As we joyfully step into the ember months, the Igbo People in Diaspora (IPID) extend warm greetings and best wishes to Ndi Igbo and indeed all Nigerians. This season, often associated with festivities, reflection and preparation for the year’s end, presents another opportunity for us all to embrace caution, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and strengthen our resolve to live responsibly.
At IPID, we believe the ember months should not only be a time for merriment but also a season of renewed focus on self-development and purposeful living. As individuals, families, and communities, this is the time to set higher goals for ourselves, cultivate discipline, and engage in actions that will not only better our lives but also contribute meaningfully to the progress of our nation.
Over the years, IPID has remained consistent in driving positive change, both at home and abroad. Through various initiatives, we have provided platforms for mentorship, training and empowerment, equipping young men and women with the skills and opportunities to become agents of transformation in their communities. Our impact can be felt in diverse areas, from capacity building workshops, summits to vocational training and entrepreneurship support.
In addition, IPID has actively championed values of responsibility, hard work and innovation among the youth. We understand that when young people are properly guided and supported, they become not only self-reliant but also strong pillars in nation-building. Our numerous empowerment schemes have continued to bear fruit, with many beneficiaries now excelling in business, education, and leadership.
As we enter these final months of the year, let us all remember the importance of safe living, careful planning, and respect for one another. The ember months, though festive, often come with avoidable risks and we encourage everyone to stay vigilant, maintain healthy habits, and prioritize peace and unity in their communities. Together, we can ensure that this period remains one of joy, safety and meaningful achievement.
The Igbo People in Diaspora reiterate our unwavering commitment to supporting our people, building stronger bridges of development and contributing our quota to the growth of our nation.
As we celebrate the ember months, may this season inspire us to be more responsible citizens, to uplift one another and to work tirelessly for the greatness of Nigeria.
