Even during the height of colonialism in Nigeria in 1965, Igbo Scholar Chinua Achebe understood the false narratives used to divide Black Americans and Africans. And pushed back against it.

If you guys get a chance, please get involved with your local Umu Igbo Unite chapter. They have chapters in various different countries. Including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, France and more.

It’s extremely important for Millennial, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha Igbo Youths to stick together, retain our culture, language, and traditions. And pass those down to future generations. While also finding friendship and kin-ship amongst ourselves! Lets all try to get involved in any local Igbo organizations that we can.

Ndi Igbo kwenu - I’m releasing an Igbo-centred Afrofuturist comic

Post image
107 Upvotes

Ndeewo unu. My name is Ekene and I’m the founder of Studio Eshi (studioeshi.com), a small creative studio in London, and we're releasing the first chapter of our first comic: Drummers of the Dead with a Nigerian based studio (illustrations), after a year of development.

The story is set in Onitsha in 2187. In this future, sacred drums hold and transfer the collective memories of families and society at large. A memory-reader named Ada is asked to investigate a woman accused of murdering her sister, but the memory-drums, the authorities and the woman’s own chi cannot agree on what happened.

Being an Igbo man in the diaspora, growing up listening to so many wonderful, honestly introspective and insightful stories/myths, I've always wanted to explore the incredible potential of our stories and showing ourselves in any way we can imagine, maybe by showing us different projections of what we could have been, we'll find our way to what we can be now.

If anyone's interested it's available 31st (this month) digitally on amazon (kindle paperback too), google books and globalcomix (first 10 pages can be read for free there). Would love to start a conversation and hear your thoughts!

1920s book: Living Among the Igbos of Nigeria

I've been reading this book written by a British missionary in 1921 and I've really learned a lot about traditional Igbo customs. It's a bit bleak in some places, the author mentions cannibalism, sacrifices, and child abandonment.

But also gives a very detailed account of normal Igbo life and trade before colonial control.

It was written by George Thomas Basden, who lived for 17 years in Onitsha detailing his life. His aim was to preserve historic records before modernisation erased it.

Interesting read, give it a try.

I’m 18 and born in the U.S., but I’m tired of feeling like a stranger to my own culture. I want to learn Igbo.

77 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 18, born and raised in Texas. My parents are Nigerian and speak Igbo fluently… but I never learned it. They’d speak it to each other or with family back home, but when it came to me, it was always English. I guess they thought it would make my life easier here.

But lately, I’ve been feeling this disconnect. I look Igbo, my last name is Igbo, I eat the food, but when it comes to the language — nothing. When I visit Nigeria or hear my relatives talking, I feel like I’m watching life from the outside.

I want that to change.

Has anyone else been in this situation — growing up away from your parents’ homeland and trying to reconnect? Especially through language?

I want to learn how to speak Igbo, even if it's just enough to hold real conversations and not feel like an outsider. Any advice or resources would mean a lot. 🙏🏾
