Onowu Educates Emeka on a sacred festival that values life and he explores why the people of Obosi push to live longer than most in Nigeria. He takes us through the culture and tradition behind the festival of longevity- Ito Ogbo Obosi.

For the 1st time in 500 years, We explore a festival that is held in a town in the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, West Africa. A festival that in its practice, holds the elixir of life!. The average life expectancy in Nigeria is 56yrs but the people of Obosi live up to the ripe age of 80 and beyond. They are known to look much younger than their age and tend to live till their 90s with full cognitive ability. There is a reason why people are pushing for this festival to be made a UNESCO Heritage Event and adopted all over the world. The documentary is told through the narration of Onowu (Played by Pete Edochie) whose friend died in a state of penury. He decides to see how his funeral preparation is going only to find his friend's son Dr Emeka ( Played by Jeffery Achu) planning a grandiose event. Onowu then takes the opportunity to show Dr Emeka a different way to honor and celebrate your parents while alive. We follow important members of this sacred and revered community in Nigeria and interview prominent Obosi sons and daughters including; the former Commonwealth Secretary-General Chief Emeka Anyaoku and many others as they describe why this festival is revered and looked forward to. They also go through the history of Obosi, their practices and the religious and social-economic implications of this festival.—Haggai Nwokolo
