A visit plan for The Nwaotam festival at Akirika
Akirika, Abia, Nigeria
A flexible starting point built from BuzzBuntu's published record. Confirm opening times, routes and local access with the community before travelling.
The Nwaotam festival at Akirika, in Ukwa East, is kept on the first of January, and the photograph in this gallery is of a crowd at the celebration. Ukwa East calls itself Eastern Oil Land, its people are the Ndoki, and its best-known things are water and cloth - the Azumini Blue River and Akwete cloth, which have their own entries beside this one. The community's own account of Nwaotam, what it marks and who keeps it, is the source this entry is waiting for.
