PROJECT REPOSITION NDIGBO


 

7 Reasons Every Igbo Elder Should Join the Project Reposition Ndigbo of the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide (UNIEC)

The Igbo nation stands at a critical crossroads in history. Our people, scattered across the world, are endowed with ingenuity, resilience, and a spirit of enterprise. Yet, despite these strengths, we continue to suffer political marginalization, cultural dilution, and economic under-representation. It is for this reason that the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide (UNIEC) has unveiled the "Project Reposition Ndigbo" — a clarion call for all Igbo Elders, both at home and in the Diaspora, to unite in vision and action.

Here are seven compelling reasons why every Igbo Elder should join executing this project:

1. Guardianship of Our Heritage

Elders are the living custodians of Igbo tradition, culture, and values. Without their active involvement, our language, customs, and ethos risk erosion in the face of globalization. Joining the project ensures that our heritage is preserved, strengthened, and transmitted to future generations.

2. Political Reawakening

The Igbo voice has often been muted in national decision-making. Elders, as respected voices of wisdom, can provide the moral authority and strategic guidance needed to reposition Ndigbo politically. The project creates a united platform where our collective influence can no longer be ignored.

3. Economic Empowerment

From Onitsha to Houston, Aba to London, the Igbo are known for enterprise. Yet, we lack coordinated economic power. By joining this project, elders can mobilize networks, investments, and mentorship to build sustainable institutions and wealth that uplift our people globally.

4. Bridge Between Home and Diaspora

The Igbo Diaspora is vast and resourceful, but often disconnected from home. Elders abroad, working hand-in-hand with elders at home, can bridge this gap — fostering cultural reconnection, collaborative ventures, and solidarity across continents.

5. Defense of Collective Dignity

Our people have endured prejudice, misrepresentation, and neglect. Elders carry the responsibility of safeguarding Igbo dignity. This project provides a credible, organized front to defend the rights and image of Ndigbo, while correcting false narratives in Nigeria and beyond.

6. Mentorship for the Next Generation

The youths are the future, but without guidance, their energy risks being misdirected. Elders who join this project position themselves to mentor, inspire, and guide young Igbo men and women in leadership, entrepreneurship, and cultural pride.

7. Legacy of Unity

History has taught us that disunity weakens the Igbo nation. Project Reposition Ndigbo is not just about today, but about creating a legacy of unity that future generations will build upon. Elders who join today will be remembered as the architects of Igbo renaissance tomorrow.

Conclusion

Every Igbo Elder carries a sacred responsibility. By joining the Project Reposition Ndigbo of UNIEC, you are not just participating in another association — you are enlisting in a historic mission to restore the pride, dignity, and rightful place of Ndigbo in Nigeria and the world.

The time is now. Let us rise together, so that history will record that in our time, the Elders of Ala Igbo answered the call.

“Alaba Rago Has Fallen: Igbo, Think Home Before It Is Too Late!”

  BEING A SPEECH DELIVERED BY H. E. PASTOR MICHAEL OBIERIKA AT A UNIEC SUMMIT Distinguished Elders, Respected Leaders, my brothers and sisters in the struggle for the survival and prosperity of Ndigbo—I speak to you this morning as a Concerned Elder Statesman.  Just a few days ago, the Lagos State Government sent in its bulldozers. And in the twinkling of an eye, Alaba Rago —was demolished, reduced to dust and silence. In case you do not know, Alaba Rago is that sprawling Hausa cattle market that had fed countless families, powered trade, and stood as a testimony to Northern enterprise in Lagos.  That, my people, is not just the fall of a market. It is a warning from history . A message written in bold letters, not only to the Hausa who owned that market, but especially to us, the Igbo—because we, more than any other people, have invested the sweat of our brow and the blood of our youth into Lagos. But let me ask us here today: if Alaba Rago could fall, what t...

Okolie Raises Alarm Over Collapsing Federal Roads in Delta State Calls on Presidency, FERMA, and Ministry of Works to Act Urgently By Our Reporter Asaba, Delta State – A Patron of the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide, (UNIEC) and member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ngozi Okolie, has raised fresh concerns over the worsening state of major federal roads in Delta State, describing them as “lifelines now failing at great human and economic cost.” Speaking in a statement yesterday, Okolie highlighted three critical corridors — the Asaba-Illah-Ebu-Ubiaja Road, the Asaba-Onitsha Expressway, and the Okpanam-Asaba Highway — all of which he said have deteriorated into death traps despite repeated parliamentary interventions. “These roads are not just infrastructure; they are lifelines that connect people, communities, and economies,” Okolie declared. “Yet today, they stand as stark reminders that government promises must be matched...

UNIEC Condemns Barbaric and Brutal Attack By Terrorists On Worshippers At Christ Apostolic Church

Image
  Statement from the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide e United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide condemns—unequivocally and in the strongest terms—the barbaric and brutal attack carried out by armed gunmen on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku, Kwara State, on the night of November 18, 2025. This horrific incident, in which innocent Christians gathered in a vigil were savagely attacked, is an affront to every principle of humanity, decency, and civilized society. Reports indicate that the attackers opened fire on worshippers, killing at least three congregants and abducting several others, including the pastor. This tragedy shakes the conscience, not only because of the loss of innocent lives, but also because of the chilling nature of the attack. How can it be said that murderers took their time slaughtering old men and women in cold blood—unchallenged? How can such unspeakable evil unfold in a supposedly civilized society without the immediate intervention of s...
