbos and their experience in Nigeria. Over the years, the Igbos have been the victims of numerous massacres, that they have lost count. Most of the violence directed against the Igbos have been state sponsored. One can say that the Igbos knew how to spell “state sponsored terrorism” before the rest of the world did. The state sponsored terrorism directed against the Igbos in 1966, led to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra by the Igbos and subsequent civil war. Over two million Igbos died in the civil war, primarily by starvation. One will not be wrong, if they call the Igbos the “Tutsis” of Nigeria. Today, an Islamic terrorist Conglomerate led by the dreaded Boko Haram are still slaughtering Igbos and other Christians in Northen Nigeria. Igbos have always seen themselves as a bulwark against the spread of Islam to Southern Nigeria, and as a result, a perennial target of Islamic zealots.

However, the Igbos are one of the largest and most distinctive of all African ethnic groups. Predominantly found in Southeastern Nigeria, they number about 40 million worldwide, with about 30 million in Nigeria. They constitute about 18% of Nigeria's population, with significant Igbo populations in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Ivory Coast. Igbos predominate in five states in Nigeria-Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia. In three other states- Rivers, Lagos and Delta, they constitute almost 25% of the population.

During the slave trade, Igbo slaves were known to be the most rebellious. Most of the slave rebellions in the United States, Haiti, Jamaica, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana were led by Igbo slaves. In South Carolina, Igbo slaves were reported to have drowned themselves, rather than be kept as slaves. Today that place is called Ebo Island in commemoration of the slaves who died there. The Gullahs are Igbo. Igbos were one of the 13 African ethnic groups that provided the bulk of the slaves who were brought to the Americas. Majority of the slaves who ended up in Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Maryland, Arkansas, Mississippi, South and North Carolina and Georgia were Igbo. An Igbo museum has been built in Virginia to honor the contribution of Igbo slaves to the state. One of the Igbo slaves who was sent to Liberia by the American Colonization Society-Edward Roye- became the fourth president of Liberia. Another Igbo slave, Olaiduah Equiano wrote the famous slave chronicles.

During the colonial period, the British disliked the Igbos, because of their supposedly uppitiness and argumentativeness. During military service in Burma and India, the pride of Igbo soldiers amongst other African soldiers was proverbial. In the company offices and orderly rooms, the first few words from the White officer speaking to an Igbo soldier was followed by “don't argue, you! Or “you want to be too clever”, and similar expressions. Their expressive and aggressive mentality which they enjoy in their culture at home, does not always allow them to accept false charges or accusations without responding. The late famous writer, Langston Hughes, observed “the Igbo looks proud because he is bred in a free atmosphere where everyone is equal. He hates to depend on anyone for his life's need. He does not mind if others look proud. He has much to be proud of in his land. Nature has provided for him. He is strong and able to work or fight. He is well formed. He is generally happy in his society where no ruler overrides his conscience. He likes to advance and he is quick to learn. He likes to give rather than take”.

Culturally, the Igbos are a very diverse group with different clans, families, subcultures, and subgroups. However, the customs are similar with local varieties. Although there are disagreements about the origins of the Igbos, there is a consensus that they originated from Nri in Anambra State of Nigeria. The language of the Igbos is Igbo or Ibo. It is one of the largest spoken languages in Africa, with Hausa and Yoruba. Igbo speaking people are divided into five geographically based subcultures-Northern Igbo, Western Igbo, Southern Igbo, Eastern Igbo and Northeastern Igbo. Not as urbanized as the Yoruba, they live in multitudinous villages, fragmented into small family groups. They do not have hereditary chiefs like the the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani. Every Igbo more or less is his or her own master. The Igbos operate the “Umunna System”, which emphasizes the patrilineal heritage, rather than the matrilineal. Some of the important Igbo cities include, Onitsha, Enugu, Umuahia, Aba, Asaba, Abakaliki, Owerri, Nsukka.

In commerce, the Igbos are a mobile, vividly industrious people who have spread all over Nigeria and Africa as traders and small merchants. In countries like Gabon, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Gambia, Igbo traders predominate in retail trade. Most Igbos are clannish, despite their individualism and hold closely together in non Igbo communities. They are often very unpopular in the communities they live in, because they push very hard to make money and often dominate the retail business in alien communities. In his book, the Brutality of Nations, Dan Jacobs describes the Igbos “as ambitious, dynamic and progressive people whose education and abilities did not endear them to those among whom they lived. Even during British rule, there were massacres of Igbos in Northern Nigeria-in Jos in 1945 and in Kano in 1953. The Igbos have acquired the sobriquet, Jews of Africa”.


Education is highly emphasized and given priority in Igboland. Converted to Christianity by Catholic, Anglican and Presbyterian missionaries, they took up self improvement with such enthusiasm, that by the 1960's, the Igbos had the highest percentage of doctors, lawyers, engineers, physicists, and teachers than any other ethnic group in Africa. Because of the abundant educational talent in Igboland many newly independent African nations recruited them to fill vacancies in their civil service. The first American style university built in Africa was in Igboland-the University of Nigeria at Nsukka. Its founder, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a graduate of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. The Igbos and the Yorubas are the most educated ethnic group in Africa.

Politically, the Igbos are very effervescent and volatile. According to author Dan Jacobs “for Britain and for the British civil servants who continued to work in the Northern Region, the Igbos have always been a troublesome element in the federation, a people with a democratic tradition who are not easily controlled. Many British were glad to see them out of a central position in the federation, as were those who had driven them back to their homeland and those who now held the civil service and other jobs they had left”. The Igbos had been the most ardent advocates of a united Nigeria. Upon independence in 1960, an Igbo, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe-American educated- became the first President and Governor General, while another Igbo, Aguiyi Ironsi became the first indigenous military chief. Leadership of most of the elite universities in Nigeria were also occupied by the Igbos.

Following the military coup of January 1966, which the Igbos were accused of initiating, Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo, became President and Supreme Commander of the armed forces. Tensions rose very high in the country resulting in the massacre of Igbos in May 1966.

NDLEA Arrests Nine Suspected Drug Traffickers In Kaduna State.

Officials of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) have arrested nine suspected drug addicts and hawkers, seizing illicit drugs worth over N30 million from them in Zaria, Kaduna state.

Speaking to press men at the state's command headquarter; NDLEA State Commander, Samuel Azige, said that the suspects were arrested during a raid at their hideouts in Zaria where they stored the illicit drugs in a warehouse.

He noted that preliminary investigations revealed that they stored the cartons of banned Tramadol drugs, weighing over 500g, inside a warehouse from which they sell to ready buyers.

Azige explained that the drugs, apart from being banned by World Health Organisation, had also expired and have therefore become harmful for human consumption. He then added that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded as they have constituted nuisance by engaging in all forms of vices in the area.

BREAKING: Militants Bomb Trans Forcados Export Line Hours After Buhari Met With N'Delta Elders

A state-run oil pipeline near the southern Nigerian oil center of Warri was bombed by the suspected Niger Delta militants on November 1, the Punch reports.

A security source and community leader said the line was down just hours after President Muhammadu Buhari met with representatives of militant groups in the oil-rich region to discuss how to end the unrest plaguing the region.

However, no group has yet claimed responsibility for this attack.

A security official, who asked not to be named, said: “The attack was carried out with the aid of dynamite and it is coming less than 48 hours after the resumption of operations at the flow station.”

Dickson Ogugu, chairman of Batan community where the pipeline is situated, confirmed the development, adding that a surveillance team had recognized the place of the attack.

“The entire river is flooded with contents from the damaged trunkline and we are at the receiving end,” he said.

The line belongs to the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC) and receives crude from Batan near Warri. Several militant groups, including the Niger Delta Avengers, have attacked oil facilities since February, reducing the nation’s output and hammering incomes.

The groups claim to be seeking a fairer share of Nigeria’s multi-billion-dollar oil wealth for residents of the region — as well as greater political autonomy. Following peace talks in Abuja chaired on November 1 by the leader of the nation, junior oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu said the country’s oil production was returning to normal.

Nigeria usually produces around 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), but output fallen to a low of 1.4 bpd this year due to rebel attacks. The pipeline was attacked in July and had only resumed operation at the weekend following repairs.

Admiral Kuznetsov Carrier Group Saved Syria From US Cruise Missile Strikes

© Photo: The Norwegian Armed Forces Middle East 15:43 02.11.2016(updated 17:43 02.11.2016) Get short URL 32181301053 Moscow's decision to send a fleet of warships, led by the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, to the eastern Mediterranean may have saved the Syrian military from getting bombed by the US, according to military expert Vladimir Evseev. Speaking at a press conference at the Rossiya Segodnya news agency press center in Moscow, Evseev, the deputy director of Russia's CIS Institute, pointed out that Washington had only recently considered the possibility of attacking Syrian government forces, using the pretext of a UN report which alleged that Damascus had used chemical weapons. "We recently lived through a very important milestone which many people did not even notice," the analyst suggested. "Why was the question raised of the Syrian Army's alleged use of chemical weapons? The stage was being set for [US] ship-based cruise missile strikes. According to some reports, such a decision was in play…[Western] public opinion was actively being prepared for it." Pyotr Veliky nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser © Sputnik/ Vitaliy Ankov As Russian Ships Complete Passage to Med, Moscow is 'Surprised' by Western Buzz But the entry of a major Russian flotilla, led by the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, into the Mediterranean may been the essential element needed to cool the Pentagon's appetites, Evseev added. "The presence of our ships [between Algeria and Italy] excludes the possible deployment of a similar NATO naval group in the area. Factually, our ships have closed Syria off. The Russian ships did not appear where they are by accident, and eliminated the possibility of launching cruise missiles from that direction." The analyst also recalled that earlier, S-300 systems "were deployed in Tartus" with similar goals in mind, given that they are "capable of addressing not only air-based threats, but ballistic targets as well." Last week, the contents of a leaked report submitted to the UN Security Council blamed the Syrian government for a chemical attack in Idlib in 2015. Damascus vehemently denied the charges, citing the terrorists' own regular use of poison gas. Moscow, meanwhile, stressed that more serious evidence would need to be presented before such serious accusations could be leveled. Why Does Media Cover Up War Crimes of 'Rebels' in Aleppo? The US and NATO allies, already engaged in a campaign to demonize Syria and Russia over the fight for Aleppo, used the report to pile on to other charges that Damascus and Moscow were responsible for 'war crimes' in their operation to liberate Syria from armed militants and jihadists. Commenting on the military situation in Syria, Evseev suggested that together with the liberation of Aleppo, the Syrian military and their Russian allies must make it a priority to surround Nusra Front terrorists in Idlib. "The terrorists must be destroyed, but most likely a process of squeezing them out will take place," he admitted. If forced to leave Idlib, "the only place for them to go will be Turkey. And here, I would recommend that our Western partners, who currently advise us how to fight in Aleppo, take a moment to think about what will happen to the Idlib militants who end up in Turkey," the expert noted. "From here, it's likely that they can then be expected to pay a visit to Europe. This is what Western nations should be thinking about, instead of putting a spoke in the wheel and doing everything possible to interfere in the operation to liberate Aleppo and other Syrian territories." As far as the situation in the city of Aleppo is concerned, Evseev stressed that "if we continue to wait and prolong humanitarian pauses, there will be no people left in Aleppo. Without air support, losses are too high. It's necessary to free the city quickly, and to think less about the West thinks about it." ... 1053 Related: As Russian Ships Complete Passage to Med, Moscow is 'Surprised' by Western Buzz West 'Engulfed in Panic' Over Russian Naval Group Heading for Mediterranean NATO 'Playing Mean Tricks' Amid Inability to Pressure Russia Over Syria NATO Acting Like an 'Organized Crime Group' Over Russian Carrier Group Moves Syria Sends 2 Letters to UN Reporting About Using Chemical Weapons by Militants Moscow Condemns Chemical Attacks Carried Out by Terrorists in Aleppo Russian General Staff Appeals Directly to Militant Leaders to Leave Aleppo A Tale of Two Terrorist-Held Cities: How the Fight for Aleppo and Mosul Differ Russia Delivers About 7 Tons of Humanitarian Aid to Syria Tags: Admiral Kuznetsov, geostrategy, geopolitics, Russian Navy, Vladimir Evseev, Idlib, Syria, United States, Russia, Mediterranean Sea, Aleppo

Commenting on the military situation in Syria, Evseev suggested that together with the liberation of Aleppo, the Syrian military and their Russian allies must make it a priority to surround Nusra Front terrorists in Idlib. "The terrorists must be destroyed, but most likely a process of squeezing them out will take place," he admitted. If forced to leave Idlib, "the only place for them to go will be Turkey. And here, I would recommend that our Western partners, who currently advise us how to fight in Aleppo, take a moment to think about what will happen to the Idlib militants who end up in Turkey," the expert noted. "From here, it's likely that they can then be expected to pay a visit to Europe. This is what Western nations should be thinking about, instead of putting a spoke in the wheel and doing everything possible to interfere in the operation to liberate Aleppo and other Syrian territories." As far as the situation in the city of Aleppo is concerned, Evseev stressed that "if we continue to wait and prolong humanitarian pauses, there will be no people left in Aleppo. Without air support, losses are too high. It's necessary to free the city quickly, and to think less about the West thinks about it." ... 1053 Related: As Russian Ships Complete Passage to Med, Moscow is 'Surprised' by Western Buzz West 'Engulfed in Panic' Over Russian Naval Group Heading for Mediterranean NATO 'Playing Mean Tricks' Amid Inability to Pressure Russia Over Syria NATO Acting Like an 'Organized Crime Group' Over Russian Carrier Group Moves Syria Sends 2 Letters to UN Reporting About Using Chemical Weapons by Militants Moscow Condemns Chemical Attacks Carried Out by Terrorists in Aleppo Russian General Staff Appeals Directly to Militant Leaders to Leave Aleppo A Tale of Two Terrorist-Held Cities: How the Fight for Aleppo and Mosul Differ Russia Delivers About 7 Tons of Humanitarian Aid to Syria Tags: Admiral Kuznetsov, geostrategy, geopolitics, Russian Navy, Vladimir Evseev, Idlib, Syria, United States, Russia, Mediterranean Sea, Aleppo
