isese is a yoruba word and the culture peculiar to the yoruba people, hence the word "isese". Is yam peculiar to the ibos?

How is yam Igbo culture? There is no Igbo land without yam... It's a par with kola nut in Igbo tradition

It's the king of crops, Sustainer of life this is what we ate before the white man came oga

Yam is ji... New yam festival is iri ji festival...

Don't mind them, they didn't know they do yam festivals everywhere.

What's our business if you do yam festival? See me see trouble ooh

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

We speak English as official language oga.. We don't force people to speak our language we make it easy for everyone to understand
