Joke of the year,An Hausa man trying to promote Igbo culture.

Igbo men businesizing the country since I know yash.

Is a welcome development, Igbo kwe nu

Okoroawusa

Of what use is this to an igbo man. All these people are just looking for a way to remain relivient to igbo people but they have failed, no salary, bad governance and stupid leadership... Okorocha is a disgrace to who ever voted him in.. Nonsense

Adaure4ever:
Some Igbos calling him Okoroawusa and abusing him should stop it.. Its getting embarrasing.
You don't wash ur dirty pants in public.
Others are watching.
If he is erring in any way, we should bring him inside the "Obi" advice him as a brother, and not abusing him up and down.
... Nice gesture from him.

Are u going to offer the advice in Hausa or Fulani language? Certainly not in Igbo.

Afam4eva:
The problem of Igbo extinction has never been about people who live in Igboland but about those who live outside it. The government should do something about the Igbos in Diaspora.

That is not correct those in Diaspora can never make Igbo language extinction OK.Charity begins at home

He is regarded as the greatest because he is the only governor who agreed to be openly accepted to be an Hausa slave. No normal igbo will agree to be enslaved

I thought he's been forming Alhaji?

ELVISHOT:
*Makes Igbo language study compulsory in Imo schools

By Clifford Ndujihe

LAGOS—AFTER years of planning, tinkering and preparation, the first Igbo language newspaper, Ikoro, is ready.

The newspaper will be presented on March 15 by Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.


Speaking on the issue, Dr Samfo Nwankwo, Special Adviser to the Imo State Governor on Igbo Affairs, said eminent Igbo leaders including Dr Alex Ekwueme, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (retd), Chief Enwo Igariwey, Pascal Dozie and Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (retd) among others are expected at the ceremony billed for Imo Internal Conference Centre, Owerri.

Nwankwo, who is also director, Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu Centre, OWENI, spoke during a courtesy visit to Vanguard Newspapers.

Apart from Ikoro, he said the governor would on the same day launch the compulsory learning and teaching of Igbo language in all schools in Imo State.

Asked if the governor was copying the Yoruba and Hausa, which have newspapers in both languages, Nwankwo said no, stressing that the move is to ensure that the Igbo language did not go into extinction.

‘’The fact that Igbo language is going extinct, which is a dangerous development is behind the move. If nothing is done to arrest the situation, we will have identity crisis. We felt attention should be paid to the reading of Igbo language, which is part of our culture. It is time for us to go back to our roots and be proud of our language,’’ he said.

He said the compulsory learning and teaching of Igbo language in all schools in Imo up to first and second years in higher institutions is backed by the “Development of Igbo Language Law 9 of the Imo State House of Assembly.’’

Disclosing that publication of Ikoro is being funded and sponsored by the Imo State Government, he said the paper would cover the five South-East states and other Igbo-speaking parts of the country.

This is not the first Igbo newspaper to be published. There have been Igbo newspapers already in circulation as of the 2000s.

Young man let me tell you Igbos fought a war and lost,therefore if you want to rule this country you corporate with the other tribes of Nigeria to win a presidential election that is the bitter truth.Beside no tribe will win election alone.the Earlie Igbos understand this the better for them.

NOTHING LIKE SLAVE MASTTER, IF YOU DO NOT BEND YOUR HEAD NO ONE SHOULD.THAT WILL BE ANOTHER DAY.
VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE, APPRECIATE YOUR OWN.I HOPE YOU ARE NOT FROM ANAMBRA WHO ONLY CHERISH THOSE FROM THEIR STATE AND BRING THE REST OF IGBO PEOPLE DOWN.SEE NOTHING GOOD FROM OTHER IGBO STATE EXCEPT THEIRS.THIS MADNESS MUST STOP IF WE WANT OTHER NIGERIANS TO RESPECT US AS A PEOPLE

Okorocha and lies!
There are Igbo newspapers since the 80's.

ezivision:
Who is this baby talking, UDOKA & OGENE was once Igbo newspapers.

All these indomie generation (by age and maturity) that always jumps up for joy whenever they hear '1st Igbo this, 1st Igbo that,' ALWAYS ask your parents whenever you come across such claims because OGENE newspaper used to be in existence.

Is Gov. Okorocha an Igbo Man?

This is highly commendable and should be encouraged. Other state governors from the eastern part of the Country should emulate this action of Gov. Rochas Okorocha to revive Igbo Language and replicate same in their respective states. Before now, I was worried that those in leadership positions in Igbo land were not doing anything to ensure the survival of Igbo Language.. Thank God, the Imo State Governor has taken the bold step. Rather than vilify him, we should commend him. People might have their differences but we need to do away with sentiments and appreciate somebody when he does something good, including your enemy so that the region and the country as whole will move forward.

If he is an hausa slave what do you call his colleagues like Peter Obi,T.A Orji and co,who continue to rick-boot Mr GEJ until they drawn Ndiigbo into political oblivion. Are they Ijaw?

But I thought they said Cockroacha was on the run from EFCC?

You owe Imo civil servants many months of salary.

EFCC are looking into squandered bail out funds for Imo State.

And a failed governor is establishing a newspaper.

Governor Okorocha, may your entire generation eat newspapers

Keep living in lies.

Rochas Okorocha built the Igbozurume cultural center Enugu for Igboland and built the Ikemba Ojukwu convection center in Owerri in honor of Ojukwu while he was still alive and now launched the Igbo newspaper. Tell me one thing these other men have done for Igboland not their State or community.

Why don't you go and live in those places that he built. That's how shallow your mentality is. You will follow Rochas to jail one day

Do not forget that Ijaws and Igbos are brothers. So you don't make any sense here.

Men!....... This's the best news of all time I've read on Nairaland. Okorocha seems to me like someone who know something about education. Not only should Igbo language be made compulsory, but it should also dethrone English language as the language of instruction in schools. To do a thorough job he should put Igbo first before English. Then, over some few years the people of Imo state would be free from intellectual slavery.

We felt attention should be paid to the reading of Igbo language, which is part of our culture. It is time for us to go back to our roots and be proud of our language,’’ he said.

Someone should inform the governor that it is the language itself that is the culture!. Culture is just language expressing itself through a people. The way a people talk, the way a people sign-language, the way a people pronounce words, the way a people behave, e.t.c is all tied to language.

If you destroy a people's language all these other traits would fall apart!. I've explained this in details on the link on my signature.

In fact, culture is nothing but a single unit of an individual carrying traits natural to a given community. One Yoruba man or woman is one unit of Yoruba culture. One Igbo man or woman is one unit of Igbo culture. One Hausa man or woman is one unit of Hausa culture. One Zulu man or woman is one unit of Zulu culture, e.t.c.

If you kill every Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa people, leaving one man and woman, the two of them would populate a new generation of the same culture!.

Culture is condensed language!!. If you destroy a people's language you've destroyed all.

I hope its in ndsibidi script
