📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article

The Iria ceremony is a festival celebrated by the Ijaw ethnic group in Rivers State, Nigeria. It is a significant cultural event that marks the transition of a woman from one stage of womanhood to another within the Ijaw community. The festival is primarily observed in the Ibani kingdoms located in the Bonny and Opobo-Nkoro Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
