I have my maternal cousins who were born and breed in
Lagos. When we were little, during the
Christmas time, their parents will bring them back home to see our maternal grand
mum. As a village brought up I am, I used to see them as demigods as they basked
into the euphoria “oluwa ni eeeeh, oti clear…waaaaaa”. That’s a Yoruba head
cousin of mine in Igboland! I felt something was wrong with their parents for
not fixing up the heads of these cousins of mine on Igbo values. That’s a typical Igbo born Lagos breed. They understand that they are Igbo because
“our mama said we are Igbos”.
This simply means that the little knowledge of their
identities does not exceeds beyond what their mother told them on that very day
of storytelling which was few hours meeting. Do they care to research further
as to know what, how, and when they became Igbo? No!
Their fate of Igboness lays on the woman that exposed them briefly to
the knowledge of whom they are.
Regrettably, if the woman dies, that brings to an end, their Igbo
fate. Pity! No wonder in Lagos today, there are many
“Femi Chima Seun”. Yes, Femi by birth, Chima by my mama said I be Igbo and Seun
after my mama died.
What would you expect from such a fellow when it comes to
Igbo course, of course he would be worse than Efulefu Joe Igbokwe. Just the way it is!
WHAT OF WE THE “NNAMDI KANU SEY I BE A JEW”?
Recent developments have exposed in our midst, some crop
of Igbo men and women who though are not among the group of “my mama say I be
Igbo”, but are in the same mental flow with the above group. They got perplexed hearing of “Jewish state”
yet carrying on their male organ, the seal of Judaism which is
circumcision. Kanu said I be Jew group
are so funny that they opposed what their parents, nature, divinity and their
lives styles have proven, yet blindly carrying around the Jewish identities on
them. Hated for being Jews in West
Africa by their enemies but made to distance themselves from their Jewishness
by the same enemies.
Ask them just a simple question, “did your forefathers
circumcised before they met the white missionaries”? Without struggling, they
will say “yes”! Who taught them circumcision?
They will reply “I don’t know”!! OK, which people on earth do
circumcision on the eight day? Hear them,
“Jews”!!! So, your ancestors could practice such Abrahamic act even when there
is no historical evidence of them meeting anyone else other than the European
missionaries and you said they are not Jews.
Could this be a
case of mentally lost people? Is anyone restricted from making a research? Well
I understand how buying and selling coupled with hard hitting poor economic
conditions in Nigeria have distorted our minds and passion for
investigations. Because buried truths
must be unearthed, I will take it as a responsibility to take a video
documentary to places mentioned by our leader as historical evidences of our
Jewishness. I think such project when achieved could help some of us the group
of “Nnamdi Kanu sey I be Jew” to see shocking video evidences which the Islamic
Nigerian state and Britain don’t want you to see. Till then, remember that your Jewishness is a
matter of DNA.
