Ayam sorry but anytime i dey hear dis so called yam festival dey make me to laugh. But my question is, how is yam part of ibo culture?, did ibos discover yam?, is there no ibo word for yam?, why not use your indigenous language for the festival rather than English.

It is called "iri Ji" festival but for folks like you that don't know the language, they write in English.

I think it is time we stop this hate on each others tribe. I have always known igbos and yorubas to be the closest. But all this are becoming a thing of the past. I am a yoruba man and I married an igbo lady. I have enjoyed her now for almost 9yrs of marriage now. Yorubas and igbos love each other and please don't let politics spoil that love.

There is. It is called iri Ji ofu.

It is interpreted in English, so that other cultures can know and partake, if they choose.
Lots of other cultures celebrate new yam festival. It's not an Igbo thing btw

In Igbo land yam is the king of crop... We celebrate the arrival of new yam ... It's the most important crop in Igbo culture outside kola nut... It was the exclusive reserve for men to farm

New yam is the biggest cultural celebration in Igbo land na

I personally don't eat any new yam until I sacrifice an animal to welcome the new yam ( that was how it was in the old days it was a taboo to eat new yam before u celebrate it)

In Igbo land wealth was measured in yam... In my place we have a society called Eze Ji (king of yam) it's a society of the biggest yam farmers
To join your yam ban must reach a certain number

You don't need all these shalaye explanations to give ewedu Muslim thiefnubuist buffoons like Pakute and ecolime. Na knock you suppose dey give their protruding agbaris.

Why not open your own company. You think it is easy to run a company with numerous staffs in a hostile environment like Nigeria, where you have to pay federal Taxes, levies, sign boards, waste levies, local government, state PIT, business premises levy etc?

Start and your own company and dance to the tune. Then you will know why most Business owners suffer from Cardiac problems and live less longer than Professors.

Such self contain in Onitsha environ is N180-200k + 40k. How many graduates have a paying job of 200k to start with in Nigeria of today.

How many graduates had that opportunity to save 10k par month to start with? Why u no go ur papa house dey sleep and ur capital will fall from heaven?
How much did Federal government (NYSC) Pay you as graduate without accommodation?? E reach 40k?
How much is Nigeria minimum wage without accommodation?? E reach 40k?
We are not even sure you are a graduate because you never disclose that.

May we never meet ungrateful people in our life.

Na una invent yam. 😂

New yam festival is not indigenous to you. Even Yorubas celebrate new yam festival but we don’t call it new yam festival.

We call it Odun Ijesu. Go and find out.
But we never considered it as an indigenous festival when we have several others

Una no get history walahi.
When Yorubas were evolving and having empires, your ancestors were still bush dwellers and living like scavengers
