\n

A community leader, Innocent Ezuma has challenged traditional rulers of Igbo extraction to revive all neglected but progressive Igbo customs and traditions, in order to maintain the dignity and respect of Igbo people,\u00a0 amongst other ethnic nationalities in the country.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Ezuma gave the advice at his country home, Ndiakunwata Iheme, Ideato North Local Government<\/a> Area of Imo on Saturday,during the 2022 edition of the annual \u2018Ikeji\u2019 Arondizuogu Cultural Festival.<\/p>\n

He advised that the Igbo nation, noted for their rich cultural heritage, should not allow the influence of Western culture, science and technology to rubbish their worthy legacies and traditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Igbo man should trace his tradition to know why his fore fathers lived long without hospitals<\/a> and schools.<\/p>\n

\u201d Western education, science and technology are important but we should not allow them to kill our rich cultural heritage which is our own way of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because if there is no culture, there will be no future and nations only develop on the basis of their culture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ezuma, an industrialist, popularly\u00a0 known as Agunechemba of Arondizuogu, said that the Ikeji Arondizogu cultural festival involved the Oso masquerade day, and Egbugbu- which entail the people offering sacrifice to the ancestors and praying for bumper harvest.<\/p>\n

He said that the Nkwo Achi, the climax of the festival, was meant to appease the gods of the community for increased agricultural<\/a> yield.<\/p>\n

He added that the people also used the opportunity of the Nkwo Achi to express their gratitude to their forefathers for their continued love, protection and guidance.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Ikeji Arondizuogu Cultural Festival has been listed in the legion of the nation\u2019s tourism destinations and will soon appear in the UNESCO Tourism destination record.<\/p>\n

He said that only qualified indigenes of the community, who had fulfilled the necessary cultural requirements as stipulated by the gods of the land, are eligible to participate in the masquerades display.<\/p>\n

Ezuma listed some of the masquerades to include the Akatankpo, and the Okwonma Arusi Idozuka.<\/p>\n

Similarly, a traditional title holder in the area, Chief Charles Nwankwo, described the festival as a culture that was handed down to the people by their ancestors.<\/p>\n

He said that the Ikeji festival is in two phases, namely the ritual aspect which entails the appeasement of and thanksgiving to the gods of the land for bumper harvest.<\/p>\n

He said that the second phase is the ceremonial session which has to do with masquerading.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all the other aspects of the festival have been done, the masquerading aspect of the event commences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nwankwo listed the masquerades as Ogwonma, Mgbadike, Ojuonu and Nwagwocha .<\/p>\n

An invitee from Mbaise, Mr Nnamdi Amadi, \u00a0described the event as an \u201cinteresting cultural and traditional festival where the people displayed their culture to its fullness to showcase their origin and tradition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen a lot of masquerades display today; It is important that while we talk about Christianity, we should imbibe our culture to show where we came from, who we are and what we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amadi also advised other Igbo states and communities not to forget their roots, adding that the Arondizuogu Cultural Festival was an ancient culture.<\/p>\n

The Jos-based legal practitioner, however, regretted that most Igbo communities have abandoned their culture because of religion.<\/p>\n

\u201cReligion did not tell you to abandon your culture or history. Even Christ obeyed the Jewish Passover tradition and other feasts and urged the Israelites to continue to observe them.<\/p>\n

\u201cArondizuogu people should sustain their culture which is worth of emulation,\u201d Amadi said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
