📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Igede Agba is an annual New Yam festival celebrated by the Igede people of Oju and Obi Local Government Areas in Benue State, Nigeria. The festival, celebrated in cycles, takes place on the first “Ihigile market day” of September—recognized in the Igede calendar as the seventh moon, “Oya,” a number imbued with deep spiritual significance. The festival serves as a thanksgiving ceremony to Ohe Oluhye (Sky-God) and Ohe Oleji (Earth-god) for a successful harvest and as a prayer for abundance in the coming planting season.
