Omenala di na ala Ohuhu

Iri Ji (New Yam Festival)
In Ohuhu, one of the most respected cultural traditions is the Iri Ji, also known as the New Yam Festival. It is a sacred and symbolic celebration that marks the beginning of the harvest season and the consumption of new yam, which is regarded as the king of crops among the Igbo people.

Meaning in Igbo Context
“Iri Ji” literally means “eating yam”. However, in the cultural sense, it goes beyond eating.

It represents:
•Thanksgiving to God (Chukwu) and the ancestors for a successful farming season
•Purification and renewal of life
•Unity among families, kindreds, and the entire community
•Respect for tradition and agricultural heritage

In Ohuhu land, yam is not eaten until it has been officially blessed and offered during this festival. The first yam is usually presented by traditional rulers or titled elders, after rituals and prayers are performed.
How it is Celebrated in Ohuhu
•Traditional prayers and libations are offered
•The Eze or respected elders break the new yam first
•Cultural dances, masquerades, and music display the richness of Ohuhu heritage
•Families reunite, share meals, and celebrate abundance
•It is a time of peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation

*Reflection
As Ndi Ohuhu, the Iri Ji festival calls for introspection about our cultural values.
1. Do our younger generation understand its meaning beyond celebration and entertainment?
2. How can we ensure that Ohuhu traditions remain strong in a fast-changing world?
And most importantly, are we truly living up to what Ohuhu represents?

There was absolutely no justification to zone Abia APC governorship ticket to Abia Central, APC have never won governorship election in Abia, as a matter of fact, the last 2 governorship candidates were from Abia central.

What happened yesterday is simply a calculated plan to humiliate Hon. Ben for his arrogance, needless confrontations and attacks on supposed opponents, politics is not about noise, your followers can do the noise making but your self coming public every now and then to shout and brag on how APC will take over Abia was unnecessary, why not strategize quitely.

Look at Late Buhari, look at Tinubu, even Otti , do you see them make noise, it is obvious that the APC hierarchies were not happy with his dispositions hence the decision to humble him this way.

Finally, humility pays, there is no where that you will go with arrogance, what happened the Hon. Ben is just like the proverbial Oturukpokpo who kept bragging that whenever her mother d!es, she will use her beak(mouth) to to pull down a big tree, the moment the mother finally died, she has a big boil on her mouth and couldn’t even give one perk on the tree, ya buru uka, buru ilu, again, HUMILITY pays.
