It's obvious we have thesame cultural preference. Usually, Native name for this new yam festival is Ikeji.
Apart from the other demonstrations as you had rightly deposited, including the dancing and other wonderful exhibition, the most interesting part for me as a kid is that, in this day, all houses would prepare different kinds of soup, most especially ofe nsala, white (soup).
It's this time the pure native love is expressed, you can eat in any home you like. Trust me na, serial eater. I don't joke with such opportunity😂.

Thanks for this your wonderful submision, it just took me way back🤓.
