Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za [Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za] is an upcoming Eʋe international festival that would be celebrated by Eʋes in the four original Eʋe countries (Ghana Voltarians, Togo-Eʋes, the Fon people of Benin, the Badagry and other Eʋe people of Western Nigeria). In addition, it would be celebrated by all Eʋe people at the various diasporas in the world.
The Festival is aimed at uniting all Eʋes all over the world irrespective of those slight diversities. Uniting All Eʋes towards unity, love and togetherness towards the developmental building of Eʋenyigba is the core aim of this upcoming festival through 1-UNITED VOLTARIANS-EƲES.
Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za [Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za] is not coming to replace any of our prominent Eʋe festivals but rather serve as an additional festival aimed at Uniting all Eʋes.
ORIGIN & IDEA GENERATION:
Somewhere 2020, a group of individuals with a similar ideology of uniting Voltarians decided to create a common festival for all Voltarians. The founder (Della Komla) of One Volta Institute invited those individuals under one umbrella for further brainstorming towards the organization of that proposed festival by the individual likeminds. The founder (NuwɔZã-GaBBie D'1st) of 1-UNITED VOLTARIANS-EƲES was also part of the team of individuals with the original like minds towards the organization of that common festival.
Other key individual members of that team were: Mr. Oscar Dansoe, Mr. Alfred Agbemehia, Dr. Paul Paul Mensah and other 3 vibrant Eʋe ladies. The proposed name of the initial festival was 1Volta Festival before NuwɔZã-GaBBie (of 1-UNITED VOLTARIANS) proposed a change of name to Volta-Za (aka Dekawɔwɔ-Za) which was gladly accepted cos it goes with the aim of the proposed festival. Preparations was put in place. Meetings were held with some prominent Eʋe folks, Some chiefs got involved but unfortunately, at the end of the day, preparations towards the Proposed Volta-Za was put to halt due to financial limitations and other forms of obstacles.
1-UNITED VOLTARIANS-EƲES decided to do everything possible to continue with the proposed festival ideology of creating the unity festival idea hence the initiation of 'Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za' aka [Eʋe-Za, Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za]. One major difference between Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za and Volta-Za is that, whiles Volta-Za is concentrated on unity among only Voltarians, Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za is aiming to Unite all Eʋes originating from the 4 Eʋenyigba countries.
PREPARATION TOWARDS EƲE-DEKAWƆWƆ-ZA aka [Eʋe-Za, Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za]:
The initiation of this upcoming festival called Eʋe-ɖekawɔwɔ-Zã) will be an addition to all the other Voltarian and Eʋe festivals on Eʋenyigba. The idea is to remember the things, histories and cultures that binds all Eʋes together irrespective of the slight diversities among us and our different geographical locations and boundaries. We want to unite all Eʋes towards the building of Eʋedukɔ.
This upcoming festival would take effect in the upcoming 2025 year. This is to enable the organizers gain more time to prepare adequately towards it and make it a success.
It would be an annual festival to be celebrated once every year.
Contacts are being made, Some chiefs have been contacted and all other forms of preparations are ongoing to make Eʋe-Dekawɔwɔ-Za [Eʋe-Za, Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za] come to reality and we will soon be calling on you and all other Eʋes to join us make this festival a reality.
Look out for EƲE-ĐEKAWƆWƆ-ZA aka [Eʋe-Za, Eʋedukɔ-Za, Eʋeawoƒe-Za, Aƒe-Za] being initiated and organized by 1-UNITED VOLTARIANS.
