bro4u: To summarize. Some people are attached to foolishness which they call "custom & traditiom". Instead of trying to innovate and invent things like other humans, grown up black men will gather and fetch water, tie wrapper, dance around, waste money, all the while praising a dead jew. I have given up on my people. |

Op take note, Alike is just one autonomous community in Obowo. Every part of Obowo does the Iwakwa ceremony after every 3 yrs not just Alike. Cos it's the major ceremony in the whole part of Obowo. From Alike/Amuzi all the way through Umuariam, Achara, Avutu, Ehume, Oke na Logho. When it comes to Iwakwa Obowo is number one in Igboland. Do take note..... |

MrRichmond: Watch this video below, start from 7mins after his introduction. Odinani is discreet knowledge of the universe and how everything works possessed by the Igbos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyIT9Hx7UFw&t=462s |

Well am from Ugbo, but refused to get myself involved in that Iwa akwa initiation cos I see it as an initiation into idolatry. The man that wrote this article refused to tell us why a member or two of the initiated age groups die after the initiation ceremony. I just decided to take the other alternative of joining the umuogbo via settlement. More so, the people hardly help themselves and as such don't progress much. For me, it is evil. |

This is wonderful. I already have a book written extensively on it last year and it has been made known to members of the public. You can get a clearly and adept explanation of th Iwa Akwa culture and tradition as it portrays a people of brave character.. Contact me today for a copy 2 Likes
