14yr Old Wizkid Wins First Igbo Spelling Bee Competition In Anambra

 

PM Chinedu Aniagboso and Oluebeube Ogbonna

 

Miss Oluebeube Ogbonna, a 14 years old student of Divine Rays British School Obosi, Idemili North of Anambra on Sunday emerged winner of the first Igbo Spelling Bee competition.

 

Ogbonna came tops in the competition in which 356 public and private secondary school students in Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha educational zones participated.

 

The event was organised by City Speller Bee in collaboration with Onitsha Business School.

 

In the final round of 16 schools held in Onitsha, Ogbonna beat Oruche Chukwuma of St Paul’s Seminary Ukpor and Okeke Godswill and Divine Rays British School Obosi to second and third places respectively.

 

That the winners went home with N300,000, N100,000 and N50,000 respectively for their efforts.

 

They were tested on knowledge in spelling, Igbo syllabication and punctuation.

 

Mrs Ogochukwu Ifeka, Professor of Igbo Literature at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam said the competition had confirmed that efforts to revive Igbo language was yielding fruits.

 

Ifeka commended the students’ proficiency in the knowledge of Igbo Language and also their schools for taking teaching of the language seriously.

 

She said the competition would elicit positive interest in native among youths and also encourage them to take up careers in it.

 

The university Don urged parents to interact with their children in native languages as it was not the duty of formal school teachers to teach them.

 

Ifeka said schools and offices should implement the policy of government that Igbo Language and attire should be spoken and worn on Wednesdays as a way of helping the young ones grasp the language.

 

Prof. Ifeka and Winner

 

“I must say I am impressed with the performance of these students, while I was marking their scripts, I had Internal joy that they could do so well.

 

“I want to thank the organisers of Igbo Spelling Bee Competition for reawakening the consciousness, the good thing is that, the fear that Igbo Language is going into extinction is no more there.

 

“It is the duty of parents to teach their children their native languages, that is why it is called ‘mother tongue’, they should communicate with them in their own languages, it also goes with strong understanding of their culture,” she said.

 

Also speaking, Mr Chinedu Aniagboso, Project Manager of the competition said it was the first indigenous language spelling bee in Nigeria and was aimed at making it attractive to the youth.

 

Aniagboso commended schools for keying into the project while assuring that it would be a yearly competition.

 

“You can see how excited these students are competing in their own language, they not only understand English, they are also proficient in Igbo.

 

“We are hoping to make this a yearly event, so we call on the Anambra government, firms and individuals to come and partner us, so that the awareness and reward can get better in subsequent editions,” he said.
