Onye si na ifeoma adighi ya nma, the person should clock into Bed before the Rooster.
Every Tribe and Tongues do have Ejirim Malu (Identity), and you can brainwash them all you want but the Ejim Malu set them apart and it is what Ndigbo hands down to generation which is revered as Okpu tolu Okpu(Generation to Generation), but in this dispensation, I have began to have a great phobia of what will become of Ndigbo ma acho this remaining generation acho?.
We have no plans of preservation or Chronicles for future generations..
We just dey live our lives dey go as in ebe Esu Nwualu buru ini ya (Wherever Milipede dies should be the burial place).
We have gladly accepted all the Norms in adjacent Tribes, the worst is that we prefer adulterated than originality.
When the days was nigh, the ground sacred, we use to have EGWU Onwa which gave meaning to Tales by Moonlight and Folk tales, but as we speak, it have been grinded and displayed like a Powder displayed in Sauser Pan at the middle of Raging Wind, just imagine powder in the wind.
Our Burials has turned to shocking mockery of burying the death, we have turned it to another theatrics where Corpse has turned to Football and object of caricature.
In those days of Yore,We Mourn the death, we have our Youths Dug the grave, we have members of the Clan carry the Corpse into Grave as mark of Last respect, but today what we have is UNDERTAKERS who will under take the Contract of burying that Goddam Lump of Wood, no respect, no affection, no remorse and certainly based on Contract, so the right of the death has turned to merchant to the unconcerned.
Then we accepted the ASO EBI craze, where we the relations of the death, instead to act as the bereaved, we started a trade of selling Clothes to people who never knew us, never knew the dead person and do not care, you gave them Uniform as members of mourner and they ransom it with money, all the money generated from such silly episode is like ife aghutalu na akuku Eze ona Ana na akuku onu(What ever one scoop out of the gap between the teeth, will disappear in the mouth, it adds no value and quench no hunger).
God save our soul from this Ding Dong idiocy... But moving on..
Yoroba are known for FUJI MUSIC, see them on occasions they can proudly identify with the Fuji and other Local Ochestra, the pride of Yoroba land.
Awusa can't do without their style of music which must be with UBO AKWARA and nothing can make them accept Western version of music above theirs....
But today in ALAIGBO.. our culture is not only fractured, but MUSIC the LORE of Life has been taking apart into tits and Bits without a care in the World.
The days we have Mike Ejegha Eze EGWU Ekpiri, the king of Fork tales.
Keduzi Maka OZO EMENA NSUGBE, onye anyi ji Malu Maka NSUGBE...?
The Legends of MKPOKITI.. EGEDEGE na Unubi.. Etc
There are no longer Originality in our music, it is either one dysentery we call music or the foreign import called CHRISTIAN MUSIC which constitute more noise with foreign Rythm..
When I was growing up, we use to have EGWU NDI YOUTH FELLOWSHIP or Nke Ndi APA, there you heard originality, you listen and dance Gospel and you see Angel's on mission stop and join na eweli the music, that was when Music made sense, that was the Era of real Music bonded with Lyrics that made sense.
The traditional OGENE music then will make a Boy to have a frenzy, climb Trees with the propelent dinge of the music.
But today, what do we have?..
A plastered and desecrated music that is as Fake as many faces of our girls, 97% of what you see on thiers faces are fake..
The Hair Fake, the Eyes fake as it is supported with Contact lenses, the Eye brow Fake as it was scraped and use Pencil to design map of Ugwuoba over it,Eye lash look like broom Ndi Witch,The Mouth painted to look like Nmanwu Ndi OBA, the Face Proper painted with Foundation a cancer causing chemical, then powdered down with so many others, once you look at face of a Girl, you see Fake and if her face should be fake, no need to ask about her heart and character, for the fake Face is evidence of Fake person, but I digress..
Thanks to UGWUMBA production with YG29 for planning on adding flair while they bring back OGENE FESTIVAL.
Since INNOSON Co sponsored that TV PORN called BBN, I know they will like to come back to originality, especially now they have started modeling Sound and perfect vehicles after IGBO names such as IKENGA.
We have many Factories in IGBO LAND that can sponsor this program and make it ANNUAL Festival that will be GBAKO NZUKO Ndigbo, after all, onye kpoo OBA ya Mkpokoro Ndi agbata Obi ewelu ya kpofue afifia, ours can never be washed away.
The OGENE festival is coming up on MARCH 2020 at EKWUEME SQUARE IN OKA, the Capital of Anambara state.
I believe that Igbo Men, Companies shall not be found wanting in promotion and sponsorship of this EVENT.
Even Churches can't have any excuse to abstain because even OGENE can make more melody than that Gbam Gbam Tim Gbam of the foreign acoustic noises.
The Promoters should make haste and meet with Ndigbo with sense of NKEA bu Nke anyi for Sponsorship..
We have Able and Vibrant Souls like High Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo "Onwa na Umuchu".
We have Mr Valentine Ozigbo the CEO of Transcorp Group who single handedly sponsored ALL PRAISE a Christian Music Festival and he is sponsoring FREE STYLE FOOTBALL, a competition he made to have traction, I can bet that this OGENE Festival will be a welcome acceptance to him.
How about DR GODWIN MADUKA, the PAIN HEALER from UMUCHUKWU, American trained but IGBO VIBRANT BILLIONAIRE.
I know that OBI JACKSON of OKIJA zuru ka eme and sponsoring this kind of event will bring his AKU closer to UNO.
How about Dr Chigozie Nwankwo of WICHTECH GROUP OF COMPANIES?.
The Event should go round all the states in South, then at interval be exported to LONDON, AMERICA, EUROPE and even those people that uses STONE to do Yam Festival, I mean Germans.
OGENE Festival should be made to go round to everywhere Ndigbo live, be it North or South, that is our Culture, the language and sound of Ndigbo, the Rythm we must hand over to our children and a Sound that we should export to the World, so they will hear and adopt originality.
I would've suggested also meeting Senator Ifeanyi Ubah of CAPITAL OIL, but I feel the best thing for him now, is to lie low and let this breeze with lethal Harmattan pass over him first, ndia na acho imemina Ndi Igbo ji eje ife.. ma na Chi anyi ka fa ncha.
I once again thank the Promoters of this restoration movement, the OGENE FESTIVAL... for those Ndigbo ji eme onu that wants to be part of this event, the promoters can be contacted on and with..
