Culture THE KOLA NUT AND IGBO UNITY

THE KOLA NUT AND IGBO UNITY

THE KOLA NUT AND IGBO UNITY

The Igbo tradition of praying with the kola nut every morning by every family-head (paterfamilias) did not only unite Ndigbo with God but also with one another, including the dead.

If all Igbo family-heads, including our political leaders, had continued with this tradition till date, our unity would have been equal to none.

It is unthinkable that a political leader who prays with the kola nut every morning for his family and his political clan would ever sabotage against his people's interest just to remain in power.

The easiest way to kill a people is to kill that which binds them together because once the centre can no longer hold the parts will begin to disintegrate, to hate and destroy themselves. This lesson is valid for Ndigbo as it is for any other people.

We have to reinstate igo oji and so many other wonderful aspects of our culture that promote unity and love if we must survive as a people.

Udo diri unu umunnem.
