BROADCASTS OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES FORMALLY RECOGNISE IGBO LANGUAGE IGBO LANGUAGE CAMPAIGN FLYER.png Portable network image format [239.9 KB] Every good minded and genuine Igbo person who can make it to London should attend the event as contained in the attached flyer above to celebrate this unique achievement. After years of relentless campaign that would have seen mere mortals throw in the towel, Mrs Hope Ify Ofomata and Vincent Onwukanjo of the Igbo Language Campaign Committee have done what seemed impossible by the standards of Igbos in the diaspora, by doggedly fighting to get the two greatest institutions in academia to accept Igbo language as a course. This in effect means that Igbo language has now joined a distinguished list of languages to make into the Oxford/Cambridge Exam Board. This would also act as a catalyst for Igbo language to be strengthened within families, some of whom are ashamed of interacting with their children in Igbo. With this development the fear that Igbo language will become extinct in 75 years may prove to be just another pessimistic prediction. |

It will be quite interesting, when an Igbo Briton will come to teach the language to an Igbo Nigerian. Or maybe by the, there won't be any Igbo Nigerian but Igbo Biafrans! |
