Speaker Jatau urges Nigerians to preserve cultural heritage
The speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Danladi Jatau, urged Nigerians to protect, project, and preserve their cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations.
Mr Jatau gave the advice on Thursday during the Eggon traditional marriage (Ebyekpyen) and send-forth prayer of Mayo Abel-Bala, daughter of Abel Bala, the deputy majority leader of the state assembly.
The traditional solemnisation is between Ms Abel-Bala and her husband, Ewuga Ekwama, held at Mada Station, Nassarawa Eggon council area.
Mr Jatau said that the role of embracing and upholding cultural traditions in fostering unity and peace cannot be overemphasised.
The speaker also called on the intending couple to always embrace forgiveness, unity, effective communication and peace for the progress of their family. According to him, a good wife is a blessing to her husband and the family at large.
“I also want to urge our daughter, Mayo, to share ideas with her husband. Your husband should be your friend, and you should know what your husband wants, his likes and dislikes.
“I am happy to be here to witness the traditional wedding between our daughter, Mayo Abel Yakubu Bala, and her husband. I want to advise you to embrace unity, peace, love, patience and understanding as well as tolerance among other good attributes,” he said.
Mr Jatau said that no marriage would be successful without patience, understanding and love, among other good virtues.
