Since when is it "crying" to state mere facts, as unflattering to some as they may be? And I'm glad you've now dropped the pretense that you're Yoruba and can speak on our behalf; this in itself reveals you as the shameless hypocrite you are, as I would never have bothered to comment on this thread if you had't attempted to insult Yoruba people under false pretenses. The only one truly guilty of "tribalism" here is you, for daring to make ridiculous generations about Yorubas in order to puff yourself up with false pride.

The Igbo Union in Finland, the umbrella body of all the Igbo speaking people of Nigeria resident in Finland  celebrated their annual new yam festival "Emume Iwa Ji" on Saturday 25th, August 2018.


The union which is a registered Non Governmental Cultural Organization comprises of Nzuko Umunna Ndi-Igbo in Finland (Imo & Abia), Enugu Progressive Union in Finland and the Anambra State Association, Finland.


In Nigeria, the annual cultural festival by the Igbo people held at the end of the rainy season in early August symbolizes the conclusion of a harvest and the beginning of the next farming season. The celebration is a very culturally based occasion, tying individual Igbo communities together as essentially agrarian and dependent on yam.

This year's festival was attended by a large number of Ndigbo from all parts of Finland. The opening prayer was done by the chairman of the occassion, HRH Prince Idiagboff  who also spoke extensively on the agricultural growth and exploits in the eastern part of Nigeria, most especially in the area of yam production. The "iri ji"( New yam eating" festival which was filled with pomp and pageantry was anchored by veteran journalist, Chief Ike Chime.


The incumbent chairman of Igbo Union in Finland, Chief Barrister Simon Ekpa, in his speech, emphasized the importance of culture in nation building. He said " culture is the total way of life, through culture we are govern by norms and customs which are the pillars of any society.


According to the Igbo Union chairman, this year's festival is targeted at promoting multiculturalism within the Finnish society. He also sent a strong message to the Federal Government of Nigeria over the killings and continuous marginalization of Ndigbo in Nigeria. In conclusion, he urged Igbo governors and leaders to speak up against the marginalization of the Igbos and the genocide that is been perpetrated by the present government.


The climax of the event was the cultural dance display by various member associations that make up the Igbo Union in Finland. Also, the traditional chief's and elders danced majestically to the Igbo cultural music while the ladies added added icing on the cake with their glamourous dancing steps.

No, I "never reach Ghana", but I've managed to reach America, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and Thailand in the meantime, so yes, I think I'm more than entitled to brag. I'm not a desperate bush rat who thinks of countries like Ghana as representing some sort of paradise, and I didn't go to any of those countries to "hustle", or to engage in packing "containers" full of second-hand goods, and you will never see people like me in the "Crime" section of this website bringing disgrace upon Nigeria; we leave that sort of thing to you and your ilk.

Congrats.

Igbo in Finland - of all places.

While you can hardly find Nigeria's Hausa/Fulani even in Togo, but now find more and more Hausa/Fulani aplenty in all nooks and crannies of Igboland.

Is this not gradual dislocation of a tribe?

Something is fishy.

Igbos, rise and reclaim the land of our ancestors.
