Nzireani has undergone reformation in recent times; Anam Elders council have fixed every Eke market day closest to Christmas for the festival (this is to accommodate the Christians: showing the magnanimity and wisdom of our ancestors towards the cultures and religions of other people). Nzireani is marked by numerous young ‘war-masquerades’ entertaining and displaying arts of courage and bravery on the streets of Anam while the elders engage in religious feast at their respective ukpoo (alter-shrine). Qte Anam (Yam Festival)  Yam is a very important crop, essential to Igbo mystical traditions which is best seen among Anam people who are known for their yam cultivation. The relevance of Anam people and their arts of yam cultivation came to climax during and immediately after the Biafran war; most of the yam supplied in Biafra at that time came from Anam because most part of Anam was not affected by the war. In addition, their arts of yam cultivation are a religion of sort to Anam people. Young person ready for marriage will be given ‘Nnu ji’ to cultivate on his own to prove that he can take care of woman and children. Anam men are extraordinary; right from birth to the age when they are initiated into the sacred tradition of masquerade, age grade and eventually ‘the arts of farm cultivation’. Ote is a very significant cultural festival to Anamites globally; Elders council of Anam fixed the first Uka-Eke in the month of August (onye-ive Isaa; seventh month in the Igbo traditional calendar, onye-ive is the igbo name for the moon which means extender of light) for this festival. (The festival sometimes last for 4days for some people who use that as opportunity to rejuvenate their health, social and religious life) Yam, the king of all crops is cultivated in other communities of Anambra, Benue, Kogi and beyond but in no other community is yam crop accorded such sacred significance as in Anam. Ote Anam marks the climax of the sacred arts of yam cultivation. The Ote Anam is a time of harvest and huge festival of thanksgiving, significant activity of these four days festival is that it is a time for children to visit their parents and buy them gifts. It also presents opportunity to give alms to the needy and the less privileged in the society such as widows and widowers, childless etc. to young Anamites it's their own Christmas.
