ODINANI MGBIDI 2025: A Celebration of Culture and Heritage

On September 20th, 2025, the people of Mgbidi gathered at the Mgbidi Central School Field for the grand cultural fiesta ODINANI MGBIDI 2025. The event was a colorful display of tradition, deeply rooted in the values of our forefathers.

Just like the Iwaji Festival (New Yam Festival) which unites communities in thanksgiving and cultural pride, Odinani Mgbidi served as a platform to showcase our heritage, reminding us that our traditions are not just relics of the past, but living treasures passed down through generations.

The festival featured:

Masquerades; Symbols of ancestral presence and guardians of the land.

Cultural Dances; Vibrant rhythms that told our people’s stories.

Ojinaka Togbo Music Display – Authentic sounds that awakened the spirit of togetherness.

Traditional Music; Melodies that connected the past with the present.

The theme, “Culture is Our Heritage”, was well represented throughout the celebration and reinforced the importance of preserving our identity in an ever-changing world. Just as the Iwaji Festival reminds us of gratitude for harvest, Odinani Mgbidi reminded us of gratitude for culture ..... for without culture, a people lose their roots.

It was more than just an event; it was a homecoming that brought sons and daughters of Mgbidi together to celebrate and reconnect with what truly defines us.

In June 2025, Hope took a new road in Mgbidi, a journey to keep our children in school, no matter the obstacles.
The Mgbidi Education Fund.
Under the leadership of Chairman Mazi Chukwujieku oha, stood firm on his mandate.
No child should ever drop out of school because of lack of money.
This vision is backed by its founder, Chief Tom Onyeagwa , Idejiuno na Mgbidi and other sponsors like Chief Felix Ikeanyionwu, Chief Vintus ifeji.
Chief Engineer Afam Okechukwu, Engineer Bob Harrison, and supported by many well-meaning sponsors, MEF brought learning tools into the hands of thousands.
Each exercise book given was more than a paper.
It was a doorway to a future, a promise that brilliency will never be silenced by poverty ever again.
From the flat roads to the steep hills, through hidden schools and dusty paths, Mgbidi Education Fund MEF endured it all.
Because the future of Mgbidi is written in the education of our children.
But this is just the beginning.
With your support, MEF can reach further, lift higher and secure the education of every child in Mgbidi.
Mgbidi Education Fund, Building dreams, Empowering the future.
