Usem Akwa Ibom made debut last year, and must have been
seen by many as just a thing of fun where people take to social networking
sites to test their knowledge of their language. But far from that, this is an
online campaign that creates awareness about different ethnic dialects that
exist in Akwa Ibom State, and encourages the use of the languages, especially
on Sunday 23rd September.
This year, the organizers of USAKIPRO are at it again. As Akwa
Ibom State will celebrate her 25th year of existence, Akwaibomites at home
and in the Diaspora will mark this day in grand style as usual, every 2go,
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, SMS, Email or Comments we make will be in Akwa Ibom
language to commemorate this day.
Aniekan
Ekah, the progenitor of USAKIPRO says, 'If you are Ibibio, wed k’usem Ibibio;
Annang? Wed k’usem Annang; Eket? Sem k’ikwo Ekid? Oro? Suguku nsinge Oro!'
The Objective of USEM AKWA IBOM PROJECT is to celebrate Akwa Ibom's 25th
anniversary in a unique way, create awareness about the different ethnic
accents that exist in Akwa Ibom State and also to encourage the use of dialect
amongst our youths and indigenes in diaspora.
Moreso, to show how young people are utilizing the power of social networking
platforms, like Facebook, to inspire positive change in our communities thus
fostering peaceful co-existence, unity and love among our people.
