Obiano makes Igbo language
compulsory
Posted By: Nwanosike O



Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, and former
National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, have called on
Ndigbo not to allow Igbo language to go extinct.


The two spoke at the weekend at the Prof Dora Akunyili
Women’s Development Centre in Awka, during a summit
organised by Otu Suwakwa Igbo group, led by Prof Pita
Ejiofor, the former Vice Chancellor, Nnamdi Azikiwe
University (UNIZIK).
The programme was organised in collaboration with the
Anambra State Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, Culture and
Tourism.


Addressing the crowd, Obiano announced that Igbo
language had become compulsory in all the schools in
the state, while students should be wearing Igbo native
attires every Wednesday.
Also, every school in the state must make speaking of
Igbo language every Wednesday compulsory, while the
era of folk tales should be brought back with immediate
effect.


The governor said with all these measures and
establishment of Igbo radio in the state soon, Igbo
language would not die as being speculated.
He also promised to take one or two persons of the Igbo
group abroad each year, during what he called Anambra
Day and World Igbo Congress (WIC).
For Umeh, any society that abandons its language would
never go forward, adding that language binds the people
together.
He said speaking and writing of Igbo language in
schools should be made compulsory, lamenting that
Ndigbo had abandoned their language and culture for
foreign ones.


Anambra state Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs,
Culture and Tourism, Mrs. Stella Onuorah, condemned
private schools that flog their students for speaking Igbo
language in their schools.


She said by such act, they were helping Igbo language
to go into extinction, adding that they should teach their
students Igbo and encourage them to write it, just like
what happens in the North and West.

Igbo language has been compulsory since in anambra so I don't kw wat he is talking about


I think Obiano should pay more attention to his agbada dressing which is not Igbo dressing that he normally wear on Igbo occasion Dan all this eye service

Politics

This is unconstitutional

Where is months to cry about the unconstitutionality. He made a thread crying for 15 pages over Lagos. I hope he'll have energy to denounce his own kin. I'm guessing he'll just expose himself as unprincipled, hypocritical and suspected bigot.

It's no longer compulsory for 2years now

If this happened within the last 2 years, then Obiano should be held responsible as he has been governor for nearly 4 years now.
Abi I lie?

Where are those fools that have been wailing non-stop since the beginning of this week on top Yoruba matter? Guess they will be too ashamed to show their faces (that is if they are honorable) or be swift to tell us how Anambra was developed with Igbos wealth only. Awon akuri gbogbo.

where's that foolish he-goat,omo igbo jatijati called months

I support you on this one. The Igbos should vote for Obiano in Anambra state in the next month election. They should try and salvage whatever is left of their ethnic pride by supporting their own, which is APGA in this case. If Obiano loses, it means that is the end of APGA. The APC guy appears like a thug and by the way, he was the PDP candidate in 2013. So it really does not make sense that APC will continue in their buffoonery of fielding former PDP member as their candidate.

Sounds like a contradictory information being presented on thread. If it's already compulsory why is he calling for it. Is he calling for it at lower levels. Next people on her said it isn't compulsory. Which is it?

Next you're saying Igbo language compulsory is only for igbos. I didn't see him make such clarification. I guess the school full of name checkers to make sure your studying igbo.

So igbos made igbo language compulsory in their states but don't want Yoruba language made compulsory in a Yoruba state


These guys are b*st*rds..... Walahi

Even UNN, a federal university is now ibo only school. You'll hardly see up to 3% from other tribes there.

But they go to OAU, UI, ABU and others to claim right as Nigerians.

The day Yorubas will wake up and say enough is enough is the day their world ends. That day is surely coming soon.

It’s even laughable.

Who is forcing Ibos to put on Yoruba attire in Lagos?

I wish they were forced. I’m tired of seeing carpet looking attire with animal pictures on it. Are you guys calling yourselves zoo animals?

I’m talking about the Ibo trad attire. The one your men wear on top of their skirt.
