Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but God’s way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary
There is a serious decline in the use of the Igbo language, especially among Millennials and Gen Z.
A language dies when its children stop speaking it.
If we don’t act urgently, we risk raising generations of Igbo children who cannot speak Igbo and eventually pushing the language towards extinction.
We need to make Igbo exciting again.
I remember growing up with Akụkọ Ifo, Mbe stories, proverbs, songs and folklore. They didn’t just teach us the language; they taught us who we were.
We must bring that experience back using technology, animation, games, music and storytelling.
We cannot allow that to happen to Igbo.
What would you suggest we do?
