As a young boy brought up in Igbo land, I know Ohafia to be the originator of the war dance in question. We used to know them those days as 'oji isi acho isi', 'Ebiriba oji azu agba egwu', etc. are all what fellow Igbos used to address them with. The war dance is unique and has on many occasions been the cynosure of all eyes. For example, during the burial of the late Odumegwu Ojukwu, they were also invited to demonstrate the war dance. The whole credit goes to Ohafia not Arochukwu. I blame the ignorance of this to the history that has been removed in Nigerian's schools. Even some years back, corps members from Ohafia won accolades for presenting it during the cultural competition held nationwide and they won as they registered the unique dancing steps that triggered the atavistic memories of those days. I am not from Ohafia. I am here to correct the misleading information. 2 Likes |
