I am writing this on a very sad note...  
I was in the village this past weekend to spend few days with my extended family and to my utmost surprise, I was informed that there is an existing "oro festival" going on, and that I must make it indoors by 4pm to say the least.
Coincidentally, I got to the village by 4:35pm all looking empty and deserted like a grave yard. Out of intuition, I decided to start looking ahead of me before I walk down any path.
Three paths away from my Father's House, I discovered the procession was just ahead of me, I ran for my dear life. Three things happened to me while I was running for my dear life:
1. I misplaced my phone, a massive Tecno Phantom 5 
2. I misplaced my wallet
3. I had to forgo my luggaes which they now have in their possession ( Luckily, I had ONLY new wears I've not even tested in it).
Now, here's my grouse with this evil, barbaric, satanic and extinct act: After loosing my phone which I had used to take beautiful pictures because of its picture quality and suave, my games are also gone, Is this ORO of a thing supposed to be continued in this time and age?
My money is also gone! I will so miss my phone because of its become my perfect companion
PS: For the non-Yorubas who don't know what an oro festival is, it is basically a festival celebrated in Yoruba lands either after the death of an Oba or a special atonement is to be made in the land and it involves sacrificing Humans! Sorry we don't do those bullsh!ts in Ibadan. Even women now watch Ololu(the most dreaded masquerade in Ibadan. |

Apparently, the only thing that needs to move forward is your grammar and application of punctuation, because, obviously you're the type that tries so hard to emulate the west and confuse the adoption of western culture for modernization yet nothing about you is 'modernized'. The Asians still hold on to their cultures and are way developed than Nigeria will ever be. You do not know me off of this forum so I wonder how you know I've not travelled out of Nigeria. Despite your (struggle) attempt to sound like you're someone, it is obvious you're just some average confused individual who thinks ancestral culture is a contributing factor to underdevelopment.

You're shit.ting on your ancestral culture meanwhile those who gave you these foreign beliefs are trooping to Africa in droves to learn what you're calling barbaric?

I served in ogbomosho. Oro festival is done in ogbomosho. I worked at the general hospital and virtually every body in the town knew me. One night I was on call and was driving back to the hospital. I met them at the junction of the hospital. I couldn't even speak Yoruba. They came at my car and ordered[sup][/sup] me out. Soon as they saw me one of the masqueraders prostrated and shouted Dokita mii oh. Then every body started hailing me. They gave me a big alley way and sang songs of praises for me. I smiled and drove as fast as I could to the ER.
Oro dey fear face cos the dude with the masquerade costume was my patient. And I catered to his wife when she was to deliver.
I was an ogbomosho hero. That's my adopted home since then.
End of my story As much as your story sounds quite false considering Oro is no masquerade except you met masquerades at night who won't need you for or anyone for anything anyway so there's no need to form 'champion' on this forum but your post points at common sense which the OP lacks/ed. 3 Likes |

Or we have decided to 'suffer fool gladly' and watch these animals rewrite our history before our very own eyes?
