The Origin Of The Adamu Orisha. by opo22: 8:42pm On Jan 12, 2013
The Eyo Festival has become the cultural identity of the Lagosians in the south western region of Nigeria. Thank God for democrac, the Eyo followers had enjoyed more festivities. During one of such festivities the festival publicists came on radio (Lagos FM), to invite and promote the festival. One caller onto the program mentioned that the Eyo Festival actually migrated to Lagos and that the original owners of the festival are the Iperu people of Ogun States. The moderator asked the Eyo people to comment and they said they were not sent to make such comments. I remembered in those days of our youth in Lagos, one of the questions to determine a true born eyo masqurade was which day did you come from Iperu. The answer is i came yesterday and in a vehicle of groundnut shell. Now where did the Eyo come from or what is the origin of the only festival of the Eko people.
