The main Igbo
strategic goal currently is freedom from the Nigerian occupation. This freedom
will be achieved soon. If this were not the overriding consideration for the
Igbo, especially in the wake of the news of the Nigerian senate’s
“legalisation” of “marriage” to a child, we mustn’t ever forget that in any
political association particularly that has a multinational/multicultural/multiracial character, each and
every constituent public brings to this shared space those core precepts that have defined their history and culture and broadly map out their life’s quest.
It is overwhelmingly fascinating how much for the Igbo, nwa, the child, the child’s well-being, is embedded in every facet, every strand of these core precepts as evidenced in the root of the following names, mostly family-names, each of which is indeed the subject of theses on life, living and choices: Nwaoyiri, Nwabuisi … Nwabundu … Nwabuchi … Nwabuikwu … Nwakaku … Nwabuaku … Nwajiaku ... Nwabuike … Nwakamma … Nwabuzo … Nwaka … Nwaedozie … Nwanne … Nwanneka … Nwabueze … Nwakaeze … Nwabudike … Nwangwu ... Nwachieze ... Nwakaego …Nwabuego ... Nwadiba ... Nwadike … Nwabuife … Nwanna … Nwachi … Nwanka … Nwadiuto … Nwauwa … Nwadi … Nwankwo … Nwajulu ... Nwabuuwa … Nwaobodo ... Nwando … Nwandu ... Nwagazie … Nwachukwu … Nwakaeme … Nwadimkpa ...

The child is therefore so central to the Igbo worldview that the Igbo couldn’t coexist with any agency that threatens the child or their well-being.
