I am not an Igede person because I was born there.
I am not an Igede person because I can say ‘Myeeke’ and ‘Obe’.
I am not an Igede person because I have cultural attire.
I am not an Igede person because I could point to my family land.
I am not an Igede person because I can sing and dance to her cultural music.
I am not an Igede person because I am from the royal stock with ‘Ugbang abwo iye abwo iye’.
I am not an Igede person because I can recite ‘ego nya Igede’ and other eulogies.
I am an Igede person because I embody Igede moral values– honesty and integrity, love and neighbourliness and my blood pulses to the rhythm of peaceful coexistence and trouble-free Igede land.
