The festival
The festival that never ends
Oga-Aga-Agwu-Agwu is Achi’s great gathering, held every three years at Obu Achi, the seat where tradition says our father Achi settled and raised his sons. It exists to remind us of our strength when we come together, reason together and act as one.
The 2027 edition opens the new year. All twelve communities, our elders, our women and youth, and our sons and daughters from across Nigeria and abroad come home to Obu Achi Square on New Year’s Day.
Isii n’ụlọ, isii n’agụ.
The legacy
Water for all twelve communities
The Finance Sub-Committee recommends that the legacy of this festival be the Achi Water Grid: pipe-borne water from a hilltop scheme in every community, piped along our major roads to every hamlet and, in time, every home.
Recommended to the Central Planning Committee; decision pendingIn every community
A hilltop water scheme
Each community chooses its highest point for a borehole, a solar pump and storage tanks, so water flows downhill without diesel.
Along major roads
Trunk mains, 6 to 10 inches
Main pipes follow our major roads. Hamlets connect to them, then extend the pipe to homes.
For the long run
An Achi Water Board
A community-owned board runs, repairs and pays for the grid, so it still works when our grandchildren inherit it.
