MY MAMA SAY I BE IGBO ' A Menace that has to be Curbed'
It has become very necessary to teach our children the IGBO LANGUAGE that is fast going into instinction.According to research conducted by United Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),IGBO language has been identified as one of the word's language that might be subsumed by other stronger languages by 2025,if the current speakers do nothing about it. Hence ,they opined that about 10,000,000 ( ten million) Ndigbo are needed to vote for the revival of IGBO language in order to increase the consciousness and the use of the language among adults and children,and thus,curb the menace of 'my papa say we be IGBO'~a virus that must be fought head long.
Of course if neglected,this disheartening situation will pose a great threat to the development of IGBO Nation,because language and culture of a people are the vital ingredient for their quest for survival,growth and development. It is often said that the "EASIEST WAY TO DESTROY A NATION IS TO FIST KILL HER LANGUAGE "hence the future of IGBO nation solely on us and our children.
