As you did it with somebody else's wife, somebody else will most likely do it with yours, and even be the father of your wive's children. It is called karma.

[b] (IN IGBO TRADTION)



1.An igbo male must be circumcised on the 8th day.This has been so from memorial times. According to some historians nobody knows why.It has the authority of custom and is the binding proof of the igbo-Hebrew relationship.

2.The right of circumcision is universally practice among the igbos and rigidly regarded the igbos but nobody knows why.It has the authority and custom (OMENANA)

3.If there are forty million igbos,at least eighteen million are male.We can say confidentially that all are circumcised,and on the 8 day that would make the igbos the largest body of people who have persons circumcised on the 8 day,but besides all the igbo males that are circumcised on the 8 day millions of non igbo nigerians have began to circumcised their sons,in emulation of igbos...


HOW IGBO CHILD IS NAMED

1.Some scholars have said that the igbo child is named on the twenty eight day after it's birth some said is on the 9th day.Actually an igbo child may receive name on the very day he or she was born or any other date agreed with the family of the new born baby.As with ancient Isrealwhere naming of a child was a communal/kindred affair,so is with the igbos...

2.By tradition he should give the child a name(the one chosen by the father).The next person to provide a name for the child is the mother.The gran parents will also give the child names.Every person among those that gathered is also entitle to give the child a name.

3.After that the family elder will ask for quiet and start praying to chukwu (Great God).He begs Him to remember and consider the good deeds of the newborn's ancestors and use them to guide and protect the child through life.When he finish praying and praising pleading and supplicating ,he will seal the prayer by smacking the ofo on the ground and everybody will intone on the chorus Ihaaa or Isee (Amen).From that moment feasting and general merry making start and start showering gifts and present to the new born mother..Like in the Hebrew igbos may give a child name that connotes with an experience that they pass through for example Hanna called her son Samuel because she had asked him of the lord.Abraham and sarah named their son Issac because God use him to give them laughter and joy.

4.My Igbo name is (chibuike) which means God is my strength,people should do more studies about the igbos and who they really are...mainly none igbos[/b]
stop linking igbos with jews... It irritates big time.

tomakint: @Op, I have always been on this position about the Igbos for sometime now (being a Yoruba man from Ondo State) and I can tell you that you captured the true nature of the Igbo race imaginatively well.....they are just very interesting to be with. One thing I find repulsive about them is their nature (though not in all of them) "to speak in their dialects whenever someone from another tribe is in their midst" (though I am now getting used to it). They are more united than we (other tribes) thought.
All three major ethnic groups of nigeria are guilty of it. Thats if, its in itself a crime.

That is why they collect your money, build businesses and houses and you would come to beg for work. They employ you and you use the salary to pay them rent! Who then is the fool

Documented by who? My ancestors never told me of any relationship btw the igbos(of africa) and the jews(where are they from sef?). Don't fool yourself, there is no form of kinship btw white and black... except that we are all humans.
