Our Heritage

## The Onunu Festival Story

The Onunu Festival was created from a deep desire to showcase the culture, traditions, and, most importantly, the cuisine of the Rivers people, with the aim of giving it greater global recognition.

### What is Onunu?

Onunu (also known as Tembùrú) is a distinctive dish from the Niger Delta region. It is made by pounding yam and plantain together, with palm oil giving it its unique yellowish hue and salt for flavor.

### Cultural Significance

Onunu is a special dish often served at significant events such as the coronation of kings, weddings, chieftaincy installations, and even when a woman gives birth. It has been recognized as a highly nutritious and healthy food, with no known side effects.

### Our Mission

The purpose of the Onunu Festival is to promote this beloved dish, increase its global recognition, and use the event as a platform to celebrate and preserve our cultural values and traditions. Onunu has been a part of our heritage for centuries and is known for its numerous health benefits. Through this festival, we aim to expand the reach and appreciation of our culinary culture worldwide.
