Hmm proudly ikorodu ambassador, omo eluku meden meden, omo eluku meden, omo imale afeleja, omo ake nigbo ki eru ba ara ona, if u guys aren't pleased with d ancestral festival u can as well do us a favor by relocating to ur various states

flyca:
No wonder that Nairandress rejected the proposal of his rich suitor that was moving to Ikorodu a few days ago

caracas:

So restricting ppls movement is now tradition
Chai, Some ppl should go n pray for sense or atleast look for where to buy it

uglodoh:


27th Is Sunday and it is not affected and moreover the festival is not in every part of Ikorodu. [s]Movements are restricted on the days of the festivals both day and night[/s] The op that reported this didn't do justice at all to it. I just asked my husband who hangs out with ikorodu indigenes, he said he is not aware of the festival.

We are even lucky here that they announce theirs what of other parts of Lagos they do not announce theirs and they carry out killings.

I lived in ebute metta for more than 30 years, I never knew they do something like that until a girl came to church to give a testimony how she narrowly escaped death at Oto where a similar festival was taking place.

Just be security conscious in Lagos as long as ritual killing is concerned.

Some of you kids on Nairaland will just talk as if your sense is absent. If you doubt them come to Ikorodu in the midnight and see how all this grammar you blew above will deal with you.

Simple don't come out in the mid-night you will turn it to something else as if it's normal for people to wander around at night. For your information not all indigene of Ikorodu can participate in the festival

Giddyperson:
You are person being senseless here. What's so difficult about staying at home at night. You can suggest that government should negotiate with them to start a little later and close a bit earlier so that others can go about their normal businesses. If it's called Halloween now all of you would join the bandwagon

jumpandpas:


If it is not normal for people to wander around at night as u said, why do they want to wander around at night with fetish festival?.

Acidosis:
Nairaland mods should always scrutinize posts before placing on front page.


This topic is too sensational. Non indigenes were not barred for 4 days as reportedly posted by the wannabie illiterate behind that handle. The notice from HRM reads '2 days' 10:00pm - 5:30am.

Where is 4 days coming from? The OP took his cra.ziness too far by further posting 10:00pm - 5pm? It is 5:30am not 5pm has wrongly cited by the illiterate OP.

I'm not from Ikorodu, I don't live there, I also do not support such measures just to appease to some insa.ne gods but, as much as possible, we must avoid posting unscrutinzed over-sensational issues and falsehood from unscrupulous elements like OP.

ediots, dats y u and ur ofonja obas should issue threats to people.. Is 10pm midnight? What if people travelling from far distance without such information, arrive late n find themselves in ikorodu, u and ur oba masqueraders wld behead them na?, ryt? Ediots... U would be quick to come here n call people kids, but how much have ur socalled practice contributed to d development in ur village, or helped in d human development in ur area, or alleviate the suffering of ur indegenes in ikorodu since its days of practise? ...instead na issue of comcom threat na im ur chlime they sabi do.. Una wan do rituals for night?.. Y not quietly do it in peace, live n let live..u want to run it at nyt, start by 11to intimate ppl and peacefully practise all nyt..putting all possibilties into perspective.. Instead of issuing threats with command as if u dictate wat people should do... Una manner of spelling it out is savagery.. una no fit even issue organised threat... If it was as simple as u say it, wld people complain.?...mentally enslaved afonjas...

U need Some lectures about civilisation
Particularly ,fundamental freedom of movement .

sodiksan:


But seriously I can't help than laugh at your rank of ssttuuppiiddttyy, you are talking about development, which state and local government are you from?? ? If you like wail till next 3 days nothing will change the curfew, if you love your people give the information a wide publicity to avoid story that touch, your wailing can't help anybody. And to your defamotry statements, it only shows you are from the wailers tribe.

uglodoh:


I live in Ikorodu and most of the activities are done in the night but to be saved people do not go at all on those stipulated days. The festival is not every part of Ikorodu. If this particular is true which I am even in doubt, it will only take place on 26th and 29th of August.

Moreover Nigeria constitution recognises traditional religion. Public holidays are declared for sallah and Christmas and other celebration.

Ikorodu own is just too much; affecting businesses. The new Obas of Ikorodu and Igbogbo are not helping matters.

sodiksan:


There are many part of Lagos that carry out their festival at night without informing anybody, the next day those victims will be no where to be found and nobody will know what transpired in the midnight, you should thank the good people of ikorodu for their magnanimous act by informing people earlier enough to avoid story that touch.

If you have families in Ikorodu, tell them to stay indoor from 10pm to 5.30am if you truly love them, to be forewarned is to be forearmed

Why used Berger picture for ikorodu?Wetin a wan com find for ikorodu before?since baddoo took over ,I have not gone beyond Mile 12....elekuru ko,onirobo ni

sodiksan:


Tell me what they can't understand, people like you will come here to misinform people, it simply means stay in your house between 10pm to 5:30am, nothing else and you are here telling people what you know nothing about.

Ikorodu Again! This Place Does Not Fit To Be In The Map Of Lagos.

Josephjnr:
I think they meant,stay in your house.

Don't see how one will really tell me to leave my own house for days because of some dead ancestors that refused to stay dead.
