We believe in our oneness, captured by the sovereign expression “Wir Dze Wir, Bih Wir”, our Coat of Arms, I AM because YOU ARE, the Nso rendition of UBUNTU, we are one. ‘Tis the “WE” in “YOU” & I that makes US stand strong, united, the blueprint of invincibility, not because we compete, rather because we collaborate for the benefit of all.
We stand for equality, justice, respect, unity, and progress as a community of individuals, not as individuals in a community.
The solid foundation we build in the diaspora affords a platform on and through which we can celebrate our culture, pass on its values and ethos to generations that would otherwise suffer the entrapment of a looming identity crisis. This solid foundation will galvanize our resolve and put in place what it takes to support our communities back home, out of poverty, subsistence, hunger, and disease.
You are welcome to celebrate with us because, at heart, you too, though not from the NSO tribe, are one with us in spirit. Different parts, one body.
Unity in Diversity
The concept of “Wir Dze Wir, Bih Wir” encapsulates the essence of unity in diversity. It highlights the interconnectedness of individuals and emphasizes the strength that comes from collaboration rather than competition. In a world that often focuses on individual success, we choose to stand together as a community, united by our shared values.
Equality and Justice
At the core of our beliefs is the commitment to equality and justice. We recognize the importance of treating every individual with fairness and respect, regardless of their background or circumstances. By upholding these principles, we create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the betterment of society.
The Power of Collaboration
Collaboration lies at the heart of our success. We understand that by working together, we can achieve far more than we could as individuals. Through collective efforts, we can address the challenges faced by our communities, uplift those in need, and create sustainable change. It is through collaboration that we build a strong and resilient foundation for future generations.
Celebrating Culture and Heritage
Our diaspora community provides a platform for us to celebrate our rich culture and heritage. By preserving and passing on our traditions, values, and ethos, we ensure that our identity remains intact, even in a foreign land. This celebration of culture not only strengthens our sense of belonging but also serves as a bridge between generations, preventing an identity crisis that can arise from a disconnection with our roots.
Supporting Communities
Our commitment extends beyond our diaspora community. We strive to support our communities back home, working towards alleviating poverty, providing access to education, healthcare, and addressing the basic needs of those in need. By standing together and leveraging our collective resources, we can make a significant impact and create a brighter future for all.
Welcoming All
While our celebration may be rooted in the NSO tribe, we welcome everyone to join us in spirit. We believe that despite our differences, we are all interconnected, and together we can create a world that values unity, collaboration, and respect for all individuals.
So, let us stand strong, united as one, embracing the spirit of “Wir Dze Wir, Bih Wir.” Together, we can build a better future for ourselves, our communities, and generations to come.
