OKO OKWU MASQUERADE FESTIVAL AMONG THE EDDA CLAN

To be sure, Edda clan is one of the cultural headquarters in Igboland. Any tourist who visits the ancient land is usually carried away by the plethora of ancient sites that are yet to be harmed by human activities. The Amancho Cave, the Ekoli/Nguzu valleys and hills and the Ezi Iyieku and the Ama Ichakara Waterfalls in Ekoli combine to give the clan an aesthetic art view that is second to none.

Again, Edda clan is also known as home of masquerades. Some masquerades mark the end of the Egbela initiation ceremony, some appear during new yam festivals and some during funeral services. Some of the funeral masquerades include: Ali Opoghoro-Opoghoro, Ali Akogi and Oko Okwu.

Our discussion today will focus on Oko Okwu masquerade. Oko Okwu is a burial masquerade that mimics the deceased behavior in his life-time, and recounts his glorious achievements. A renowned Egbela soloist usually accompany the masquerades to sing the praises of the departed.

In the process of mimicking the deceased, the Oko Okwu can dramatize, sing and dance.

Egburegbu Soup

This soup is usually prepared by Ebonyi State Indigenes.
Egburegbu soup is the most treasured soup that Edda people from Edda (formerly Afikpo south) local government area of Ebonyi state and Nkporo in Ohaofia LGA of Abia state value more than any other soup.
When ever there is a high profile person visiting or an important occasion like wedding, that is when the soup is prepared for the occasion or the visitor(s).

We congratulate Barr. Eni Uduma Chima Ph.D on his your meritorious appointment as the Chairman, Ebonyi State Fertilizer Board.

Congratulations Chief Okpata Ozuoha, indeed "More Can Be Done".

These are what we See in Ebonyi State Everyday since Nwifuru took Over As Governor Of Ebonyi State, different Celebrations in the government House, either some groups host the governor or the Governor host the groups.

It's absolutely Owambe Regime! No single meaningful projects Going in the State except gutter and Culvert Projects as usual.

The current Government has failed woefully and we pray that God intervene.

* Water projects as early paraded has been abandoned.

* Hawkers empowerment Abandoned and messed up

* Housing for displaced people abandoned

* Airport abandoned.

Everything that partake to this administration is fallen apart!

Ebonyi State is about to slide into developmental comatose under the current governor, Hon. Ogbonna Nwifuru

No ideas, no sight and no intentions.

Edda Egbebu is too blessed and obviously loved by the almighty God but lack of true leadership and lack of love for one another has remained a stud on our way to progress and unity.

Nde Edda, do you think we need spiritual deliverance/cleansing or Mental renewal???

Edda as a
clan must rise beyond communal limitations else rising is still far for her people.

Enjoy this Chrismas

🚨 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆:
Are you aware that Sporting Lagos midfield enforcer, Chinedu Ufere played his 1085th minute for the club this season after featuring for the entire duration against Abia Warriors?

Yes! It was the 10th consecutive game that Ufere would play the entire duration this season.

He has ONLY been subbed just once this campaign - during their 0-0 draw at Akwa United.

Ufere is the ideal midfield player every coach would wish to have in his team.
