ABOUT NGMAYEM

Ngmayem is a harvest festival deeply rooted in Dangme culture and tradition. Its name is commonly understood as “Eating Millet” in Dangme:

• Ngma — Millet
• Yemi — Eating or consuming

Celebrated annually around Odumase-Krobo in the Eastern Region of Ghana, Ngmayem is an important occasion for thanksgiving, cultural renewal and unity.

The festival was established in 1944 under the leadership of Paramount Chief Nɛnɛ Azu Mate Kole, replacing an earlier celebration known as Hiɛyemi (Yereyeli), meaning “Eating of Yam.”

The official numbering follows the origins of the earlier tradition in 1893, making the 2026 celebration the 133rd Ngmayem Festival.

Ngmayem provides an opportunity for the people to give thanks to the Creator, honour their ancestral heritage and celebrate the harvest, food security, protection and blessings of life.

Through traditional rites, cultural performances and communal celebrations, the festival strengthens the bonds between generations and ensures that the traditions of Manya Klo (Krobo) continue to thrive.

Long live Manya Klo!

Long live Dangme culture and heritage!

Oklibone!
