“Whereas there are thousands of Igbo residents in Minnesota, some of whom have lived in the State for more than forty-five years; and

“Whereas in 1985, Igbo Minnesotans formed the non profit organisation Umunne Cultural Association to unite and educate Igbo families and Minnesotans about Igbo culture, art, music and values; and

“Whereas first IgboFest was held in 1994 to celebrate the rich heritage of the Igbos and to educate Minnesotans about Igbo culture, and whereas Igbos in Minnesota have been involved in causes such as education, the arts, volunteering in local local schools and organisations, book drives, COVID-19 vaccination, and cultural perfomamces at local and international festivals, and

“Whereas Igbos in Minnesota are working to ensure the sustainability of Igbo culture by creating cultural awareness for the next generation.

“Now therefore, I Tim Walz, governor of Minnesot, do hereby proclaim August 13, 2022, Igbo Day.”

You have to give it to the West; these guys are very liberal. We often accuse the White man of being a racist forgetting that we are killing ourselves with tribalism here.

If the black man had the opportunity white man had, the white man would still be in slavery today. Nigeria and Africans need to love one another. Loving oneself starts with seeing your fellow countrymen as humans first before their tribe. God bless America!

So, what about the ones we are doing to ourselves?

When are we going to correct them?

Perhaps when pigs develop wings and fly?
