Igbo Language Is Poetry – Chimamanda Adichie Gushes by Nobody: 7:02pm On Jan 27, 2019 |
"Igbo is the language of emotions, humor, and laughter. Igbo is the enduring link to my past, it is the language in which my great-grandmothers sang. "Sometimes when I hear the old people speak Igbo in my hometown, Aba I find myself wishing that my own Igbo were not so Anglicized. "I am full of admiration of the complexity of their language and the proverbs that they used and I am in awe of the culture that produced this poetry because that is what the Igbo language is when it is spoken well – it is poetry." – From Chimamanda Adichie’s speech at the Face of Okija thought leadership and beauty pageant in Anambra State, Igbo Land (Ala Igbo). Chimamanda Adichie has painted the Igbo language like a violet, with beautiful colours that shine with luster and truth. Deme Nwa Ada Igbo.
