In Igbo land Leopard is rate and seeing as king of jungle cos Leopard can survive in any condition you put it, it can survive in the rain forest, desert, it can even climb very high to catch its prey, it can even swim(hunt)just to catch its prey, its courage and adaptability in tough situations made ndi igbo to rate leopard over lion,

Lion being the king of the jungle is English cultural worldview and never Igbo.

In Igbo worldview, ọdụm (lion) is never perceived as the king of the jungle.

So when you are thinking about Igbo using English prism, you are confusing yourself.

Brief history of the Igbo origin.

Eri is said to be the original legendary cultural head of the Umu-eri groups of the Igbo people.

Eri established a community in the middle of Anambra river valley (at Eri-aka) in Aguleri where he married two wives.

The first wife, Nneamakụ, bore him five children.

The first was Agulu, the founder of Aguleri (The ancestral head of Eri Kingdom clans) (the Ezeora dynasty that has produced 34 kings till date in Enugwu Aguleri), the second was Menri, the founder of Umunri / Kingdom of Nri, followed by Onugu, the founder of Igbariam and Ogbodulu, the founder of Amanuke.

The fifth one was a daughter called Iguedo, who is said to have borne the founders of Nteje, and Awkuzu, Ogbunike, Umuleri, Nando and Ogboli in Onitsha.

As one of the children of Eri, Menri migrated from Aguleri, which was and still is, the ancestral temple of the entire Umu-Eri (Umu-Eri and Umu-Nri).

His second wife Oboli begot Ọnọja, the only son who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.[1]

Eri is the founder of the Umueri and Umunri clans, both of whom were some of the most influential and powerful dynasties of priests and diviners in Igboland and adjacent areas such as the Bini and Igala/Idoma areas. [2]

This is Eyiduru Nwajagwu house, built in 1758 by the Portuguese before the coming of the colonial masters.

Eyiduru was a slave merchant, he ruled the Nsukka zone, Benue and some parts of Kogi. He married several wives. When the colonial masters came, he appointed two men from his area that ruled as warrant chiefs. They are Attama Nwamba and Odonwaokolo.

Eyiduru's House is made up of 9 rooms with 2 sitting rooms.

Breaking News !!!

On the 24th day of the 10th month in the year 2021. A black African man from Igbo Naton in west Africa , called Mazi Uba Acho discovered a Lake in Leicester East Midlands of England. This newly discovered Lake by Uba Acho shall be called Iyi Ojemba.

Just as Mungo Park discovered river Niger in Nigeria. A river Ogbaru, Anam and Onitsha people and ancestors had been fishing in and swimming in long before the great great grand father of Mungo Park was born. But hey! Mungo Park travelled over six thousand miles from Scotland in 1795 and discovered it.

Just as David Livingstone travelled thousands of miles in 1855 to discover Zambezi river in Zambia and Zimbabwe also discovered a waterfall which he named Victoria-falls. Of course all the people, tribes and communities in Zimbabwe and Zambia, who have been hunting, farming, rearing their herds in that area for centuries were all blind they couldn’t see such water bodies. Until a Scotish man came from Britain to discover it.

And up till today these are still in our African school curriculum, still being taught our children. And you wonder why we have adults and leaders who take no pride in being African. And what you have no pride in, you can’t value, what you don’t value, you can’t cherish, what you don’t cherish, you can’t preserve nor develop.

So today, I Mazi Uba Acho have discovered this Lake and named it Iyi Ojemba. Put it on record, teach it to your children.

Ndewonu 🙌🏿

Finally Russia 🇷🇺 have made their stand on Africa matters very clear to the world.

In an updated foreign policy document which is now available for the general public, Russia would take drastic steps in consolidating its position on the global stage, strengthen its relations in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Russia would particularly fight against growing neo-colonial tendencies, which it considers a threat to development, in Africa.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the updated foreign policy document which was complied and presented by the Ministry of Foreign of Affairs. It outlines the main parameters and the key regions as well as contains the strategic directions on the basis of drastic geo-political changes in the world. It demonstrates Russia’s drive for the development within the framework of the multipolar world.
It introduces the notion of Anglo-Saxon countries, and that relations with them will be built “depending on the degree of their readiness to abandon the unfriendly policy towards Russia and respect its legitimate interests.”
The document says Russia stands in solidarity with the African states in their desire for a more equitable polycentric world and elimination of social and economic inequality, which is growing due to the sophisticated neo-colonial policies of some developed states towards Africa.
“The Russian Federation intends to support further establishment of Africa as a distinctive and influential center of world development, giving priority to supporting the sovereignty and independence of interested African states, including through security assistance, inter alia food and energy security, as well as military and military-technical cooperation,” the document reads.
Russia stands in solidarity with the African states in their desire for a more equitable polycentric world and elimination of social and economic inequality, which is growing due to the sophisticated neo-colonial policies of some developed states towards Africa, according to the concept.
Russia intends to focus on supporting African countries, including in the area of security, food, military cooperation, according to the updated document.
Russia intends to support the establishment of Africa as a distinctive and influential centre of world development. Its priority here is Russian-African cooperation in various spheres on bilateral and multilateral basis, primarily within the framework of the African Union and the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum.
Andrey Koshkin, chief of a political sciences department at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, argued that “Africa as a whole is reorienting, they want to interact with China and Russia, which makes Western countries nervous,” and under the current conditions, Moscow should “not only be capable of building relations, but offering new forms of coexistence as well.”
The document states that Russia will build its relations with other countries depending on what policies these countries pursue toward Moscow. It will defend its right for development with all means at its disposal in light of the drastic geo-political changes and the emerging multi-polar world order. President Vladimir Putin endorsed the new foreign policy document on March 31 and now becomes the official working document of the Russian Federation.

What goes around turns around....

Senator Oji Uzo Kalu good morning sir, I just want to remind you sir that South East is not yet ready for Senate President.

We need to mend fences with the other tribes before we start talking about Senate President.

Thank you and have a nice day senior man

After watching 2023 Nigeria's election, I am still wondering the reason Nigeria is still living together as a country.

Nigerians hate themselves so much, but find it difficult to separate peacefully.
