Ndubuisi Ekewke Discourses The Yoruba/Igbo Numbering Systems

Quote from the passage:

Obatala, the son of Olodumare, had the postulation that Yorubas’ kindred (the Igbos) invented how to discover and nurture wealth. Pita Nwanna’s Omenuko – one of the most influential books in explaining the linkage of commerce and ancestral Igbo divinity – made that evident: you make wealth even in scarcity. Before the reign of Oduduwa in the 7th century AD, the Ooni nurtured that linkage.

People, you may ask: why is Nigeria still struggling?

More should be done by historians to unearth the values of indigenous African traditions and culture. The Igbos, Yorubas and other African cultures should not shy away from this but unearth the things that would make the present and future generations know more of the good things from their past.
