Culture / Nairalander Attends Orosun Festival 2023 Which Was A Display Of Rich Heritage by massmediang: 9:24pm On Jun 23, 2023 |
Orosun festival is one of the top tourist attractions in West Africa. It is a festival held annually in the ancient city of Idanre, located in Idanre local government area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The unique thing about this festival is that it takes place on top of the hill. This hill is 3000 feet above the sea level and it is exactly where the ancient people of Idanre land used to live over 100 years ago. That is also where the history of Orosun festival had its root. On top of this hill is located Orosun hill which is the highest hill in the entire Idanre land. It is the worship of this hill that marks the Orosun festival. Reports have it that that Orosun was a woman and one of the wives of Olofin Aremitan. Olofin left Ile-Ife and stayed at Akoko land where he met a beautiful woman called Orosun and married her at Ipetu. After some years Aremitan left for Oke-Idanre which he founded. Orosun was generally loved by Idanre people owing to her love for children despite not having one herself (she had offered her only child as a human sacrifice whilst in Ile-Ife). She was known as a healer of sorts, often cooking herbs with her ‘Ikoko Aremo’ to cure children of their illnesses. At some point, envy and political intrigues set in and Orosun became the target of communal hatred. When Olofin died, she remarried several times. Orosun heard of an assassination plan and fled from the land into the forest of Idanre hills. Her assassins pursued her to her hideout and killed her. She was eventually assassinated at the foot of the highest hill in Idanre. The people of Idanre started having problems which included strange deaths and when they consulted the oracle they were told that Orosun was unjustly killed and her spirit had to be appeased before troubles stopped befalling the land. So the people of Idanre named the highest hill at the foot of which she was killed Orosun hill and continued to worship the hill till today. The festival is performed in the month of May but sometimes in June. The 2023 edition of the festival took place on Wednesday June 14 and it was very colourful. https://massmediang.com/orosun-festival-is-expression-of-rich-heritage-photos-video/

Business / Hard Way To Make Money Through Underwater Sand Dredging (video) by massmediang: 12:05pm On May 28, 2023 |
There are many ways to earn a decent living but this one seems a bit extreme. A young man has been spotted earning a living through unbelievable means. He spends time inside water to scoop same which his colleague parks together to be sold to big lories that supply sand to builders. Sand dredging is a good way to make money but this seems like taking a risk when viewed from the health perspective. Spending that much time underwater and for the entire day is not what anyone is advised to do daily. But then this guys are used to it and they seem to be enjoying what they're doing.

Romance / Man Divorces His Wife During Wedding Reception Because Of Song She Chose by massmediang: 12:03pm On Jan 24, 2022 |
Man divorces his wife during wedding reception after her song choice at their wedding sparks family row A couple has set a new record for the shortest marriage after calling it quits at their reception venue because of the wife’s choice of song. The groom ended the marriage after his wife played a “provocative” song which caused an argument during their celebrations in Baghdad. Massmediang reports that the woman requested the Syrian song – Mesaytara by Lamis Kan – which includes some questionable lyrics, with the song name itself translating to “I am dominant” or “I will control you”. The song begins with the lyrics: “I am dominant; you will be ruled under my strict instructions, I will drive you crazy if you looked at other girls on the street. “Yes, I’m dominant, you’re my piece of sugar. As long as you’re with me, you’ll walk under my command.” The bride was reportedly dancing to the song and enjoying her wedding, but the groom’s family were not impressed resulting in a huge row between the two families.

Politics / Jubilation As Hope Uzodinma Pays Imo Workers 13th Month Salary by massmediang: 9:12am On Dec 25, 2021 |
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has paid 100 per cent of basic pay as 13th month package for workers in the state. The alert of the 13th month salary started reflecting Friday, December 24, as many workers were preparing to do final Christmas shopping. Many workers called into a phone-in radio programme on Ozisa FM Owerri in the morning of today, December 25, to confirm that the alerts of the payment had been received by workers. Recall that the governor had on Monday, December 20, revealed in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, that he would pay 13th month salary to workers. He also promised to give the workers Christmas rice through their ministries, while deserving civil servants would be promoted. Uzodimma told the workers during an interactive session with them in Owerri on Monday, that despite wrong assumptions from certain quarters, his administration held workers in high esteem and would continue to prioritise their welfare. He also assured that his administration would not owe salaries of all verified 43,000 workers without issues, adding that he did not regard payment of salary as achievement “because the worker deserves his wage.” The governor has fulfilled his promised as workers have now received the 13th month salary he promised them. This payment was made to verified 43,000 workers in the state, as workers you had not been receiving salary for months due to ‘inconclusive’ verification exercise did not benefit from this development. https://massmediang.com/jubilation-as-hope-uzodinma-pays-imo-workers-13th-month-salary/ 2 Likes
