The President General of the Obosi Development Union (ODU), Barrister Chimezie Obi, has expressed his support for the upcoming Obosi dialect quiz competition, aimed at preserving the Obosi dialect of the Igbo language from extinction.
The event, initiated by Pharm. Obi Egbuonye's "Revive Obosi Dialect Project", is scheduled to take place at the Obosi town hall on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026.
According to Barr. Obi, the competition will promote the Obosi dialect and contribute to the preservation of the Igbo language. "It will bring together Obosi people who are proficient in the Obosi dialect, enabling younger generations to learn and appreciate their local language," he stated.
Nze Isaac Ejindu, leader of the Uruowulu village team, praised the organizers, including Pharm. Obi Egbuonye, Eric Anyamene Foundation (ENAF), and the Obosi Development Union (ODU), for their efforts in promoting the Obosi dialect. "This competition will project our Obosi dialect to the world and make natives feel proud to speak it," Ejindu said.
The competition will feature five villages, each presenting four contestants, with cash prizes for the winners. The event will also include performances by local masquerade dance groups and will be broadcast live on Africa Independent Television (AIT).
