Omoawoke: No body said we invented yam I was trying to give you the clown costume you have been begging for Igbos have wonderful yam game I gave you a variety of the Igbo yam Let me add two more varieties to that list We have ji Edele ( yellow yam) we have ji abana( water yam) 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Don see evidence start rubbish we call it ịwa ji , iri ji , iwaji ọhụrụ or iri iji ọhụrụ even before whites came ịwa ji is deeply rooted in our culture we call our Yam bans ỌBÁ. In the past A man is ranked based on how many ŃNÚ ji he has in his ọbá 1 nnu ji is equivalent to 400 tubers of yam you need to have up to narị (100) ńnú ji that's about 40k yams before you're considered an eze-ji in my side which is a title given to someone who breaks that record the fact that you don't know about people's culture because you don't travel doesn't mean they're not there .like I said you're an ignorant isese swine 🐖🐷🐷 Tell me how many varieties of yam you people have tell me Thier names that's how we know who's more grounded in the yam game oga don dey quote oyo kindoom 🤡 Fulani conquered clown telling me about history what monument do you people have ?

[quote author=Pakute post=125335093]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.[/quote It is called Iri Ji |

MEEVEET: Patuke is the stupidest person in this thread and is still making more sense than you. Igbo people have an annoying habit of forcing English into everything and it looks foolish. If you cannot see how much of an insult it is to ourselves, let an outsider come with a mirror. Anyi na e kwu maka omenala I na e kwu maka official language. Even the Oga you're using is Yoruba, but if a Yoruba person comes to tell you, you will be insulted. Meanwhile you will never find an English man calling his own yam Ji, or a Yoruba person calling his Oga his Onyeisi, |

For the record, Ji (yams) were first domesticated by Igbos around 5000 BC |

sharone21:Going by your infantile statement, Igbos came from northeast Africa, are they today Egyptians, Sudanese or camerooians? Who are the modern day onitsha people? History has it that the progenitors of my town came from different places in eastern Nigeria and agreed to settle and form the modern day county in Anambra south. But today what are we? Language,culture, traditions,customs and sociopolitical affiliation. Can you say Americans of today are Indians or Japanese Chinese or Zimbabwean ghanians or even say madagascarns are Indonesians. |
