The new yams are here. And it is the season of festivals in the farming communities across the country, especially in the southern region.

For the Akoko
people in Ondo State, this is an important festival that draws the sons
and daughters of the community even those residing outside. From Akoko
North-East to Akoko South-West, from Akoko North-West to Akoko
South-East Local Government Areas, the various communities began the
yearly celebration to welcome the new yam in turn early this month at
Ikare Akoko. However, the celebration train moves to a community in
Akoko South West- Okaodo-Iwaro- renowned for its rich Odun Ijesu (new
yam festival) tradition dating back to primordial times.
