Isese Day: Sanwo-olu Declares Tuesday Public Holiday by LegendHero(m): 2:18pm |
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Tuesday, 20 August, 2024 as work-free day for public servants to mark this year’s Isese Day celebration. Isese means tradition and it has millions of adherents in Yoruba land. The announcement is contained in a circular issued by the State’s Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro. According to the circular, the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had approved that Tuesday, 20th August, 2024 be declared work-free for public servants in the State. The circular directed public servants to resume work on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 by 8.00am. Although the United Nations had declared August 20, as World Traditional Religion (Isese) Day, this is the first time the Lagos State Government declared a public holiday for adherents to celebrate the day. The circular reads: “COMMEMORATION OF YEAR 2024 ISESE DAY – DECLARATION OF WORK FREE DAY Source: https://leadership.ng/isese-day-sanwo-olu-declares-tuesday-public-holiday 8 Likes

Some people who don't have a celebrated culture or historical heritage will soon come here to attack the governor and the Yoruba people of SW Nigeria. This is how they celebrate yoruba culture in Cuba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt0taRu0dE0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPjtlspWL8A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a9du2IIdvM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yFUouzE7Yk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLJOrs-9JoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOLrj5MKq9E 25 Likes 8 Shares |

Yoruba slaves were taken in large numbers to Brazil, especially towards the last 50 years of the final abolition of the practive in 1882 in Brazil. Those white guys singing may have African ancestory. They may be Quadroons who have a black grandfather, or octoroons who have one black great grandfather. Santeria is a kind of Christian worship mixed with paganism. konquest 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Great ,I'm not religious but I will choose Isese over any foreign imperialistic religion if need be any day any time. Also ,it's a strategic move to reinforce indigenous positions in the state . A lot of insults from some people that could not proudly point to their home state these days which need to be nipped in bud . Another change the SW governors need to make is to unify the date that way it will have more impact . 13 Likes 2 Shares |
