An Igbo Perspective
We Provide Courses In Igbo Language
Seven sessions in the main, for beginners and those who want to polish and improve on both their spoken and written ability in the language of their forebearers. Igbo is a name, a race, custom, place and system of expressions that go far back to 874th year of man on earth. The sessions shall emphasize on the special dispensations of Igbo and will empower the young ones of Igbo extraction residing in London to be prouder than novice; those, who have never had the opportunity to indulge in this poetic and expressive language. These workshops will have language, numerical, historical and cultural perspectives in abundance. .

Fabian Ukaegbu LLB(Hons) MA
Chairman
fabian@igboinstitute.uk
He is a founding guru and a man of substance in Igbo affairs. He
believes in justice as the only way forward. He is a researcher with
vision for the new era. He has reached rare depths and heights and
has published highly challenging and provocative books (history,
religion and current affairs: nedbooks.uk). He is an Igbo man
born and showered with Igbo customs. He believes that Igbo holds the
key to the new and better world order.
He believes in critical and
constructive instead of rhetorical learning. He likes calm,
constructive and informative debates. He is a believer in humanity
and customs. His concept of unison is an impartial commitment to all
that is good for one and all, which was the pedigree of Igbo before
AD 1441. He is also a friend of the earth, the dominion of man, where
human is the ultimate sufferer or beneficiary of all causes. He has
divine enlightenment and believes that all is not lost for mankind.
His thought for the Institute is a forum for learning where people
should drop pride, temper and assumption and wear scholarly aprons to
entertain themselves and others. If life is too short, let us make it rosier while it lasts.
