Good evening noble guests, it is an honour to be here. I have travelled long and far to ensure that Igbo people are spoken for. I have been an ambassador for the Igbo people in the United Kingdom for the past decade. Since starting my journey, I have accumulated and understood your people's opinions on colonisation, and today I hope to spread my people's word. Through the course of colonisation, as we have begun to intertwine ourselves, we settle that the British and the Commonwealth have the same interests at heart.
We believe in unity, while we correspondingly preach acceptance. Therefore we must learn to understand foreign lands and situations to overcome them without having to change them. You came to my country, and you provided us with affluence and British civilisation. The unity that we have built proves to us that such diversities are key. Nations that are poles apart can still unite as one strong power, and gain prosperity from both ends.
The Igbo are a spiritual culture, in which spiritual factors are what drive their decisions. They believe in a supreme force, a God called the Chukwu. This god is someone the Igbo people worship, and honour as this higher energy is believed to have created all, and with praising such a God, comes the support in settling relationships within the communities od the world. And so from here, I ask, why do people seek to change what is different? The Nigerians believe in governance that maintains collectivism. Where we make decisions together to ensure that everyone is satisfied. Which differs from Britains individualistic form of governance, but once again, such variety is key. We must learn to work together in harmony.
Colonisation has benefited thousands of people, where different countries begin to help each other develop into greater things. Unfortunately, such great things have been done at the cost of the lives of many. We must ensure that there are no men left behind to fulfil the responsibilities the British Empire has. We must stray away from becoming what is known to the colonised areas as the "wicked men", rather becoming a source of victory and affluence to these countries. Ensuring that we have both our interests at heart. Learning to deal with each country specifically to their necessities, for example in Nigeria due to the various amounts of cultures, one must learn to deal with them accordingly. This is all to be done with the vital ideology that we believe in unity, while we correspondingly preach acceptance and thus variety is key!
Thank you, I hope you all have a good evening
