About Us

Since its founding in 2007 and its registration as an incorporated trustee in 2009, the Orient Progressive Social Forum has experienced impressive growth. The organization was envisioned by a group of young individuals who aimed to prioritize the advancement of the Igbo nation. Today, it has evolved into a collective of innovative Igbo entrepreneurs, professionals, and technocrats, establishing itself as a respected forum for Igbos distinguished in various fields.

Orient is not merely a social club; it is much more. While it is not the first platform to unite Igbos, what sets Orient apart is its distinct objectives and vision for the Igbo people and nation. It is a platform for social re-engineering and nationalism, with the aim of uniting millions of innovative Igbo entrepreneurs, professionals, and politically conscious individuals to create a powerful and influential political and business network with significant investments in strategic sectors of the Nigerian economy and political sphere. This approach aims to enable the Igbo community to compete effectively without resorting to violence or other socially unacceptable methods.

The Orient Progressive Social Forum was established to address these challenges. By bringing together enterprising and innovative Igbos from around the world, Orient facilitates networking, allowing Igbos to share resources, ideas, business and political contacts, as well as practical experiences in an environment of camaraderie and shared goals. Orient endeavors to collectively revive and promote Igbo cultures and ways of life, while protecting the economic and political interests of the Igbo community.
