Okunano Voices (Culture Documentaries)

OKUNANO VOICES EDUCATION FUND (in Prospect) I want to specially invite you to join us on this journey. Fifty years from now posterity would judge us all as great visionaries; we would have come a long way. Even though some of us may be no more but we would have successfully planted great deeds and values in the hearts of many and also in the sands of time. Today would become the past when tomorrow comes and we would have moved Okunano Osagwede from balkanized communities to a unified clan with clarity of purpose and a common vision. Let’s come to terms with the present predicament and challenges of Okunano clan. We must accept that there is a lot of work to be done and that our successive generation will be facing a greater task if we do nothing today. We have no unified front or platform to press home our challenges or channel our efforts as it were today hence this clarion call. Many of our sons and daughters are unable to go to school, several of them are currently goi...

Our forbearers used the open air and bush attack system of defecation. Hence it was normal to see adults and children defecating publicly in those days.  We witnessed or better still experienced the art of 'éyi-shi' na ókpé-édé or okpéshi while growing up. Some of us got up to mischief at times defecating or shitting at the wrong places. ,Nowadays urbanization has enveloped us, crowding our homelands with tenants and strangers. The government presence is been installed all round our communities.  Do we continue to creatively decorate our homelands with shit on the pretext that shit forms the best manure for our farms products?  You may want to agree with me that we have not progressed very much in comparison to our forbearers here. In the 21st century our people can still be seen openly defecating at close range. No toilets? There's been arguments for and against the subject offline but we think it is rather important here that you folks partake in the discussions. What i...
