Igbo New Yam Festival a yearly harvest by the Igbo people in early august at the end of the rainy season. Yams are usually the first crop harvested and a very important crop to the people. All yams from the previous years harvest are eaten or thrown away before the New Yam Festival a symbol of abundance from the new harvest.
The first yam is eaten by the oldest man or the Igwe of the kingdom. With offerings to the ancestors and gods.
Pope Francis came on the world stage and was masterful at pointing out the evil that governments, corporations and rich people do. He touched on hot topics like poverty, war, environment, human and religious rights. Like a rockstar on a world tour he sold out every arena.
Pope Francis directed his tongue lashing at the Conservative wing of the Republican Party so much so the Speaker of the House John Boehner who invited Pope Francis to speak could be seen sobbing in the chambers. He turned in his resignation the next day.
What Pope Francis is also masterful at is throwing stones at the rest of the world while ignoring the massive sex abuse and pedophilia culture in the Catholic Church. The head of the Vatican Government and Vatican Bank, institutions run tighter than any Mafioso. – @OgbeniAyotunde
