Yeeeeebos are so fixated on what happens in Yorubaland while they ignore theirs. Oro festival holds everywhere across Yorubaland wherever there adherents are present. No one is asking about your amadioha adherent cuz no one cares. If you want to see Oro come to Ife, That's where it is happening presently, then go to some parts of Abeokuta in coming days, you will find them, The Ikorodu axis adherent are probably warming up for theirs na. I know You lots worship Yoruba day and night and are obsessed with what happens in our land and culture. Keep it up. Azikiwe and ojuiku were able to waste few millions because of their own obsession. Many of you lots could surpass the record.
You even get time dey explain..
grin

We will flog them again. They should go and call their police.

Omo, your question carry weight o! The Oro Festival na one important part of our culture for some areas for Naija, especially for the Yoruba lands. E dey bring plenty attention because of the way e dey affect movements and activities for the areas where e dey happen.

About your question on why e be like say the Oro Festival no dey hold this year, e get different reasons why traditional celebrations fit pause or no loud as before. Sometimes, e fit be because of community decisions based on certain circumstances or changes for the community leadership or even external factors like government policies or public health concerns.

Another thing be say, these traditional celebrations, including Oro, dey planned by the community elders and the traditional council, and their decisions fit dey influenced by plenty things wey outsiders no fit immediately know. E fit be say dem decide to make the celebration lowkey this year or even postpone am for reasons best known to them.

The part wey you talk say e be like the Oro dey follow INEC timetable dey funny small but na valid observation. Traditionally, these festivals no dey align with political calendars; however, e possible say the community leaders dey consider the general atmosphere for the country, including political climate, before dem set date for their traditional events.

If the festival dey very important to you or you just dey curious, you fit try reach out to people from the community or check with cultural organizations wey dey related to the Oro Festival for more concrete information. Them fit dey in a better position to yarn you wetin dey happen behind the scenes.

E also possible say announcements or updates fit still come out later on. Traditional festivals like Oro dey deeply rooted in our culture and e no easy to just cancel them without serious reason. Keep your ear for ground; you might just hear something soon.

If you recall, during the general elections last year, residents of Lagos were subjected to several discomforts including restriction of movement sometimes due to Oro Traditional celebrations. It was even worse during the elections of February and March.

But interestingly, it’s that time of the year again but we have not heard of road closures or restriction of movements because of Oro.

Which is why I’m asking the question, why is there no Oro Traditional celebration this year?

Or does the Oro follow INEC timetable?
Like Muslim festivals, I believe Yoruba traditionalists festivals don't follow your Roman Julien calendar.

Same as the month of Ramadan doesn't occur on the same Romano Christian month every year.
