[@odjevweoraka8480]

Onye igbo one

[@azaniabantuzulu]

Igbos and lembas are true israelites

[@ericezeokoli8800]

Oja Ndi Igbo is a musical Instrument that is blown with the Mouth. It is among other Mouth blown musical instruments like Clarinet, Saxophone, etc.............Any gender Male or Female (Man or Woman ) can "blow" those instruments for production of a Melody.........In Igbo land most of the time Oja is used as part of Masquerade Activity which Women in Igbo land are forbidden to participate in (NOT allowed). Men therefore blow the Oja most of the time............read this carefully.............That DOES NOT mean Women are forbidden to blow the Oja as part of other NON-Masquerade Activity like Dance Melody, in the case here. Oja is part of this Dance Melody as Clarinets, Saxophones etc. are to ANY Music production. Yes Women blow Mouth Musical Instruments like Clarinets, Saxophones etc. It is like a Male Nurse or Male Mid-Wife..........generally Women do those work. That DOES NOT mean that Men are FORBIDDEN to work as Nurses or take the position of a Mid-Wife ( working with Doctors to help in baby delivery) .

[@igbaniliz2878]

Where is the acrobatics? This is a washout. Teach the real thing or something close enough or just leave it alone. The Oja sound got me though.

[@kelikel2]

That's why it's up to ppl who grew up in culture to teach the overseas born igbo from a young age... Fortunately we have igbo women like Amazing Ijeoma who are intentional and teach their charge culture via dance... They won't learn from attending the odd cultural show... They need dedicated teaching..

[@justinben4285]

Acrobatics make atologwu super. Where is acrobat. It's foreign atologwu ok . Accepted

[@ebeleobianyo3729]

Dancing is more of traditional women dance steps and not the agile atilogwu dance which is More acrobatic.

[@chukwuene9569]

IBO AMAKA

[@alexandrumarius3947]

Na you be Ibo

[@jeffreysmith6930]

Igbo oma ndi ejieme onu

[@arinzeezeka3326]

Umuchineke udodiri unu nile igbo bu ikemba

[@firstlady1580]

At least they are doing something...you are in Nigeria just criticising and can't even do anything cause your darling Pastor And Church said its evil...please Zukwanike!.

[@laurentdiochet3277]

certainly the West has been there, what a shame for the costumes

[@romanusogbutor4726]

With thank's from americanfashionwear to oranaezendiigbo.

[@sonofnok2153]

So sad all these foreign born Igbos move so clumsily to their ancestral heritage. Some can't even say their own names properly. Great respect to Ohaya and the troops regardless. IGbo Kwenu! Omenani anyi g'adi

[@judiyahspeaks5778]

At least they are honoring their heritage in some form. Why the criticism? Be positive!!

[@fredokoyeokoye1826]

Son of NOK are you sure that you are an Igbo? the first African medical doctor isn't he an Igbo mixed up with white yet he gave us the honor.

[@fredokoyeokoye1826]

Son of NOK I meant the first black doctor.

[@kelikel2]

@@judiyahspeaks5778 well said.. How will they know unless those with all the cultural knowledge take time to teach. This is a fantastic effort. With more dedication and practice.. they'll excel.

[@unitedstatesofbiafra4345]

Nwanyi Ana egbu oja! Does a woman blow the okay flute. Abomination!

[@kelikel2]

Pleeeze! If she's got the gift...then let her do so.... Move on!

[@ericezeokoli8800]

Women blow Saxophone which is more like Oja. Generally Men blow Oja BUT Women are NOT forbidden to blow Oja. Like I told one Commenter already, it is like a Man working as a Nurse or Midwife.............. Masquerade is Forbidden for Women. Women cannot even come out and watch it much less get close to it.

[@pamdicson3897]

U never see anything. Remain there. Maybe the dance sef no suppose happen outside Igbo land too, abi? This kind of thinking won't get you anywhere. Change

[@tozzchuq7949]

Pls stop this rubbish why won't a woman blow flute

[@Greg-cn2bl]

Igbo amaka
