DDM News

Wawarism is a philosophy that emphasizes self-determination, resilience, and introspection as pathways to economic and political liberation.
Onochiengwu Obuna Esq. described Wawarism as a way of life that enables individuals to break free from subjugation and marginalization.
He stated that any reasonable person can embody Wawarism through birth, conduct, or association, regardless of background or location.
Diaspora digital media (DDM) gathered that Wawarism promotes the belief that individuals should take control of their destinies and reject external domination or exploitation.
It encourages people to develop self-reliance, strategic thinking, and a proactive approach to overcoming challenges in society.
Historical background of Wawarism
The term “Wawa” holds historical significance in southeastern Nigeria, representing resilience, hard work, and determination in the face of adversity.
Over time, the Wawa identity became associated with those who refused to accept oppression and fought for self-sufficiency.
Wawarism builds on this tradition, promoting a mindset that prioritizes independence and resistance against unfair social and economic structures.
The philosophy underscores that true freedom does not come from dependence on external forces but from personal effort and empowerment.
People who adopt Wawarism believe in charting their own paths and making independent decisions for their growth and development.
A universal ideology, not a tool for division
Wawarism is not about discrimination, ethnic superiority, or social exclusion of any group or individual in society.
Obuna emphasized that Wawarism is an inclusive philosophy that recognizes the potential of all people, regardless of origin or background.
It calls for unity, self-awareness, and the rejection of limiting beliefs that hinder personal and collective progress.
Wawarism encourages people to rise above social, economic, and political barriers by cultivating resilience and strategic action.
The ideology supports participation in governance, economic activities, and leadership roles to ensure self-representation and meaningful contributions.
A call to action for self-liberation
Wawarism serves as a call for individuals to actively work towards their own emancipation and success.
It urges people to think critically, challenge oppression, and create opportunities for themselves and others.
Obuna’s statement highlights that Wawarism is a philosophy of empowerment, not a means to divide or exclude.
By embracing Wawarism, individuals can achieve self-sufficiency, independence, and true freedom in all aspects of life.
