Hi everyone, greetings from this honorable platform. Udo diri unu o.
I came across post from one of our brother and thought I should share it for us to ponder and act on. What do you think?
NZUKO ỤMỤNNA
What Is Ụmụnna ?
Ụmụnna is Kindred.
Ndi ụmụnna is your Kinsmen
*******************************
Ụmụnna is your father's blood relations...
INSIDE ỤMỤNNA WE HAVE:
Ụmụnna
Ụmụ Ada/ Ụmụ Ọkpụ
Ndị Nwunye di
Ụmụ Okorobịa na Umu Agbọghọbịa
OUTSIDE ỤMỤNNA WE HAVE:
Ụmụ Nwadiana
Ndị Ọgọ
Ikwu
Ibe
Agbata Obi
YOUR ỤMỤNNA REMAINS YOUR ỤMỤNNA
Your father is from that Ụmụnna
That your father's land or family land was inherited from that Ụmụnna
You too is from that Ụmụnna
Your Ndị Gboo and Ancestors are from Ụmụnna
You can't run away from your shadow
Onye amaghị ebe o si anaghị ama ebe ọ na-aga. That your education that is pumping your head, go and use it to better your Ụmụnna
Go back to your Ụmụnna
Go and join your Ụmụnna
Go and preach to your Ụmụnna
Gaa tọghata your Ụmụnna
Go and civilise your Ụmụnna
Go and educate your Ụmụnna
Go and computerize your Ụmụnna
Go and Digitalize your Ụmụnna
Go and tell them where they go wrong
Go and challenge your Ụmụnna
Go and sanitize your Ụmụnna
Stop complaining
NDI IGBO sị na
👇👇
Nsị anaghị anọ n'afọ esi isi
Your complaints can't stop your Ụmụnna
Go and interact with them and stop gossiping outside their meeting
NDI IGBO sị na Onye pụrụ ije pụrụ onye nọ n'ụlọ, Onye nọ n'ụlọ nọọrọ onye pụrụ ije.
Some of you will tag your ụmụnna ...
Ndị ekwe ekwe
Ndi mgbu
Ndị ogbu mmadụ
Some will say ....That nonsense they're doing there
Some will say....Adịghị akọzị ụdị akụkọ a
Some will say....Am above that stage
Some will call them evil Ụmụnna
Evil uncles, Evil elders
MY Brother, LET ME TELL YOU
Their decision remains supreme
Their conclusion remains supreme
With your technology, education, Wisdom, wealth. Computer first son, Deputy Jesus and whatever
You must come from somewhere.
Judiciary recognizes your Umunna
Nigeria Court would ask the stand of Ụmụnna in some cases
Real men belong to Ụmụnna, What of you?
Stop dumping your Umunna and your father's name in the dustbin.
Go and make your Umunna meeting digital if you're afraid of sitting with them.
Go and put their meeting online so that you can Participate from USA, UK, and contribute from anywhere you are through computer or your smart phone
Go and document your Ụmụnna meetings in case of tomorrow
Make sure you're with your Ụmụnna anytime anyday
Because any decisions they make even out of ignorance "stands" and can affect you and your family.
From Ụmụnna you will know your relations
From Ụmụnna you will know your traditions
From Ụmụnna you will know your history
From Ụmụnna you will know your age mates, your seniors and your juniors
From Ụmụnna you will trace your father's inheritance
From Ụmụnna you will trace your paternal relations and your maternal relations
Your Eze/Igwe is from Ụmụnna
Your PG is from Ụmụnna
Your Governor is from Ụmụnna
Ụmụnna is not evil, evil is everywhere
Ụmụnna doesn't kill
Ụmụnna doesn't poison
(Evil men can be anywhere, within your circle of friends or colleagues)
Your father is one of them
Your grand father was
Does your father kill?
Does your father poison?
Because your Ụmụnna is your father and your father is your Ụmụnna
Forget your money and your status
One day you must need your Ụmụnna
Whatever you're doing with your
Ndị yard
Ndị club
Ndị line
Ndị friends
Ndị meeting
Ndị Church
Ndị School mates etc can never take the place of your ụmụnna. One day, You will look for these people and won't see them but your ụmụnna will always be there. Igbo na-ekwu okwu sị na ozu sibe isi, enyi ka nwanne alaa.
When you get to your village this December or anytime try and join your ụmụnna, at least you will get to know your relatives from their.
Teach your children asụsụ Igbo, the language of their Ụmụnna! .
Ka udo diri unu
Thank you
