ITO-OGBO OBOSI FESTIVAL (LONGEVITY
CULTURAL FESTIVAL OF OBOSI KINGDOM). IN
ANAMBRA STATE NIGERIA.
Ito-ogbo Obosi festival is an aged-long cultural
festival of Obosi kingdom started around 1450, to
thank God for the aged ones (octogenarians ) in
Obosi kingdom, It is a festival of celebration of
longevity, A traditional mass birthday party for
the age grade that attained the age of eighty ( 80 )
years, and above.
During the occasion, the Octogenarians were
honored with the tittle of Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi, or
Nwanyi Nnokwudo eshi/efi in case of women,
which people refers to as, Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi
Nwanyi nowadays.
The tittle Ogbueshi is a Powerful, Prestigeous,
Respectable, Adorable, Admirable tittle in Obosi
kingdom, which every true sons and daughters of
Obosi, even the wives( non indigenes) married to
Obosi men were praying to get, in his/her life
time. Though there are two categories of
Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi in Obosi. The first is that given
to those that did Ito-ogbo Obosi festivals, that is
the octogenarians. The second is the one given to
those that may or may not be up to Eighty
(80)years, that one is called Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi
Odina-ana,
Because of the records of the establishment of
this Longevity cultural Festival of Obosi Kingdom
dates back to 1450. And the presence of early
Missionaries and Educationist in Obosi, Together
with the Age grade group systems practiced in
Obosi. Obosi People keeps accurate records of
their ages even before the 18th. Century, unlike
other towns in Igbo lands, and most towns in
Nigeria and Africa even in the world, where ages
were exaggerated or estimated through events or
circumstances during the birth of their early
people or fore Fathers ( OBOSI FURU-UZO NO
OGE-GBOO)
This account confirm Obosi kingdom as the FIRST
Igbo town, the FIRST town in Nigeria, if not the
whole Africa, that Celebrates LONGEVITY
CULTURAL FESTIVAL, and as one of the Cradles of
Igbo Civilisation.
In the olden days this Festival to Honor Ogbueshi
takes place after every Six (6) years, for the
people that attained the ages of 80, 81, 82, 83, 84,
and 85 years, but later it was changed to Three
(3)years covering people of 80, 81, and 82 years,
unlike before only Male octogenarians were
honored with the tittle of Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi and
allowed to wear Red cap chief, then the female
octogenarians were called Nwanyi Nnokwudo-
eshi/efi but later years the Female Octogenarians
joins their Male counterpart to celebrate the Ito-
ogbo Obosi Festival and people refers to them as
Ogbueshi/Ogbuefi Nwanyi, but without a cap or
hat, until 2012 when Ogbo Udokamma(1931-1
933), celebrated their own, the Female were also
capped with a specially designed hat.
The Clebration is nowadays a weak long programs
with different unique activities that attracts
people all over the world, until the last day
Sunday,( EKE), when the extreme Christians
among them Prestigeously go to Their different
Churches for thanks giving and the non-believers
or the custodians among them Prestigeously
decorated colourfully their native cows(bull)( Eshi-
Igbo) with different cultural display to Eke Obosi
( IPU-EKE), where they will shoot guns into the air
in Jubilation and to announce that they have
attained the grand age with Ogbueshi tittle which
every true Obosi man or woman aspire to attain.
As they are going or coming back they sprinkle
gifts( money, sweets, chewing gums etc.) to the
children in appreciations to what The Lord as
done in their lives,
Some of the week-long activities were Free
Seminars, Lectures, Talks on How to live long, Free
Medical Checks, Free medical tips, Cultural
Displays, Football Matches, Music Concerts,
Masqurade Displays, Honoring outstanding sons
and daughters and good friends of Obosi
kingdom who has been contributing in one way or
the other for the progress of the town, Beauty
pageants to crown ADA-OBOSI, The Ito-ogbo EVE
on Friday then the main Capping day on Saturday
followed by the Prestigeous Thanksgiving on
Sunday or IPU-EKE on that Sunday EKE day.
The Federal Government, and the state need to
join hand to sponsor this Festival to make it an
International recognized Festival in Obosi,
Anambra state, Nigeria.
Obosi kingdom is again in top gear for the
preparation of Ito-Ogbo Asika Age grade
(1934-1936 ), coming up Around March 2015.
My advice to Tourist, Observers, Media People,
Journalists, Those that want to witness this
unique, Prestigeous, Longevity Cultural Festival
called Ito- Ogbo Obosi, to start now to book for
hotels around Obosi, Nkpor, Onitsha, and Oba
because by November all the hotels around these
areas will be fully booked, except they want to
lodge in neighboring state Hotels,
I also advice those intending to witness Ito-ogbo
Obosi Festival that there is no need of budgeting
for food or drinks or meats for the week long
Programs as Obosi kingdom is capable of feeding
the whole world that period, words can never
describe the kind of merriment during that Ito-
ogbo Festival.
Long live Ndi Ogbueshi/efi Obosi.
Long live Obosi Kingdom.
Long live Igwe Obosi, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY. Igwe
Chukwudum Iweka III and His Ndi-Ichie.

The row between Super Eagles Coach Sunday
Oliseh and Vincent Enyeama may have divided
the team with a 2-0 loss to DR Congo on
Thursday and the drama that happened on the
pitch.
Captain of the team Ahmed Musa was pulled
out in the second half and went straight to
handover the captain armband to Mikel Obi but
the Chelsea player rejected the band.
Ahmed Musa had to pass the armband to
another player. Mikel’s refusal to take the
armband has been generating a lot of
arguments within football fraternity as many
described his attitude as unprofessional and
unwise.
However, some said that Mikel was being
diplomatic judging by the humiliation handed
to Vincent Enyeama and the eventual
retirement of the goalkeeper from national
assignment.
Undoubtedly, Mikel is older than Musa in the
national team and should have become the
captain in the absence of Enyeama, even
though the coach has the legality to choose his
own captain.
Will Mikel like to deputize for Ahmed Musa? The
question was answered on the pitch on
Thursday.
The development vividly revealed that there is
crisis in the senior national team. www.weyab.com/2015/10/mikel-rejected-captain-armband-from.html?m=1
