Dulcie Dixon

Available for over a year

We’ve had the festival of Mangos, the festival of chariots and now in Leicester - it’s the festival of the humble Yam. Who would have thought that such a basic staple food, would be honoured in such as way - but it is. And it's a really big deal for the Nigerian Igbo community, who are holding a community celebration to mark the occasion. In this clip, Dr Ouzo Mabel Iwobi and Nice Nwokoro from the Nigerian Association in Leicester spoke to Âé¶¹Éç Radio Leicester’s Dulcie Dixon.
