Content Summary

Igbo is not dry land, tree or mineral oil. Igbo is the expressed character, conduct and life of the Igbos. When the Igbos slacked; they slump. A music usually danced clothed, if danced naked implies madness. The Igbos should check and review their conduct and approach to justice; the world is not new. Character is the vent of life. If the Igbos do not know how life changed for them, it is that they have lived absentminded of their custom. If it is really about hunger, have the Igbos stopped being hungry and what is making them ever hungry? Who has ever fully satisfied hunger with corrupt and ill-gotten things? If it is about wealth, have the Igbos become wealthier? Is there anything that fills the gap and soothe than custom? Custom defines character, what is Igbo without its customs? When your land becomes infertile of its usual crops signal curse; can the Igbos recognise the arm of nemesis?

Igbo heritage embraces anything Igbo. It is character reference of Igbo. As in defining a people, the characteristics of Igbo include the people, behaviours, customs, relationship, landmarks and environmental equity. As represented in Igbo social structure (The Igbo: The Afrikan Root of Nations chap. 2), Igbo has no earth deity; Chineke is Igbo head and foot; hence, no one does anything and hides away from Chiukwu. Igbo hailing from the seventh generation from Adam is the only race that has complete knowledge of custom from God. Chi1-Chineke2-Chiukwu3 is monotheistically metamorphic and not susceptible to the Trinity, which is for those learning God from Greek Olympiad culture. Chi is not divisible, supplementable or over-reachable. As Chi metamorphosed to Chineke and Chiukwu, Chi develops to any life and growth culture4. He is; he made; he rules what he made; this is what man inherited and should be doing as the image of God. Anything that distracts this is evil.

Igbo Heritage
As you would have known5, Igbo is the only race that started early to customise and personate Chiukwu. In the oldest written account (the Bible); Igbo emerged from seventh generation from Adam. According to Dr Meek, Igbo was anglicised Hebrew which is nothing without etymological and customary evidence. When Hebrew thoughts were distorted by Greek (331BC-AD325), we took foreign and tend to miss the foundational culture. Greece wrote Lamech (Lemechi) and Adah but Greek etymology has no ?ch? and challenged with Adah, it brainstormed to Eve but Adah continued in the lineage of Esau; thus, reminding of struggle to prevail but naturally snake does not swallow another snake. For whatever reason of Igbo confusion and dwindling, a true believer in Chiukwu knows where his strength, might and help come. No people borrow ?Chi? from another people because it is developmental. What we shall see more is when a people go wrong, Chineke removes his face from them. Whosoever God removes his face from is in darkness or hell. Chineke has no replacement. In dealing with Chi/God, what we see or shall see more is as people fiddle or pretend to swallow pig or try to shadow others, often Chineke does not allow his just children to be swallowed; hence, Greece did not swallow Hebrew. We find colonialism in that way; meaning that the approach was wrong. The ancestors expressed this thus: Agbawo Dike Izu; hence, Jacob?s taking what belonged to Esau busted ominously to nothing eventually. Who else is like Igbo in the Royal Diadem of Chiukwu? Remember: live and let live is an equitable doctrine. Heritage is invisible; in this work, we shall demonstrate the consequences of wrong population management, poverty, greed and ignorance. No writer has written God before but derivatives of his relationship with generations. Thus, the best for God-fearing generation is to take Chiukwu as bounded rationality, where good or evil is reciprocated equitably.

The next in the structure are parents. For whatever reason, the family of male and female through which one came to this world is an imposition; hence, Gen. Goring?s statement: when I heard of culture, I ran for my revolver but I realised that, it is not gun but character of birth; hence, when a person is born, he may not be born with gold, diamond or silver spoon but has received the character of birth. This level is very important because the generic terms: ?father & mother? are never limiting but regenerative as children grow to become fathers and mothers. Fathers and mothers grow to become custodian trustees of customs and honouring father and mother is equitable doctrine.
