Top 10 IGEDE AGBA Songs ever Recorded
We are delighted in igedeonline.com to bring you top 10 songs about Igede Agba. First of all what is “Igede Agba”? Most of you (that are not Igede by tribe), must have come across the phrase “Igede Agba” or hear about it one way or another. But for those of you who haven’t really heard about it, or have heard it but don’t know what it is, let’s quickly use this medium to acquaint you with what Igede Agba entails.
Igede Agba was started in 1957 by great Igede elites, and it’s a day set aside to celebrate the Igede people of Benue State Nigeria. Igede is a name of the son of Agba and Agba is a son of Eran Ekpen from Ora kingdom in Edo State Nigeria. The tribe migrated from Ora kingdom to the present Igede land due to an unresolvable conflict that degenerated to war between them and the Ora people. After settling down, they set a day for remembering their freedom. So, if you say Igede Agba is like the October 1st Celebration in Nigeria, you are correct. Yam is Igede’s chief crop, it is therefore the food used to celebrate this festival. So, those who have misconception about what Igede Agba celebration is all about, can read this article; “How Igede Agba Celebration Started in 1957”. Igede Agba is a celebration of Igede’s freedom and it’s identity.
So, many entertainers from the tribe have sang different songs about the festival. The first one that was done, came from award winning Mr Yukay (formerly Befelow Uk).
