Live at Utese where the indigenes Celebrate 🎉 with the King 👑 ….along side with HRH ỌBA OluogbeII the Olú- Àwúrẹ́ of Usẹn ❤️❤️
*BRIEF HISTORY OF UTESE NEW YAM FESTIVAL*
Utese is an ancient bilingual town in Ovia North-East LGA, Edo State. History says it was founded by Irado, one of the brothers of Ọ̀rànmiyan, when he was on his way from Ilẹ-Ifẹ to Benin in the 12th century. He stopped over in Utese and was crowned the 1st IRADO OLUTESE .
The *New Yam Festival* is one of their most sacred traditions. Yam is regarded as the King of Crops. It is taboo to eat new Yam 🍠 before OLUTESE performs the rites.
The festival is a day of thanksgiving to God, the gods of the land, and the ancestors for a bountiful harvest and for food security. It starts early morning with dancing, acrobatic displays by youths, and OLUTESE with his Ojoye moving from shrine to shrine with elders, men, women, children to offer prayers and sacrifices.
On that day, old yams from previous harvest are discarded, and the new yam is blessed and declared fit for eating. Sons and daughters of Utese at home and in diaspora return home to celebrate, promote unity, and renew their bond with the land.
Under the current OLUTESE , *HRM Idahosa Agidigbi I*, the festival has been revived and celebrated with more glamour as a symbol of cultural preservation.
Long live HRM Olutese of Utese
Long live Utese kingdom. – at Edo, Nigeria

UTESE NEW YAM FESTIVAL 2026 Edition
Tradition and culture must be observed.
Thank Got for a bountiful harvest. – at Edo, Nigeria
From next week we'll be delving into the history and people of Akoko-Edo and some there connections with the rest of Yorùbáland.
Some Yorùbá have been Edonised or have gone through Acculturation of Ẹdo/Benin customs and traditions while some Ẹdo peoples have been influenced by Yorùbá cultural mores.
These are the themes we'll treat;
-Yorùbánised Ẹdo people
-Ẹdonised Yorùbá people
Stay tuned @sleekyneeny @TYF_DeltaEdo
