Our Cultural Heritage:abiriba Obina Dance Repackaged by GGracegardens(f): 6:03pm On Sep 06, 2013 |
Abiriba is a community in South Eastern State of Nigeria Highlight of Abiriba Iri Ndi (new yam) festival is the annual dance of the maidens from Amanta in Ameke community of Abiriba Kingdom,called Nmaku Eziali maidens.This maidens who are also believed to be Virgins,pure and undefined by any man performs this sacred dance and any maiden who is not a virgin from this clan dare not participate in the dance Athough I cannot categorically tell you the repercussion if such happens. This is the time that the young girls who are now ripe enough for marriage show off their beautiful figures and dancing prowess to young men from Amanta and other prospective husbands from other communities making up the Abiriba Kingdom. There is usually great excitement heralding this dance especially to the young men who sees it as an opportunity to get their brides http://graciousgracegardens./2013/09/06/our-cultural-heritageabiriba-obina-dance-repackaged/
