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.

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.)
IGBO PROVERB
Onye kwe, chi ya ekwe:
Whatever one agrees to, their chi will move in accordance with it.

Expediency Of Uprooting Seed Of #Igbo Must Go, And Sowing Seeds Of Harmony And Progress https://www.modernghana.com/news/1332110/expediency-of-uprooting-seed-of-igbo-must-go.html
The English and the African-English mix beautifully, as do the Igbo beliefs and Nigerian life, the themes of loss, love, fate, hope, and sacrifice are universal, but still, the characters and story did not fully capture my imagination.

Il foulard della buonanotte
Sebbene la storia non mi abbia fatto dire "wow", si tratta di un libro degno di nota per:
- l'utilizzo di un nome tradizionale della lingua #Igbo, Chino
- la tematica della cura dei capelli afro e le illustrazioni che ritraggono Chino con capigliature molto diverse tra loro
- la raffigurazione di persone con diverse tonalità di pelle nera
- la non definizione del luogo (è Lagos o Baltimora?)

It would seem that the #Igbo god of economic exchange is the Christian #Satan.

Said to be one of the oldest photographs taken in Barbados of a Bajan, this image captures Nancy Daniels. The picture is believed to have been taken in the 1850s, either at a studio in Bridgetown by the photographer Campion or at the house where she worked as a domestic servant.
Nancy was born either in 1751 or 1755 in West Africa, believed to be modern day Nigeria as it was thought she was of Igbo ethnicity. Her real name is unknown and it is believed she came to Barbados in her teens or as a young woman. Even though Nancy would have grown up in West Africa, survived the Middle Passage and being sold into slavery, the devastating Bridgetown Fire of 1766, the destructive hurricane of 1780, the Bussa revolt of 1816 as well as Emancipation and Apprenticeship, little is known of her life.
She is known to have lived in Bridgetown at Synagogue Lane and worked for the Daniels family as a domestic servant, for whom she worked for many years, first as an enslaved women and later as a domestic servant after Emancipation. At her death her age is officially recorded as 116 years, dying and buried on September 24th, 1871, but oral sources from the family put her age at 120 years old. She is one of the oldest people to have lived in Barbados, achieving super centenarian status.

I spent a delightful afternoon at Borden Park, attending Edmonton’s second annual Iri Ji or New Yam Festival, a traditional harvest celebration of Nigeria’s Igbo community. How lucky we are to live in this beautiful place, where we get to share in all the rich cultures that make of up the tapestry of our city. #Edmonton #yeg #IriJi #Igbo #Nigeria #BordenPark
