Umueze Village Amawbia Celebrates 47th Eze-Akaa Festival, Emphasizes Unity and Collective Progress


By Regina Igwebuike

Umueze Village, Amawbia in Awka South LGA, Anambra State, Nigeria, has marked a significant milestone with the successful celebration of its 47th Eze-Akaa festival. This vibrant event showcased its rich cultural heritage and reinforced the kindred spirit that defines Umueze Village.


Nze Raluchukwu Nwonu, Chairman of the occasion, highlighted the significance of Eze-Akaa as an annual event. "Having attended this event since my childhood, I'm delighted to see it grow stronger with innovative additions. The joy is palpable, and I extend my gratitude to the Umueze Village leadership and planning committee for preserving their customs and traditions."


He offered prayers for Umueze Village's continued unity and growth, and wished for an even more successful Eze-Akaa festival in 2025, which the community eagerly anticipates every December 26th.


Mr. Ikechukwu Okeke, Chairman of the Umueze Welfare Association (UWA), warmly welcomed attendees to the Eze-Akaa festival, a celebration of Umueze's rich cultural heritage held every December 26. He took the opportunity to highlight his administration's achievements, including transforming the Umueze Vigilante into a more effective security unit, equipped with necessary gadgets and infrastructure.


Okeke also mentioned the construction of security gates and additional archways in Umueze, which have enhanced the community's safety and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, his administration successfully retrieved the Umueze Village Hall, previously used as the NYSC Secretariat, and is now seeking donations to renovate the hall and give it a much-needed facelift.


Expressing gratitude to supporters, Okeke thanked Ndi Umueze and his executive for their unwavering backing, praying for the continued prosperity of all attendees and wishing them a safe journey home. 

Earlier at Obu Eze-Akaa, Sir Willie Nwokoye (Dike Eze-Akaa di iche), former Principal Secretary to Gov. Willie Obiano, highlighted the 35-year vacancy of Amawbia's seat at the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council Chamber. This was due to Igwe Ositadinma Okoye's incapacitation. Sir Nwokoye emphasized the need for a certified traditional ruler to occupy the seat.


He urged Ndi Umueze's support to push for a firm definite date for the election of Okpaligwe in 2025, ensuring the seat remains filled. Ozonkpu Eddy Nwokoye (Dike Eze-Akaa di iche), echoed this sentiment, warning that government rationalization could impact Amawbia's prominence once the Government House moves to Awka.


Nze Uche Okonkwo, an Okpaligwe aspirant, in an interview shortly after the event, shared his thoughts on the Eze-Akaa festival, highlighting its significance as a cherished tradition. As 'Nwadiana', he attends the festival annually and hopes it will continue to thrive. 


He also commended the village's recognition of outstanding individuals who have contributed to Umueze's growth and development, expressing his desire for the awards to inspire further generosity toward the village and humanity.


Mr. Uchenna Okeke, Chairman of the 47th Eze-Akaa Festival Planning Committee, was beamed with joy over the event's success. He prayed that Umueze village will continue to set a positive pace, inspiring others through its exemplary leadership.


The 47th Eze-Akaa festival featured Awards to outstanding individuals, Masquerades, cultural dances by men and women groups as well as Ufvie dance by the Nze na Ozo title holders.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff.
