A. OPENING THOUGHT:
We cannot claim to effectively protect and advance the language when the generality of the people is not willing to own the process.
To ensure effective coordination of the process of Igede language development throughout generations, we should be able to clarify the decision-making processes. We should honestly enhance the lines of communication, up, down and across the length and breadth of the land.
We must be bold enough to work on several excesses from advocates that are not knowledgeable in the language and are not willing to learn but to keep on writing and publishing in the public domain. We should work on clipping the wings of people that have an exaggerated and selfish span of control. We should
strategically reposition and transform our approach to the writing and reading of Igede language if we care about its survival.
B. IGEDE PROVERBS:
Proverb: ỌNGỌHẸ Á RA ỊTẸ BWU IHYI KAKA JU ỊLỌMWỤ ẸHỊ KA.
Literal level: No one buys pepper from the market with the sole purpose of making the pepper an injurious source to the eye.
Contextual level: You don’t invite disaster or trouble with your hand or resources. What you own should work in your favour and not against you.
