Emekuku, is a town in Owerri North Local Government of Imo state in South-Eastern Nigeria.[citation needed]

There are two great rivers in Emekuku: Okitankwo and Oramuru-ukwa. Emekuku people belong to a group of people generally referred to as 'Owerre people' sharing the same tonal dialect and similar cultures with this larger group.[citation needed] Nkwo Emeke is the biggest market in Emekuku land and trading activities peak on Nkwo days (Igbo calendar).[citation needed] Orie Nwinyi Emeke is another important market in Azara Egbelu one of the ten villages (Azaraegbelu, Azaraowalla, Akalovo, Ezeogba, Ezedibia, Uboegebelu, Ubowalla, Umuakuru, Umuocham, and Okwuemeke), that make up the town. The most important festival in Emekuku town is called 'Ugu Uzo' Emeke.[citation needed] It is usually celebrated in the month of November of every year. Its celebration date is usually determined by the custodians of the tradition from Ezedibia village and communicated to a group of elders from the town known as 'Ndi Oha Emeke'. It is a celebration which starts with the clearing of the paths to each constituent community's stream and peaks with merry making, feasting and the chanting of an ancient song known as 'Nwa Uri ala'.[citation needed]

Emekuku shares boundary with the autonomous communities of Emii, Mbaoma, Awaka, Ihitta Ogada, and Enyiogugu Mbaise. [1]

One of the interesting festivals from Emekuku village is called the Uguzo festival. The festival is a three-week period of peace and festivities preceding the planting season.
