Ofala Festival
The Ofala Festival also called Ofala Nnewi, is an annual ceremony practiced by the indegenes of Onitsha in Anambra State, South-Western Nigeria. The term ''ofala'' (English: authority of the land) is derived from two Igbo words - ''ofo'' (English: authority) and ''ala'' (English: land). The festival which is described as the most important surviving traditional ceremony of Onitsha indigenes is celebrated within two days mostly in December and January in honour of the ''Obi'' (English: king).〔
==History==
According to oral history, the Ofala Festival can be traced back to the 1950s. It is originally celebrated twice - a day after the coronation of the ''Obi'' and after his death which is called "the last Ofala". Due to external factors like civilization, social and political issues, it is now celebrated annually.
