Though I'm not a fan of tradition, it's best to leave them be and allow them do their thing. After all, it is just for a day. To avoid stories that touch(the heart).

The thing is not that strong again, a lady served me this morning along Yaba Road in the same Ondo town. I also saw some women inside their shop doing their normal businesses, everywhere is scanty though.

NgcoboP:

except that the OPs husband is broke hence she has to go out....no fuel.... power supply cut due to debts hence the useless thread

matrixme:
Interesting development, especially as Nigerians now celebrate Halloween. We are a lost and confused people.

megareal:

ogesonopt:

BIDOO:

[b]The 'festival' is called ODUN MOKO. It happens once in a year in ondo town. During the celebration of the festival, women across all age grades are barred from coming out in the morning of its celebration till evening when it would come to an end.

As a child, we were told that if you go out, you won't be able to conceive when the time comes. My grandma even told me that in the olden days, no cooking of food or any other activities by the women.



As a child, I remember that whenever this 'day' comes, i will wear trouser and tell my dad I'm now a boy simply because I hate being restricted. I guess the feminist in me started very Early.

I once asked the 'Lisa' of Ondo the meaning of this festival and he told me that it not meant to punish the womenfolk, but is done in line with the age-long tradition and culture of the people of the community.

It is on this day that we all know the importance of women in the Society because the town is always quiet like a grave yard. It's the sound of little boys playing football on the street that you can hear in the corner of the room.

Lalasticlala, is this another form of oppression of the women folk . Move to front page please [/b]

Wow i remember that festival back then when i was in Ondo town, Beside Ondo township have so many festival which i cannot remember, But the biggest of the festival is the Ogun festival if am not mistaken it for Ekimogun, We use to buy cloths and prepare for it, We will all troop to the road leading to Oba place i forget the name again but coming from Ife garage leading to Esso through Surulere road.. I enjoy myself when i was in Ondo i swear. But Lagos is still the best.
