isese is a yoruba word and the culture peculiar to the yoruba people, hence the word "isese". Is yam peculiar to the ibos?
Iri ji is the right word for the festival... New yam festival is just a translation for non-igbos... Your ignorance is forgiven

Nwokem if you want to learn igbo you ask the full blooded igbos in the house (the translation of new yam festival in igbo is ISI KOTE EVU OGBAKASIA YA

There is. It is called iri Ji ofu.

It is interpreted in English, so that other cultures can know and partake, if they choose.

Our culture is our way of life....we are a people of peace and progress but some people felt they need to always use propaganda on a place they know nothing about while Thier own place is been ravaged and taken over by the janjaweedd from north Africa even to the extent of baning them from observing Thier cultural celebration and ancestral worship and yet na east be Thier problem.

New Yam Festival is called "iri ji ohu" in Igbo dialect. In Igbo land it is known as Iri Ji festival.


Yam is called "Ji" in Igbo.

Why are you ashamed to call it iri ji?, it has always been called yam, even on official letter heads from Governor's office. And why is yam part of your culture?, na una get am?

We call it iri ji.

Letter heads from governors offices are usually in English language, so iri ji is translated
