Abstract

This study applied the reflective observation method on the video documentary of the customary Oriko- love feast and reunification rites of Ogbakiri to identify segments of the critical customary activities that reconciled and reunited the people of Ogbakiri after a period of four years conflict. A review of the interactions during critical customary activities served to identify particular customary peace revival activities and the performers while the interviews provided the perceptions of the people of Ogbakiri- Wezina concerning their new found peace. The study concludes that the customary Oriko- love feast is a cogent tool of conflict resolution and the enthronement of permanent peace in Ikwerre community or society.
