Photos of an Igbo village built in Virginia, USA

The Igbo village is located in Staunton, Virginia, USA. According to one of the organizers Basil Okafor, "The State of Virginia and US government recognize the Igbos as one of the early slaves who settled in Virginia." See more photos after the cut...

Igbos like to copy sha. How could igbos ever have been slaves in USA. Most of the slaves were taken off the western coast settlements and not from the interior villages. So only from areas like lagos or what is was then know, BADAGRY, dahomey, Gambia etc

This is cultural sustainability..beautiful

I see! If this is an achievement in the right sense, No problem. But I really hope we can be recognized for something more positive than attaching the slave tag to this.

'The State of Virginia and US government recognize the Igbos as one of the early slaves who settled in Virginia'


I agree,Most black americans have the same mannerism,mentality & looks with igbo people!

Anonymous said...

These igbo people ehn, they always want to take over other people's land wherever they find themselves. It's so bad. They are busy crying for biafra yet they are scattered all over Lagos, Abuja, kaduna, like ant. Mscheeeeew

Unknown said...

These igbo people will not cease to amaze me, with all the available resources and civilization, they willl still act and think backward. Of all tribes, they are still the ones that treat their widows like thrash, buries even children with massive request from family members, give out their children in marriage like it's their lotto card to winning plenty money. Imagine mud houses at this time and season of their life. Nonsense old culture.

Anonymous said...

What some Nigerians from the perfect tribes dont know is that their hatred for the other imperfect tribes alone will open the gates of hell to them. What do you gain by hating a whole tribe that each time any thing is said about them whether good or bad all you think about is hateful comments. No matter how much Igbo, Hausa or yoruba is hated, they will all continue to strive and be whatever they are characterised of. Your being a Yoruba or Igbo is not of your making, God just placed you there so why hate? You could have been from the othyer tribe. Let us preach love not hate. The day i saw a Yoruba culture or something like this in one foreign place like this posted on this blog, I was very happy for them, at least we are putting our country on the map, nobody will say they had never heard of this great country Nigeria.God was not wrong when he placed us all here. No matter how much we hate each other, when you go out there nobody knows you are Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa, All they know is that you are a Nigerian. One love my unique people.

I hope they wont start a clamour for the Mayor of that city to share his municipal powers with their Ezendigbo wuruwuru...

They might even clamour for the state to be re-named Biafra. I wish they can be refined from self - centred nonentities to a cosmopolitan set of people.

Ignorance, hate and blind ethnicity will kill the lots of you who only choose to berate whatever Ndi-Igbo do. You will hate them and yet take money from them in one way or another. You are taking a curse on yourselves, period. Ign0ramuses talk about their ethnicity being the slaves like there is a crown for it. Any fo0l who cannot scout the internet for proof will come on platforms to type crap.
