Isese: Lagos Declares Monday Work-free Day by FreeStuffsNG: 11:37am On Aug 19, 2023
The Lagos State Government has declared Monday, August 21, as a work-free day for all public servants in the state in commemoration of the 2023 Isese Day celebration which will be held on Sunday, August 20.

This is contained in a circular dated August 18 and obtained by The PUNCH on Saturday.

The circular, which was signed by the Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, noted that the declaration of Monday as a work-free day for public servants by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was “with a view to promoting our indigenous culture and tradition while preserving our heritage.”

“In restating its commitment to continue to provide the necessary support to traditional institutions in the state with a view to promoting our indigenous culture and tradition while preserving our heritage, Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has graciously declared Monday, 21st August 2023, a work-free day for public servants in the state. Work will, therefore, resume on Tuesday, 22nd August at 8 am prompt,” the circular partly read.

The PUNCH reported that the Lagos State Council of Obas and Chiefs had in July urged the Lagos State Government to officially recognise and declare August 20 as Isese Day holiday in the state.

The traditional rulers, who spoke at the inauguration of the state Council of Obas and Chiefs for another tenure of five years, said it had become important for the state government to recognise August 20 as Isese Day in the spirit of democracy and freedom of religion.

Speaking on behalf of the council, the Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, Oba Saheed Elegushi, said, “It is a demand that has been on the table of the governor for so long.”

It's the idea of the Alaiyeluwas and Ifa Devotees. Now I understand why it sailed through after all these years of clamouring for Yoruba Renaissance and practicing Isese privately in most Yoruba communities within and outside Nigeria.

Lagos state is a Yoruba state, Isese Day is now all Yoruba states public holiday. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Good move. This is good for Africa.

If foreign religions like Islam and Christianity will have a day to celebrate their festival or celebration in Africa just to please our brothers and sisters who are interested in the white man's heaven why not African traditional religions and their practitioners our brothers and sisters who are keeping our culture and identity alive.

The rubbish/ MADNESS going on in Kwara must stop. Who knows what they will ban next? Maybe they will ban the use of Yoruba language and Yoruba names. Na 21st century we dey oo. This thing should stop oo. It's their human right.

We dey cry say Oyibo force their yeye language and culture on us , na him another African tribe dey do this rubbish to another African tribe?



I am not a Christian
I am not a Muslim
I don't practice any African religion
I am not Yoruba
I am not Igbo
But I believe what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Lovely, It must be the same day including Kwara

We should advertise it and let foreigner come in to see how we celebrate our culture.

Writers should start writing, document everything accurately and make the most of it suitable to the ears.

Importantly: keep the rituals in the shrine or do it in a very neat attractive way in the public - allow people to celebrate dance and pray peacefully.

Yoruba are on track to recovering their identity and culture

This is a great way forward. I wish all tribes in Africa can make this effort.

But some people don’t even have any identity anymore other than the one their colonial masters assigned to them.

Only the Yorubas got to the Americas during the slave era and colonized their slave masters with their culture. Till date, the Yoruba culture is well recognized in Brazil, Cuba, North America and they even carry it on their heads.
Yorubas still extend to Togo and Benin and they also carried the culture on their head

I hope all other tribes can find a way to trace their roots.

The documentary bigger than Africa did a good job


Taylor90:
Fulani will soon take over Lagos

It’s gradually creeping in

Three days ago Muslims stormed Lagos government to know why Sanwo Olu didn’t appoint more Muslims in his cabinet

You should be worried that you have no identity.

Please Whatz exactly is your culture? Have you not been fully colonized and enslaved by your white masters?

Do you have any identity?
But Yoruba is your problem
And I think your pain is that Lagos has made its statement loud and clear that it is for Yoruba. There can never be a public holiday in Lagos to celebrate Igbo culture

Ipilese Yoruba, ire ni.

God bless our ancestors and the great work they did to put a culture as the Yoruba's in place.

We will always remember them. Their labour in various aspects of Yoruba life and society will not fail.

Isese l'agba.

We believe that every effort of the founding fathers were that we might have a peaceful abode and overcome every feasible obstacle.
