0:34 gas mask terriffic, pretty cool

[papagedenibobey]

If you look closely at Igbo masqurade you"ll see basis of B Boy break moves .

[Nnfefe]

The British call it Enugu instead of Enugwu as Ibo is to Igbo

Please focus on the bigger picture

[xvmario]

next year my uncle is going to make me a masqerade.

[chiefwaski]

Very good vid indeed. The pictures may have been recent,but the idea is well conveyed. Very proud people. Keep up the good work. I am also proud to be an Igbo man.

[adikiny]

Following the path of the ancestors. Preserving the Igbo Culture, Language as well as Igboland.

[yaamoke]

Iam not nigerian,I am from Congo.But this is esthetically fantastic.Igbos should promote young designers who will draw their inspiration from their own traditions

[stunmama]

For crying out loud it is spelt IGBO. Ibo is the western spelling of the word. If one is gonna stay true to the igbo tribe, at least spell the word correctly sheesh!!!

[africcafooolife]

[jantamanta]

It's the same thing my brother.(Ibo/Igbo)

Ebele/Ebere, Okolo/Okoro, Ekene/Ekele,

Obiora/Obioha, Efi/Ehi, Atulu/Aturu e.t.c

Colour/Color, Mum/Mom, Check/Cheque e.t.c

[NativeOfAfrica]

LAwyers will be lawyers.\

jantamanta, i see ur point, however, this is a difrnt case from the pronounciation of tomato, the pronounciation of egbe must be right ortherwise, u cld b tlking of a gun or a hawk.

Maximum respect to wulfichan for making this video and also for updating the title from ibo to include Igbo.

5 stars for the uniqueness of composition.

[jantamanta]

ONE LOVE! MY BROTHER.

[fayahsoul]

Because there is evidence that the egyptians possessed advanced technology; there are depictions of air crafts on the temple walls.

On the other hand, that mask may have been used to secretly preserve the memory of our extraterrestial origins.

[zatknight777]

NativeOfAfrica:- exuse my ( Igbo )spelling in advance.You make a very good point how the dialects have some words that mean totaly different things.My mother is from Illah (should be Allah) Delta North near Asaba ( Ahaba ). She grew up in Owerri. Now in her dilaect buttocks is 'ike'. But when she was in Owerri, she said they will say something like "ike kara gim" as a greeting or something. Again my spelling is probably wrong. In her town people thought why say my "ass is greater tham me"..lol

[zatknight777]

jantamanta : well written. I could not have explained it any simpler or better. Igbo/Ibo share the same culture with some differences but we understand ourselves.

Does anyone know about the exodus from the Benin kingdom towards the East and I think stopping at Onitsha. I will post more once i get the dates and names and Ruler. Anyone heard of EZECHIME? Adila298 i think Okpanam dont quote me..maybe ask your dad is part of Ezechime. Chime fled Benin Kingdom towards Delta North.

[NativeOfAfrica]

I will urge you to check ur facts, the pictures must be from 1970s or even 80s.

You see, before 1960, there were few color fotos in Nigr, there was sepia tone and black and white. also the gas mast is also evidence that the villagers had contact with an air force aircraft which had crashed,

so, it must have been collected after 1970 and couldnt have been used until 5 to 10 yrs after 1970 for fear of govt repraisal.

[Wulfichan]

Sorry about that. I just threw this together and took what date was on the website. >_>;;

[fayahsoul]

Yeah that air force aircraft head gear caught my attention too. We igbos claim that our founding father(Eri) descended from the sky. This myth is not unique to the igbos; many other indegenous groups claim same. Though our conventional history says we are descendants of Eri who was one of the sons of jacob and that our settling in the southeast nigeria could be traced to the exodus. This doesn't necessarily contradict the myth.

[nathyokoro]

@NativeOfAfrica you are wrong. Look at the coaltar it was not in the 1970,s after the war. It is close to 1959 no doubt.

[mgbo0415]

i dnt knw if anyone noticed the roads..no pot holes! do u get my point?

[mgbo0415]

[deccbi]

[jantamanta]

check this out...mom/mum...check/cheque..­..color/colour....ibo/igbo....­do y'all follow so far?

[MamaEzi]

This is amazing

[Wulfichan]

Thank you. =)

[NativeOfAfrica]

The video is ok, there is also a masqurade wearing a pilots high altitude breathing mask, this is probably from a dead pilot from the massacre of our people btwn 1966 and 70. Ibo is a bastardisation of the word IGBO , the British couldnt pronounce Igbo, so they called us Ibo, try it with a non Igbo speaker, and most will still fail to pronounce Igbo, they will say IBO.

[bolajiutube]

My word! Thank you for this piece of information. I see the rationale in the explanation and will run it by my Igbo compatriots. Thanks again.

[screwston281713]

i wus wus wondering y it wus igbo

[NativeOfAfrica]

Ikechi, pls, be corrected, Igbo is the nation, Igbo is the language. Igbo, kwenu..Ka odi ubochi nta anyi achua na owelle Nchi.

[zatknight777]

Damn I feel so ashamed with this dialect. I find i can understand when listening but reading words is what i want to improve on. Can you give me a translation and correct mine. This is what i understand in general. Igbo uplift yourselves, the way it is, ubochi? the little we do. achua na owelle Nchi? I dont understand. But I find in Delta North Aniocha and Oshimili my understanding is very good. Anyway saw your other videos I like them. Keep posting. God bless you.

[Wulfichan]

Thank you for informing me. That was a mistake on my part. ^^;;

[grafikdon]

I don't think so. Igbo is IGBO,there's nothing beyond that. Anyway like I said,I love the vid,just a little turned off by the word 'Ibo'.

[Wulfichan]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[bolajiutube]

Way to go, Lisa. Inspiring. Good job! Do a search for my videos, I think you'll be inspired as well.

[Wulfichan]

Thanks a bunch!! I'll go take a look at your channel now. =)

[grafikdon]

Nice but why do you have to use 'Ibo' instead of IGBO?

[Wulfichan]

Glad you enjoyed it! =)

[nnanyereugo]

That was nice. Thanks!
