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.
Chai 😭😭😭this song reminds me of my mum who passed jst at the age of 32, she danced this song with her group every Christmas in our village , village to village competition, and she was always at the front line 😭😭continue to rest on ononuju umuagbala!! I miss u mum
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🫶🏾😇🙏.
I'm extremely happy to be onye Igbo. I heard to his song song in 1989 and ever since then I have been playing this song over and over and over and over again. Igbo bu oke mba.
Her voice is that of a Goddess,her dancer's and back up singer's are as sweet as Queen mother....May Aja Ani and Chukwu okike bless those that graced us with this beautiful video and song's and those watching too....Anam blood is here
The sweet sounds from beyond the metaphysical and cosmological world of the great Igbo people of the South Eastern Nigeria called Biafran Land. 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.
Watching from Washington, DC. My mom used to tell me how they went to Umuoji, as teenagers, in the early ‘70s to learn this Egwu Obi Umuoli Umuoji. It totally brings back memories. Thanks for sharing 🎉
This is probably the song that united Igbos the most..... i remember back in the days when our girls practiced this and every year, we go from town to town to learn a new song or teach them our own.... we were far more happier then. Igbo amaka. oh,how things have changed for the worst... following the white man's ways lead to nothing but sadness and emptiness. thanks for uploading
This song drives to me tears, a mixed feeling of nostalgia and sadness when I remember the fact that my grand mum who loved this song so much is late, how time flies and how the people drift away from culture so easily. I love this song too much 😢
Egwu nwanne malu nwanne na ejiro ego egote nwanne. ... true. Umuoji obodo bulu ibu maa mma Obodo nne mulu m. What a nostalgia. . ... So grateful for the Igbo rich cultural heritage. . . second to none. We should appreciate this God given endowment. Chukwu fulu anyi na anya. Thank you Theresa nwa Oforje and your group.
My mother is now 83 and this song is all she is been asking me to get and play for her and today I have found it courtesy of TH-cam. Thank you so much TH-cam... I love you more
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
I was the one playing the song. I was a studio manager at ABC 1 then. My colleagues then were Emeka Mogo, Chuzi Iboko. Nick Onyia, Tony Edochie and many more.
@@obicelestine4404 Oh you did. Really? I was at Uwani and I visited my Cousin's Supermarket ( Josie's Super Market then on John Agbo Street Achara Lay Out. I always saw Chuzi Boko in his Peugeot 504 then. He hosted the " It's Teenage Time" program then on ABC1..............he played Jackson Five's " Shake Your Body" track as an introduction to the program. Then there was "Tombo Connection Program" by Uncle Dickson, ( also known as Tony Aniebue or Aniebo ). Am I correct? So you Folks were giving us those nice GOOD Programs with GOOD Songs and Music.........GOOD old Times. I am in California, USA presently and will settle BACK down at Enugu in 20 years time, then visit USA every year. I am from Anambra State but I like the City, Enugu FIRST !!!!....................... Onitsha second.
Sweet voice, never fades. Am ready to listen to it 24 hrs.

My late mum's best music. Nothing else matters whenever this music is on. Best mum ever. Late Victoria Nwapetum Ibeabuchi. Your children, grand children and entire family are still missing you b'cos life hasn't been the same since you passed away. May mum's soul continue to rest in peace.
In memory of my late mother GREAT DANCER! My eyes are filled with tears as i remember her dancing to this track and "Ijele elubego mu n' onye ga agba egwu" Rest in peace Mrs Bridget Okwuike (ADIGHINIJE MA IJE ENWENISI)
Great song and a Masterpiece. The Igbo culture lives forever and I am proud to come from the Igbo tribe. Whenever i listen to this song, I feel really sad about people i knew that love this song and they are no longer with us.
Goose Bumps. Thanks for sharing this song. It reminds me of my childhood in Umuoji! Igbo music and language are so wise and absolutely beautiful. I live in Europe and speak several languages but Igbo really stands out!
Egwu Obi Umuoji🤍🤍🤍🤍 My mum and dad always sing this song and it's so beautiful seeing them sing and dance it together 😊. I had to download it from audiomack so they could dance some more. Umuoji nwanne Abatete nwe m makaanụ o👏👏👏
Raw talent no auto tune just pure natural voice. Her voice makes me miss my mom so much she used sing this song and dance to them. Woow! how the world has changed.
Those in the know should drop the lyrics for younger generations before it is lost forever. My mum would do it for me if she is not ill. She could sing it from A to Z
Kaiiii dis song nah legendary , no song like it in Igbo land ,Anambra state per say .Also my family legendary song , Bless you and thanks to God for u ,for such a lovely song .
Onu Okwa Ms. Theresa Ofoje did a marvelous job of vocalizing Egwu Obi Umuoli my village and hometown Umuoji music. Kudos my sister for a job well done. Prof. Francis Osita Onukwuli (Retired Educator)
My best song ,our neighbor mama Arinze Okoye from Umunachi plays it every morning back then i used to live with my auntie in Makurdi. Then, the song was one of my consolation from brutal domestic violence I faced with my auntie. Oh how time flies.
This music reminds of who I'm. Though born and bred in Enugu [ from Umuahia ancestry]. The happy days of growing up in Enugu and hearing this music consistently from NBC and EBS made a very happy child. Onu okwa are you still alive - we need to hear more from you ! Onu okwa !!! ,
I can't stop liking and playing this music it reminds me my growing up each time our neighbour from Umuoji plays the music we will all gathers in front they house to listen to it, I love you all.
My lovely mom Nnodu Ekwenugo like this song and she often sing it for me when she was alive its been a while but my mind was still younger ,,,,I miss her a lot may her gently soul rest in perfect peace ....R.I.P mom this song reminds me of many days far back.
The song gives me goose pumps and sensational emotions. Am not from Anambra but I must confess Anambra has the best culture and music through out Igbo Land. Proudly Igbo.
Stop authenticating the Fulani janjaweed who divided Igbo into so-called 5 core States (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi Enugu & Imo - five fingers of a leprous hand) & remaining Igbo communities into five non-core States (Edo, Delta, Rivers, Benue & Cross River - five toes of a leprous feet)!
@@annefranciselizabeth3840 It's not that serious. The communities in Anambra has a unique culture but we are all Igbo. No need getting heated up over little things.
@@obinnaizuora5013 Mr. "Little Thing" do you know why it is it possible for a Fulani stooge to be imposed in Owerri (leading to numberless deaths), but an Igbo stooge cannot be imposed in Sokoto? How you ever heard of "divide and rule" strategy?
Just stumbled into this good old days traditional music of my childhood...Can't stop listening, watching n singing along...But literally shedded tears that the beautiful voices are NO MORE. RIP Moms...
Thank you for adding this video. When I miss home, my Mother and sisters, I just play this and am "telecarried" home as relish the sweetness of the memory of family and homeland. God bless these women and Girls who consciously preserve beautiful aspects of our culture. Isseh
My Father love this song so much, because music in our family started with my father, i remember in my primary days, my teacher then Mrs. Aniafuna loves me so much from the day she saw me singing this song. i do sing it in the class when ever we are free,
This song is so deep that it brought out tears 😭 from my eyes. It’s makes me to remember all my past family members my father, mother, and others keep resting in peace.
This music brought so much tears, nostalgia and peace at the same time. Miss my beloved mum terribly listening to this. She would always dance or sing along to this beautiful song. I used to dance with her too. Then she would say, "Chai! Uwa emebichago, oburozi egwu ka ana agu kitaa." Nne m Ubaku, ka mkpuru obi zuru ike nwanyi oma 🙏🙏🙏.
The best music so far, the music that touching the heart ❤️ I can't stop watching it, I watch over and over again, I Love it so very much❤ with a tears in my eyes😢as I saw the late man among them RIP Sir😭 This world is meaningless
This is truly a spiritual songs, the 1st and 3rd track in this video was my mom fav buh she's no more.. when i listen it just seems everything happens so fast.. how can i stop crying when i listen to this songs.. My mom my best 😢
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).
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
I have always FOCUSED on Theresa Ofoje and her voice not paying ATTENTION to the LITTLE girls DANCING. That little girl ( Ogochukwu Njo....She spoke at the very END of the video), can really dance and perform! She will do well in performing Arts.
oh my god this song reminds me of my let mum when ever she busy doing one or two things she will be singing the song oh mummy may your lovely soul rest in perfect peace Amen
My grandmother made us all like this song now that she's no more it brings back good memories........we uses to tell her the song is too old but now I'm listening to the wordings and getting the message... Umunne mu cheta nu na nwanne ma nwanne ya
This music was one of the core music that formed part of my childhood socialisation. I still cherish it till date and it helps me maintain fitness and alertness while working
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.
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.
Wonderful culture, amazing music, beautiful song. This music remind of my beautiful young age. I love listening to Igbo cultural song, it reminds me of my beautiful home town, Akoli-Edda.
This music drives me nuts positively. Can I get a few thumbs up?
🖤🖤🖤🖤
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.
Amen nwanne mmadu

Just nostalgic here. Life will never be the same.
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.
It did not originate from Ogidi. Umuoji also play a variant of these song.
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.
