Lovely photos from Nzem Berom 2022 at Rwang Pam Township Stadium Jos, Plateau State.
A glorious display of culture from the Berom Nation.
The Nzem Berom festival is an annual festival that celebrates the unique culture and tradition of the berom people of the plateau state.
Berom is the largest ethnic group in Plateau state which makes this a major event for the state. It attracts people from all Ethnic groups within Plateau and beyond.
The festival comprises a series of events, culminating with the grand celebration at the stadium. One of the events is a beauty pageant where the Zere Berom (beauty Queen) for the year is chosen.
On the final day of the festival, the Gbong Gwom Jos is escorted in a regal procession which always leaves the people of Jos in awe. the procession is led by the ‘Suga'( warriors) on horses followed by traditional dancers and maidens dressed in full traditional attire, also followed by District heads of all Berom districts and finally, His Majesty, The Gbong Gwom Jos himself, adorned in all His Glory. This procession makes its way to the stadium where traditional dancers, guests, Kings and Nobles from other tribes and masses await.
The festival is a rich display of the Berom culture, tradition, cuisine and hospitality.
