She also encouraged Nigerians to wear clothes made from Akwete fabric to support local traditions. At the event, the weavers gave her the traditional title of “Ugo Nwanyi” of Abia State in appreciation of her support.
The donation aims to strengthen the industry, create opportunities for the women, and help preserve this important cultural craft.
Akwete weaving is a well-known handwoven fabric from the area. Women in the community have passed this skill from one generation to the next for many years. The First Lady praised the women for their hard work and dedication in keeping this part of Igbo culture alive
Ok.
ReplyDeleteAkwete cloth is very beautiful and durable.
ReplyDeleteThank you First lady for your support.
Let me go and ask Davido on Instagram to come and sponsor my Akwete training ๐๐ฝ♀️๐๐ฝ♀️๐๐ฝ♀️๐๐ฝ♀️
ReplyDeleteDonated? I just hope the money actually gets to them in the end, and it’s not just for clout or political antics.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, why is it only when election season is around the corner that we start seeing gestures like this?

Hasn't she be going around and donating to school around Nigeria and others. She was abused by nursing students or you suddenly have selective amnesia? Don't start this election card
DeleteIf Peter Obi donates his usual N5million naira TeeJay and obidients will praise him to high heavens without asking any question or reading meanings to it, but when others do their own you suddenly become circumspect asking foolish questions.
DeleteWhen they kidnapped those Orire school kids, obidients did not ask questions but immediately started criticising the government and even staged protests; but when God shamed them and the kids were released, they immediately now realized that it was staged.
Funny set of people
Anon 11:35,
DeleteThe difference is that H.E. Peter Obi has been a giver long before he was in power. So any gift he gives today won’t have a political undertone to it.
He has donated millions to missionaries and to the education sector. Which of your politicians comes close to him in capacity, integrity, and humanitarianism?
Let’s start from there.
Mention just one name and I’ll take you seriously and engage you further.
