Igbo Apprenticeship
I am more proud to be Igbo. My name, Uju Chukwuaku, is imposed upon me as it solely relates to my origins. As a nation, we are endowed with a multitude of long-standing traditions and practices, referred to as ōménala igbo*. These include practices in music, visual arts, apprenticeship, dress, cuisine, and language, to name a few.
Since they are what made us special without demeaning others, it’s hard to pick only one. After Igbo traditional marriage, though, one of the cultural legacies and customs of which I am most proud is Igbo apprenticeship.
To put it briefly,
Igbo Apprenticeship is a custom in which business or company owners take in younger or teenage boys from their close and extended family and train them as apprentices in the business, teaching them the fundamentals of the industry and how it operates while they learn, assist, and run errands both inside and outside the store. A little graduation celebration for the teenage boy who has grown into an adult and improved with knowledge of the business trade would be held once the training’s designated duration of five to seven years had passed. In addition, he would receive a lump sum payment for their services over time, which he would utilise to launch a company of which he would eventually become the owner and retain. Individual success has sprung from this, Because of their success on an individual basis, the Igbo people are now the most prosperous nation in Nigeria. Igbo Apprenticeship has also shown to be the world’s largest platform for business incubators.
