The Oduosa of Umusadege Kingdom, His Royal Highness, Isaac Obi has called on youths particularly in Ndokwa West to embrace their culture.
He made the call yesterday during the community’s celebration of the new yam festival at his palace in Kwale.
HRH Obi said that as the custodian of his people, he was going to organize an enlightenment campaign on the gains of keeping cultural values which he said had created sources of livelihood in the tourism business if properly managed.
He described as unfortunate, a condition where cultural values are neglected and demonized by most Nigerian pastors.
The Oduosa who lamented over the low turn out thanked the Almighty God for the successful celebration.
The new yam festival is celebrated every year to appreciate the Almighty God for good harvest and protection in the community.
Activities lined up were wrestling, football, and cooking competitions. Every quarter of Umusadege is to cook and bring it to the Isuyor ground where the ceremony is taking place.
The best cook is given the sum of one hundred thousand naira while any quarter which fails to participate in the cooking competition will pay a fine of two hundred thousand naira.
All the varieties of food will be served to guests and spectators present on the occasion.
