Renaissance Nke Ndigbo. by dempeople(m): 2:22pm On Jan 04, 2011
Ndigbo kwenu kwenu kwezuonu, iseeeeeeeeeee! Ndi be anyi ekele'm unu. Ambassador Uwechue - the current President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has been succeeding so far in unifying Ndigbo (through the Organization) for a better tomorrow in issues affecting Ndigbo. This is just about the best period to start an Igbo renaissance.
Umuigbo, how do we best initiate this movement? In what areas do you expect massive innovation and changes? In what area do you most cherish a change for? Is it the arts (e.g Revival and expansion of Igbo art etc), political organization and planning (e.g Better or advanced political strategies etc), language (e.g completion of Asusu Igbo), culture (e.g. an Igbo cultural revolution) etc? My people, share your ideas. We can only wax strong as a people if we hear each other's opinion(s).

Promotion of Igbo language requires urgent attention. The president-general of Ohanaeze is very concerned in this department. During my visit to him last year at his Ogwashi Ukwu residence in Delta state, The first issue he raised was on how Igbo language isbeen promoted in The U.K.
As a consequence, we The Igbo Youths U.K responded by establishing an Igbo language lessons for interested Igbo people. w

Re: Renaissance Nke Ndigbo. by beneli(m): 6:06pm On Jan 04, 2011
I think that the challenges for Ndi Igbo in the Diaspora and the ones at home are slightly different. They may complement each other, but they are still fundamentally different.

'Diaspora' here includes those within Nigeria, but living outside of ala Igbo.

In the Diaspora one of the greatest challenges is that the next generation is losing - or have lost - the use of the Igbo language and have also become increasingly alienated from their Igbo heritage and culture . . . they find themselves, gradually slipping into the cracks between the culture of their new ‘homes’ and the home of their fathers. Many factors are responsible for this, including the nature of a lot of Ndi Igbo abroad to keep to themselves, while trying to build their lives; and also the penchant of some for acculturation i.e. the process of diluting one’s culture in order to fit in with the new environment in which they find themselves. The longer term effect of this effect is that the next generation, growing up abroad, loses its identity . . .or end up locked in the 'marginal man' syndrome. . .  

The things Andre and co are doing with the Igbo youth Cultural centre in London are very commendable. I know that with time they will gradually take it to the next level and would soon introduce well researched activities and programmes that target the minds of the children and the younger population. Perhaps they would soon also start producing books for children and that sort of thing. My wife currently gets books from America for our kids. The language thing is also very commendable. God willing, my wife and kids will soon enrol in the classes!   

Within the Nigerian context we don’t need any more ‘socio-cultural’ groups.

Our problem is our lack of political sophistication. Our nature of claiming to be ‘independent minded’, while eschewing the collectivist approach to crafting an Igbo destiny within the Nigerian union . . . because of a so-called ‘Igbo enweghi Eze’ philosophy . . . is not helping us at all. We fail and fall because we are divided as a people, politically. Our individualistic efforts and achievements become meaningless if Ndi Igbo as a group cannot become a political force to be reckoned with, within Nigeria. . .

So we need a re-working of our political strategies within the Nigeria context. ‘Igbo kwesiri i nwe Eze’.

The nature of that Ezeship. . . that leadership, if you will. . . could be an ‘acculturated’ version that comprises a council of those whom we see as having our best interest at heart. If the older generation have become too corrupted by the politics of the times, then the younger generation can jump start the revolution. They can float an Igbo Think Tank that comprises informed and politically aware ‘youths’ both in the Diaspora and at home, who will focus on the political destiny and strategies of Ndi Igbo within Nigeria. How this would work – its leadership, structure etc - needs to be thought through very carefully but it must have a political agenda. And I emphasise that it would be focused on strategies of becoming relevant ‘within Nigeria’ because one of the problems that have plagued Ndi Igbo has been the distraction some have had of nursing the option of once again breaking away from the union - which has resulted in our lack of diplomacy when associating with other nations within the union - when in reality a much greater destiny awaits us within Nigeria if we can get our acts right.

I believe the latter strongly . . .

This sort of thing cannot happen unless: 1) A group of people highjack the situation and create such a position for themselves; becoming self-proclaimed representatives (i.e. that 'eze igbo' nonsense that was going on some time ago in Yoruba territory) or 2) A process by which people who have actually made serious efforts for the better gradually have such positions thrust upon them; making up a legitimate representative council, and that one will take serious time.

My money is on #1. It seems most likely to occur, in my opinion.
Re: Renaissance Nke Ndigbo. by ChinenyeN(m): 6:54pm On Jan 04, 2011
Dem_People, the first step in any renaissance is getting people who care enough, so much so that their caring can have impact on the masses of people who don't care at all. It's a "no talk; simply action" kind of thing. You can't plan a renaissance. You can only spark it and hope that you can get the masses of people who don't care at all, to finally begin caring enough to maintain such a spark and answer such a call, or at least, maintain its echo. So, unless you're willing to put time into discussing the planning out an entire civilization (because that's only where this discussion will take you), I suggest you just find people on the same page as you and begin doing and frequently share you doings with your target audience.

I see your zeal though, and I respect it, but I hope you understand that you have a lot of work ahead of you.

To qualify for work permit, one has to play between 60-65 of your national team matches within two years. You national team must be within 60 in FIFA ranking scale.

Am sure this arrangement counts you out. But do not be discouraged, it is not so in other European countries.
Also, being a student in England will not qualify you to take part in any professional activity e.g football. The Igbo cultural support Network which am one of the leaders chiefly caters for Ndigbo who are in the U.K. Nwannem, let your hopes not be lost. I discussed a similar thing with one young and upcoming footballer from my village sometime ago. He was playing for Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) FC of Umuahia then, but now he is in Turkey and doing well.

You're probably right. Obviously #1 is the most likely scenario that would unfold if the idea were to take root in the next year or two, given the present crop of power brokers in the land and how impoverished our youth have become, which makes them vulnerable to being bought over by the person with the deepest pockets. . .but then you never can tell what would happen to an idea whose time has come in a society where people are fed up with the status quo. . .

Learning Igbo is one of our priorities for the next year or two. They felt out of place not being able to communicate with some of the old people in the village when we went home recently!

Re: Renaissance Nke Ndigbo. by dempeople(m): 1:09am On Jan 05, 2011
I've come to discover in this life that the language of a people forms their core identity. Without a language, the people concerned are as good as non-existent. I've gone through all posts so far and noted one or two posts which raised the issue of language. Sometimes or even most times, I sincerely feel that the so-called Igbo leaders we've had so far (Post-Civil War) have serious shortcomings compared to their counterparts before the war.
There shouldn't be an excuse on why a promising people such as Ndigbo, have had their cultural values eroded so much that many now feel its "sexier" to communicate in other languages other than Asusu Igbo - including some Ndigbo that grew up in Alaigbo. This is very absurd and utterly painful to bear. I feel a sense of urgency, a sense of revival, a sense of renaissance, a sense of renewal! Our ancestors must be looking down on us with utter disappointment and disdain because some (or even most) of us now prefer to communicate to each other in foreign languages. They would be spinning in their graves to discover that some of us even went as far as denying their identity for materialistic causes.

If anything, the impact of the civil war on our collective psyche should be enough to bind us together like glue and set the course of progress for our people. Ndigbo have persecution-similarities with the Israelis (Jews) but, look at where they're today. So, does it mean that it took the arrival of Mr. Uwechue in other to set the path for a renewed sense of Igboness? What has made us to sink this far? Sometimes I really don't know where to start elaborating. There's absolutely no need to delve on the past though I still think the past is the mother of the present and should always be referred to otherwise, we're not good students of history.

Hebrew was completely revived and redeveloped (a language which seized to exist some thousands of years ago) after the Jewish resettlement in Israel but in our own case, Asusu Igbo has been constantly dying since the end of the civil war. Imagine me looking for an Igbo word for "Renaissance" whereas by now, we should've completed the language and use it to revive and enhance many aspects of Igbo life. Thanks to the almighty for providing us with Uwechue, and Peter Obi - who has been very positively active as the leader of the South East govs as well as being the first significant person to invest in Igbo language and culture by establishing schools and signing the usage of the language into law. Without these two men, I seriously wonder whether any sense of hope could've arisen. Keep the ideas coming for divided we fall, united we stand.

Well, dee, maybe it's just me, but it really doesn't seem as though people (more in particular, the 'homelanders' ; primary stakeholders) are fed up enough (unless there is something I don't know). In fact, the secondary stakeholders (the diasporans) seem more fed up than the 'homelanders' (again, that is, unless there is something I don't know), and I doubt diasporan capability to make much of a serious impact where it actually matters.

grin. I respect your opinion though mine still stands.

Another area I would like to see remarkable improvement is in Intra- politics in Igboland. As Ndiigbo, boundaries shouldn't restrict our ability to vie for offices in other parts of Igboland apart from our own area/state of origin. E.g. I'll like to see other Ndigbo from other states contesting for electable offices in Anambra and vice versa. This would speed up the sense of unity. This is the kind of re-orientation expected from Ohanaeze/Igbo leaders.

If I'm not mistaking, it was during the time of Igbo State Union, I believe that was the name. You might not want to quote me on that, though. Anyway, Quite honestly, I'm not sure how well such a thing would work out, now. In fact, I doubt that such a move, to mesh us all up together like that, will be welcomed. I certainly don't appreciate the idea of such, and besides, it's just not our nature.
