AGEMO FESTIVAL

400 level exams which is to hold on Monday 2nd of July, 2018 has been postponed due to the "Agemo Festival".

ANNUALLY, Agemo festival usually takes place between July and August every year in Ijebu Ode. The festival is usually preceded by “Ireku” which marks the opening of the gate for the Agemos to come into Imosan. Vanguard gathered that the coming of the Agemos into Imosan through Ijebu Ode is called “Iworo.” No woman is allowed to look at the Agemo when it is coming into Ijebu Ode or going out of the ancient town at the end of its annual festival. The journey of an Agemo from his town of abode to his arrival into Ijebu Ode and departure from the ancient town after all rites must have been concluded, is always preceded with the traditional shouts of “eke eee!!! Obirin mai wo ooo!!! We wo fere, wo’ku fere! Iku aiye eee, ojiji firi firi” (the Agemo is on his way, so give the right of way to Orisa, the spirit that can commune with the dead; women,don’t look at it).

#BBNaija – Big Brother’s Real Face Exposed – See How He Looks (Photos)

For today’s challenge the Housemates got asked to visually represent Big Brother’s omnipotent presence in a portrait of him. They were given paint, brushes and a blank canvas then tasked with letting their imaginations “run wild!” HoH, TTT hadn’t even finished reading out the Task and the Housemates were already buzzing! They then started discussing what Biggie might look like and their ideas were quite fascinating and diverse. TBoss thought that he wasn’t “handsome” in the classic sense but was attractive in a “rough” and rugged way in addition to having locs! Bisola thought he was tall, dark and handsome as well as sharp and well dressed. TTT took a more conceptual approach describing that he saw Biggie as a supreme, omnipotent being but one without a face and dual personalities. On the one hand the fact that he “saw all” made him like a diety “with light around his head” but because he was also a trickster TTT said he saw...
