More pics from Iri Ji 2010, L0ndon.

For the first time in the history of Igbo Youths U.K, a non Igbo has been elected into the executive chamber of the organisation. Miss Ama Nana is not of Igbo parentage but is Igbo at heart. She grew up in Nsukka, speaks Igbo fluently and sees herself as Igbo. In the election, Miss Nana pulled 81 votes against the closest contestant who got 69 votes. The victorious Nana in her victory speech spoke on how she intends to use her wealth of experience in British Army and other organisations to promote Igbo interest in the U.K.
At the moment, she is in Igboland representing Igbo Youths U.K in one of the Igbo events over the christmas period. The Ohanaeze U.K chapter as well as Amb Ralph Uwaechue has been briefed over this development. Happy christmas to you all.

Good for her. I wish her success as a member of the executive chamber of Igbo Youths U.K.

This Thread is old but it just popped up on my search engine. Should Nnewi and Igbos be part of a NIGER DELTA republic or should Ngwa and Igbos be part of Niger Delta republic ? The way this would sound to the Igbos is how this thread is sounding to the Ijaws, KALABARI is an Ijaw ethnic group just as NGWA is an Igbo ethnic group, I hope people would learn from this,

You know, if you actually want to be accurate in what you're saying, you should then add "now" before "an _____ ethnic group".

. . .and you just had to say this?lolz

Chillax,its just a youth group/association,not necessarily changing their roots or making them become Igbos.Well,since you are here lemme ask this;are their Ijaw/Kalabari youths association/org. in UK?

Happy Holidays

Ifyalways The youths are the adults of tomorrow. Misinforming them would lead to unnecessary conclusion when they grow old. I am sure the youths deserve sound education and information to be future leaders .

^^^Some of the Kalabaris that have joined this association have gained immensely. They are still kalabaris.

Can we stop pretending like Kalabari is not the most most Igbotic non-Igbo group in Nigeria? That's like getting angry because some Aro people attended an Ibibio event.

Pheeeew, I've been looking for this thread.
Andre, is there a tape/video for this event?? If yes, how do I get hold of a copy? I don't mind paying for it if I have to.

I was wondering if the event was organised again this last december,

Nna, happy new year. It's really been long.
There were many video copies of the event then. I do not have any copy left. But I still have copies of 2009 edition.
Iri ji Igbo Youths was held in Camden, London last October. It was great.
I play a secondary role now. The guys in charge are doing alright.

Happy new year to you too. And yes, It has indeed been long.
Hope you and yours arre fine and dandy??
Do you not know where, whom and how I get a copy?? C'mon, pull some strings. 
I want my parents to see it and also whet my siblings' appetite.

When is the next event?? I need to know so as to  plan ahead.

Iri Ji Igbo Youths U.K comes up October every year. It is an annual event.
As for the video copies of 2010 edition, I will make enquiries towards that.

Hmmm ifyalways, e ka no ebe ni??
Long time. I bet you and the family are doing well.

A bum onye Umuopara.

Regarding the video, I hope Andre can hook me up.
De Andre, thanks in anticipation

Lmao @ first matters arising. Are there other matters that need settling??
Congratulations to Uju. She deserves it.

I hope you won't disappear again once you lay your hands on the Video ? The family is doing great,we are used to the 'aguru and uguru' in the land.

Bia,when are you getting married?All these Igbo Youths meeting na get togethers should not be in vain.You never see a damsel that would not just sweep you off your feet but also kept your heart hanging in the air with love?.

Umu nwoke ndi Umuopara bu ndi ishi okpukpu though.Pesin no fit swallow una ears.

LOL.
Ify, e wu onye e'bole??
If you can say that about Umuopara, I wonder what you'd say about my own village.

Good stuff your family is hale and hearty.

Ify, e twara m aka nwanyi tofuru e tofu, ke machafurunma na nke karaka then I'll seal the deal. . . . . .yes??

I'm not so sure about hanging around here that much. I've taken on a bit more responsibility now. But hey, whenever I'm around here I'll give you a shout.

A bum Onye Abia steeti a bughi m nwa Umuahia directly mana o nwere ka m siri nwee nmeko with Umuahia.

Chukwu gbahara m in advance mana gi na nwa ofe-nmanu gi e kewala? O ga-amasi m ma uziza gi buru "eeeh,n'ezie anyi e kewela" LOL.

@Omo Ibo

Biko, kpo Mazi Ejiogu na akara ya:.
Nwa amadi a wu onye ndu ogbako anyi na ekwu okwu ya.
Agam ewepu (delete) akara na abalia.

Emela De Andre.
I appreciate

Olu na igbo bu Otu ihe. Ijaw is like our nwadiana. Nwa di na ana we ana. As per ika, anioma, Ikwerre, Etche etc.they are full flesh igbo. Welcome them inugo.

ChinenyeN:
If Ijo and Igbo are in one association, then it no longer become an Igbo association, but I don't see a problem with the Ijo youth having an association in affiliation with the Igbo youth association (and vice versa).

Just my thoughts.

^^^Precisely! All our cousins and neighbours should be welcome.....they should give it another name though!

What the older Igbo association should do is help the Ijaw/Kalabari set up their own union so eventually they can become an independent/heterogenous union of their own!
