There was excitement, celebration, and cultural display in the Ebem Ohafia community in Abia State as Mr. Azubuike Onwuka, grandson of the late renowned academic, Prof. Uga Onwuka, traced his ancestral homeland after more than three decades away from home.
Azubuike, who was born to a Dutch mother and raised in the Netherlands, undertook the journey across Europe and Africa to reconnect with his roots and see first-hand the land of his forefathers.
He recalled that the historic expedition saw him drive through 13 countries – the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin Republic – before arriving in Ebem Ohafia, in Ohafia Local Governmrnt Area Abia State, Nigeria.
