What you need to know about Okpu agu.
Do you know that the tail and positioning of Igbo hat have lots of meanings?
Are you aware that okpu agụ (leopard hat) is older than okpu ọkụ/okpu ọzọ (red hat)?
Now, pay attention start wearing our okpu agụ properly.
When the hat's tail is positioned backward it signifies danger,unhappy situation, backwardness in life.
And when positioned backwards withithout eagle🦅 feather, it signifies sorrow, burial or condolence.
Okpu agụ signifies the act of bravery in general.
When the hat's tail is positioned forward, it signifies good omen. It indicates that you are making progress in life.
And when positioned forward without eagle🦅 feather,it signifies war, warrior or brave man.
When the hat's tail is positioned right side with eagle 🦅 feather, it signifies merriment, jubilation, peace and joyful parties.
Left side without 🦅 eagle feather is for Dialogue, settlement, Accord ceremony or meetings.
My Nkwerre people of Imo state do not joke with okpu agu.
