I will mention three:

1. 1789 - A book by Olaudah Equiano. He was an Igbo boy born in Essaka in 1745. He was kidnapped and later wrote his story in London in 1789. In chapter one he described Igbo life, our food, our blue cloth, and how we pour libation before eating.

1. 1906 - Report on Ezza District by H M Douglas. He was a British officer who visited Abakaliki. He wrote that Ezza were very industrious, they made iron at Ogbo and controlled salt at Okposi. He said headquarters was Onueke.
2. 1921 - Among the Ibos of Nigeria by Rev Basden. He lived in Onitsha for 35 years and wrote about Ozo title, marriage, masquerade and new yam festival.

All these books are now in public domain and free to read if you search the titles on google.

I am from Omuagu in Ezza. My reason for posting is that I believe our elders in Onueke still know more than what is in these books.

Does anyone have old family story about Ezza before 1900?

Thanks.

He said such acts is the height of political foolishness. Read his post belowThe post 2027: The height of political foolishness- Shehu Sani tackles saintly presidential candidates who are not visiting Islamic clerics with mass followership appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

In his words, he said:

“As a man in Abuja, if a man has never asked you, ‘Bro,’ you’ve not hustle. Don’t ever make mouth like, ‘God forbid, Tufiakwa, never me.’ Pray.

Those people are not ordinary. Sometimes they might be tempting. One way or the other, they will manipulate you, or if that doesn’t work, once you eat or collect something from them, they’ve already brainwashed you.”

Identifying himself as a Fulani/Hausa man, he insisted that such encounters are real and urged men to be cautious when dealing with influential individuals.

He also warned against confronting or fighting such people, stressing the importance of keeping evidence of any interaction.

“If you’ve heard something like this, me as a Fulani/Hausa man will tell you it is real. And to those of you that will say, ‘Them never touch person father?’ Person wey you go beat, the truth is there are some people you can’t touch.

Whatever you do, let there be evidence, because they don’t leave single trace. But if not, they will make sure you land in Kuje Prison.”

His remarks have generated reactions online, with some viewers questioning the claims while others discussed the risks of rejecting advances from powerful individuals.

The man’s warning has drawn attention to his claims about influential men allegedly approaching other men in Abuja.

She said she told him she was not going to his house that night.

Sharing her experience, she said: “I once went on a dinner date with a guy, and after the date, he started driving me to his house instead of taking me home. I told him I wasn’t going to his house that night, so he pulled over and told me to order an Uber because he wouldn’t be able to drive me home.

He had spent over ₦180k on the date, and maybe that made him think I would automatically follow him home.

My Uber hadn’t even arrived before he drove off.” She suggested that the amount he spent may have influenced his expectations, but maintained that paying for the date did not mean she had to follow him home.

The lady’s account has sparked reactions online, with social media users debating whether spending heavily on a date should create any expectation of intimacy. While some questioned the man’s decision to leave before her Uber arrived, others stressed the importance of respecting boundaries regardless of how much was spent.

The incident has further sparked conversations about dating expectations, personal boundaries and whether paying for a date should ever come with conditions. Watch the video below… View this post on Instagram A post shared by WHOT Podcast (@whotpodcast)
