Between Christmas and the New Year… Benin does not just celebrate, Benin renews power. Centuries ago, a sacred tradition was born in the Benin Kingdom, a tradition older than many nations, still alive today. It is called Igue Festival. Established during the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great. This is not just culture. This is history still breathing. This is Benin. 👉 If this story moved you, like, share, and follow to keep our culture alive. 💬 Drop “Iselogbe” in the comments if you’re proud of Ben

I attended this year's Igue festival, an annual celebration in Umunede marking the beginning of the planting season, I am deeply rooted in my heritage, and this festival which showcases the beautiful Anioma culture, is one of such events that I take pride in. As promised to the people, I look forward to being part of it again next year. | Senator Prince Ned Nwoko
