Mbe uwa bidoro, mbeahu agwum akukwo agba ohuru abatabe na ala Igbo, ndi Igbo na eji ohere Ifode amuta ofodu ihe site na omenala ruo na omenelu. Dika bibulu si diri umu Chineke, Ifo dika bibulu ndi Igbo.
Akuko ifo bu ifo okenye na gwa umuazi na abali mgbe onwa n’acha. Mbe ha ga ebido, umuazi n’ile ga agbako okirikiri onye na gwa ha ifo. Ha ga e gee nti ofuma maka onye na agwa ha ifo ga aju ajuju.
Mgbe oga ebido, onye nae kwu ifo ga asi; Ifode…
Ha za De…
Osi; Onwere akuko m ga akorunu
Ha za; Koro anyi ka obi di anyi mma


Akuko Ifo na ko maka ihe nile basara etu esi ebi ndu. Akuko Ifo na ko kari maka umu anumanu na agwa ha. Mbe na wukari onye aghuho. Abukwala mbe nyere mmadu ibe gi. Agu bu anumanu siri ike karia umu anumanu nile. O ya ka ha na akpo Eze ohia. Ona elekwazi ohia nile, na gba mbo ihu na umu anumanu biri n’udo. Okuko bu onye arafo ya mere ndi Igbo ruo taa naeji ya achu aja.


Ifo na akuzi otutu ihe. Ona ekuzi agboghobia na okorobia obi umeala na agwaoma. Ona ekwuzi  na anyauku adighi mma. Ona ekwuzikwa ndidi, ihunaya na idikanotu ebe ibegi no. Ona ado umuagboho na umuokorobia aka na nti basara olulu di na nwuye. Onakwazi a za ofodu ajuju umuaka ugba na ju basara uwa na omume ndi Igbo.



Akuko Ifo anaghi eji ilu egwu egwu. Dika Chinua Achebe si kuo, Ilu bu mmanu iri eji ata okwu. Ifo n'eji ilu ndi Igbo a ko akuko jikwazi ya naenye ndumodu. Ilu ndi Igbo na to uto na nti.

Udo diri gi dika isi gba mbo guo edemede’m. Dika ndi Igbo siri kwuo, Ogologo oku adighi na uka mbede. Ekwuchalam, mbe emecha, mga edekwa ihe ozo basara emume ndi Igbo.
Igbo Amaka!

Did You Know?

The United Nations sets out March 14th every year to celebrate World Kidney day. In Nigeria, it is estimated that 18,000 patients need dialysis yearly and about 25 million Nigerians have kidney failure . https://m.guardian.ng/news/25m-Nigerians-have-kidney-failure-says-nephrologists/  Did you know that for over a decade, the Aminu Kano teaching hospital has been into the business of giving patients with Kidney failure another chance of living through successful Kidney transplants. Not many persons or hospitals know about this. Just last year, a woman I know had kidney failure and the best the hospital could do was to place her on dialysis while advising the family to take her abroad for a transplant. When I came back home during Christmas and was told the cause of the death, I was very disappointed. Disappointed that a teaching hospital could not do a Kidney transplant and disappointed that I could have done something about it after all. I felt the regret in the eyes of the bere...

Dear prospective corp members, you are about to get into one of the most stressful weeks of your life. The next three weeks you are going to spend in camp would be one you would never forget in a hurry. Without trying to scare you, you should get ready for a strictly regimented and militarized lifestyle immediately you step into camp. Life on camp is similar to life in a military regime.

As early as 5:30 am, you should be on the parade ground. Well, if you think you didn’t have enough sleep, not to worry. You could continue at the parade ground. I for one slept on the parade ground while standing. You can do it too.  After parade, you’re given some minutes to take breakfast and get yourself ready for one activity or another. In camp, there’s very little or no time for personal upkeep which is why most persons had thei...

The Leftie Myth

-
In the part of the world where I come from, using your left hand to receive or give something to someone (especially an elder) is more or less seen as a taboo. Two things they say: you're not respectful and your mother didn't train you well. They cast aspersions on the left hand and ascribe negativism to everything that has to do with the left. Have you heard this saying "you woke up from the left side of the bed"? This is not very far away from the myth that asserts my original stance. So waking from the left side means you're automatically going to have a bad day. Have you also heard the myth that insinuates that giving a toast with your left hand is the same as placing a curse on the person you're saluting? Oh well, my mum said I had the tendency of using my left hand since I was an infant. She watched how I consistently used the hand with so  much vigour and power. She was convinced that she had given birth to an "Onye aka ikpa" and there was ...
