In Igbo horsetails are typically called "nza". Do you know any alternate names or significance for it?

Caribbean carnivals are a direct descendant of Igbo masquerades. These are our people, who survived through some of the most violent inhumanity in recorded history. And still maintained their Africanity. Who taught you that anything that looks "too African" is demonic? 👀

WTF are you saying? There’s nothing I have to ask about A man painted in all black kissing a wig headed skeleton. This is demonic/satanic.

African-American Igbos After finding out their Igbo ancestry they are welcomed with Igbo names This is so beautiful! 💛🖤It's so important that our culture and language lives on so we can share it with future generations and with those that had it taken away from them. Ndeewo!

Bishop TD Jakes is Igbo.🙌🏿 He gives me strong Igbo elder vibes. You them uncles with the deep voices that always sit at the high table and if you don't greet them it's long.😆



There are so many Igbo disapora groups offering everything from religious groups to language classes to sports clubs. It's honestly inspirational. A sense of community is a key trait for any culture that wishes to survive the 21st century.
