A WRITING SYSTEM OF THE IDO PEOPLE
It has come to our attention that the Benin and Ido people of southern Nigeria have developed a chromatographic system of writing. That is a writing based on different color combinations and graphs. Aba Abhuluime of Nigeria brought the chromatographic writing system to our attention after he visited our website. He was kind enough to send us a sample of the system, which we gladly post on our website. The system is also called quantography or pictography. This system of color writing and tradition needs to be further investigated. According to Mr. Abhuluime, there is a published work entitled "African Science: The Art of Colour Writing" by Aba Ota in 1999. We hope to provide additional information on color writing in the future.
