The Onitsha Ado New Yam Festival Masquerade

Onitsha Ado Masquerade entertaining people during 2021 new yam festival Among the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, West Africa, it is obvious that the most cherished and respected crop is the yam. While giving credence to the Igbo preference of the yam crop, Chinua Achebe, in his most revered novel, ‘Things Fall Apart’, described yam as the king of all crops. The culture of yam cultivation and preservation is an age-long attribute of the ‘Igbos’ which has successfully travelled from the time of our ancestors down to this day. The New Yam Festival popularly known as Iwa ji, Iri ji, Ike ji, or Otute (depending on dialect) is an annual cultural festival by the Igbo people usually held at the end of the rainy season in early August to October every year. It is one of the traditional and cultural festivities Igbo people do not play with. Without performing this festival as individuals or in groups, no full-fledged or matured man eats new yam in Igbo land. ‪@onitshaadovoice5439‬ ‪@onitsha-archdiocese‬ ‪@OnitshaAdoCenter‬
