ABSTRACT
IGBONOMICS - A GLOBAL IGBO-ORIENTED COSMOLOGY
This paper will introduce a new hypothesis that coins the concept and the term
Igbonomics. This paper will then propose that Igbonomics explains the interconnectedness of all things. This Igbonomic view of the world and our place in it
has been preserved in our ancient texts and traditions. When NASA sent the Pioneer
10 space probe into the far reaches of the interstellar space of the cosmos, it
featured an Information disk of coded symbols that explained the cosmology of
mankind as the source of the probe. We have something similar in the Ikom
Monoliths. The Ikom Monoliths are a virtual Information disk engraved with the
same precision and with an even superior technology than that as displayed and
illustrated on the Pioneer Information disk however with a significant difference.
That difference simply is cost.
The technology used to make the golden
information disk itself does not exist to make or even reproduce an Ikom monolith
and as such the cost comparison to make a gold information disk to an Ikom
monolith is unquantifiable.
Igbonomics is the philosophy and scientific study of Igbo economy, metaphysics and
cosmology as the source of humanity and world civilizations. It is the source of that
unified field theorem of everything as applied to the study of every category of the
humanities, the arts and sciences. It proposes that it is the Niger Valley civilization
that is the mother and seed culture of world civilizations including that of the Nile,
Tigris, Ganges, Amazon, Rhine, etc. Igbonomics is based on the findings of The
Catherine Acholonu Centre for African Studies.

IGBONOMICS THE SPIRITUALITY, COSMOLOGY AND

SCIENCE OF AFRICAN METAPHYSICS AS THE UNIFIED FIELD
THEORY OF EVERYTHING1
When you have a hypothesis that proposes an origin for all things and the
hypothesis bears up under scrutiny by providing the answers to everything,
then we can safely say we have gone beyond mere hypothesis and have
entered into a unified field theory of the truth of all things, the hyperdoughnut of universal knowledge that I refer to as Igbonomics.
Igbonomics is an explanation of the inter-connectedness of all things within
four dimensions rooted in Igbo cosmology. This Igbonomic view of the
world and our place in it has been preserved in our ancient texts and
traditions. Professor QM Catherine has already given us the theory of
"Igbonomics," I just gave it that name and a definition based on her seminal
volumes " The Gram Code of African Adam Stone books and Cave libraries,
Reconstructing 450,000 years of Africas Lost Civilizations," "They Lived
Before Adam, (Prehistoric Origins of the Igbo The Never Been Ruled) " and
"The Lost Testament of the Ancestors of Adam: Unearthing Heliopolis/Igbo
Ukwu - The Celestial City of the Gods of Egypt and India " and all the work
presented in her other publications, lectures, materials and workbooks. I am
presenting it as a separate academic and scholarly discourse of thought,
study, philosophy and living.
Albert Einstein said that Humanity is going to need a substantially new way
of thinking if it is to survive. It is my conviction that Igbonomics will open
the door to this axis change in thinking. It involves a new way of existing and
interacting with the universe. It is not really a new way. It is the old way,
the original way, the way of our ancient ancestors. The difficulty lies not in
the new ideas, but in escaping the old ideas, old ideas that have usurped and
replaced the original ideas which unfortunately, for those brought up within
the epistemology of western civilization such old ideas have been zapped

into every corner of our minds making us virtual zombies of our own
original ideas and of our ancient cultural heritage.
Igbonomics explains the inter-connectedness of all things within four
dimensions. It is the marriage of every category of the arts with every
category of the sciences in learning and the conducting of research. This
view of the world and our place in it has been preserved in our ancient texts,
our ancient culture and traditions.
The space probes Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded the Voyager space
probes, were sent into the far reaches of interstellar space of the cosmos.
Both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for
the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant
future. With this example before them, NASA placed a more ambitious
message aboard Voyager 1 and 2 - a kind of time capsule, intended to
communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message
is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk
containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and
culture on Earth. This Information disk of coded symbols presents the
cosmology of mankind as the source of the probe. We have something
similar in the Ikom Monoliths located in Cross River State, recently made a
Nigerian UNESCO Heritage site due to the efforts of QM Catherine. The Ikom
Monoliths are a virtual Information disk engraved with the same precision
and with an even superior technology than that as displayed and illustrated
on the Pioneer Information disk however with a significant difference. That
difference simply is cost. The technology used to make the golden
Information disk itself does not exist to make or even reproduce an Ikom
monolith and as such the cost comparison to make a gold information disk to
an Ikom monolith is unquantifiable. There are also other information disks
uncovered at Igbo Ukwu that have encoded on them other messages from
our ancient ancestors. Some of the information on these information disks is
starting to be uncovered, evaluated and interpreted by researches and
scientists today of which we shall briefly exhibit here.
The global early civilization was based in a West African origin. Ancient
Africans were the first to develop language as a system of communication
and to develop a formal system of writing, education, religion and culture.
Africans gave knowledge, wisdom, philosophy and a science that would be
termed black magic or Chemistry or Chem (Black) and Mistry or
Mystery (Magic) which recent breakthroughs in science would be called
Quantum Physics which is nothing but the science of the ancient black Magi.

This new science of Quantum Physics has proved that there are two basic
realities: the physical reality and the non-physical reality. The former has the
nature of particles, while the non-physical reality is composed of waves and
vibrations or pure energy. Because their nature is diametrically opposed to
each other, the two realities are self-contradictory and parallel. That is to
say, they never meet and they do not agree. The affirmation of the one
cancels out the existence of the other. Of the two realities, the wave/energy
reality, which belongs to the realm of the Mind, is superior. Yet the particle
reality, which belongs to the realm of the material, attempts to cancel it out
and negate its existence.
Now, the entire corpus of Newtonian physics focuses on proving that the
particle universe is the only reality. How wrong Newton was! Consequently,
anyone who dared to believe in God AND miracles, especially among
scientists were excommunicated from the mainstream and branded as fools.
We as Africans have been seduced into denying the priceless heritage of the
high civilizations of the ancients and we have discarded them and have
been giving homage to somebody else's ancestors, their Deity and their
cosmology instead of giving homage to our own African ancestors, OUR Deity
and OUR own African cosmology because we have been told that it is
"heathen," "pagan," "primitive," tribalistic, "demonic," fetish, "devilish,"
"satanic," witch craft, "superstitious," "idolatrous," "barbaric," sensual,
"seductive," animalistic, "cursed," "immoral," "evil," etc, etc., ad infinitum.
It was thrown to the dogs, not to talk of the damage done to the human
psyche when the truth is turned on its head, when gods live and die among
us, unsung, being rated as sub-human, apes, baboons, begging for
recognition as members of our miserable humanity.
However there are few among us who are starting to tap into our ancient
ancestral scientific cosmology such as Professor A.O.E. Animalu, Sam Okoye,
Gabriel Oyibo and Phillip Emeagwali who are great examples of Igbo scholars
reclaiming their lost Igbonomic cultural birthright and heritage with regard to
their understanding of the unified field theory of everything (TOE)
represented by the hyper-ball. The unified field TOE is also proven by the
Igbo-Ukwu bronze artifact of the Torus hyper-doughnut. Oyibo emphasized
the wave theorem in his research, but if he would dig deeper into his Igbo
science, he would see that beside the wave theorem, there is the fractal
tetrahedron theorem as explained by Nassim Haramein also illustrated on
the Igbo-Ukwu bronze Torus hyper-doughnut. In other words the wave
functions create fractals. Both theorems defy Newtonian-Einstein physics and
take Quantum physics to the next level or the Afa divination system. Oyibo
and Haramein come together like Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking. Oyibo
4

limits himself by appealing to Western tradition, the Islamic, Christian and

Jewish traditions instead of digging deep into his Niger Igbo-African tradition
to which Haramein acknowledges as the source originator of this Science of
all sciences. Also there is the research of Dr. Ron Eglash 2 widely known for his
work in the field of ethnomathematics, on the science of African fractals. His
research includes the use of fractal patterns in African architecture, art, and
religion, and the relationships between indigenous African cultural and
spiritual practices and modern technology. Why did Africans focus so much
on fractal designs while other groups did more with Euclidian geometry? The
African focus on fractals is endemic in every aspect of African culture. It can
even be heard in our polyrhythmic music (similar simultaneous rhythms at
different scales). Such recognition of the genius of African culture dispels the
notion that African religion, spirituality and cosmology is paganistic,
heathenish or devilish.
Egyptian philosophy has Igbo Origins. There are pyramids in West Africa just
as we see them in Egypt. In February 2012 a Nigerian Egyptologist Souley
Garba discovered a pyramid in an advanced state of deterioration and a
sphinx in Dan Baki, Niger, 20 km west of the city of Zinder and 2 km north of
the village of Tirmini. The Dan Baki pyramid is said to have a twin nearby and
appears to be part of a series of pyramids located in the region of Tanout.
The pyramid of Dan Baki is estimated to be at least 4500 years old, about
1000 years older than the Giza Pyramids. Garba believes that the point of
origin of humanity is in the Niger basin and that from there people spread
into Chad, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Then there are the Nsude
pyramids of Nigeria of which hardly a trace remains today.
These
archeological evidences all lend support to the thesis that it is the Niger
River Valley civilization that is the mother and source of the Nile River Valley
civilization and of an African dominion in West Africa long before Egypt. Yes,
West Africans built pyramids and still know how to build them.

THE EGYPTIAN FLOWER OF LIFE and THE TORUS HYPER-DOUGHNUT

The Flower of Life depictions seen in ancient African cosmology from the Nile
Valley to the Niger Valley is an intricate geometric pattern of lines, circles
and curves consisting of interconnected hexagonal shapes. This illustration

through out this paper be researched to see how they have tapped into African
cosmology for their phenomenal research and discoveries.

contains within its proportions every single aspect of life there is. It contains
every mathematical formula, every law of physics, every harmony of music,
every biological life form. It contains every atom, every dimensional level,
absolutely everything that is within waveform and particle form. The Igbo
Ukwo hexagonal model is actually the model of creation itself, showing the
interconnected hexagons and cubes that lie at the very root of every atomic
particle and wave form. This Ukwo hexagonal model was the same model
used by Nigerian born physicist Philip Emeagwali for the invention of his
model of the HYPERBALL to create the Internet grid. All of this comes from
our indigenous knowledge more than 6,000 years before Physics or Quantum
Field Theory was introduced as field of study. This illustration shows that
interaction among wave functions creates particles. This New Physics is
the subject of the New Physics pioneers like Nassim Haramein, Samuel
Ejikeme Okoye (26 July 1939 18 November 2009), Gabriel Oyibo, Michio
Kaku, Stephen Hawking and others.
The Igbo Ukwu Torus model recorded in bronze by ancient Igbo scientist
displays knowledge of inter-dimensional dimensional geometry that is
comparable to the findings of the scientists we have just referenced. This
enigmatic phenomenon preserved in bronze by the created by the Igbo Ukwu
civilization is actually one of the greatest discoveries of modern physics. The
development of this science in Africa is what I refer to as Igbonomics. What
our modern scientists have discovered is in fact Igbonomics. Our ancient
scientists knew this science of unified fields which Einstein called the Unified
Field Theory also called the Theory of Everything only to our ancient
Igbonomists it was not a Theory. It was a system of cosmological
knowledge known as IFA or AFA.
THE NUMBER FOUR
Igbo cosmology is rooted in the number four. The universal Afa 3 language is
rooted in the number FOUR as expressed in the cube or the tetrad. FOUR is
the basic number of Afa and of the Igbos cosmos. The number four is said to
be the number of the earth and mankind. There are four cardinal points on
the earth; North South East West. There are four winds. There are four
seasons. There are four phases of the moon. The four elements: earth air
fire water. There are four basic blood types in man; O, A, B and AB. There

Igbo origins to nearly every people group on the African continent and beyond and
says that, Afa language is the oldest Igbo language.

are four basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. There are four
numbers of basic chemical units in the DNA structure: adenine A solid figure

triangular faces and four vertices. It is the only self-dual regular polyhedron.
(A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A solid figure with four faces
is a tetrahedron. The regular tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. A
tetrahedron, which can also be called a 3-simplex, has four triangular faces
and four vertices. It is the only self-dual regular polyhedron. The valence of
carbon the most common element is 4. There are four basic rules of
mathematics: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. There are four
basic forces in nature: electromagnetic, weak, strong and gravitational and in
Quantum Physics there are four dimensions.
The Igbo concept of time is rooted in the number four. The Igbo week has
four days while the great week has eight days. This basic number also
represents the four fish-monger deities of Igbo oral tradition who are said to
have inaugurated the four market days Eke, Orie, Afo and Nkwo named after
each of them. Thus four is seen as the number of deity among the Igbo. Its
basic form is the quadrangle represented by the basic geometrical shapes:
the pyramid, the lozenge, the slanting square representing a four-pointed
star, the X shaped equal armed cross enshrined in the Igbo Ukwu-type Ichi
facial scarifications. These forms, when etched on wooden doorposts and
shrine objects represent the deity itself, thus four becomes the number of
deity. The ichi markings of the lozenge, a quadrangle is the quintessential
symbol of the Mother Goddess, of the order of nature represented by the
carbon crystal: the most basic form representing the molecular universe.
The Nag Hammadi scriptures speak of the coming of the great angel of the
fourth eon or the fourth luminary of heaven. He is linked by the
symbolism of the number four to Nag Hammadis fourth generation of
humanity which is the most exalted, is kingless and perfect. This would
seem to apply to the Igbo nation to whom the same number and elements of
culture apply. The Igbo appear to be the only people on the planet who
observe a four day week. This is the same ubiquitous quadrangle, the origin
of ichi geometry, which symbolizes the presence and mystical essence of the
Deity in Igbo religion and cosmology.
Igbonomics as a hypothesis regarding the origin of all things is not just a
paradigm shift, but an entire AXIS SHIFT in theology, philosophy, history and
every other Western ideology there is. The African origin of civilization is not
7

the Nile Valley, but the Niger Valley. . It proposes that it is the Niger Valley
civilization that is the mother and seed culture of world civilizations including
that of the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Ganges, the Amazon, the
Rhine, etc. The greatest mark of Western civilization Democracy the fruit
and the propeller of civilizations originated in Igbo land, not Egypt and not
Greece. The Igbo4 were part and parcel of the origin and making of all
culture, language, philosophy, myths, science and religion. Not only did the
out of Africa migration take place from West Africa, but the distinguishing
cultural phenomenon known all over the world as Black African culture is
geographically Nigerian in origin. Igbonomics proposes that Igbo is at the
root of all languages including European, that the pristine culture and
language of early man were transferred into Igbo cosmology and language,
that it is here, in Southern Nigeria that has been the breeding house for the
cultural and spiritual emancipation of peoples of Africa and the world since
time immemorial and that it is here that the new African renaissance and a
new out of Africa experience is to be inaugurated.
Igbonomics proposes that Nigeria and the African continent as a whole are
the undeniable original custodians of all knowledge, culture, and religion. We
will not wait for or appeal to the halls of Western Academia for approval for
this Igbonomic hypothesis to be proven. It will be left to us, it will be our
responsibility, and indeed it is our destiny to demonstrate this before the
world.
Igbonomics is based on the findings of The Catherine Acholonu Centre for
African Studies (CARC). We the researchers at CARC are totally humbled and
overwhelmed by the obvious implications of the evidences we have before
us. We do hope that these will spur Africans to take their indigenous cultures
more seriously and embark upon research to find out what all of the
continents founders have contributed to humanity through the ages.

4 I must qualify my incessant use of the word or term Igbo within the context of
Igbonomics. As Professor Catherine Acholonu has stated, Our intention is not to single out
the Igbo out from our other Black African brethren, but rather to present the Igbo example as
an eye opener to the rest of Black Africa who can now seek their own roots through this now
well chartered road once lost and forgotten. What is true of the Igbo is true of all Nigerian
peoples and all Black Africa, for they are one people, one destiny. The Lived Before Adam,
