WHAT IS IRI-JI ABOUT?
Yam is the most important food crop in Igboland. Evidence of this is borne by the cultural significance attached to iri ji in Igbo land.
The traditional Igbo society is mainly agrarian. Emphasis is placed on farming and the cultivation of sufficient food to last until the next food harvest. Special emphasis is placed on yam cultivation. The traditional Igbo man takes pride in showing off his yam barn neatly stacked with yam tubers from top to bottom. It signifies wealth and success.
In the days of old, a common question asked by a bride's father when a young man signifies his intention to marry his daughter is "how big is your yam barn"? A big yam barn means the man is hardworking and can take care of his daughter.
The iriji (new yam) festival was described by Odumegwu- Ojukwu (erstwhile Biafran Leader) 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.
The Iriji festival is celebrated at different times within the various Igbo communities, varying from August until October every year.
