What if everything you’ve been told about African history… was wrong?
In this powerful conversation, Professor Jesse Ezra breaks down the real foundation of African and Igbo history — not the version written by outsiders, but the one preserved by the people themselves.
From the groundbreaking work of Kenneth Dike, who challenged the idea that “Africa has no history,” to the deep scholarship of historians like Afigbo and Elizabeth Isichei, this video exposes how Igbo society was structured, understood, and recorded long before colonial distortion.
You will discover:
Why Africa always had history — just not in European form
The truth about oral tradition as a legitimate historical “text”
The difference between emic (insider truth) and etic (outsider interpretation)
How colonial systems misrepresented Igbo political structures
Why true knowledge must follow the data — not bias
This is not just history… this is a correction of history.
