Capturing the nostalgic and magically surreal ceremony when Igbo Village was inaugurated at the Frontier Culture Museum, Staunton, Virginia, amidst a solemn ritual that symbolically reconnected the African American with his ancestral homeland.

Beautiful.. But plz may I advice our Igbo people in the US to equally build this museum in Igbo land. Return all our cultures and let our children children to get knowledge of them. I believe this is "Oriko" right?. I suggest that that the whites defiled our land, so they're the ones to come to our land for the "Oriko" or re-connection..if there is need. Let someone advice me. wow.. :) Thanks.

What are you talking about sir? This isn't about the "whites"! This has to do with my ancestors who were one of the founding populations for my ethnic group-Black American Freedmen aka Black Americans. This is about my ancestors' history here in the USA. This is about how Igbos who were enslaved in the USA, who were one of the contributing populations to the formation of my ethnic group, how they contributed to the development, construction, and building of the USA. That's why that village is right where it belongs, in the USA. No, it doesn't need to go back over to where you are at b\c it has nothing to do with what Igbos built over there in Africa and everything to do with what they built and established in the USA when they were enslaved here in the USA. If you want your children to know what Igbos did in the diaspora, then you take them to the places and regions where they influenced those regions in the diaspora. This is not a case of taking some artifact or artwork from Africa and placing it in the USA and returning it back to its place of origin, sir. This is a case of talking about my enslaved ancestors and what they built and contributed here in the USA, so it's only fitting that this stays in the USA. That museum is about the African Igbo presence in North America, sir. That is why they built the farm. It's about the Igbo's contribution to building American society from scratch, from the ground up. It's about talking about enslaved Igobs in the Americas. So, that farm doesn't need to go back anywhere, it's right where it belongs and if you want to see it, then get on a plane and see it in Virginia.

STREETS OF LONDON ARE NOT SAFE: Since my return from Nigeria over 30 people have been killed on the streets of London and a few days ago a 17 year old girl was shot and killed in a drive by shooting in North London and within 2 hours of the shooting another 16 year old boy was shot just a few miles away and that boy died from his injuries today 4th April 2018 From January to September 2017 Britain saw over 37,000 recorded knife offences and about 6,500 recorded gun offences. Over 12,000 of these knife offences took place on the streets of London and this is not an exaggeration please check the figures for yourselves. Four teenagers were stabbed to death with a knife in this town on New Year's Eve alone, and 22 people were killed in March 2018, so London is deadlier than New York, Nigeria and other Countries that have been misrepresented in the press and other media networks for decades. 98% of these killings are not robbery related, it is just pure envy, hatred and misguided perceptions of what they think a modern society is all about. Britain is meant to be a country full of educated and civilized people, how ironic. A BRIGHT AND PROMISING YOUNG NIGERIA WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN EAST LONDON IN MARCH 2018, HIS FATHER IS A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN NIGERIA AND PEOPLE WOULD THINK THAT THE YOUNG MAN WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE OVER HERE IN LONDON BUT HE WAS THE 12TH PERSON TO BE KILLED IN JUST MARCH 2018 in just one night alone on 20th February 2018, six people were stabbed in London and in one particular week in March 2018 eight people were killed. 454 acid attacks were reported in London in 2016 and in one night in July 2017 one person poured acid in the faces of 5 different people within 15 to 20 minutes of each crime. The suspect did not even know is victims neither did is victims know each other. My brothers and sisters, parents, friends and country men, where do i start or where should i finish If 5% of these wicked offences occurred in Jamaica, Nigeria or anywhere in Africa, Britain would have imposed a travel ban restricting its citizens from visiting those areas. Yet people swim across the mediterranean to come to London. if you are not born in the UK or if you have no residency papers please stay in your beautiful towns until fortune shines on you because it certainly will shine on you. There are large proportions of your countries that are 200 times better than the UK but their media would always tell you that your country is bad and others would call it a shit hole town, what a joke. Please open your eyes and see the truth for yourselves.

The one problem I had with this whole ceremony was not enough Black Americans were there. Let's establish this. This is about my ancestors who were enslaved in the USA, not about Igbos who remained on the continent and the immigrants who recently came to America. It's good for immigrant Igbos and continental Igbos to participate in this, because some of my African ancestors enslaved here were Igbo and it was their culture. But none of those enslaved African Igbos who are being honored are directly linked in lineage to all those continental and recent immigrant Igbos speaking at that ceremony. Yes, they are connected by tribal or ethnic affiliation. But, those Igbos enslaved here in the 1700's have direct descendants who are Black Americans in Virginia and throughout the rest of America who are ethnically Black American and the descendants of slavery. So, where are there descendants in great numbers? Why were there not enough Black Americans who are the true direct descendants of those enslaved African Igbos hardly present?

Please I would prefer to see an IGBO flag hanging right there ok instead of that British flag, because we're a nation which British and America helped to destroy to what it's today, we're the true IGBO OR HEBREW depend how you want to pronounce it. Shalom.

The only descendant of Igbo I`ve ever met is a Nigerian that lives in Virginia. This is just another attempt by the establishment to further disconnect the aboriginal Americans from their true heritage.

You sound crazy as hell. No one sane is entertaining your delusions and the lies you tell yourself about our ancestry. Ummm....we are people as a result of a multitude of ethnic groups coming from Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We have African, European, and indigenous American ethnic groups coursing through our veins. We are not only aboriginal and it's pure insanity to believe it. Furthermore, the majority of Black American Freedmen have the overwhelming majority of their DNA coming from the sub-Saharan West and West Central Africa. It is documented and legitimated by even slave narratives-the mouths of Black slaves that has been recorded that we have African ancestry. Our true heritage is being Black American Freedmen where our ethnogenesis took place here in North America. It's the ethnic group that we belong to. That ethnic group came about from the intermixing and intermingling of various ethnic groups who came from Africa, Europe, and right here in North America. Our culture originated here in North America as well that has certain Africanisms as the base foundation of our culture and we evolved it from there. Our racial makeup is not just one "race", but a variety of racial ethnic groups. We are admixed, not monoracial. However, the typical Black American who is a descendant of slavery is majority genetically African followed by European and Indigenous ancestries. That is who we are. We aren't just aboriginals and we don't have an aboriginal culture. We have our own culture and our own distinct lineage that includes our African heritage and ancestry as well as the indigenous. So, stop the cap.
