Actress urges South-East govs to revive Igbo culture

The Nigerian-Canadian Peace Ambassador, Dr Uba Iwunwa, has urged the governors in the South-East to revive and promote Igbo culture, history, and festivals as a way of preserving the socio-cultural heritage of the Ndigbo.

Uba appealed to the governors to collaborate in promoting festivals and other great events that project the rich cultures and traditions of Igboland.

She described culture as the identity of any society, stressing that Ndigbo could not afford to allow their history and culture to go into extinction or degenerate.

Uba, founder and chairperson of Ikenga Abiama Dynasty Foundation, a Pan-Igbo humanitarian and socio-cultural group, made the call in a goodwill message in commemoration of the 2023 edition of the Eri World Cultural Festival, slated to be held at Aguleri in the East local government area of Anambra State.

She maintained that rekindling and promoting various cultures among the Igbo was an act every indigene must carry out with every sense of pride.

She said, “My culture is my pride and identity. Eri Festival is the cultural heritage of Igboland in honour of Eri, the progenitor of the Igbo ethnic nation. As we all know, culture is the social heritage of any society, which reflects the core identity of its norms and values.

“I urge the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, as well as his counterparts across the southeast, to work collaboratively in promoting the festival and other great events that project the rich cultures and traditions of Igboland.

“I am happy with what we have seen recently at the Obi Onitsha Ofala festival. It is time to give other festivals like that of the Eri kingdom (and others across the Igbo land) greater recognition and promotion.

“This is important, particularly as others, the Yorubas, the Binis, the Fulani emirates, the Calabar, even the Itsekiris and so on, have succeeded in projecting their traditions and festivals to global limelight and we are lagging behind.

“That is why I am calling on our state governors to rally behind organisers of these festivals to give them global projection.

“Eri festival is one of those socio-cultural events of the year that I look forward to because it resonates with me as a daughter of the great Igbo nation with some historical connection to the Jews.

“I am also happy with the fact that efforts were being made to commemorate the Eri festival every year by His Royal Majesty, Eze Chukwuemeka Eri, Ezeora the 34th (Aka-Ji-Ofor Ndigbo).

“It’s my opinion that sons and daughters of the Igbo nation across the world should also cherish and celebrate Eri Festival.

“Our culture is our identity. We cannot afford to allow our history and culture to go into extinction or degenerate. We should rekindle and promote our culture with every sense of pride. Nobody can do that for us.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
