“As long as my Ikenga is active, I can wrestle in the land of the spirits” – Igbo proverb.
In precolonial Nigeria, the Igbo administrative unit was some sort of a quasi-democratic republican system of government. It was a system deeply rooted in the people and guaranteed equality among its citizens, as opposed to a feudal system where a king lorded over his subjects in an empire.
A new online newspaper, Ikengaonline, will debut on Thursday, March 31, 2022. Ikengaonline is the media arm of the African Center for Transparency (ACT), an organization dedicated to the promotion of accountability and good governance, reports ITREALMS.
A press statement available to ITREALMS and endorsed by the duo of Dr. Osmund Agbo and Dr. Chido Onumah, on behalf of the management, underscored the fact Ikengaonline will focus on the five southeastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.
