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. One tradition state that the festival
date coincided with the marriage of Ewuare to
a wife named Ewere. 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. Naijatory wishes you all ISELOGBE

no human sacrifice o. they don't do that.
it's a form of Thanksgiving that they're able to see the end of the year

There was never a human sacrifice.

I trust the Benin peeps. No human sacrifice during igue festival

So strange. The igue on Benin is not even as serious as it is in Ika land.

Yea, I know it would, but considering they are the rel owners of the festival, I expected more. It's so interesting and entertaining but something is missing. You need to see how it's celebrated in Ika, especially in my hometown, Umunede. Very great culture.
