Ogwashi Ukwu Zonal Jolly 2023

Ogwashi Ukwu Zone in conjunction with Tawinji Band present 2023 annual Jollification The leader of the movement or a prominent figure steps forward and raises a hand in a salute-a symbolic gesture to acknowledge the struggles and sacrifices of the ancestors. The crowd responds with the same hand raised in unity, a visual testament to their solidarity and commitment to continue the fight for freedom, equality, and African pride.
Then, the mood shifts. While the remembrance is poignant, the Neo Black Movement is also about celebrating African culture and resilience. The drums intensify, and soon, the group breaks into traditional African dances. This celebration of life and culture is both a tribute to the fallen and a testament to the unbroken spirit of African people. The dances, performed with powerful and rhythmic movements, express both mourning and joy, symbolizing the strength that comes from remembering those who have gone while celebrating the ongoing journey of their cause.
