Product Description

Okpanku: History, Culture & Traditions documents the heritage of the Okpanku community, located in the Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State, Southeastern Nigeria. It covers the origin, structure, and notable landmarks of Okapnku, including the Avor Market and Ivo River, which are both significant to the community's history. The book also details Okpanku's family structure and age-grade system, which is essential for social organisation, and explores spiritual beliefs, particularly the reverence for Earth goddess, Ali, and other deities. Then, traditional customs such as marriage, taboos, and ritual practices are examined alongside core values like respect for elders, communalism, and disdain for theft.
