EKE HAS RETURNED UMUIGBO, DO WE STILL REMEMBER WHERE WE COME FROM?
🌿🔥 EKE HAS RETURNED UMUIGBO, DO WE STILL REMEMBER WHERE WE COME FROM? 🔥🌿
Eke has come again, UmuIgbo.
Before the noise of the marketplace, before the rush for money and daily survival, let us remember those whose footsteps came before ours.
Ndichie anyị, ndị nna anyị ochie our ancestors and the generations that carried our names before we arrived.
Today, we do not gather because we have gold or silver. We gather with gratitude.
For the breath in our bodies.
For the strength to rise again.
For our families, our children, our homes and our daily work.
May our Chi stand with us. May the wisdom of our ancestors remain a light upon our path. May Mother Earth continue to receive our footsteps and return our efforts with good fortune.
Where there is hardship, may there be a way forward.
Where there is confusion, may there be wisdom.
Where there is delay, may progress come.
And wherever our people are today, may they remember the strength of being Igbo.
Eke ọma diri unu, UmuIgbo.
Let us never become so modern that we forget the hands that built the foundation beneath our feet.
Ise! Ise! Ise! 🌿🕯️
