Christmas Message to Igbo Studies Association

Christmas Eve Message to ISA, December 24, 2017

Dear ISA Members,

You certainly have heard me say again and again what a great honor and privilege it is for me to lead our great association, the Igbo Studies Association of America. At a time like this, it is exhilarating for me to give this 2017 Christmas message to you.

Christmastide recalls the fundamental message that Christ died for us, hence our human interconnections no matter our location on the globe, the dignity of human life, the need for human love, and the hope that a Supreme Being much greater than us can always take over when we are no longer able to continue on the road of life alone.
