obinwanne community
London
Association of Igbo community in Nantes aka Obinwanne, is an association of
Ndigbo living in the western part of France in a region called Pays de la Loire.
It was formed in 2011 and elected its first executives the same year. The
association was formed to with the hope and aim of bringing all Ndigbo living in
Pays de la Loire together, to see how we can continue to uphold the communal
lifestyle that Ndigbo are noted for. This we do by coming together to share our
talents, ideas and no matter how limited our resources maybe, if put together it
can greatly help us to archive our individual and collective dreams, also to see
that all nwa afo Igbo living here is up and doing, known to one another to keep
promoting the spirit of Obinwanne that we are noted for. This association is not
just on its own as we are also in contact/linked with other Igbo communities in
France, Europe, America and the world at large. We are also involved in some
charity works back home to see that our people are not left out in enjoying the
good amenities that life has to give. At present the association is evolving
towards a bigger developmental level. It has opened its door to all UmuIgbo to
join them to see that Ndigbo has a voice anywhere they are and also also to see
that ur language is not deleted from the list of languages still being spoken in
the world today.
