Can't find any fight in the video OP posted. Just a bunch of loud-mouthed clowns screaming "ah" "ah" at each other from the opposite corners of the street.

Even our primary school fights at Ezechima Primary School Enu Onitsha featured physical blows, don't understand these Yoruba spirits throwing stones and vandalizing people's cars. SMH.

MayorofLagos:
Ologede is senior in rank to Eti.

By protocol all Eyos when fully clothed and masked must keep their staff in an upright lifted position and not touvh ground. If not masked or not in full regalia the staff must point and touch to ground

When a single Eyo randomly comes into view of a group of Eyo, whether fully clothed or not, masked or not, must show respect by lowering his staff and point to ground.

Its okay when a group of Eyo comes in view of another set with lateral ranking to observe courtesy, but is not necessary to lower staff.

When a group of Eyo comes in view of a group of another set of Eyo and of senior rank, the lower grade Eyo must lower staff in respect and maintain courtesy, giving the senior rank privilege of passage. Their staff must remain lowered untill the senior group has filed past.

It is not acceptable that a junior group of Eyo fail to yield or lower staff in observance of respect to the senior group of Eyo when their paths cross.

In the case of a violation discipline must be delivered on the spot by the senior group.

The following are acceptable mode of discipline
1 - The use of staff to whip members of the junior group
2 - Seize their hats
3 - Report them to Olori Eyo for penalty and possibly suspension from further outing in successive festivals for a period of time.

Eti and Bajulaye are notorious for acts of indiscipline and lack of respect to other Eyos. Moreso Eti...they deserved the beating from Ologede. They were lucky this was not Laba...

Laba will kill couple of them to bring awareness to the protocol and teach lessons to potential violators in future.
U just gave me an insight into this Eyo thing I never knew anything
Nice one

If this isnt jealousy from the Igbos on this forum, then i wonder what it is. You say we are lazy, poor, dirty and etc. We have heard you, but please, stop the obsession. Are you threatened by us? If you arent, then we wont matter to you guys.

Afonja this, afonja that; we've heard you. If you feel a tribe cant be as good as yours, then at least neglect that tribe. But no, you are always after this same tribe. Its either jealousy or fear!

The Lagos at 50 Eyo festival celebrations ended with a brutal face-off between Eyo Ologede and Eyo Etti masquerades yesterday despite several warnings from the state government against violence.

Reason for the fight could not be ascertained

You seem to have a great deal of knowledge about the Eyos. I remember growing up in Lagos island, the god-mother for the Bajulayes used to live in our house so the Onikos do come around to pay homage to her. I think there used to be a very tall man called Baluba amongst the Oniko. The Eyo Eti are quite notrorious for causing mayhem back then. If I am correct, the palace for the Eti is somewhere around patty/ freeman which is Akindele stronghold.

This caught my attention. Mayor is correct, there is ranking. Oniko is senior to Bajulaye and should never pay homage to them. What you observed is the reality of interwoven connection among land owner and ruling families on Lagos Island.

The godmother is a daughter of the Onikos, married to the Bajulaye household and the visit is typical for fraternal bonding. The purpose of inter-marriage between ruling families and land owners is to strenghten the bond and unify cause.

Ordinarily, Oniko would never pay homage to Bajulaye, it would never be tolerated. Hope I clarified this enough, Mayor's input is welcome if I missed anything.

Which one is Laba? A type of eyo too?

Laba is fully called lkolaba and it is the police of Eyo..

It is the most feared eyo after Adimu itself and they can beat other eyo to disability..

You cannot fight them because they move in large number hence when the lkolaba who procession is passing, other eyos flee...

The only thing I decipher from your post is "yorubas are not violent people. Even when they claim to be,it all ends it brawls and not actual violence.

Okay, that is a Goood thing.
