Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: .........Subsequent contributors to the debate have merely rehashed extant knowledge in fresh verbiage and yet arrived at the same destination as their predecessors. Two reasons explain this impasse. One is the absence of fresh evidence to permit a revisit of the status quo. The other is timidity or reluctance of younger people to challenge positions staked by older people assumed to be icons of Igbo studies. Humphrey Akaolisa has refused to be so "intimidated" and to swallow hook, line and sinker the established viewpoints. To be sure, this book is not per se a work of dissent...... .........Akaolisa recognizes the inconclusive nature of the Igbo origin's debate, stressing that the motive for his endeavour is not to lay to rest that debate but to open new vistas of inquiry. In this regard, it seems to me that he has been successful. For this book has resurrected and freshened old questions, challenged existing orthodoxies and provoked new lines of inquiry. I recommend it to anybody interested in the subject of Igbo origins and the surrounding controversies. Prof. Onwuka Njoku This work borne out of deep and intensive oral and book research is conclusive in tracing the origin of Igbo -History........ Indeed a glance through this book will convince you that it is many books in one........ This work heralded a new dawn in the research on Igbo History. He has in my humble opinion succeeded more than anybody before in ascribing an original home base for the Igbo people with Igbo-Ukwu as the principal dispersal point. Cyril O. Ike "For the first time, I enjoyed reading a work on Igbo origin. Anyone who has digested this enthralling work will never remain the same on this discourse........ This book startles as much as it convinces and will certainly serve as a stimulant for many more works in this domain" Prof. Ikenga Metu "A fantastic work, path breaking" Dr. Chukwuemeka P. Ezeife

Book excerpt: "In this book 10 Reasons Igbo People are Rich and Successful Business People which gives "The Secrets of Igbo Economic Power", Humphrey has successfully produced in a very concise book, answers to the enigma - what makes the Igbo man what he is in Nigeria today - admired as he is feared, loved as he is hated, welcome as he is avoided... ...In a style of unmatched simplicity and candor, Humphrey has succeeded in presenting a "must read" handbook or 10 Commands of Igbo man's advancement. This book is recommended to all Igbos and non-Igbos in Nigeria and Diaspora to widen their understanding of what makes an Igbo man what he is." Chief S. N. Okeke OON (Ochendo) B.Sc (LON) FNIVS, FRICS, LLD "...The book, "Ten Reasons Igbo People Are Rich & Successful Business People" lets out "The Secret of Igbo Economic Power". Without saying so, the book reveals the bases of the problems of Nd'Igbo in Nigeria and in other countries. The Jews understand this story very well - and so do the Berbers... ...The corruption that is fueled by Oil Money, combined with apparent death of conscience in Nigeria, has weakened values, especially the value of hard work. And so Nigeria grows backwards, remaining in the kindergarten, while those that started the development race with her, are far into the tertiary levels. It seems to be the case that as the Igbo remains down politically, so must Nigeria remain down economically. And this is a lesson, easily deducible from, but not advertised in Humphrey Kanayo Akaolisa's book, which every literate Nigerian should take as a must-read!!!" Okwadike Chukwuemeka Ezeife, CON Ph.D Havard (Econs) Garkuwan Fika, Akintolugboye of Egbaland "...The Igbo creativity and talents in great and successful business enterprises or business management is a good thing which many of us wise Nigerians must learn from. My best friends are of Igbo origin..." Chief Gabriel Agada KSJ Chairman, Chida Int'l Hotel The Omachi of Attah Igala This book which is on a class of its own, is a must read for Nd'Igbo and everybody. It is a motivating epistle for all who want to develop and think outside the box. Emeka Igwilo The Igbo has often presented himself as an enigma to the world, his fellow countrymen in Nigeria and sometimes even to himself. The enigma surrounding the Igbo including his origin, worldview, character, wealth, inclinations, etc. had often led to general misunderstanding of this people. The studies of this people from different perspectives seem to hold the key to bringing this people to a better understanding to the world and to himself. The Igbo development of great and successful business enterprises or business oriented minds is only one window to studying the Igbo people. This study is good for the Igbo-man who may cherish the understanding of himself and see a reason to continue to cultivate and advance some of his social endowments consciously, and to others who may want to emulate or learn from this little SECRET of the Igbo people. In this little handbook are so many reasons, summed up in ten points, that make a deep analysis of the forces behind Igbo prowess in business, not just in trade, but whatever is intrinsically called serious business.

Download or read book The Igbo People History and Worldview written by Dons Eze and published by Adonis & Abbey Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin, history, worldview of the Igbo, one of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, is shrouded in mystery. Also, there is the controversy about who really are the Igbo, their institutions, political organisation, and relationships with their neighbours. The book not only unravels these mysteries, but also brings to focus contributions made by the Igbo, both at home and in the Diaspora, towards global peace and development. The book also chronicles the travails of the Igbo in Nigeria and recommends that the Igbo should stop lamenting their fate and start reconstructing and expanding their economy if they want to regain their lost glory. ____________________________ DONS EZE, PhD, is a Philosopher and Journalist with a distinguished career in the media that spanned over forty years.
