Anambra Monarch Urges Nigerians to Remain Hopeful Amid Economic Hardship
The Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Nnaemeka Achebe, has called upon Nigerians to maintain hope and resilience in the face of the prevailing economic challenges in the country.
This message was conveyed in a statement issued by Chief Okechukwu Areh, the Chairman of the Ofala Steering Committee, ahead of the 2024 Ofala Festival, which is set to take place on October 18 and 19, 2024.
Entitled “Courage, Perseverance, and Self-Reliance” (Onye kwe, Chi’e ekwe), the theme for this year’s festival resonates deeply with the collective determination of the Nigerian people to rise above adversity.
The statement reads in part: “This theme reflects the monarch’s message of hope and resilience amidst the current hardships in our nation. As we navigate the challenges of our time, we draw inspiration from our rich cultural heritage and the timeless values upheld by our ancestors.”
