2. SHARO/SHADI FESTIVAL Each participant is flogged by another and they are expected to endure the pain for as long as the exercise lasts, to demonstrate and prove their manhood. However, not all the young men are able to endure the excruciating pain; which at times leaves permanent scars on their bodies. Those who do endure to the end are certified mature and free to choose a girl to marry. ..............This is the most interesting of all,i just pity who will be the last man standing.all becos of one woman,someone you don't know from Adam.if i am to am to aparticipatr in dis kind of festiva,only God knows people will will go home or rather leave the stage becos of me. |

What's all these New yam Festival is not only Igbo. It may not be only Igbo but it is fiercely promoted and celebrated by Igbo people all over Nigeria and the World. Call New Yam Festival in Nigeria and people will point at Igbos. Goggle New Yam Festival and it will take you back to Igbo culture. The Yam crop is a sacred crop in Igboland and Igbo people don't play with this festival. . If you want to be noticed,promote your own version. I don't get the excessive attack on anything that is related to igbo. New yam festival is synonymous with Igbos,period! P.s Igbos in London will celebrate the New Yam Festival in October. You are all welcome! 3 Likes |
