What is Ada? Ada is a masquerade, that comprise various sizes big, medium and small. It significant is to exercise spiritual authority over your domain and territories, our fathers in the dark age use it to match round their conquered territories. But that of 1964 did not go down well with our neigbour. It use to be a colorful event as the masquerades match the people will be singing and following the Ada masquerade both male no female, old and young.

Since 1964 there was no such colourful event that attract large crowd as such till 2010 when Chinedu Edozino led Umueri National Youth Forum through it Think-tank introduce the Annual youth-day Rally that is a modern day Nti-Ada ! Since 2010 till date the event has thrive as subsequent administration has maintain the event and communities around us are now emulating the Umueri youth day Rally. In the spiritual realm it's also a sign of exercising our authority over our territory as we normally match from Omambala to Oyi.
