Reawakening, captivating and amazingly inspiring, may be, are the suitable adjectives to qualify the emergence, growing interest, influence and constantly increasing visibility and acceptance by the public of the now trending activities that the Ngas Nation of Plateau state, North Central Nigeria initiated at the Monument of Traditional Nigerian Architecture (MOTNA), located at Jos premises of the National Museum. The intensified activities by the Gamai Nation and plans by the other nations to come on stream, speaks volume of the Ngas initiative. Important to emphasise is the interest, commitment and hunger shown by the younger generation to flow with the now trending activities at the Ngas and Gamai villages at the MOTNA.
Continuing from a previous publication, where the focus of discussion was the new trend of activities at the Monument of Traditional Nigerian Architecture (MOTNA), located inside the premises of National Museum Jos, this piece is compiled to strengthen the discourse.

Consider the combined efforts that produced a total new package for the St Luke’s Cathedral Anglican Private School Cultural day a pacesetting outing in Plateau state and Nigeria generally and the people that witnessed the event will argue that you are still unable to qualify the event adequately.

Recently the Plateau State Government under the leadership of Barr Caleb Mutfwang, the Governor unveiled what most development practitioners, economic analysts and public commentators in the state consider a socio-economic transformation agenda.
The surprise expressed by many people with regard to Scoreline’s declaration of July 12th annually as a “Dark Day” is a clear indication that the idea is novel, therefore requires constant orientation, sensitization and awareness creation, and as a matter of fact, time for most members of the Nigerian public to understand that efforts such as this is paramount to the realization, collectively, of the Nigerian dream. Committed efforts by the private and public sectors working both independently and collectively at engaging, interacting and contributing consistently and significantly to the growth and sustainable development of the country are required on a continuous basis.

Marriage is an important socio-cultural institution recognized, accepted and respected by every responsible mature citizen in the society. It is the root and center for family formation. The union has a legal backing for purposes of procreation and companionship in order to live peacefully among themselves and the society. The universality in it is that every responsible and mature adult honours it and strife for it. Aside from man’s recognition towards marriage, God honours marriage very much for it is His institution for procreation/companionship, continuity/consistency for the existence of man and earth alike.

As Enechukwu 2016 postulated, “they stretch across River Niger from the west of Agbor to Cross River moving north of Nsukka high lands, to some parts of the Atlantic coast. Igbos inhabit mainly in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu States of Nigeria. Large numbers of them are found in Delta, Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom States.
