MKPOKITI AND ATILOGWU DANCE!

For clarity sake, there is no difference between Mkpokiti and Atilogwu dance except the nomenclature.
The dance is originally 'Mkpokiti' from Umunze town in Anambra state as stated by the OP.
Owing to its scintillating and electrifying displays, some people in amazement argued if the dance were fortified with charms ('Atunyere ogwu n'egwu a?' {Igbo language}). With this argument 'atunyere ogwu n'egwu a?' - meaning 'whether this dance was fortified with charms' (just like people are still asking on this thread) gives birth to the name 'Atilogwu' - derived from 'Atunyere ogwu'.
Many towns embrace the dance and it spread to other Igbo towns and beyond Igbo speaking area as 'Mkpokiti' or 'Atilogwu' dance.

You are a bad researcher.

Both are different dances..

The histories of both dance are totally different not this nonsense you just constructed.

With all due respect, educate me. I equally want to learn from you.
Since you know much about it, tell me the difference, their origin and history.
I believe other people will equally learn from you.

Anu post your own research, you are always quick to condemn others but dumb to state yours, if you are smart you should've respond by stating clear difference between MKPOKITI AND ATILOGWU Dance, of course you aren't.
