About Agbani

Greet elders first with a handshake or slight bow. Use titles like 'Chief' or 'Nna' (for men) and 'Nne' (for women) to show respect.

Motorcycles (okada) are a common mode of transport but always negotiate the fare before riding. Tricycles (keke napep) are safer for short distances.

The rainy season (April to October) can make roads muddy and difficult to navigate. Plan travel accordingly.

Meals are often communal. It's polite to wash your hands before eating, and you may be offered a seat of honor if you're a guest.

The town observes the 'Ozo' title system, a prestigious traditional rank. Avoid disrespecting titled individuals or their symbols.

Eat at local eateries (bukas) and use public transportation. Bargaining is expected in markets.

Always ask for permission before photographing people, especially during cultural events or at sacred sites.

Indirect communication is valued. Avoid being overly blunt; politeness and humor go a long way.

Support local artisans and avoid single-use plastics. Respect natural sites by not littering.

For men, the 'Isiagu' (embroidered shirt) with a cap. For women, a 'George' wrapper with a blouse and headscarf.
