Nsokwa is a little-known ancient village that played a vital role in Igbo cosmology and the development of its civilization.The townsfolk were particularly noted for their role in the transmission of the knowledge of Nsibidi,an ancient writing first invented by the Ejagham ( Ekoi ) people of Sourtheastern Nigeria,and then adopted and used widely by their closw neighbors-the Igbo,Efik,Anang,and Ibibio.The very existence of this alphabet,dating back to the 1700s without any Latin or Arabic antecedent,is a debuke to all those who have claimeb over the centuries that Africa has no history,no writing,and no civilization.( Achebe,2012 )
