Reconnecting Heritage: The Itsekiri Nation Homecoming Initiative – Bridging the Past and Present
The Itsekiri people have a rich history marked by resilience, cultural significance, and a deep connection to their ancestral lands. However, many Itsekiris have had limited interaction with their homeland, despite remaining passionate about their heritage and culture. The Itsekiri Nation–The Home Coming initiative seeks to bridge this gap by providing a platform for Itsekiris to reconnect with their roots, experience the customs, and learn about the heritage of the Warri.
Our Target Audience
The initiative calls upon professional Itsekiris worldwide – from doctors to artists, engineers to educators, and business leaders to technologists – to join hands and contribute to the future of the Warri Kingdom.
