A. OPENING THOUGHT:
It is fruitless to blame everyone else for the woes we may bring on ourselves by the reckless embrace of extra-terrestrial values. While it may be for some a very convenient action for our cherished heritage to be thrown to the passageway and turn full circle to assume a victim mentality, to others is an aberration and sacrilege. We need to tell ourselves the gospel truth; we must maintain our heritage and ensure its survival in the best form regardless of the eroding power of modernity.
Our truthful, honest and liberal nature. Our hospitality and neighbourliness. Our love and tolerance. Our humility and resilience. Our glamorous yet modest lifestyles. A society ruled by reason and justice. A peaceful community that fosters interpersonal harmony and is allergic to violence. All facets of Igede society must embrace this. Let us strive for the best possible society.
