The Nri Kingdom and the Soul of Igbo History: Uncovering Africa's Forgotten Civilization That Rejected Slavery and Chose Peace

By Collins JK. Smith

What if the most powerful African kingdom was the one that never waged war?

Long before colonialism, long before the world learned to fear the sword and idolize empires, there existed a sacred civilization in West Africa that chose a different path-a kingdom of peace, spiritual power, and moral resistance.

Welcome to the lost story of Nri-the soul of Igbo history.

The Nri Kingdom and the Soul of Igbo History is a breathtaking, emotionally rich journey into one of Africa's most underrated ancient civilizations, hidden in plain sight. While much of history glorifies violence and empire-building, this book unveils a kingdom that expanded without bloodshed, resisted the slave trade, and governed through sacred rites, not military conquest.

Discover what you'll find inside:

* The origin story of Eri, the sky-descended founder who brought harmony to a fragmented world

* How Nri's leaders-the Eze Nri-were chosen not by force, but by ritual purity and divine calling

* The true role of ichi-scarred emissaries who traveled to heal, not conquer

* Why Nri stood as a beacon of hope during Africa's darkest era of slavery and colonialism

* The sacred bronzes of Adọbukwu-masterpieces that rivaled European metalwork

* The epic clash between Nri's spiritual diplomacy and the rise of the Aro Confederacy

* How the British dismantled a peace-based kingdom, and what still survives today in Igbo culture

Why this book matters:

In a time when many African histories are erased or distorted, this book offers a soul-stirring reclamation of truth. It's not just a historical account-it's a spiritual revival, a cultural rediscovery, and a powerful reminder that Africa's legacy includes not just survival, but greatness, integrity, and peace.
