The Paramount and Traditional Ruler of Ogbunka, a Community in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, is set to host the 2025 edition of the Ogbunka New Yam Festival, also known as Ihejioku. This marks the beginning of the harvest season and is a moment of gratitude to Chukwu (God) and the ancestors for a bountiful harvest.

This cultural and traditional tradition in the ancient community of Ogbunka was made known to media organizations by the Igwe in Council over the weekend.

The New Yam Festival, known as Iri Ji or Iriji Ohuru or Ihejioku in Ogbunka and other parts of Igbo land, is a significant cultural event that reaffirms cultural identity, unity, and community pride. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together, showcase their rich heritage through music, dance, masquerades, and traditional rites, and feast on the first yam harvest ¹.

The 2025 edition of Ihejioku Ogbunka promises to be an exciting event, with various activities planned to promote the unique culture of the Ogbunka community. The festival will feature Traditional Music and Dance, by showcasing of the community’s rich musical and dance heritage; Masquerade Displays, a colorful display of masquerades, an integral part of Igbo cultural festivals; cultural performances, being celebration of the community’s history and traditions through performances; and feasting on the first yam harvest, representing time for the community to come together and share in the bounty of the harvest.

The Traditional Ruler of Ogbunka, His Royal Highness, Igwe Johmark Anyaoha, has extended a warm invitation to the good people of Anambra State, Orumba North and South, and all lovers of culture and tradition to join in the celebration. This is an opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Igbo people and to build new relationships.
