Ohafia, Administrative district in Abia State, Nigeria.
Ohafia is an administrative district in Abia State in southeastern Nigeria, extending across roughly twenty-six villages. The Amavo central market serves as its main trading hub, where agricultural products and local crafts change hands.
The area originated from settlements of skilled warriors who established a system of independent communities. Each settlement was governed by a traditional leader called the Eze.
The communities practice the ira agha performance tradition, which remains visible in local gatherings and celebrations. This musical heritage continues to shape how people mark important moments in their daily lives.
The area is most easily explored through local markets and craft centers, particularly around Amavo. Travel is best during drier months when road conditions are more favorable.
The Goodluck Jonathan Barracks stands as Nigeria's third largest military complex, housing the headquarters of the 14 Brigade and 145 Battalion. This substantial military presence continues to shape the region's economy and daily life.
