The Igbo people wherever they migrate usually organize their traditional assemblies of people from the same village, town or clan.
The assemblies "abroad" (away from the village, town or clan, or "home") meet at fixed time intervals in the cities where they are resident. They render mutual help to their members; promote development in their villages, towns and clans or communities of origin.
This is what led to the formation of Ndigbo Ternopil On the 4th of May 2008.On this day (4th May 2008) there were the first gathering of Igbo students at TERNOPIL STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY (TSMU).On the 12th September 2008, the second meeting was held at the 9th floor common room TSMU Hostel and from that day henceforth meetings are being held.
The slogan "Ezinwanne di na-mba" which literally means "there is a true brother outside home"was adopted.
The aims and aspirations of this organization is for the promotion of Unity, cultural heritage of Ndigbo in Ternopil and all over the world.
It aims at fostering the understanding and goodwill among Ndigbo wherever they may be resident, with Nigerians, Africans, and the general public.
Ndigbo kwenu ! Ndigbo kwenu !! Ndigbo kwezuonu ! ! !
