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.

In this clip, Dr Ouzo Mabel Iwobi and Nice Nwokoro from the Nigerian Association in Leicester spoke to 91¸£ÀûÉç Radio Leicester’s Dulcie Dixon.
