I am not Igbo, but my wife is. I have learned so much about her culture through this subreddit and am thankful. I was excited when she shared this website with me and beauty of the text.
I never thought I would have the chance to contribute here. I hope this post is appropriate. She said this text was used by Igbos in pre-colonial times and that there was an attempt to erase or downplay it. The British taught that there was no writing system for Igbos until they arrived, but that was false.
I am curious to hear from the community.
