Ogbunike Caves is located in Anambra
State, southeastern Nigeria. In a valley blanketed
by tropical rain forest behind the "Ogba" hills in
which lies behind St. Monica College Ogbounike, in
Oyi Local government area just 10km drive from
Onitsha the commercial nave center of Eastern
Nigeria. The cave was discovered by a hunter
called Ukwa,he did not bargain for the kind of
discovery he made. He set out from his home,
filled with the greatest expectation and hopeful of
the day’s biggest hunt for wild animals. Then
came the shock, for he suddenly came face to face
with what in his imagination looked abnormal,
something clad in immaculate attire. For a
moment, his mind drifted from the reality to the
unknown; his heart beat failed him, and he stood
petrified. Sitting some few meters away from him
on an anthill was a weird looking figure of
extraordinary size. He was caught in a vortex of
fear, and apparently seeing the state of mind the
hunter was, the monster then broke the silence and
spoke for the first time, thus allaying his fears. He
made it known to the hunter that his mission was
to keep watch over the people of Ogbunike, to
ensure their safety in times of war, and to protect
them from the pangs of evil. He pointed towards
the valley where the cave was situated as his
“Obi”. He told the dumbfounded hunter to visit him
again on Eke market day, but warned that on no
account must he be accompanied by dogs. For
dogs are taboos to the Ogba Cave even till today.
365 STAIRCASE THAT LEAD TO THE CAVE One tunnel of the Cave
Descending into the valley where the cave is
located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 365
steps that was constructed by the Anambra State
Government in the mid 90s. At the end of the
walkway is an open space used as a reception
point where visitors are by tradition to remove
their shoes.
Entrance to the Cave
One
chamber of the Cave
They are various branches of the cave but the main
cave consists of a massive structure with a big
open chamber of about 5m high, 10m wide and
30m long at the entrance. There are ten tunnels at
the main chamber leading to different directions.
Within the tunnels are 58 chambers and other
tunnels of varying lengths, some of which are inter
connected. Inside the cave there is also a waterfall
which is use for spiritual healing. The cave is
occupied by a large colony of bats of various
sizes. There are streams and body of water at
various places. A stream flows out from one of the
tunnels into a rapid flowing river (River Nkisse).
River Nkisse
Warm
and
Cold
water
joined together at river Nkisse
At the meeting point of the river and the stream
one can feel the warm water from the cave and the
cold river water. Beside this portion of the river is
a table land of about 5 X 5 square meters used as
a relaxation spot by visitors to the cave. The
immediate environment of the cave is up to 200
meters radius in a thick tropical rainforest type of
vegetation. Among the fauna of the site are deer,
antelope, grass cutter, porcupine, rabbit, alligator,
snakes and frogs. Others are fish, crabs and birds.
The cave is associated with living
traditions and is said to be used by the people for
many centuries. The site still retains its historical
and spiritual significance. There is an annual
festival called "Ime Ogbe" celebrated in
commemoration of the discovery of the cave. The
biodiversity of the site has remained almost intact.
The integrity of the site can be attested to by the
presence of the primary forests around the caves.
The Nkisa River flows by the side of the caves into
which the water that drains from the cave empties
itself. At a point, where there is a difference in
temperature is felt between the river and the water
from the rock. The entire site is within ranges of
undulating hills and valleys which stretch across
other communities and farmlands. The site has
sufficient boundaries (20 hectares) to protect its
values from direct effects of human encroachment.
