Monetisation of the IGBO culture
Why do some Nigerians not consider the the implications of what they are doing when driven by greed. Igbo culture is sacred.
In the Western World, and the UK in particular, the watchword in public service is accountability.
Someone would claim that they are running Charitable organisations in the UK without accounting for their stewardship. They float a charitable organisation, collect money from vulnerable people over a period of time, and with resign as directors or fold up the company.
Please, refer to the companies house of the UK and see how many Igbo organisations in the UK that folded up after collecting money from gullible Igbo in the UK. The so-called and self-acclaimed or imposed Igbo leaders capitalise on the ‘predicaments of people with immigration issues, gather them, and collect money from them in the name of cultural festivals.
Are those people not exposed to the risks of deportation as the police and border forces might invade such gatherings. Some of these people could be illegal or have criminal records. Again, since when did Igbo culture and the Ndi Eze of Igboland become object of ridicule? The Ezes of Igboland are revered. Why should they be dragged out of their Palaces to come to come overseas to install Chieftaincy for filthy lucre?
Are these people not exposing our revered traditional institutions to ridicule? Knowing that the laws of the UK does not respect anyone, associating our revered traditional rulers with men who are making merchandise of our people is a sacrilege.
The questions begging for answers are first, after about 47 igbo traditional organisations in the UK had contributed £400, why still ask for £3000 at a meeting last night? Must these people be milked dry before these self-serving men and women would let them be?
Charity Commission of the UK monitors and records event by any charitable organisation. Thus, motives, intentions, actions and outcomes are measured in the eyes of the laws of the land.
