ICSN Iri-ji Festival 2010 Hot

TEST The Iri-ji (New Yam) festival has been described as the “culmination of a work cycle and the beginning of another.” It is a time of thanksgiving to God for making the farm yields possible and praying for good yields next planting season.

It is one of the most significant festivals amongst the Igbo tribe in Nigeria and is celebrated in all corners of the globe. On Saturday 16th October The Igbo Cultural Support Network (ICSN) cordially invites you to join in our Iri-Ji Festival celebrations as we mark Nigeria turning 50

delicacies such as isi-ewu and Abacha

- An auction to win return tickets kindly donated to us by Arik Air
