August, in Igboland is glorious..both male and female look on for it. Women on the other hand see it as a time to stop,discuss and plan in relation to thier personal and communal progress. This is greeted with several meetings amongst their peers in the community. Igbo's see august break as when the women go on such progressive meetings over a stipulated period of time while the men sit home and assume the wife's duties.

August break is most significant in the eastern part of Nigeria. When the rainy reason is halted over this period. humidity is lowest which means less disease outbreaks most accompanied by the rainy season. August break also has the most cloudy weather of the year which means women can go about thier meetings in peace

For the men, August break is when they recover lost times with their children brought about by their mother's absence.

The nigeria judiciary carefully placed their vacation period within this period to allow both male and female to go about august responsibilities as stated above. Businesses give special breaks to employee on request vacation periods during this period.

Am no writer but the significance of august meetings fascinates me and how everything plays itself in tune with this period is amazing...happy august everyone
