Arochuwku Shrine

Arochukwu  is a famous tourist destination in Abia State which also boasts several historical tourist sites.  Notably is the shrine or oracle known as Ibinu Ukpabi or the Long Juju.
What makes this shrine stands out among the other historical sites in Abia State is the role it played in the slave trade era and thus the impact it made in Nigeria’s history. The shrine is about a kilometre long and existed from the 17th century. The cave is believed to hold the long metal pipe through which the gods speak to the people. A traditional religionist would find the oracle quite an attraction. The mystic
Long-Juju shrine, the slave routes and other relics of the slave trade era have become important tourist attractions in Nigeria as a result of what they represent in Nigeria’s history.
