THREE YOUNG VIRGINS INITIATED INTO WOMANHOOD IN RIVERS COMMUNITY

            The people of Ogu kingdom in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of Rivers State celebrated the annual Iria festival, an ancient ceremony aimed at welcoming young female v!rg!ns into womanhood. 

During the ceremony held on Saturday, December 3, 2022, the young girls were given certificates by the elders and chiefs of the town for passing through a test.

According to Niger Delta Insider, to pass through the test, the girls must first be v!rg!ns which will be confirmed by women of the town.

          The young girls are then kept in a room where they will be fed and also groomed before the ceremony.

This ceremony is said to date back to the 17th century.
