An Igbo Lady Desiring To Be A Single Parent Or Baby Mama Should Please Read This Before The Venture!

By Anayo M. Nwosu
Until the turn of the 19th century when westernization made a lot of sin out of pregnancy without marriage, the core Igbo communities had made provision for this inevitable occurrence. A pregnant girl and children born out of wedlock served useful purposes.
Even though pre-marital sex was not tolerated in the early days in Igbo land, no girl was killed for getting pregnant without being married.

Poetry: KUMBAYA by Romeo Oriogun

I cannot make this up.

Sunlight sneak behind dark curtains

& you sit up, say the light is here again.

The streets hum with voices,

vehicles run into the rising sun,

my neighbor press her ear against the wall

to hear the voice of heaven

falling from a mouth made beautiful by sin.

to Chinua Achebe.

The casualties are not only those who are dead.
They are well out of it.
The casualties are not only those who are wounded,
Though they await burial by installment.
The casualties are not only those who have lost
Persons or property, hard as it is
To grope for a touch that some
May not know is not there.
The casualties are

WHY NO IGBO PERSON WOULD EVER BE A SUICIDE BOMBER - Anayo Nwosu

Anayo Nwosu

"A natural Igbo man is a born rebel even to his own God. The stubbornness of the Igbos to their various deities and to even the christian God is very legendary if not more defiant than that of any other race I know.
Igbo's continuous worship of a deity or a supernatural force is chiefly based on the deity's performance and not entirely out of fear.
Therefore, it's a common saying in Igbo land that "Arusi nyebe nsogbo egosi ya osisi ejiri pia ya" meaning that "if a deity becomes unreasonable, it will be told the wood from which its symbol was carved".
