*Makes Igbo language study compulsory in Imo schools

By Clifford Ndujihe

LAGOS—AFTER years of planning, tinkering and preparation, the first Igbo language newspaper, Ikoro, is ready.

The newspaper will be presented on March 15 by Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.


Speaking on the issue, Dr Samfo Nwankwo, Special Adviser to the Imo State Governor on Igbo Affairs, said eminent Igbo leaders including Dr Alex Ekwueme, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (retd), Chief Enwo Igariwey, Pascal Dozie and Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (retd) among others are expected at the ceremony billed for Imo Internal Conference Centre, Owerri.

Nwankwo, who is also director, Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu Centre, OWENI, spoke during a courtesy visit to Vanguard Newspapers.

Apart from Ikoro, he said the governor would on the same day launch the compulsory learning and teaching of Igbo language in all schools in Imo State.

Asked if the governor was copying the Yoruba and Hausa, which have newspapers in both languages, Nwankwo said no, stressing that the move is to ensure that the Igbo language did not go into extinction.

‘’The fact that Igbo language is going extinct, which is a dangerous development is behind the move. If nothing is done to arrest the situation, we will have identity crisis. We felt attention should be paid to the reading of Igbo language, which is part of our culture. It is time for us to go back to our roots and be proud of our language,’’ he said.

He said the compulsory learning and teaching of Igbo language in all schools in Imo up to first and second years in higher institutions is backed by the “Development of Igbo Language Law 9 of the Imo State House of Assembly.’’

Disclosing that publication of Ikoro is being funded and sponsored by the Imo State Government, he said the paper would cover the five South-East states and other Igbo-speaking parts of the country.

How can you tell me thanks when you had already insulted your father, Ijaws are our brothers..Get that right down your skull, are you dumb to know that they are our blood relatives? If you don't agree with that then it's better you hang now.

HAHA ... YORUBA LEADS IBO FOLLOWS
IBO WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YORUBA FOOTSTEPS. For your little mind

Chiwude:
Mechionu ebe ahu. Shut up! Who told you Ijaws are our brothers. We don't deny that we share a lot in common with them, but brotherhood hell no. Ijaws are not our brothers, neighbours they are and neighbours they shall remain. Brotherhood runs deep, something they (Ijaws) don't posses.

Adaure4ever:
Some Igbos calling him Okoroawusa and abusing him should stop it.. Its getting embarrasing.
You don't wash ur dirty pants in public.
Others are watching.
If he is erring in any way, we should bring him inside the "Obi" advice him as a brother, and not abusing him up and down.
... Nice gesture from him.

Okorocha is the greatest Igbo politician of the 2010s and keeps representing.
