Super Falcons player Ashleigh Plumptre representing Igbo culture back to back. Her father may be Yoruba(not sure) but deep down she prefers Igbo. Igbo culture is beautiful and lovable.
To help promote my book, “The Beginning of Everything Colourful,” Professor Wole Soyinka, in his home, posed for my photographer, Omoregie Osakpor. He doesn’t do this and doesn’t write blurbs for others, as well.
He found the writing lush and special.
This book is about Japan and it brought me closer to the Japanese embassy in Abuja.
It’s about Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko welcoming Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who are visiting Japan as state guests. A conversation between a Japanese traveler and a Mexican traveller. This scenario continues to repeat itself in many of my books.
It was well received and I am glad to have it usher me fully into Japan. ❤️
Hausa people living in abroad or anywhere in the world teaches their children their own language like wise ndi ofe Manu but ndigbo that gave birth to their children in owerri here can't teach their children their mother's tongue..... Our own is always different. A boy of 18 yrs born and breed in owerri is struggling to form a 3 sentence in Igbo just because his parents think speaking Igbo makes him low class
Through 2 Medical Masters and my running PhD programmes (which many of you are still suffocating about 😌),
Governments from 3 countries have cumulatively catered over €200K in costs.
Apart from €10K euros I was given for graduating top of the class.
AS AN IMMIGRANT.
I urge Ndi Igbo, especially those in the South East, to speak to your children, cousins, nieces, and relatives in nursery, primary, and secondary schools.
If they are ever punished or asked to pay money for speaking Igbo in class, dismissed as “vernacular”, they should report it immediately at home. And it must be taken seriously.
I remember growing up, we weren’t allowed to speak Igbo in school except during Igbo lessons. You either paid a fine or got punished.
These things have consequences. This is how identity is eroded. This is how people grow up ashamed of their own language. And today, we’re here fighting to reclaim what should never have been lost.
We silence our language, then adopt others. The ones we don’t adopt, we translate to fit into English, Akara becomes “bean cake,” our food names get stripped and watered down.
Now we’re struggling to protect what we should have been preserving all along.
Speak Igbo. Teach it. Defend it.
Usman Danfodio brought radical Islam2North particularly Hausaland
He accused the Hausa Muslim kings of fake Islam dethroned them seized their power all in the name of "purifying" the faith.
It was never religion. It's a political terrorism4control
Danfodio is a bloody terrorist
Why am I even bothering myself with South African xenophobia.
I share nationality with subhumans who think this is an okay tweet to make.
You will never see the idiots weeping about racism 3 days ago, condemn tweets like this.
This was 3 years ago, not 300 years ago.
