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...
