As Christmas is to Christians and Ramadan is to Muslims so is igue festivals is to the benins..

To know little about this festival

Igue festival is a celebration with its origin in the Benin Empire. It was originally celebrated as a festival to renew Oba Ewuare's magical powers.[1] One tradition state that the festival date coincided with the marriage of Ewuare to a wife named Ewere.[2] Celebrated between Christmas and New Year, the festival includes the Oba's blessing of the land and his people. During the Igue ritual season, the Oba is prohibited from being in the presence of any non-native person.

Edo State government delegation on Monday, visited the Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II to felicitate with the Benin Monarch at the Ugie Ewere ceremony in Benin City.

The Ugie Ewere ceremony, a component of the high profile Igue Festival, is celebrated annually, where the Oba receives the Ewere leaf, which signifies blessing and peace in the Kingdom.

i just love the way Nigerians still honour their culture and history. We don't even know what we have. In many African countries colonialism knocked out all those things.
