Its origin dates back to over five centuries and it is acclaimed as the biggest pan-Igbo cultural community festival with strong heritage, international recognition and is witnessed by thousands of people on a yearly basis. It is arguably the biggest cultural festival in Igboland. In contemporary times, each passing year has witnessed an increase in grandeur, display, dance, sophistication and an all-inclusive participation of all Arondizuogu people and friends. The festival is marked with colourful display of different masquerades such as Ogionu, Mgbadike, Nwaaburuja and Ozoebune; prestigiously parading across the market square to the admiration of the public. The essence of the festival, which ranks among the best surviving traditional ceremonies of the Arondizuogu people, is to celebrate the harvest of the first yams. It serves to unify and foster ties among Aro people who are spread across the entire Igbo speaking states and part of Cross River state. It appeals to the entire Igbo speaking peoples both at home and in the Diaspora.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> Ikeji is a four-day festival of propitiation, thanksgiving and feasting which is held annually in March or April.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> Reckoned with the Igbo calendar, these four days correspond to one Igbo week of four market days (Eke, Oye/Orie, Afo and Nkwo). Each of these days has a special significance and represents one of the several dimensions of Ikeji – a festival renowned for sumptuous feasting, fascinating masquerades, pulsating rhythms, and colourful performances. Traditional musical instruments used to accompany the masquerades are ekwe (wooden slit drum) of various sizes, ogene (metal gong), bells, maracas and oja (wooden flutes). The flutist is a very important element in the ikeji festival. He deftly communicates with the masquerades - weaving soulful melodies and blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums. Another interesting aspect of ikeji is the raconteur known as ima mbem - an imaginative tale delivered with a musical cadence that only the initiated can sometimes understand or comprehend. The importance of the flutist during Ikeji festival is very vital, for he communicates things hidden from the ordinary eyes to the masquerades, combined with soulful melodies, steps and gestures, “blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums” to the admiration of the crowd. During Ikeji festival, on the last day, a ram is usually tied to a pole at a popular market square with a single <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://threadsappreview.com/">threads</a>. Somebody with the strongest protection from any juju of whatever type is expected to leisurely walk to the ram amidst heavy attempt with juju from other people to knock him down, maim him or kill him. Only the brave can participate in, while the not so brave will either abstain from or remain with the crowd as spectators. Only the brave can stand forward from the crowd, one after another and approach the tree with a view to untying the ram. However, each contender will be attacked by forces which are beyond the scope of this article to explain, with a view to stopping him reaching the ram. If overwhelmed, he will beat a retreat back to his starting point. Until eventually, the bravest among the masquerades participating in the competition for that year's festival, after overcoming all odds, will reach the ram and untie it and take it, to a thunderous applause by the spectators. This will be followed by visits to his house by fellow kinsmen with food and wine for elevating the status of his village. Each year this is used to commemorate the person in Arondizuogu and neighbouring towns with the strongest juju or voodoo power. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Calabar_Carnival">Calabar Carnival</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_festivals_in_Nigeria&action=edit&section=32" title="Edit section: Calabar Carnival">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Calabar_Carnival" title="Calabar Carnival">Calabar Carnival</a></div> The <a href="/wiki/Calabar_Carnival" title="Calabar Carnival">Calabar Carnival</a> has been held in <a href="/wiki/Calabar" title="Calabar">Calabar</a> since 2006, including band competitions, a parade, food and dancing.

The Port Harcourt Carnival bears a certain uniqueness as it combines two carnivals - a purely cultural carnival and a contemporary Caribbean style carnival- in one. This gives it an edge over all other regional and continental carnivals, and presents with the principal advantage which must be consummately exploited. The <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Rivers_State" title="Government of Rivers State">Government of Rivers State</a> recognizes Carniriv as its biggest tourism export.

The adjustment was made with the aim of facilitating greater participation in the annual event by citizens of Nibo, especially those living abroad in the diaspora. The carnival kicks off with a vibrant street parade featuring youths dressed in colorful costumes, along with a tantalizing array of street food and an evening music festival on December 23. Then, on the evening of December 24th, carnival-goers gather for a "Tales by Moonlight" symposium that delves into the rich history of the Igbo people, emphasizing the significance of cultural heritage. This gathering also includes an indulgent all-you-can-eat buffet. The grand finale of the carnival is marked by the Ada Nibo beauty pageant competition<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> which aims to select the next female child ambassador.
