The Igbo language was reported by UNESCO in 2006 as one of the endangered indigenous languages ,however , they did not expect that our Igbo daughters are our future and with the introduction of Igbo cultural pageantry by Adandiigbo cultural pageant with emphasis on our languages , language preservation is a sure bet as it is once more fashionable to speak our language amongst our mothers of tomorrow .

In the last 15 years ,Igbo pageantry is now common in almost every Igbo community and a consciousness of language and morals is reintroduced keeping in mind those aspects of Igbo culture that are worthy to be carried on . The predictions UNESCO may be true for so many other indigenous languages but the Igbo nation has taken steps to extricate itself from self pity and taken proactive steps from becoming extinct ,keep a date with Adandiigbo pageant at All seasons hotel owerri IMO state on the 13th December 2019 by 5 pm and help Nigerians learn to keep our culture for our future generation .
