The Colours of Thought. Sunday, January 08, 2012. On the Canvas of My Mother's Mbaraezi.

The child needs the ezi, not just the modern stationery, even if that ezi is a different kind of space where the child can move around and develop narrative imagination on paper and other physical objects.

The Colours of Thought. Monday, April 05, 2010. Physician of the home. He reads the pulse of the home; understands what ails the home; heals the home. In him is the fullness of nwokeness. Industry, resourcefulness, courage, sacrificial love. From the panopticon of his obi. He watches over the home. Even the spirits think twice before entering his homespace, but must be ready to wrestle with him and his ikenga. The Igbo have invested in him the highest values to stay the family. He, the dread of ụmụnnadị.

The Colours of Thought. Monday, January 09, 2012. The Semiotics of the Sacred Space in Indigenous Igbo Thought. A sign that marks a space as sacred could be read as:. 1) A warning – against intrusion and violation,. 2) A reminder – about the existence of that space in that location.

Violating the sacred spac...
