The First Step: Unity is Dignity (Day 5)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Ka anyị bido." Let us begin. In the Igbo world, the most significant things are never started alone.
In this final episode of Foundation Week: The Emergence, Yvonne Mbanefo completes the preparation of the soil. We move from being observers to active participants in a cultural revolution. Drawing on the profound wisdom of John S. Mbiti and J.O.J. Nwachukwu-Agbada, we explore why your fluency is tied to the community around you.
- The Power of "We": Why the Igbo language refuses to let you start alone.
- The Legend of the Crowd: Unpacking the proverb Gidi gidi bụ ugwu eze.
- Scholar’s Spark: John S. Mbiti on African communal personhood—"I am because we are".
- The 3 guiding Igbo Sentences: Practice the three sentences for the journey:
Ka anyị bido - Let's Start
Jisie ike - Keep going / Well done / Be strong
Gidi gidi bụ ugwu eze - Unity is the dignity of a King
