While Speaking , Eze Ndigbo  in Ejagamo,  Eze Gerald Njiofor, said “The yam festival is done in remembrance of our ancestors, since they brought their families in this way and it has become a symbol of unity among us.”

While Eze Oriade, Eze  Apollos Chukwukadibia Umenwekwe,   stated that ” the practice is that the festival must be done first at the Palace,  before any members of this Palace   and that we celebrate culture and traditions that our fathers left for us.”            

 Further, Eze Ndigbo, Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA , Eze Valentine,  Ezeugo Anyafebechi,  pointed out that the New Yam festival affords their children the opportunity to understand the festival and culture of the people despite it is being celebrated outside their traditional home.
