@oku_yungx I'm not a bro, but learn a digital skill. That was how I went from 80k to 7 figures. No, I don't sell classes or coach people, but a sharp skill will help you grow your earnings in a way you won't believe.

We just received a N10 million donation from Sterling Bank as an advance commitment towards 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
In total they will be giving us N60 million towards prizes only.
You can see it here isee.ng/public-ledger/…
They also supported us with N7.5 million for the South East Educators Conference at ICC Awka.
If you are in the South East please ensure you have a functioning sterling bank account. Use it, use it, keep using it and tell others .
We have a partner in Sterling Bank.

Another fact about Igbo culture for you "emergency Igbo culture custodians".
Before colonialism and Christianity, there were no surnames. Children were known by their FIRST NAME and MOTHER'S NAME.
For example, if your name is Chibuike and Your mother's name is Mgborie, you were called Chibuike Nwa Mgborie.
Why was it so? Because in Igbo culture, the child is seen as belonging to their Mum.
Also, back then because most men were polygamous, it made more sense for children to be recognized by their mother's names father than their father's.
It was Christian missionaries who introduced the concept of surnames and then instead of retaining the mother's names as the surname, switched it to be the father's name because that was their own practice.
Even till date, people might refer to you as "Nwa (insert your mother's name)"
Surnames are a "new" and foreign concept for Igbo people.
If this upsets you, yet you claim to love your Mum, you are a fool indeed.

@ronaldnzimora Shut up old man, it's not true. My mother is buried in my dad's compound in the village. In Igbo tradition a woman is buried at her husband's place except the man didn't complete her traditional rites or they weren't married traditionally.
English

Wrong. That is not Igbo culture.
In Igbio culture, when a traditionally married woman dies, her PATERNAL HOME from where she was married is where is will be buried.
I know this because my paternal grandmum was burried in her father's compound, my father's siters were buried in our compound, and others.
Christianity and the reluctance by children to bury their Mums outside their homes changed the culture, so now women are buried in their husband's home and it is now done symbolically via a ceremony called "Ibu/Idu Ozu".
At least so it is in my place.

In Igbo culture if you are traditionally married to an igbo man, his home is where you will be buried. She also holds an igbo tittle Lolo anyanwu ututu. Where I’ll disagree is saying she’s more Igbo than someone with an igbo origin who grew up in Lagos and can’t speak Igbo.

@De234Genius Igbos are not talking about him being a Muslim despite the fact that they hate Islam. They just want to use him to annex delta north into their terrorized region south east. He has failed because he’s too small to impose madness on people
