History In Ali Ndoki

Ndoki NmaNma-Nu! Ndi Nwem... Unu Saalachi Eeh! #HistoryInAliNdoki #DoYouKnow: In the year 1854 (about 164) years ago some of our brothers precisely from Umu Ekeke Family in Eti Ndoki, agreed to relocate back to Okoloma Afam  (History dipicts Afam and Eti are blood brothers). On their way back to Afam Ndoki,they missed their track and settled at Asa. They are the present day Umunteke in Asa. This is the more reason why Umunteke share some cultural similarities with Ali Ndoki. #UmuEkeke✏#UmuNteke #NowYouKnow #ProudlyNdoki #DurumAnyiMemaaNdoki #Share

On behalf of Ndoki NmaNma-Nu crew I want to specially thank our beloved Ndoki people, especially those brothers and sisters that made our tour an adventurous,impactful and funfilled one... The great reception accorded to us within the different communities goes a long way in energising us to do more for Ali Ndoki. Time will fail me to thank each and every one of you individually, it is our prayerful desire that God Almighty in his infinite grace and mercy bless and replenish you all in hundred folds. Nmanma!
