DID NSUKKA MIGRATE FROM IGALA?
Scholars navigating through the histories of the Nsukka Igbos are often faced with these fundamental questions: Did Nsukka migrate from Igala? Why do Nsukka people bear Igala names such as Attah, Onoja, Ogili, Idoko, Ameh etc? What about this claim about Nsukka’s migration from the ancient kingdom of Nri? Can it be possible that Nsukka migrated from Nri? Is there any possibility that Nsukka might have existed before any of these ancient kingdoms? How did the people of Igbo Nsukka come about and what was their relationship with these two ancient kingdoms?

This book addresses these questions and sets to unleash a great revolution in the history of Igbo Nsukka.

In essence, among the few remittances that we have had so far in the history of Igbo Nsukka, Ekene Ugwuanyi's account seems to have distinguished itself as not just the most elaborate, but the most comparative, and most importantly, the most daring and interpretative. It is within this scope of comparison, courage and interpretation, where history situates its power, that Ekene Ugwuanyi equally situates his relevance in the committee and cult of the scribes of Igbo Nsukka "historidon".

WHY MARRIED WOMEN RUN MAD IN NSUKKA IF THEY CHEAT ON THEIR HUSBANDS

Among the cultural zones of Igboland, the Nsukka Igbos (Igbo Nsukka) seem to have the most revered marriage institutions. This is informed by the zero tolerance of the people's tradition towards adultery especially on the part of the married women having an extra marital affairs with other men outside their husband. A good number of reports abound concerning women who either ran mad or died mysteriously on account of cheating on their husbands.

This part of tradition where adulterous wives face mysterious consequences is what the Nsukka Igbos call "Nd'ishi" or "Nna Di" making reference to the ancestors whose eyes are believed to be watchful on the ladies married into the land. A lot of women who fell victim of this tradition did so mostly as a result of ignorance on the danger of their actions and how this aspect of the people's tradition works.

Chapter seventeen of this book is a detailed explanation on the concept of Nd'ishi/Nna Di in Igbo Nsukka cosmology. The book goes into details on the origin of the tradition and goes deeper into explaining its mysteries and mode of operations. Different Igbo Nsukka communities are highlighted and how this tradition works in each of the respective communities.

The book is quite rich in in-depth analysis of marriage institutions among the Nsukka Igbos and recommended especially for the ladies that may marry an Nsukka man as it will go a long way in opening their eyes on how to avoid falling into the trap of Nd'ishi/Nna Di.

This book is a brave and courageous enquiry, exposition, revelation and critique of the pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial history of the Igbo Nsukka, that is, Igbos north of the South-East, Nigeria. The book begins with what is obviously the most ferocious and critical enquiry into the proposed Igala and Nri origin and migration of the people of Igbo Nsukka, distilling, by means of evidences factual and astonishing, an unprecedented uniqueness into the origin, past and practices of the Nsukka people; putting an end to shallow debates and propositions, complicating establishments and excavating essences into the past and primitive norms and values of the people under reference.

The most defining and profound territorial contests by the leading states of the people of Igbo Nsukka before the colonial encounter are not left behind in the book, neither is the Nsukka side of the story into the horrors of the civil war. To have done all these and more, evolving and using what is uniquely indigeneous Igbo Nsukka letters of the alphabet, with a full chapter dedicated to discourses on Igbo Nsukka phonetics and phonology is not only daring but symbolic of the astuteness of a work resolved to open up questions and answers into an obscured past.

Among the few remittances that we have had so far in the history of Igbo Nsukka, Ekene Ugwuanyi's Precolonial, Colonial and Postcolonial account seems to have distinguished itself as not just the most elaborate, but the most comparative and, most importantly, the most daring and interpretative.
