Introduction Every great movement starts with a bold vision. For IFETACSIOS, that vision is what we call “The Big Dream.” We are working tirelessly toward a monumental day in Enugu State—a day that will be written into the history books as the moment the Igbo people stood in unison to formally and traditionally abolish the Osu, Ohu, Ume, and Diala caste systems.
Why Okpara Square? Okpara Square in Enugu holds significant cultural and historical weight. It is a place of gathering, a symbol of unity, and the perfect stage for a collective declaration of freedom. Our Big Dream is to assemble traditional rulers, community stakeholders, victims, and the general public in this iconic space.
Traditional Abolition for Lasting Change We understand that because these caste systems were instituted traditionally, their eradication must also be respected and dismantled through traditional consensus. The gathering at Okpara Square is not just a rally; it is designed to be a definitive, binding abolition ceremony. By bringing all communities together, we aim to collectively perform the necessary rites and declarations that will permanently nullify these discriminatory customs.
