Hello everyone your welcome to my blog today it's your favorite girl @betheloji12.
Traditions, customs and rituals are peculiar to different tribes and ethnic groups there are a lot of things that so many people do in their culture that means a lot to them so much so that they won't want to miss it anything even when they are far away from home they always long to come back to there home town to partake in their traditions. Traditions are things that differentiate people and make them different from others .
And this brings us to this week's prompt Which is (A TRADITION OR RITUAL THAT MEANS ALOT TO ME ) . The highlight of a tradition that means alot to me is always during the ending of the year , during the festivities alot of my friends and families return to the village to reunited with their loved ones and recreate our traditions and family rituals of drinking palm wine and eating ugba together. Most traditions do ire ji festival (new yam festival ) and other masquerade parades. But we don't have that in my place .
But we do have our annual football games that happens from 25th to 2nd of January. And here alot of teams play against each other from the same village the women play ,the men play and the young boys play too it's always a very nice experience. And I go to watch this football match with my friends and cousin and we walk a long distance to get there chattering and laughing and we don't even feel the distance because we are many . The match always last from 4pm to 6pm, when we get there we stand to watch the match because what's the fun if you sit down 🤣 and after that when the match ends we all sit down to relax and have some drinks and roasted pork meat to step it down and then we return home.
On the final day of the match we carry the cup home with any teams that wins and dance around with them till late then we return home all happy and fulfilled. And await another festival season to reconnect and make merry. This is my best tradition and ritual that means a lot to me.
