Today In Ondo Town, Ladies Are Not Allowed To Go Out by Nobody: 7:40am On Nov 03, 2016 |
[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 .

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). 5 Likes |
