Isibidi speakers may be related to Igbo just as they are related to cousins South and North around them. But to completely hijack it by non-speakers is the same as calling Ijaw Igbo, Edo Igbo, Lagos Igbo, Abuja Igbo.

When will we stop claiming credits that belong to others for ourselves whether you are Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo?

Minorities deserve their own credits as Efik or Ibibio.

And ur point is?

Many Igbo communities bordering Akwacross and within Present day IMO and Abia like Aro, Ohafia etc practice the Leopard cult system, fattening room culture as well as the nsibidi writing. These are shared culture between both groups.

Op don't die just yet cause, Igbo's still have more surprises cooking with the nsibidi cause they are taking advanced steps to make it more intelligible. so try again with your hate... the nsibidi is just one of several other shared culture.

Many Afonjas today wear and claim the agbada which they have no links or connections with and you don't see any one crying about it, so why cry when Igbo is trying to promote a shared culture between them and the Akwacross region.

I didn't care until you brought Afonja into the matter. You borrowed the culture and there is no problem with that. Nsibidi has no meaning in Igbo. However, it has a meaning among the Ejagham which you borrowed it from. The traditions you listed were all borrowed from the Cross river people. It's alright, just an example of cultural diffusion. In the Western axis you have Igbos who have adopted some Benin culture. It's a shared culture, however it's still borrowed nonetheless.

Nigerians always getting worked up over unnecessary shii.

.

And it is always Ibibios and Efiks complaining about this stealing, abi na hijacking.

The actual innovators (the Ejaghams) no dey talk o.

Thank you, you have now gone from Igbo invention to shared writing.

The insibidi speakers and writers spoke before they wrote. That credit of sharing with their neighbors in Nigeria does not give Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba neighbors they shared it with, sole claim.

FYI, fattening is not peculiar to Aqua-Cross alone. In Onitsha we have Yoruba and Edo speakers blending into Igbo.

I was equally surprised at the relationship of Aqua-Cross with Hausa until Attah became a governor. Should Hausa claim him solely as theirs?

Children of IgboUkwu that existed before
Europe and America are today clinging to new world as Jews. People that immigrated from Europe recently.

May the God of Africa cure our complex, the rejection and choice of our neighbors.

Engaging you will be a total waste of my time, in as much as i would have love to educate you, you sound too dumb to understand anything, first what is aqua-cross? do you even know what the fattening tradition i was referring to is? and why state that it is not peculiar to akwa-cross alone when i already mentioned people whom practice same tradition with them? show me where igbo ever claimed invention of Nsibidi? igbos only proudly promote it.

and hey you little man of low self esteem who sinks with the mud, no one is claiming nsibidi instead it is been promoted and credit duly given to the originators.

so Mr OP i hope you see why i cant engage you in foolery numbskull

borrowed or not it has become part of our culture like some of ours have become theirs too.. so don't kill yourself over petty issues mr. afonja

Mr. Coolitempg,

Abeg cool your temperature nah. You see how I respect you and answered you? No name calling. Only people without reasoning, logic or adversely informed resort to name calling instead of coming with sound discussion.

Anyway, gradually you have come to terms that Igbo only "promote" Nsibidi not claiming it. That is all I need. But people know when Igbo promote what is not theirs, they own it!

As international developers, you have promoted many cultures, cities and towns. The goal here has been accomplished, tell your brothers and sisters claiming it; Nsibidi is not IGBO!

People who do not want to learn should not stand in the way of people who do. Some people are just afraid of being left behind. It takes a village with all kinds of skills and talent to raise a child.
