About the Ofala

Rooted in deep spirituality, the Ofala   is an occasion for  the monarch to fulfill certain obligations. It  is primarily  a celebration by the monarch and his subjects of the monarch’s annual emergence from seclusion, during which period the monarch has successfully negotiated the fortunes of the kingdom. The Ofala is also a reenactment of the joy which the monarch shared with his subjects, at the discovery that yam is non-toxic, and a valuable source of food.
