Nigeria is a Link Exchange Member Free Home Pages at GeoCities Nigeria and the Igbo Culture [Insert your location here] kwenu!]. I offer you a kola nut. (This is my dumb attempt at making this page more ethnic...somebody's request). This page is dedicated to Nigeria and the Igbo culture. My name is Chinelo, and I started learning the Igbo language in the winter of 1996/1997 when I was a senior in high school. I liked it so much that I decided to create a page on the language and my heritage. The rest is history (or to be PC, herstory). For those who have been here before...same mission statement. But soon the page will be completely updated (as I always say...but I really do have a creative idea for this...you'll just have to wait for that). I had been really busy with work and life and haven't had time to add new information and honor people's requests for specific topics. But it should coming, um, soon probably...yeah. In the mean time, I added an update page to keep you current on what's going on with the page. Regarding specific information requests...I will try to find out information on inquiries made in guest book entrees, so please be patient. I do try to find out information on every request (well, if it interests me, but I'm a student so you'd have to try really hard to find something that I wasn't interested in), so if you do have one, please sign the guest book. Here's some real new news! For real! A new Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie, has just come out with a new novel, Purple Hibiscus. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I recommend checking it out if you're interested in "Nigerian culture." It's a coming-of-age novel of a girl growing up in Nigeria. It sounds pretty cool. A link for more information is here. Someone recently asked me if I would consider playing African (specifically Igbo) music on the page instead of what I have playing now. The original plan was to have Igbo music on the page, but I could not find any anywhere except for one file on one page that I didn't like at all (it sounded too ?generic.? It almost sounded like a Eurocentric mix to make something that sounded stereotypically African. So I voted no on that one). If you have any real Igbo or other Nigerian music or know where I could get some, please sign my guest book with information on how I can get it. Thank you. Some of the information that I am using, I obtained from my class, sponsored by the Minneapolis School District and the Umunne Cultural Association. I have also done research on the Internet, in libraries, and through personal interviews. Actually on that note, many people have requested information on the study book that I used from my Igbo class, Igbo Mbu by Ekeoma Mmadufo. I've done some research on the interenet and all I come up with are links back to my own site! My best advice to you if you are looking for a copy of the book would be to contact the organization through which I took my Igbo class, The Umunne Cultural Association--Twin Cities Chapter. They have an e-mail address link and they may be able to help you get the information you need to secure the book. This page is under construction (it really is; I'm not just saying that), so come back frequently! What's New?--what I am currently working on for this page Nigeria Free Nigeria!
