*Edo govt revives cultural clubs in public schools*

Edo State Commissioner for Arts, Culture and Diaspora Affairs, Hon. Osaze Osemwegie-Ero, has said the state government has commenced the process of reviving cultural clubs in secondary schools across the state.

Hon. Osemwegie-Ero, who disclosed this during an interview with journalists in Benin City, said, “On February 26, cultural clubs were inaugurated in secondary schools in Edo South at an event held at the Imaguero College, where over 380 students represented 50 schools from Edo South Senatorial District.”

“The children who attended the event learnt a lot. Prominent Palace Chiefs spoke to the children on the essence of learning about cultures. Children from four schools, who wrote essays on the theme of the 2017 Edo Fest: Arts, Culture: "Our Wealth" were rewarded and got to seat at the high table as measures to encourage them,” Ero said.

Noting that similar events are being planned for secondary schools in Edo North and Central districts, Osemwegie-Ero said, “Similar event will hold in Edo North at St. John Modern College, Fugar, on April 20, 2018. On the same day, there will be another event in Edo Central at Uromi Town Hall. Traditional rulers, Commissioners for Education and Youths, notable Edo artistes and other stakeholders in the arts and culture sector, will be at these events to encourage the students and add colour to the event."

The commissioner said the Godwin Obaseki led-administration intends to inculcate cultural norms and values in children in secondary schools, noting, “This will be done in such a way that the children will grow up with our cultural norms and values.”

He noted, “It is unfortunate that many children can’t communicate in Edo languages and don’t understand cultural values. Children must be assisted to correct the trend.”

Osemwegie-Ero explained that the cultural club activities will be introduced in secondary schools, adding, “We also plan to organise cultural competitions for the students where they will be rewarded. We intend to approach the Benin Monarch, Oba Ewuare II, to support the initiative, as he continues to demonstrate passion to promote the learning of cultural values.”

Backwardness

jesus must be crazy

For the essence of what exactly?


That's why this country will never grow, rather it will continue to be rooted in tribal/religious sentiments, hypocrisy, nepotism and its likes...


Other countries are embracing developments and technology, while my dear country is embracing division and backwardness..





I didn't say culture isn't a good idea, but what exactly has it brought us in this country, rather than division and sentiments?


not until we begin to use state of residence in place of state of origin, forget it... We aren't going nowhere near development.

Ogboni clubs u mean?
Dat Obaseki is an Ogboni man

Good one...It improves heritage, strengthens diversity..

Lol, you mean this guy?

What made it backwards? You are so ignorant.

What in hell is your business in other people's religion ?

Is any Edo forcing you to join a religion you don't want to join ?
So please just shut the fook up.
It is just fascinating how you guys see everything through the lenses of the religion the white men dumped upon you !
They really enslaved you lots.
Just imagine this, you idiots trying to lack others respect just because they refuse to be enslaved like you ?
Fooook you, bastard ! And I mean bastard in the real sense, not as an insult.
Your ancestors didn't give a foook about the white men religion and they fought against feeding it to their children !

south-easterner and retardedness... no problem.
