One million #Igbo people fled northern #Nigeria in 1966, and up to 30,000 were murdered in #pogroms, so the southeast rebelled and sought independence as the Republic of #Biafra. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1970, an almost three-year-long #NigerianCivilWar ended in Biafran surrender.

Igbo Wikimedians User Group (IWUG) 與 Women Association For Technology And Innovation (WAFTAI) 聯合主辦 2025 #喀麥隆 與 #奈及利亞 Wikidata Days 活動，這是非洲首次舉辦的跨國 Wikidata 主題盛會，活動吸引了 84 位註冊參與者，其中超過 40 人出席開幕，展現了區域社群的積極投入。
活動的核心在於推動非洲語言的翻譯以及文化內容的建置，強化非洲在全球結構化知識平台上的代表性。除了技術培訓與工作坊，與會者也分享了如何透過 Wikidata 改善資料覆蓋率，並建立跨社群合作模式。這場活動不僅是一次知識交流，更是非洲 Wikidata 社群邁向國際舞台的重要起點，未來預計擴展至更多國家與社群，持續推動非洲知識的數位化與全球能見度。
The #NigerianCivilWar/#BiafraWar was fought from 1967-1970. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1969, Nigerian troops captured #Umuahia, capital of #RepublicOfBiafra. Since the war's end, #Igbo nationalism has only grown, but as #Biafra holds most of #Nigeria's oil, independence is unlikely.
奈及利亞的伊博維基媒體用戶組 (Igbo Wikimedians User Group)舉辦了 Wikidata 13 週年慶祝活動，參與者透過工作坊學習如何運用 Wikidata 工具，將 #伊博語 (Ásụ̀sụ́ Ìgbò,ibo)的詞彙、地名與人物資料帶到全球知識庫之中。

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1949 saw the #IvaValleyMassacre in #Enugu (#Enụgwụ), #Nigeria. #Igbo miners were performing a slow-down, as #union #striking was illegal, and when some started dancing, British colonial #cops opened fire. The #EnuguCollieryMassacre killed 22, wounded 51.

No, UNESCO didn’t claim that the #Igbo language would be extinct by 2025. The language definitely has more than just about six months to be spoken.
https://learnigbo-byconversation.com/unesco-igbo-language-extinction-2025/
Also, the very active Igbo Wikimedians User Group that among other things worked on Igbo lexicographical data for #Wikidata would probably say “Hold my pepper soup!” before a language of roughly 20 million speakers would go extinct.
用 Wikidata 紀錄人口普查資訊：奈及利亞社群的貢獻經驗
伊博維基媒體用戶組進行了奈及利亞人口資料的編輯，將 1991 年與 2006 年的人口普查資訊收錄進 Wikidata 中，並進行比較跟分析。
在 Wikidata 中可以透過屬性人口(P1082)、男性人口(P1540)以及女性人口(P1539)，三個屬性作人口資料的紀錄。透過 Wikidata 機讀資料的特性，能夠將人口資料轉化為更容易分析與研究的資料。
在臺灣社群參與者也時常更新各行政區的人口普查資料，也歡迎各資料愛好社群夥伴一起來協助更新與維護。

#SouthAfrica my dear brother, #Igbo runs through my vains, but i am broken from my tongue and yours.
it is with a hanging of my head in shame i deliver this message to you, but nwala, it must be done.
Remember your lip service that moved no feet toward #Gaza to feed them 4real?
....did you not beg for more than actions in court when you were suffering the same, by the same hands you now eat from?
Stop Talking. Feed Gaza.
...or live your history instead of reading it.
Happy Eke Day!
Eke is the first market day of the traditional four-day Igbo week. These days are based on the four primordial forces “in that order of seniority”—Eke (fire), Orie (water), Afo (earth), Nkwo (air).
“In Igbo, as in English, the days of the week are named after gods.” (Jeffreys, M. D. W. (1935, July). Africa: Journal of the International African Institute, Vol. 8, No. 3: pp. 346-354.)
