Igbo Diaspora Cultural Heritage Festival.

It was a proud day for Ndigbo in USA, my Motherland, a one small step but a giant leap for new efforts to keep our language and culture alive for posterity. Let it be known that we the inheritors of the great Igbo World Civilization will not seat around and allow our language to become extinct as predicted by UNESCO. We have therefore embarked on a noble journey, each year we have resolved to hold an Annual Igbo Diaspora Cultural Heritage Festival. Part of our goal is to find ways and means to keep our beloved Igbo language alive and to celebrate our great Igbo cultural heritage passed on to us by our great Igbo ancestors. This year in 2017 Igbos had the first Igbo Diaspora Cultural Heritage Festival and they are glad to report that it was highly a successful event. More than 600 estimated Igbos and their friends from around the world gathered at the Banquet Hall of the Best Western Hotel in Lanham Maryland 20t Dec 2017 for the single purpose of celebrating Igbo language and cultural Heritage. The attendees came from over 25 states in the USA, Nigeria, Igboland,
