“When culture is lost, every other thing is lost.”
The new yam festival ushers in orderliness in the community and sustains the beautiful bond between the people and their ancestors.
Iri ji ceremony can rightly be said to be the most prominent traditional festival of our people.
I’m extremely happy to join the good people of Umudim in Ikeduru LGA to celebrate this wonderful day and witness how dearly they hold this ceremony so close to their hearts, especially as it signals the beginning of harvest and consumption of “the chief crop” in the community.
Thank you to the Traditional Ruler HRH Eze Hygenus Ebirim and the wonderful people of Umudim for being a great host.
