The creation of this medium is in response to calls by Ndi Igbo from all walks of life for the establishment of a unique forum that would provide a channel where they can access invaluable information and get the opportunity to make necessary contributions towards the well being of Nigeria and Ndi Igbo in particular.<\/p>\n

After reading my article, “Civil War, Time for Igbo Public Inquiry,” that appeared first in the Daily Sun<\/em> newspaper of September 9, 2009. The article which generated\u00a0 interests saw a lot of Ndi Igbo calling for a medium with an appetite for Igbo affairs. Well, I have obliged them and the result is what can be seen, once you log into www.igbozuru.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Consequently, \u00a0\u00a0this forum is conceptualized mainly, as an interactive platform that\u00a0 dwells on Igbo affairs and to a lesser extent, other issues. Most importantly, the forum is going to run as an intellectual market place for discernible people to interact, generate ideas and products, that are expected to further lift humanity.<\/p>\n

For this reason, this online forum, features four exclusive mediums that celebrate Igbo interests, namely: Igbo Market Days,<\/strong> About Ndi Igbo,<\/strong>\u00a0Igbo Forum and As\u1ee5s\u1ee5 Igbo\/Ihe Oyiyi.<\/strong> Other mediums in this forum highlight other news contents that are of general interest. In all, Igbozuruoke Forum has at least six mediums through which it reaches out to the audience.\u00a0 So, whatever your beat is, the forum has the reach and attributes to appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Most important, Igbozuruoke Forum, is established to be a facilitating\u00a0 platform on which selected arbitrators in Igbo customs, culture and traditions known as the CUSTODIANS, would function. These pundits who represent all segments of Igbo sub-cultural entities have been constituted to provide and promote accurate concepts and versions of Igbo rules, ethics and ethos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below are the mediums of this forum and their accompanying illustrations:<\/p>\n

Today’s Igbo Market Days<\/strong>: As the most unique of this forum, this medium shows daily Igbo market days that can be scrolled forward or backward to review a market day against any date in the future or in the past.\u00a0 At the sidebar, this platform provides an interesting channel for the public, especially, Ndi Igbo, to know Igbo market days as they evolve. It is particularly important to note that, not only are Igbo market days indicated against the Gregorian calendar (the Western calendar we use), this platform further indicates the type of market days. In some parts of Igbo land, the market days are divided into big and \u00a0small Igbo market days.\u00a0 In some places, certain (prominent) events can only take place on a particular big or small market days for it to be authentic and acceptable.\u00a0 In Ngor-Okpala, LGA of Imo State, for example, the final burial rites of a prominent traditionalist can only take place on Igbo big market days like Orie-Ukwu, Eke Ukwu, Nkw\u1ecd Ukwu, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n
