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 donโt 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 Akแปฅkแป Ifo, Mbe stories, proverbs, songs and folklore. They didnโt 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?
@gaiuschibueze He knows what to do, he should have moved on long time ago, by now he would have healed and gotten someone else. This is something you can't win, our nature as men does not allow it.
@jon_d_doe This is not about any agent or informant is all about leverage, the leverage the files gives them against him. U.S knows how to play this international politics well, that files will never come out.
@jon_d_doe Na wa o, things dey happen, thank God for my Dad despite training all of us through university, he is still hustling and making his money and not disturbing anyone.
ABIA AND THE MIRACLE OF RESILIENCE
Being the Text of a Broadcast by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, on Thursday, August 27, 2026 to Mark the 35th Anniversary of the Creation of Abia Stateย
1. Umunnem ndi Abia, I come to you this morning with an elation of gratitude, thankful, firstly to the Almighty God for His blessings upon our land in the last 35 years. May I also congratulate you, dear brothers and sisters, as we relish the joy of this remarkable anniversary in our evolution as a people bound by a common heritage, defined by the resilience of our spirit and hope in the promises that tomorrow holds. Individually and collectively, every one of us has uniquely contributed to shaping the character of our State, drawing its identity and laying out the map of its future. Fellow Abians, you owe it to yourself to be proud of the contributions you have made in the building of this community of endless possibilities. Our joy on this momentous occasion does not come from a place of vanity, it is firmed on the conviction that a new epoch is upon us, our moment has arrived and with gratitude, we shall seize the opportunities of our day to create a better world for those coming after us. Our race is never about outrunning others, it is pushing ourselves harder each day, asking tough questions and refusing to settle for less than we deserve.ย
2. The radiance of our dear State draws from the light lit by the brilliance of foresight and the prodigious intellect of our father, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, CON, who served as our first democratically-elected Governor; over the last 27 years, my predecessors, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, Chief Theodore Orji, CON, and Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, MON, have exerted themselves in the service of our people, contributing to its socio-economic and political evolution. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their contribution to our development. On a day of immense historical significance like this, we are obliged to also remember the efforts and commitments of the military administrators whose steady leadership helped in the maintenance of peace and social stability in the early years. The foundations laid by Air Vice Marshal Frank Ajobena, CON, Brigadier General Chinyere Ike Nwosu, Commander Temi Ejoor, Colonel Moses Fasanya and Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Obi offered great hopes about the immense potential that our young State held at the time. Their investments in infrastructure and commitment to public order greatly shaped the construct of our economic and social experiences as our identity began to emerge. Like all of us, our past leaders may not have been perfect, but we must never lose sight of their efforts at building a political entity that answers to the aspirations of all who share in its heritage.
@first_humane The only reason you are outrage is because it was your brother, if the girl was your friend you would have joined your friend to call him "stingy"
