I traveled to Awambia, Anambra State, to experience one of the most fascinating Igbo traditions—Ókù Jí (boiling oil and yam) and the Nzu ritual. This was more than just a meal; it was a deep cultural and spiritual experience.
In this video, I take you through the significance of prayers with Nzu (white chalk), the blessing of the kola nut (Igo Ọjị), and the powerful tradition of eating Ókù Jí, where yam is dipped into boiling palm oil. It was an unforgettable moment, filled with history, meaning, and a true connection to Igbo heritage.
Watch as I immerse myself in this tradition and share my thoughts on this unique experience. Have you ever witnessed or participated in this ritual? Let me know in the comments!
