Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, In a letter signed by the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabir Shotobi, and addressed to the chairman of the management boards of the Ikorodu town hall the monarch said female residents should stay indoors and avoid moving around the community to ensure the peaceful celebration of the annual festival. “This is to notify you of the above-mentioned festival which is slated for Tuesday, 8 May 2018, according to tradition all females are forbidden to be seen outside their homes or move around the town on this date which is Oro Day,” the letter read. The monarch added that: “Your cooperation towards the success of the festival will be appreciated. Thank you in anticipation and God bless.” Over the years, the traditional festival has been celebrated twice every year with only the male residents allowed to move freely across different parts of the community.

Lagos is a city of multiple ethnicity. No group can impose their barbaric culture on it entire populace. Nobody pay my bills, why obey such monopolistic rule?! How many times has the Igbo, Ijaw or Hausa shutdown Lagos for there individual festival?! 13 Likes 1 Share |

Mynd44:Mynd44 I refuse to believe you are the one saying all these...haba No matter how we love our culture and traditions so much we should also understand that things and times are changing and we as humans should follow suit. If we really want to follow our cultures very well then we should start walking naked or dressed in animal skins so we understand that we actually love our cultures and will want to follow them just as our for fathers did. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Nothing good comes out of this stupid oro it's just dubious means of using human as sacrifice. Last year when a new king was about to be crowned in my area they Said there will be oro and they said only ladies must not come out to see it, because the stupid man behind the oro is naked. But at midnight we could hear the cry of a man screaming pls have mercy. If oro see person to challenge him with gun he go run. 12 Likes |
