The Eze Ndigbo Ifako Ijaiye Lagos State, Eze Michael Ezekwobi (Oyiomanatu Ndigbo Gbaagburugburu) has called on Ndigbo in Ifako Ijaiye to continue to remain at peace with their host community.
In a statement, the Royal Father said only peace will guarantee progress and the well-being of Ndigbo in the Diaspora.
While commending members of his cabinet for their loyalty and dedication in promoting Igbo culture in the Diaspora, Ezekwobi said their action was in line with the legacy of the Eze Igbo gburugburu, Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu that Ndigbo in the Diaspora establish cultural Ezes whose responsibility is to ensure that Igbo culture is promoted and sustained outside Igboland.
On what he has been doing to promote Igbo culture in Ifako Ijaiye, Ezekwobi said he made Igbo language compulsory in all his meetings and social engagements.
“For our culture to remain afresh and alive in the mind of our people, we agreed that Igbo language remains our official means of communication during our meetings. We also ensure that our wives speak the language to our children. This measure will help save our language from extinction. Also , we hope to celebrate the annual New Yam festival 2024 in Ifako Ijaiye in a grand style,” he said.
