    Watching from Dallas Texas this song is so spiritual I always move to tears 😭 each time I listen to it because it reminds me of my late mom and dad Thor they’re not from Umuoji nor Anambra There’re from Ezzagu Ebonyi state but this classic spiritual song was their favorite. May the souls of my late parents and the soul of every Biafran that has departed from this world rest in perfect peace.

    I’m from Nkpor but I can relate to this song cos it’s part of my childhood n I dunno how I stumbled on this song but it brought tears to my eyes as I hear the voice and reminiscing about my childhood and how happy we used to be and changes that has taken place now, such a nostalgic music and the fact that I can still sing along surprises me n I’m crying while singing n dancing, I dunno what to call that but it’s not a bad feeling just that I miss home❤ and my family especially been abroad for some years and this takes me back home straight to my father’s compound.
    Blessings to you all that made this song available on TH-cam🫶🏾😇🙏.

    A people blessed with so much wisdom, wealth and strength in all spheres of life.
    The great Igbos are one of the oldest people of the world with so much reverence to life and preservation of life.

    Theresa Ofoje definitely has a GREAT voice. I first heard this in 1982 at Enugu. The ABC1 Radio Station played it so often then that it became so famous. The track ONWUKA was played mostly over the Radio Waves. Another women singing GROUP around the 1982 is the Unubi Nnewi group led by Theresa Onuorah. NTA Enugu choir -produced "Enenebe Ejeghi Olu" was also played. NOW please MAKE sure the Compact Discs get to U.S. ( American Market) so that these Women can get the Millions of Dollars the Disc

      We are IGBOS and have absolutely nothing to do with Iduu. Iduu is the ancestor of the Edo people. He ones United all the tribes of the lower Niger, including the IGBOS but after his death all these tribes went back to their Original state. His Children migrated down south to present day Edo state (Ani-Iduu).

    • @okekechidi3377
      @okekechidi3377 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was through Iduu that the worship of idols and the usage of Afa came to the IGBOS. We were monotheistic people before his advent. Consult the book "Eden in Sumer on the Niger" ... by our illustrious sister, Prof. Obianuju Cathrine Acholonu

    These beautiful songs were first sang by Igbo women of Ogidi in the early 1900's and made popular later by the Umuoji women in the 1970s. It was called the 'Egwu torch' because it emerged about the time that torchlight hit Igbo land of Nigeria in the early 1900s and when the dancing women made certain moves in their steps, the young men would flash their torchlight to the joy and laughter of all present. Not a lot was worn in those days and the women would usually be dressed in jigida on their waist and nja on the ankles. Their firm maiden breasts were exposed. Those were the days of innocence. and a lot of girls got easily married off following their involvement with the dancing troupes.

    • @obinnaizuora5013

      It did not originate from Ogidi. Umuoji also play a variant of these song.

    • @olisa633
      @olisa633 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I cannot corroborate the origins of 'Egwu torch', but my mother danced to these same steps in the 1940s at Umunachi - next door to Ogidi. She was the lead dancer then and never forgot even one routine in later life. She is no longer with us now, but the nostalgia this dance brought to her life fills me still with joy. I miss her very much.
