Languages are an important parts of our culture. It defines a people, their thinking and way of life. It is a unifying factor for the people. The language of the South - Eastern part of Nigeria is Igbo langauge. Some of the minorities in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria also speak Igbo language. The language is about to be extinct, because people feel that it's when you speak English, that you will be reckoned to be a great person in the society. We have quite a lot of moral norms and customs of traditional African society expressed in proverbs and folk stories. As an Ethicist and social reformer, I have done an extensive research on social ills in the society, and discovered that I can lend a helping hand for a transformation of our society. I want to be known for what I have done to the Nigerian society and the world at large. Based on the above reasons, I have started a programme for the revival and promotion of Igbo language known as "Onunekwuluora" which literally means "voice for the voiceless" in English language. I will urge all and sundry to be listening to the programme every Saturday between 11.30am - 12 noon on GOUNI Radio 106.9FM. You can listen live via our live streaming feed: www.1069gouniradio.com/listenlive on your computer, Ipad, tablet or mobile phone.
