"The Golden Generation of
Igbere"

According to HRH Eze Rowland A. Ekeoma, the
Akpondi of Amakpo Igbere, “the Golden
Generation of Igbere is made up of an age,
majority of who could not go to school or
participate in the study of Western  Culture and
Education, but who in fact tried to educate the
children of our present generation.”

He continued, “We have seen members of the
Golden Generation at work: they started
town/clan meetings, built schools and colleges,
health centers, opened new roads, maintained
old ones; some were members of the church
Choir who got baptized and adopted English
names.

As traders and artisans they traveled to far away
places, made friends from countless culture and
tribes. Some were soldiers during the First and
Second World Wars. And when the wars were
over, they resumed their old trades, learnt pidgin
English. They took their immediate cultures
outside their native homesteads, raised their
children outside their immediate cultures. It was
to their credit that the old villages have turned (or
are turning) into modern townships and mini-
cities.

The Golden  Generation believed in one man –
the late Nnamdi Azikiwe. Those who disagree
with him were enemies of the people. They
joined in the struggle for Independence of
Nigeria from Colonial Rule. The Good Old Days
are going…. Or gone.”

Generation
