THE IGBO CORPORATE WAY OF DRESSING
By
Remy Ilona
Most people are not, and will never be aware of the dangers facing Igbos. Dangers stemming from Igbo alienation from Igbo culture and religion. If you are alienated from Omenana, you are automatically without an identity, because no identity except the 'Igbo identity' will suit and fit you. With anything else you look like that bird that thinks itself a butterfly.
Gladly, many wise Igbos have joined us in Omenana Defenders (OD) to fight for Igbo regeneration and survival.
How do you remain an Igbo in the 21st century, with Western culture's total domination of the world? You need wisdom to negotiate this question. Of course you need hard work too.
Now why these? After you've worked hard and come up with things that work, what do you get? Recriminations, and attacks from people who never thought there was a problem, let alone think of solutions. As far as I know no Sikh would fly out to attack the figure on the above, to falsely accuse him of not dressing traditionally, but some of my beloved people who have not thought that Igbos even have a dress, routinely fly out to attack me for coming up with this- which makes me both an Igbo and a 21st century human!
I pray to become a patient man!
