FACTD BASED ON IGBO TRADITIONS BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES CAME TO AFRICA (With scriptural reference attached to it)


*1. NSO NWANYI
In Igboland women live apart from their husbands and neither cook for them or enter their husband's quarters when they are in their period. They are seen as unclean. Even up till today such practice is still applicable in some parts of Igboland especially by the traditionalists. Before a woman can enter the palace of Obi of Onicha, she will be asked if she is in her period, if yes, she will be asked to stay out.

*Leviticus 15: 19-20*
When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean, anyone who touches her or anything she has sat on becomes unclean.
*2. ALA OBI
An Igbo man's ancestral heritage, called “Ana Obi” is not sellable, elders will not permit this. If this is somehow done due to the influence of the West the person is considered a fool and is ostracized by the community.

*1 king 21:3*
I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors, and the Lord forbid that I should sell it, said Naboth.

*3. IKUCHI NWANYI
Igbos have practiced the taking of a late brother's wife into marriage after she had been widowed until the white men came. Now it is rarely done but except in very rural villages.

*Deuteronomy 25:5*
A widow of a dead man is not to be married outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her.

*4. IGBA ODIBO
In Igboland, there is a unique form of apprenticeship in which either a male family member or a community member will spend six(6) years (usually in their teens to their adulthood) working for another family. And on the seventh year, the head of the host household, who is usually the older man who brought the apprentice into his household, will establish (Igbo: idu) the apprentice
by either setting up a business for him or giving money or tools by which to make a ligving.

*Exodus 21:2*
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay you anything..

What Might Happen If You Suddenly Quit Coffee

Although coffee has a number of health benefits, quitting it might be the right decision to make for some people. But no matter how tempting it may sound to start living a caffeine-free life as soon as possible, it’s better to reduce the amount of coffee you drink daily gradually and give yourself time to adjust to the changes. Our bodies become dependent on coffee, and eliminating it from your diet all of a sudden may cause some unpleasant symptoms, also known as caffeine withdrawal. We at Bright Side also tried to quit coffee quite a few times. And we did our research to find out what happens if you decide to cut it out from your diet once and for all. 1. You might get headaches. If you’ve ever woken up with a terrible headache, you probably know that a cup of hot, strong coffee can make this pain disappear.

The Bengal Famine of 1943: When Food Was Diverted to Allies During WWII

  The Bengal famine of 1943 was a devastating humanitarian disaster that occurred in the Bengal province of British India (present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal) during World War II. The famine resulted in the deaths of millions of people, making it one of the deadliest famines in history. The root cause of the famine was a combination of factors, including a shortage of food, poor weather conditions, and wartime disruptions to trade and transportation. However, a significant contributing factor was the diversion of food resources by the British government to support its war effort. During the war, the British government was heavily involved in the war against Nazi Germany and needed to secure food supplies for its troops and allies.

The British government also followed a policy of "shipping fo...
