The Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, has said the Benin Kingdom will commence the eating of new yam after a palace ceremony on Sept. 30.
This is contained in a statement by Frank Irabor, Secretary, Benin Traditional Council, on Monday.
According to the statement, the indoor ceremony is to usher in the new yam (Emorho) into the Palace.
The Oba’s announcement comes after the conclusion of a two-week fasting/prayers period, which was declared for peace, progress, and to usher in the new yam.
The two-week fasting/prayers commenced on Sept. 15 and ended on Sept. 28.
