The formation of Ikale World Congress (popularly known as IWC) is not borne out of share separatism idea, or to fight over who leads Ikale (although leadership has been the bane of our development), it is formed to show that with concerted efforts and appropriate service oriented ideas and programs, we can start showing others that maintaining the status quo can be retrogressive. It should be our abiding and guiding faith to transform Ikale to an enviable group that makes things happen in all fields of life.
One thing that should be known is that IWC has come to stay-how/why:
- It has been registered in the US as not for profit organization
- Efforts are being made to register affiliates in and around the world especially Nigeria and Europe.
- This grassroots effort for the development of Ikale will be serviced by credible people who are willing to give their very best to Ikale.
- IWC is NOT AFFLIATED WITH/TO ANY POLITICAL PARTY
For now we should be:
- free to discuss within our fold
- raise our (IWC) awareness by inviting other Ikales to join in our discussions (please let us be civil and positive in our discussions)
- Get ready to launch this project at HOME by next year in a big way
- We are in the meantime fine tuning our website (www.ikale.net) to make it more functional and interactive. We will in no distant future formalize our membership by filling our membership form.
Nothing comes easy; being a young organization we should expect some hick-ups, if we are building an enduring structure for our dear Ikale, we should be able to endure these initial hick-ups, focus on the ultimate goal- “transforming Ikale to an enviable group that makes things happens in all fields of life.”
Make no mistake about it; the task ahead is going to be difficult. We are aware of comments that may diminish our enthusiasm about this projects- “It is not worth it” “It cannot work,” “they will fight,” “one section will marginalize the other”, “they will mismanage the group,” e.t.c.
We have no way of denying the above if we maintain the status quo. But do not forget that WE need to learn to do things differently; we need to place service above our personal agenda, and above all this group is supposed to be homogenous in at least one thought -“transforming Ikale to an enviable group that makes things happen in all fields of life.” We are poised not to repeat the mistakes of the past, IKALE nay IWC WILL BE PLACED ABOVE INDIVIDUAL TOWNS.
Let us go Ikale, we are blessed, we are capable and together we CAN transform Ikale to an enviable group that will things happens in all fields of life.
