There's a common phrase amongst the Igbo people that goes, "Igbo enwe eze" (Igbos have no king). Proud to be both Igbo and truly American. #NoKings

In 1803, the Igbo Landing became a bold act of defiance, where enslaved Igbo people chose death over slavery. Their resistance contributed to the fight against oppression and the brutal legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. 172 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

About a year ago, I took a DNA test (out of curiosity). I'm 98% African (75% specifically "Nigerian", mostly Igbo as expected since I’m Igbo, 20% Yoruba, with a dash of Kenyan (Luhya), + a smaller dash of Sierra Leone (Mende). The other 2 percent is 1% Italian and 1% Eastern Slavic. I'm black AF, 🤠.

Not to mention all the cultural contemplation because Zelu is both Igbo and Yoruba...& her mother talking about coming from a polygamous royal Yoruba family & her father being very proud and vocal about his Igboness. And the Igbo robots in LAGOS, Nigeria and...wtf were you reading, my dear reviewer?

OMFG THE RIGHT WING OBSESSION WITH “AFRICANS WERE ACTIVE IN THE SLAVE TRADE”!!
“Africans” didn’t collectively sell themselves into slavery because they didn’t see themselves as Africans. They were Igbo, Fulani, Kongo, Mali. Nations.
Just like slavers were Portuguese, Spanish, English.

Wonderful to hear the Gospel read in the languages of our Diocese: English, Spanish, and Igbo at #DioNJ25. Today St. Peter’s Igbo Church moves from mission to parish status!

My Nigerian ex gave me her jollof recipe so my Igbo siblings will always have the w for that one.
Every conversation about something African is one step away from starting a jollof war.
