‘Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem’ is a cliché among adherents of Christ. It was said to the resurrected Christ by Cleopas, one of the two disciples on the way to Emmaus as recorded in the Gospel of Luke 24:18. The disciples were surprised that an adult like the person they were traveling with is oblivious of the recent happenings in Jerusalem. Away from that–this is the first Ihyigile after Igede Agba 2022. I hope we are gradually settling down to regular life after the pomp and pageants.
Are you the only stranger in Igede land’ Yes you are! if you have not seen or heard of “Ákwọ kpa Ochiri-Ochiri kpa Ákwọ –Igede Pocket Diary.” The brain behind the celebrated Diary that has propelled the identity of the land and the language is Pastor Ede Ogbu. Ákwọ as he is popularly known is a man with overdose of passion for the promotion of Igede culture, values and traditions. He is from Ebenta Uwokwu in Okpokpo Council Ward of Oju Local Government of Benue State. He is married to Margaret, the ever supporting wife and a great marketer of the diary and they are blessed with children.
From Ekurwe: Igede Watch – Thanks greatly Ákwọ!
