ṀYẸKẸẸMEDIA: THE POWER OF IGEDE LANGUAGE TO ME

PUBLICATION–039MM2023

ẸLA OCHICHE KA: I love Igede language even in my sleep and dreams.

In the mother's arms I was held,

And her language formed my mind.

A tongue that runs deep in my soul,

A language that's one of a kind.

My mother's tongue is unique,

As it tells of my culture's tale.

A language of love and respect,

That has never failed to prevail.

Mother tongue is my power,

As it gives me my identity.

A bond that ties me to my roots,

And my language's pedigree.

So let us cherish our mother's tongue,

As it is a symbol of our pride.

A language that speaks of our heritage,

That can never be denied.

IGEDE IHYỌ́Ọ́–it takes only interest and determination to learn please.
