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

“It is hereby notified for general information that this Year’s Isese Day Celebration will hold on Tuesday, 20th August, 2024.

“In emphasising commitment to give necessary support to traditional institutions, as well as enhance the promotion of indigenous tradition by preserving cultural heritage, Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has approved that Tuesday, 20th August, 2024, be declared a Work-Free Day for Public Servants in the State.

“Consequently, work resumes on Wednesday, 21st August, 2024 at 8:00 a.m.

“Accordingly, all Accounting Officers are enjoined to note the contents of this Circular and give it the deserved Service wide publicity.”

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:

No work tomorrow?

I love this.

All Yoruba states are now fully in sync with the Isese Day.

God bless Yorubaland
God bless Sanwoolu

libvrithy:
So no work tomorrow?? They should not change mouth tomorrow

No work for public servants all across Lagos from the island to the mainland.

Tomorrow is for Isese day, next month we will do the Yoruba week in Lagos too and it’s going to be a massive celebration.

Ogun and Oyo will be doing theirs within the same period

This is a good one

Our Cultures and Traditions is what defines us as a people


Everything about the Yorubas is enviable. Nature was right to bring me here

Lagos is Yorubaland.

Sanwo Eko is fantabulous. Make we start Owambe tomorrow coz Isese is the root of the Yoruba people.

Nice one from the Mr. governor, and Yoruba day week long celebration by the state government coming next month.

This is how they celebrate yoruba culture in Cuba:

This is how it's being celebrated in, almost if not all South American countries including Mexico and Puerto Rico in the North.

Brazilian president downing and wife below. Proudly Oduduwa - God bless our Isese adherents.

Awa o ni aye ati ja wrestling.

This makes me happy. Watch how the land grabbers without any history, heritage or respect will start foaming about this post.

Notice I didn't mention any group? They will still complain. Narcissistic bigots!

Good for them

God bless you, Sanwo Olu.

sanwo has too much energy for one man

Me i go go work. Money must be made.

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.

Did you know that the Brazilian president is missing a finger? He lost it in an industrial accident. He was a union leader.

Hausa, Ibo, Fulani, Yoruba, Ashanti, Dahomey, Senegambia, Angola e.t.c. were all taken as slaves, but the Yoruba culture survived. They also led the imale revolution in Brazil. What a colonialists in the Bahamas wrote about the Yorubas.

The colonials in the Bahamas also had something to say about some others 👇

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 .
