On Saturday August 17, 2019, all roads will lead to New York, New York, USA. That’s the day Mbaise people around New York City Metropolitan Area  will celebrate their annual festivity of Iri Ji Nde Mbaise.


 

The event will be high octane with dignitaries from all walks of life both in the USA and beyond, along with their friends, families and well wishers  congregating  at the iconic Obi-Igbo Banquet Hall at 191-01 Linden Blvd, Jamaica, NY  to celebrate the New Yam Festival (Iriji) Mbaise  style.

 

In attendance will be  Mbaise sons and daughters resident in the United States and visitors from far and near including Ala-Igbo, Nigeria and other countries. The event will showcase the  traditional kola nut breaking ceremony, mouth watering dinner (including Ji ahụrụ n'ọkụ),  artistic yam barn exhibition and musical extravaganza topped by electrifying Abigbo Dance and enticing  Mbaise Women’s dance display.

 

This year’s  annual celebration is billed to top those before because  Mbaise people are now poised by added vigor to to excel and showcase their leadership skills  in all spheres of life especially with their brother as the newly elected Governor of IMO STATE.
