“The Umor Bridge” is an afternoon event in Ugep, Yakurr LGA, Cross River State, dedicated to showcasing a compact string of moderated activities, from poetry infused with the Lokaa dialect, spoken word, skills and respective art forms, exhibited and curated by indigenous young people.
There will be spiced Yakurr history and folklore rendition, that our young generation will appreciably learn from. Local contests will also be held to test how much of the culture people know; of course, all participants will be appreciated.
Besides listening to poetry and folklore, “The Umor Bridge” is primarily an attempt to encourage and promote positive Networking, where young people will meet modest exceptional men and women who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields of endeavour, tap into their knowledge and skills as a means to a defined end.
Activities at this event will also help redirect youthful energy, away from the negative attraction of cultism and cult related activities that have stood our beloved community in bad light.
This is the dream that AKAAMKE EGBE, JESAM EBRI, NTONGHA OKOI, CLINTON EKOH……….seek to actualize with this event as their modest contribution to the growth of Umor and Kekö at large.
