A People Steep in Culture

The Igbos have a steadfast admiration for their traditions and cultural heritage. The traditional breaking of kola nuts to connote peace is still held high in Igbo cosmology. The Igbo traditional wedding and burial ceremonies are events to behold despite their disregard for ‘Owanbe’ which is popular among Yorubas. The popularity of Christianity in the region has not deterred most of them from performing key cultural rites. Their rich traditions are also evident in the frequent outings of Masquerades and during the New yam festivals

Another impressive feature worthy of admiration is the profound positive imparts of community development associations in various towns and villages in the state. In Enugwu Ukwu, so many developmental strides were seen executed by the town union which includes the building of a town hall, assisting the government in the area of security of lives and properties, organising free jamb coaching for young school leavers and promoting a healthy lifestyle through monthly keep fit exercises.

Such exemplary gestures by the town union were also noticeable in other neighbouring communities like Nawfia, Abagana, Nimo and other communities I visited. I prescribe this act of sportsmanship to all towns in Nigeria, for the progression of our society does not lie in the hands of our government alone.

My experience in Anambra has really afforded me the opportunity to see people differently from a stereotypical lens.

That's how we roll and that's why sometimes we dont give a damn about government

The apprenticeship culture is one aspect of the Igbos way of life that has lift many households out of poverty.

The igbo people have helped themselves more than Nigerian government has helped the country.

I find it funny when people that know nothing about the Igbos and have never left Lagos come here to say that Igbos don't help themselves.

Come see how people wey never cross ore go label op liar.

bros pls correct that to read: THAT'S WHY WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT GOVERNMENT ALL THE TIME!


pls ask the op if he noticed any federal government presence in South-East - NON! absolutely non!

98% of the development in south-east are self-help projects of citizens.

The only federal government presence in south-east are the ARMY, POLICE, CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION, CIVIL DEFENSE AND EVEN PEACE CORP - each and every one of them set up checkpoint every 100 meters on the bad and neglected federal roads and are all busy extorting citizens every day!

EVEN THE NORTHERN WAR ZONES DOESN'T HAVE 1% OF THE CHECK POINTS WE HAVE IN ALL THE ROADS IN SOUTH-EAST!







ONE DAY - JUST ONE DAY, WE WILL ALL STAND UP IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH-EAST AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Where is the other thread identical to this one where I posted a link to Abagana during the civil war?
