Genocides can be preempted because they show signs very early, among them impunity, but sadly the great powers whose words can stop evil often don't care. Self -(national) interest is the name of the game, but when one man dies we all die, so we must change. Power is transient! Remy Chiukwukaodinaka Ilona

VERY SIMPLE THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER-OMENANA & OBI Omenala Yoruba, Omenala Idoma, Omenala Germany don't exist. What exists is Omenala Igbo and Omenala Israel. Likewise the Igbo obi which means more than one thing do not have equivalents in the Yoruba, Idoma, German, English, Fulani and Arab cultures. I listened to Obi Onitsha Alfred Achebe infer that Yoruba have obi as we have. They do not. The center of life in Yoruba society are the kings palaces. In Ozubulu, Okwu Akpu (ou r central sanctuary/temple) is the center of society. My family is obi.  Igidikwu Abbor Nando  just called my attention that he met my 2nd cousin whose father, my 1st cousin is Obi of Egbema, Ozubulu. Our household is accordingly an important center, but no 1 is the temple (okwu akpu or okwu ana Ozubulu. RECKON-Bet Hamikdash was the center in biblical Israel. We, Hebrews merely recreated biblical Israel in West Africa, and developed the Hebrew Igbo Republics:

Rabbi  Suzanne Singer  of Temple Beth El kindly invited me to the Temple to talk about the Hebrew Igbo Republics, and I did. There were many questions and everyone was excited and happy to learn. Rabbi  Suzanne Singer  I am grateful to you and your congregation both for the invitation, and the warm reception. As the great Achebe said, its good for kinsmen to meet. In this case we met and learned about each other.

A friend who kindly sold a copy of--- to a well educated Igbo asked, "can I get your review ma'am?" Response: ".....not yet. But so far, very academic. Good study." The problem as I see it is how to cut through 'Blacks' don't like to read, and get the book into Igbo hands. Any Igbo who reads it will if in confusion know who he is: an Israelite.
