IGEDE NATION IN THE COMITY OF ETHNIC GROUPS

THE PANACEA FOR RELEVANCE OF IGEDE LANGUAGE IN THE COMITY OF ETHNIC GROUPS: In strengthening the medium (words/language) by which culture is transmitted from one generation to another, the language needs to be expansive, adaptive and relevant to the current revolution in science and technology. It seems Igede language is limited as could be inferred in many things we find difficult to call and give meanings to. The quality of our language and culture will determine our preparedness for the demand of the current century. Language is the most important element of culture; it is the vehicle through which other elements express themselves. It is the instrument of communication, it is the means through which people organize their experiences and transmit their culture from one generation to another. As the keystone of culture, its preservation is the heights of civilization and ethnic fervor.
