Today, the international community marks the 2017 World Humanitarian Day. Credit:ajala.ng This is a day set aside by the United Nations to reflect on our commitments toward helping others especially those whose vulnerability and helplessness call out for support and encouragement. World's Humanitarian Day is all about moving out of ourselves and meeting the needs of the next person, that person who is in genuine need.

There's a particular attachment for which a community, a society is known, that with which they are distinguished and for which they could be easily identified with. This is the people's way of life, it's their tradition and hence their culture! For some people, their culture had formed a better part of their lives through the process of committed deep instilling that has built in them a conviction as to believe and as well transmit along their respective genealogy of how such is an integral part of their lives and for which they should hold dear. The huge respect accorded some cultures as  significant elements of heritage has made them proud possession assiduously passed from one generation unto the next, strictly retaining their tastes along the ages, inspite of the dynamism and susceptibility of culture to time. This is quite said of the Iwa-akwa (cloth-wearing) celebration, an important cultural identity of some communities in Igboland, Southeast Nigeria, undertaken lar...
