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.
At the core of our values, we stand for equality, justice, respect, unity, and progress as a community of individuals, not as individuals in a community. This belief forms the solid foundation we build in the diaspora, providing a platform on and through which we can celebrate our culture and pass on its values and ethos to future generations.
Our commitment to unity and collaboration goes beyond our immediate tribe. We extend an open invitation to all, regardless of their background, to celebrate with us. We recognize that at heart, even if you are not from the NSO tribe, you are one with us in spirit. We believe that we are all different parts of one body, interconnected and interdependent.
By embracing unity and collaboration, we create a strong support system that empowers us to address the challenges faced by our communities back home. Poverty, subsistence, hunger, and disease are not issues that can be tackled alone. It is through our collective efforts that we can make a meaningful impact and uplift those in need.
Our Coat of Arms, with its profound message of “I AM because YOU ARE,” encapsulates the essence of Wir Dze Wir. It reminds us that our strength lies in our interconnectedness and our ability to work together towards a common goal. We are not defined solely by our individual achievements, but by the collective progress we make as a community.
As we celebrate our culture and heritage, we also recognize the responsibility we have to preserve and protect it. Through education, cultural events, and initiatives, we ensure that future generations do not suffer from an identity crisis. We pass on the rich traditions and values that have shaped us, instilling a sense of pride and belonging.
Together, we stand as a testament to the power of unity and collaboration. It is through our collective efforts that we can overcome any obstacle and create a better future for all. Wir Dze Wir is not just a motto; it is a way of life that guides us in our interactions, decisions, and aspirations.
So, join us in celebrating our oneness, our unity, and our commitment to collaboration. Together, we can build a world where equality, justice, respect, unity, and progress thrive. Because in the end, it is the “WE” in “YOU” & I that makes US strong.
