JOY AS KWADO-ANYI FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES SECOND EDITION OF IGBO LANGUAGE DEBATE & QUIZ COMPETITION FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN EZINIHITTE (₦500,000 CASH PRIZES TO BE WON)
05/10/2025
The *Kwado-Anyi Foundation* has officially announced the *second edition of its highly celebrated Igbo Language Debate and Quiz Competition* for secondary schools in Ezinihitte Mbaise, Imo State—bringing renewed excitement to students, teachers, and the community at large.
This initiative, which began last year, has already proven to be a beacon of cultural revival. Recall that in the maiden edition, *Eziudo Girls Secondary School* proudly lifted the trophy, etching their name in history as the first champions of this unique contest. At that time, the Foundation’s CEO, Hon. *Bekee Emmanuel* (Kwado-Anyi), pledged to make the competition an annual event—and today, that promise is being kept.
Speaking through his media team during a phone conversation, *Hon. Bekee Emmanuel* reiterated that the competition was born out of a passion to preserve and promote the Igbo language, which faces threats of decline due to the dominance of English.
It is disheartening to see our mother tongue losing its pride of place in daily usage. In our little way, we have decided to restore attention to our language through this competition. One of the most unique features of this initiative is that every word spoken—whether questions, answers, or interactions—is entirely in Igbo,” he said.
This year’s edition promises to be even more colorful and impactful. According to the Foundation, the competition has been given a significant boost in terms of cash rewards (₦500,000), additional gifts, and improved organization. The grand finale will be graced by notable personalities including traditional rulers (Ndi Eze), captains of industry, religious leaders, and political figures, making it a truly prestigious occasion.
The Kwado-Anyi Foundation has assured all participating schools of a transparent, free, and fair contest, ensuring that every student competes on equal ground.
📌 Participation forms are available at:
✓ Mary Summer Juniorate, Okpofe
✓ Amazon Schools, Old St. Leo Secondary School, Ezegbogu
