New Yam: A phenomenal festival in Igboland

IGBO land is now agog with celebration of the age-long new yam (Iri ji) or Onwa Asaa (seventh month) festival. The festival is, however, known by several names including Iri ji, Onwa Asaa, Iwa Ji or Orurueshi, among others, in various communities across Igbo land. 

Although little documentary evidence exists about  the origin of the festival, it has since remained the people’s custom and tradition. The impressive glamour attached to new yam ceremonies attracts indigenes of various communities, including those in the Diaspora, their friends and well-wishers. 

There is no specific date for the celebration of this Igbo festival but most communities hold the festival at the beginning of each harvest season to thank the gods for bountiful harvests, especially yam. In some Igbo communities, yam is regarded as the queen or chief crop, hence it is a taboo for anyone to sit on it. 

The dates differ from one area to the other. In some agricultural communities, new yam festivals are held to herald the formal eating of new yams, hence it is called new yam festival. Some Igbo elders do not eat new yam except after the formal yearly iri ji  festivals. Those who celebrate Onwa Asaa do so to thank the god of their forefathers for keeping them alive to eat another new yam.
