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). ...
The Rape Culture What exactly is going on in our universities and colleges? T her e's  a rape culture in our schools and no one is talking. Published:  01.06.2018 Fu'ad Lawal A rape victim (Illustration) The average Nigerian student entering tertiary institution whether University or College, is most likely going to be between 15 and 19 years old.  Their self-esteem will most likely be shaky. Their world views and philosophies unshaped. They want to feel valued and accepted. It is also at this age that sexual curiosity spikes. Combine all of these, and vulnerability rears its head. People in this bracket are perhaps the most likely to get raped, especially women.  Let’s start with Tola. Tola is a smart young lady. Settling into University life wasn’t as difficult as she thought, classes are coming and going. She’s making new friends, interesting friends. There’s one she likes. Like really really likes. He wears really nice shirt...

GIST: Davido / Olamide / Wizkid : Which Of These Artists Can Fill Up “Wembley Stadium”

It is the sold out season in the industry and as expected, the industry giants are already cashing out at various shows in the Diaspora. Very recently Davido shut down a 10,000 capacity stadium in Suriname, a country in South America. Also Wizkid announced that his next show “AfroRepublik’” which is coming up at the 20,000 capacity O2 Arena in London on the 26 of May is already sold out. While these two keep bragging about shutting it down in one continent or another, that is not the case for one of the biggest rappers in the industry, Olamide. The YBNL boss failed in a bid to fill out the 24,000 capacity Teslim Balogun Stadium back in December 2017 when he hosted the fourth edition of his annual OLIC music series. Despite this, Olamide still managed to gather a huge crowd at the venue. For a Wembley football stadium which has a seating capacity of 90,000 which among our top 3 music acts do you think is capable of selling out a show at that venue?
