Summary
[edit]DescriptionMr and miss leboku 2019 ugep festival, yakurr Cross River State.png |
English: The Leboku New Yam Festival, one of the agro-cultural festivals of Cross River State, Nigeria is a three-week long activity in August celebrated by Ugep community of Yakurr. The festival honors the earth goddess and the bountiful harvest. It's celebrated once in a year. It is a day when boys and Leboku maidens parade the town in a ceremony believed to usher in peace and prosperity. The Yeponfawa follows the Yekpi. This is a ceremony reserved only for initiates of the Libini group, to declare the first phase of the Leboku over. Although this takes place during the night, it is also a day non-initiates stay awake to listen to the songs. After the Yeponfawa, young boys and girls participate in a one-week music and festival through their dance ensembles known as Egbendum (for boys) and Oka (for girls). Other important personalities also normally grace the occasions. |
