HOW WE STARTED
The Sụpụ Project began in Summer 2018 as a YouTube channel, Sụpụ: The Igbo Language Cafe/Class. Our goal was to teach Igbo and engage with the public through discussions. In April 2020, we transitioned to online lessons. Founder Oby Okpala says Sụpụ really started long before then. “I always wanted to teach my children Igbo. I had strategies but didn’t know how to start — until YouTube came along.”
WHERE WE ARE NOW
Sụpụ is more than a language programme. Learning Igbo is a journey, and we take that journey with you. We add fun to the process and help you embrace its tones, step by step.
OUR STRATEGY
We use props, plays, prose, poems, and tailored materials to simplify Igbo. Our group and private classes are crafted to match the specific goals of each learner.
