Chief Max Igwe (Eze Umuokorobua) In Ofeme native language; ekwela ka acho gi ehi ahu, meaning if you stay away from Ofeme Area, you have stayed away from party. As the beautiful sons and daughters of Ofeme ancient kingdom will step into the Arena to display her rich cultural heritage, you are all invited to join us and make our day a special one.

Last year, during Ofeme youth day at the Christmas Village, Ofeme, the political and cultural capital of the clan, ethnic groups across, was the centre of attraction. I can recall with nostalgia how some visitors trooped into our makeshift hub, to harness different talents, products on display was not behind. We practically stole the show to the consternation of the public that gathered at the Christmas Village Park Ofeme.

How time flies, don’t forget; for commerce, with notable export of palm produce, especially palm oil, palm kernel, Raffia products and home for crops such as yam and cassava. All these products shall be displayed, is what this great land Ofeme is known for, at the Christmas Village Park this year for all to see. Above all, our very rich cultural heritage shall be deployed in full squad and come out en masse to showcase the stuff that we are made of.

The Christmas Unplugged 2.0 is a vision of the youth ambassador Chief Dr Ebere Igwe: lover of good things who’s dream is to meaningfully engage the youths.

Therefore, in a simple way, the youths as leaders of tomorrow has sent for us. As a proud man and woman of Ofeme, wherever you are around Abia State, negotiate and galvanize your way towards the Christmas Village Park for the show anytime from noon. “We no dey carry last”. Watch out for the show!
