Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The New Yam festival is celebrated by the Igbo people at the end of rainy season in the early part of August. The "Iwa ji festival" or "new-yam eating" is usuallly done in West Africa particularly Ghana and Nigeria.

Sept 18 2009, in Asaba, but usually held in the beginning of August.
... this event already happened? or are you talking about a different yam festival?
