Awkunanaw Voice(TM) Proposal!




Awkunanaw Voice™ Publication is designed to provide for the Okunano Osagwede clan a platform and a mouthpiece of people by the people and for the people. As the official media that provides information and articulates the activities of the Awkunanaw Carnival Group, Awkunanaw Voice™ engages every indigene of the clan by igniting, sharing and archiving the oral traditions and cultural values of our history.

The Awkunanaw Voice™ team is committed to opening this carnival to all groups (kindred, villages, towns and music groups) in Okunano Osagwede Clan. The carnival being the first of its kind cultural and entertainment project, and having been praised and accepted widely by her many partners for the efforts made to widen the appeal of our culture and traditions. Awkunanaw Carnival Group would like to demonstrate that we understand the issues and barriers faced by our people, by producing a robust equity action plan; we are clear about what we need to do to become more equitable.

                         “We need our heritage like we need food, water, and shelter.”
That’s something we hear daily. But in a world where warfare destabilizes states and environmental disasters upend communal order, heritage is often seen as dispensable.
That’s the wrong approach. Heritage is not just a link to the past. It’s a catalyst that can uplift communities economically, culturally, and spiritually now and for generations to come. This is what we call the world “beyond monuments.”


WHAT WE BELIEVE:
>We believe in the power of Okunano Osagwede Osawuwa Clan
>We believe in human capital
>We believe in equality
>We believe women have equal rights to leadership roles in the development of the Okunano Clan
>We believe technology is a key to accelerating our reform and development agenda
>We believe laughter is good
>We believe work can be a place to make friends for life
>We believe business is good and can do well.
>We believe treating everyone with respect gains respect
>We believe mayhem is not only unhealthy but critical

WHAT WE WILL DO:
>We will build stronger communities
>We will create, curate and share knowledge and experiences
>We will listen, then we act
>We will revolutionize the communities and the clan
>We will ignite and accelerate developmental ideas
>We will convene and connect with every son and daughter of the Okunano clan
>We will put back into the community that we work with

HOW WE WILL WORK:
>We will strive for fairness
>We are failure tolerant
>We will take risks
>We will question authority
>We will use our balance sheet to create a social change in the clan
>We believe in a work environment that allows for an authentic life balance
>We will accept increments, but strive for revolution
>Ethics, inspiration and innovation are at our core
>We value our plane structure: we share the cleaning as well as the decision-making
>We celebrate success and learn from our mistakes
>We are dogmatic and passionate




OUR IDEAL ENVIRONMENT – THE RICH CULTURAL AND DYNAMIC CLAN:

“If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, then it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in the danger of being exterminated”
- Carter G. Woodson

Let's Remember Chiji Agbo Today!!!

Image
Ten years on and it looks as if it was just yesterday. The memories about him remain evergreen because he lives in the hearts that he touched. And they are many! Neither a star nor comet heralded his birth on March 19, 1942 but the then rusty Amechi, Awkunanaw community in today’s Enugu State had the presence of mind to recognize that a child who would later shine brighter than star had been born. And 10 years ago when he joined the saints, beyond Awkunanaw, the world was aware that that a star had dimed but not his name, not his good deeds while on earth. The death of Chief Chiji Agbo brings to an end, an elegant era. Born to the family of late Chief Nwankwo Agbo and Madam Comfort Agbo, Chiji, a seasoned industrialist died on July 17, 2005. A man with a good heart, Chiji would rather surrender his last kobo to the needy rather than see the them suffer. As a landlord, he was an unusual one to his tenants who he treated like his own biological children. Chiji would ...
