The Ofo stick, also Ofor Stick, is one of the very important elements of the Igbo culture. It represents justice, purity, innocence, sincerity, fairness, and spirituality. The Ofor stick is a stick of the Osisi Ofo (Ofo tree), while Ofor, as an Igbo word, means justice, innocence, fairness etc. The Ofor stick is a symbolic or material representation of these values in the Igbo worldview.
The symbolic implications of the Ofo stick are such that it is an infusion and representation of these core aspects of the Igbo culture. Whoever holds the Ofo is expected to exude those qualities worthy of wielding the Ofor stick. It is crucial, and we understand that institutions seeking to learn about Igbo traditions may be interested in the Ofo Stick.
Who uses the Ofo stick?
In AlaIgbo, given the values we have spoken of regarding the Ofor stick, it is appropriate to ensure a clear conscience, a sense of justice and responsibility before wielding the Ofor stick. Usually, these values of intelligence, justice, and sincerity are expected of leaders and traditional title holders. In AlaIgbo, several traditional Igbo leaders or rulers are worthy of wielding the Ofor stick. Older adults (eldest men and women) in several parts of Igboland can also use the Ofor stick.
The Ofor stick goes beyond leadership responsibility. It can also be wielded sparingly by regular people; however, it needs to be wielded with a sense of responsibility, sincerity and justice. Bearing false witnesses or habouring evil thought or harm against another or object while wielding the ofor stick may incur implications which is not within the scope of this store to delve into. Our best suggestion is that if you want to use the Ofor stick, try to honor it as much as possible.

Our distribution of the ofo stick may not exactly fall into the categories of its traditional usage in AlaIgbo. We believe that it could have other uses in other cultures.

Igbos especially those born in other climes who wish to identify with the culture, could still find the symbolic stick useful.
