The dance and movements of the womanhood Celebration
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Egeribite and Bibite womanhood celebration is a significant cultural event among the Ibani Ijaw people of Rivers State. It marks the transition of young girls into womanhood and is a rite of passage filled with cultural rituals, dances, and communal festivities. During this celebration, the community gathers to honor and celebrate the maturity of these young women, emphasizing their roles and responsibilities in the society. The event reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Ibani Ijaw people and serves as a symbol of unity it brings families, friends and we'll wishers together during the two days celebrations.
Day one is usually done at her Father's house, it is so because her father was supposed to be the first to inducted her into the womanhood (Egeribite). Day two takes place at her husband's house which is to fully induct her into the womanhood proper. At this stage she is allowed to tie some set of wrappers as a full grown woman and has passed all the rites. The unique dance steps and movements during this celebration is special. |
