Akwa-Ocha (White Attire)


POEM



by Augustine Ogechukwu Nwulia

A pride to the Anioma people Pure and sacred
A symbol of culture Radiating elegance and beauty
With love and dignity Igniting the cultural traits of
Ndi Aniocha Ndi Ndokwa Ndi Ika Ndi Oshimili

Purity of a race Sanctity of a land
The life style of a people Reflected in fabric
Uniqueness in garment

Blended white regalia mashed with red coral beads
Holy sartorial sarong Truly a proclamation of culture and tradition

Oto-ogwu!

More than a sash, neither an attire nor outfit A rich social heritage and tradition

Akwa-Ocha!

An identity Definition of a people Value to cultural fiesta Meaning to umu`anioma Face of tradition
A garment of greatness!
