UNITED IGBO ELDERS’ COUNCIL WORLDWIDE
(Uplifting And Inspiring the Stakeholders for Think-tank…)
Philosophy, Vision and Mission.
The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC) Worldwide, an Offshoot of ALAIGBO ACHIEVERS LEGACY as an independent, non-partisan and non-sectarian sociocultural and civil society umbrella of Igbo elders located anywhere in the world but headquartered in Igboland, with a well-articulated philosophy, vision, mission and corresponding mandates, some elements of which have found expression in the UNIEC Constitution:
I.PHILOSOPHY
The UNIEC is guided by humanism, defined by one of our members as “a philosophy extolling the good of man as the purpose of all action, and an active concern for his welfare as the central object of policy., an ideology or outlook, encouraging the best in the evolution of society and the treatment of man, and in the exploitation or use of his natural environment.” This constitutes the basic philosophy guiding the UNIEC on all issues, including those related to the Igbo and other Nigerians.
The Vision and Mission, already embodied in the Constitution, are summarized as follows:
II.VISION:
To lawfully promote Igbo and other like-minded interests in Igboland, Nigeria and worldwide.
III.MISSION:
To continually conscientize and mobilize the Igbo and other like-minded peoples towards the attainment of the Vision at all times. Within the Mission are a number of short- and long-term objectives, conceived as ad hoc and permanent Mandates that are of supreme importance to the UNIEC.
Such Mandates include:
1.Unity of the Igbo nation and peoples at home and abroad, including the hundreds of millions related to the Igbo in any way, or with Igbo blood or DNA within Africa, in the Americas, Europe, and throughout the world.
2.Security of Igboland, peoples and property, in accordance with the laws of the land.
3.Igbo cultural renaissance worldwide, and strengthening of Igbo identity, pride and commonality, in mutually beneficial liaison with domestic and external institutions.
4.To restore and modernize the positive elements of Igbo literary culture like the Nsibiri writing; Igbo iron and metallurgical achievements, survivals of which exist around Abiriba, Afikpo, Agbor, Igbo-Ukwu, Lejja, Obrikom, etc; and Igbo traditional medical science, sports, music and dance, etc.
5.To restore Igbo self-empowered industrialization thwarted in early 20th century, and re-create and sustain a safe and positive modern business environment for renewed Igbo post-traditional industrialization, in accord with global best practice standards.
6.Conscientization of Igbo youths, women, and the socioeconomic, physical and other challenged, on the general challenges of the future and means of overcoming them.
7.To act as a final alternative peaceful dispute resolution mechanism for Igbo individuals or groups that seek such impartial traditional mediations.
8.To encourage all Igbo at home and abroad to abide by the law in places of their domicile, so as to be qualified for assistance by the UNIEC in proven cases of breach of their rights.
9.To promote a humane and just socioeconomic, educational and cultural welfare society reflecting Igbo traditional egalitarian values.
10.To act in other lawful ways in promotion of Igbo legitimate interests, whenever, wherever, in a lawful and constitutional manner.
IV.UNIEC CONSTITITION
The constitution is the fundamental guide to all activities of the UNIEC, and every prospective member is entitled to a copy on purchasing the Application forMembership.
Every Igbo adult is invited to join this independent movement and child of necessity for expanding the Igbo potential, strengthening the Igbo identity and general renaissance in all realms of human endeavour. It is an idea whose time has come, and the Igbo can wait no longer!
