IWA JI IN EXILE, Written by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.

At the town of Iduu na Óba ,when they beckon on Vulture to break Cola ,He said "Ndi Okenye anwusina ,ka Umuazi hapu iri Udene kpó ya Anu "( Let elders not go into extinction,to avoid children eating Vulture as edible meat ).

First he is trying to preserve self , but the truth is that Udene is sacred ,and never to be consumed as edible.

Celebrating New Yam Festival is a memorable occasion in Igbo land ,but since we allowed this Unknown G Men to dominate our farm land and bushes,chase us away into exiles, originally we pretend it was Fulani Herdsmen that was turning our bush to danger zone ,but history tells us that our children are the predators,now it has grown to having informants in each family. They have turned our Foes into our Normal and even some mothers helps to promote and project,but I digress.

The worst is that what we call Yahoo plus are Kidnapping gangs,the Yahoo  we call them is just Euphemism to launder the Demon they unleash.

These are Young boys who use meat cleaver and dissect anatomies and sale them like Cow meat to users and eaters, just to answer Odogwu,we allowed it to flourish because we have accepted Politics of retards.

We no longer plant Yam ,or even Casava,we use to have UGU as aboriginal vegetables but now for fears of Umuazi Kidnapers masked as Yahoo plus,we no longer farm , Prices of food items are cheaper in Lagos than in the East and we think we are enjoying,what we are breeding is Super woes for Future and óga eme anyi thirty.

The worst is that we have IWA JI in exile, whereas we don't even have Yam planted by us ,we use Yam imported from Ugwu Awusa to break Yam, then our brothers in exile uses any Yam they can get and we call it IWA JI , right?

That's devastation and desecration of omenani,what we do is no longer tradition but merely waste of Food stuff and turning culture upside down .

If there should be IWA JI ,it must be the one cultivated in our Farm , óbûrûgodi Ji abi or ji abana,it must be Yam we planted na Alaigbo and not Ji Awusa .

Dear,we should stop this anormalies we celebrate,as our Children are watching,soon they will take over and they may even use Potatoes to replace the age long tradition.

If we truly want a thriving iwa ji,we should sponsor home base farmers to plant Yam in our soil and then anyi Egwue ya ,Welu waa ji and not buying Yam amaró the source and mask it as iwa ji,that one is Isi ji (Cooking of Yam ) it doesn't need festivities to eat it .

We have buried so many things,let's not bury iwa ji as well ,even as WhatsApp group have replaced meeting Umunna and all other physical meetings that makes us great ,it make us to always see one another at interval ,but with the WhatsApp group,we now go for years without bonding,that may be the effect of iwa ji and Ikwa ózú soon,we have accepted Igba Nkwu in exile,we forget na Nwa nza na ere Aka na Ókpa,osi na ya na aha nmanu.

Dibia ónu ike is my job and Mkpisi is my duties,make whatever you want with it.
