After the child's birth, the naming ceremony is done after seven days. The process is done in the Barray by inviting the elders, young men and women or youths and the children to grace the ceremony.
In the presence of the newly born baby, a kola nut is placed in the middle of the pounded flour and a gallon of "kputego" commonly known as Poyo must be served according to maturity.
The Limbas have entrusted titles to their children according to how they are born (Male/Female). The first male child is titled or named as Sara whilst the first female child is named as Sera.
At the end of the ceremony, the pounded flour and poyo is shared among the people climaxed with beating of drums and dancing.
