On December 28, 2019 Awka, the capital city of Anambra State in Nigeria, celebrated the birthday of the oldest man in the town, Chief Ozo Nwibe Nwosu, who turned 119 years.
Awka operates a gerontocratic republican democracy, with the oldest man at the apex of community power structure.
The 2019 Otochal Awka Day was the third edition of the celebration. It was a grand event, and Awka Times Magazine (ATM) was there to cover the celebrations. Enjoy our exclusive video coverage of the momentous event.
