Umu IGBOToday, I stand before you to proudly declare that, together, we have achieved a monumental victory. With unwavering determination and empirical evidence, we have defeated the identity crises that have long plagued the Igbo nation.For too long, our people have faced questions about their heritage, their culture, and their very identity. But we have fought back against these attempts to erase our history and distort our narrative.Through rigorous research, meticulous documentation, and unshakeable conviction, we have presented an unassailable case for the Igbo nation's rich cultural heritage and its invaluable contributions to human civilization.We have shown that our language, our customs, and our traditions are not inferior to any other. We have demonstrated that our history is not a footnote, but a robust chapter in the annals of human history.And we have proven that our identity is not a source of shame, but a badge of honor. We are Igbo, and we are proud.This victory is not just a triumph for our nation; it is a testament to the power of collective action, academic rigor, and community resilience.So let us celebrate this momentous occasion, even as we acknowledge the challenges that still lie ahead. Let us continue to uplift our heritage, to promote our culture, and to defend our identity.For we are the Igbo nation, and we will not be silenced. We will not be erased. And we will not be defeated.Thank you.Chukwuemeka, The Unify IGBOS Now convener
