The amiable Omu of Obior community in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, HRH Omu Onyebuchibe Okonkwo has dazzled her people and guests as she celebrated her annual new yam festival in grand-style.
Omu Okonkwo on Thursday 26th September, 2024, gathered who is who in Anioma, including her Traditional Ruler, HRM Obi Kingsley Ofuokwu 11, Chief Baje of Idumuje-Unor and many others to join her to celebrate.
She especially appreciated God and her Ancestors for the gift of life and productive land of Obior that has brought forth bountiful harvest of farm produce for the year.
The Omu prayed for continual peace on Obior land, the unity of her people and more progress in the years to come.
It was an exceptional new yam festival as the people were sumptuously entertained with good food and enough to drink. The traditional music, accompanied by the flutes (Akpele) of Emeka of Obomkpa and Dike of Issele-Uku was not left out as the Omu and her well wishers danced gracefully to the admiration of all that stood to watch.
