Celebration of the time and arrival of Eri, the progenitor of Igbo race through Omambala river into Igboland.

Eri is not progenitor of Igbo race. He was an Igala medicine man accomodated by Igbos. Igbos or Gbos are the origin of mankind and come from nowhere.

Useless old man, Eri is the progenitor of the Igbo race. Imo state people are slaves to Eri as shown in the pictures. Anyone that want to rule Imo state must pay homage to Eri Kingdom.

Eri king celebrates Eri Festival...

The Eri festival / Olili-Obibia-Eri is an Ancient festival celebrated by Eri Kings.

This remarkable festival has been observed from the ancient times on the 8th native/Igbo month of the year, onwa-isato, in memory of Eri’s journey and subsequent settlement in Igbo land.

His Majesty, Eze Chukwuemeka Eri (Ezeora 34th/Eze Aka Ji Ofo Igbo) host the 2017 Eri Festival as African American's with Igbo ancestry arrive Nigeria to participate in this ancient Igbo festival.

I was even going to take this seriously until I saw the Jewish star of David on those atire. angry

This appropriation of an alien culture is shameful and we had better not pass on this fraud to our next generation. It embarrasses me everytime I see any efulefu parading Israel flag around.

This is my favorite Igbo festival.

It is celebrated every year to commemorate the arrival of Eri, the descendant of Gad, Son of Jacob to Nri, Holy City Ndi Igbo.

The ancient dwelling place of Eri is eternally preserved for posterity at the Palace of the Descendant of Heaven, known as 'Obi Gad'.

Eze Nri is a Priest-King. He is believed to be a descendant of Heaven, God's representative on earth. Hence, he is referred to as 'IGWE' (Heavens), though a lot of Igbo Kings have adopted that title.

He is the Custodian of the highest ofor of Ndi Igbo, hence he is known as 'Aka ji Ofor Ndi Igbo' or 'Eze Ora'.

His Kingdom is older than the ancient Benin Empire, Oyo Empire and most kingdoms in Nigeria.

The Royal colour of Eze Nri is White.

Ancient Kings were buried sitting on the Royal Throne.
