The Meat We Share In Our Umunna Meeting Does Not Respect Professor or Big Man, See Who It Respects!

Igbos have a system where everybody is not only carried along, but held accountable, the Family system is the most dominant system in Igbo land.

In the Family System, Umunna is a Larger Family system, after the immediate and extended family system; we get the Umunna Family system.

A Facebook user who goes by Urchman Nwaikuku Urch have some opinions about Umuna Family system which he shared on his Facebook page. In the post he highlighted the rules that go with meat sharing among the Umunna and the significance, while also regretting that the values have been eroded.

“You are in the city, claiming big boy, but you have never attended meeting Umunna. The day you will go there and dare take meat before your senior, you will know that your village people have power.

This meat does not respect big man, it does not know professor, it does not respect the title, and the only language it understands is AGE. Even if you are the richest man in the world, you must wait for your age mates. Chai! Ndi Umunna di very powerful.

Everybody stands according to your age. If you make a mistake and dive meat before your senior (even if he is your senior with just one minute), you will dance to the tune of Umunna.

That is where we are taught humility and to respect our elders. Today, everybody runs away from the village meeting so that they will not kill you, and that is how respect for elders is gradually fizzling out.
