We are still on the project of using Igbo folktales to teach values to our children.

Yesterday, we were at Stuff Link Schools, Abakpa-Nike, Enugu to carry out the project. It was such an experience for us and we had a good time interacting with the pupils and students.

Thread.
In line with the Centre for Memories' vision of sustaining Igbo memories, history and values, this project offers us the platform to do more for ourselves as ndị Igbo. This project is funded by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa, OSIWA.
As usual, we are grateful to OSIWA for their sponsorship, we are also grateful to everyone at Stuff Link Schools for their cooperation. Finally, we are grateful to our ever dependable volunteers who make out time to come around and make this project successful.

Daalụ nụ.

In 2008, Kingsley Eze established Tenece. More interestingly, he established it in Enugu, going against the preferred Lagos. By establishing in Enugu, Tenece has played a major role in placing the city on the technology map.

In 2015, Tenece set up Genesys...
...Tech Hub (still in Enugu) to train, incubate, and fund technology start-ups. So far, Genesys has incubated and funded 8 tech start-ups, supported over 145 small and medium scale enterprises, graduated over 300 software developers, and trained over 1,800 tech enthusiasts.
All of these may not have happened if Kingsley did not go against the grain to set up his firm in Enugu.

This is the concept of “aku ruo ulo”. This philosophy advocates that knowledge and wealth acquired in the diaspora should find its way back to the motherland to birth...

On Nov. 18th, it will be 70yrs since the Iva Valley massacre and we at the @cfmemories, in partnership with the Enugu Sports Club and @EnuguLiterary, are planning a memorial celebration.

Many don't know the story of the massacre. This thread summarises it.

👇 👇
The Iva Valley coal mine was opened in 1917, 2 years after the first one in Obwetti was opened. Both mines used the Pillar and Stall system for extracting coal, a system where the mine and the miners were divided into sections and fractions of specialized workers respectively.
During the World Wars 1 and 2, the coal from the Enugu Government Colliery was the major source of fuel for the Nigerian Government Railway, other West African railways and even England itself because of its central and strategic position.

#Thüringen - Die #AfD Wirkt!

Und das ist gut so!

#ThueringenWahl #Kemmerich #Ramelow #Hoecke
2. Die Mainstream-Medien taten ihr bestes uns #Ramelow als einen gemäßigten #Linken zu verkaufen: "In der falschen Partei", "einer von uns", Gast in allen Talkshows bis zu #Lanz, aber Rot-#Rot-#Gruen fand keine Mehrheit!
#Thueringen
3. Liebe auch wie die Mainstream-Framingmedien ständig vom Willen der Wähler sprachen: Aber Rot-#Rot-#Gruen hat nur 42 Sitze im Landtag #Thüringen, #CDU + #AfD + #FDP haben zusammen 48!

Also was wollte der Wähler? Rot-#Rot-Grün? Wohl eher nicht!

The Lagos State Govt
@followlasg
Lagos State Government on Monday wielded the big stick against the menace of commercial motorcycles (Okada) and tricycles (Keke NAPEP) @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
Proscribing their operations in six Local Government Areas (LGAs), nine Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) and 10 major highways across the State with effect from February 1 @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
LASG directed security operatives to embark on a total enforcement of the State’s Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018 to immediately address the chaos and disorderliness created by illegal operations of Okada and tricycle riders in restricted areas #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

10. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

IGBO & IGBO DENIERS

Igbo Bụ Igbo (Igbo is Igbo) But We Have Igbo Deniers

The grandfather & one of the earliest known #IgboDeniers is the acclaimed Ikwerre Writer from Aluu – Elechi Amadi (He schooled in Yoruba land & was a Nigerian soldier during the war).
He went to the Oputa Panel in 2004 & told the whole world that Ikwerre is not Igbo.

Later day Igbo Denying apostles include a certain Henry Okelue (@4eyedmonk) who is only known on Twitter where he claims that Anioma or Delta Igbo are not Igbo.

#IgboDeniers
#Ozoemena
The question is this. If Igbo bụ Igbo, what is the motivation of these #IgboDeniers? The simple chief answer is this. “Failure is an orphan”.
