Another hunter killed an elephant in those days and found, in the bowel of the elephant, a deity. This deity became the peoples’ God of war and was worshipped until recent times. Legend and living testimony speak of several instances when this god helped them to win wars or protected them from dangerous situations. In time of war, this God formed a protective shield of cloud, so thick that the enemy could not see them. They saw and shot at the enemy until the enemy was conquered. Even to this day, the bravery and militancy of the people is such that they are a security unto themselves and will not tolerate any form of social misdeed irrespective of whether the culprit is from the community or not.

Traditions / Humjibre holds the traditional post of Krontihene meaning Defense chief, in the traditional area or paramountcy. Whenever there was a vacancy at the paramountcy, the Humjibre chief assumed temporary responsibility as paramount chief.

Every year the people celebrate “Yam” festival. This is when chieftaincy regalia and ornaments are displayed. Chiefs and the people dress in rich traditional cloths. Chiefs are carried in palanquins amid drumming and dancing and feasting. Yam festival is observed to usher in the New Year and to thank God for the previous harvest.

Despite the effects of recent electrification Humjibre retains a distinctively African village culture. Before dawn, the village cocks make a racket to announce the departure of the first farmers to their fields; any birth or death is known by everyone seemingly in an instant; the voices of children singing songs can be heard coming from primary school classrooms for much of the day; traditional dress with adinkra symbology is still worn on ceremonial occasions; and there is a humbling welcome extended to any stranger who comes to a homestead, no matter how modest.
