Eyo festival in Isaleko. Lagos Island. Our culture our Heritage in Lagos

[Uju Anya @UjuAnya]

I also learned they have bumba-meu-boi here in Lagos festivals, and I know it from Brazil!! Aduke explained that the dance was originally from this region and taken with the enslaved to Brazil. But then, Afro-Brazilians brought it back to Lagos in the late 1800s. Full circle!

[Uju Anya @UjuAnya]

Aduke also told me about the Eyo funeral rites, festivals, masquerades, and the significance of the rites, the staff (stick), the hats, robes, family deities and lines, etc. so fascinating!

Such a fun place and a fun tour! My security team did not allow me to enter danfo to go to market, but at least I got to pose next to one😅😅😅😁😁

Y’all. I spent the most delightful afternoon with the fabulous, indomitable writer and historian Aduke Gomez @DuksyG learning about the history of Lagos at the Onikan House cultural center. 🧵🧵🧶

We created an unforgettable experience with @Lovinglagos riding in one of Lagos transportation vehicles from the 70’s till early 90’s known as the ‘ BOLEKAJA ‘ .

Bolekaja is a Yoruba word meaning ‘ Come down let us all fight ‘ 😂

My name is Babatunde, a Lagos Tour guide

Let's come together to foster connections, share stories, and strengthen the bonds that unite us across borders.

Today, we celebrate the strength and resilience of our diaspora community! We honor the courage of those who left home to pursue new horizons and the invaluable contributions they've made to their adopted countries.

It was the first year anniversary of the coronation of Oba of Iwa and Apapa Kingdom in Lagos. He used the occasion to confer Royal titles on some family members. One of such is the title of Iya Oba meaning Mother of the King ( not biological) to Alhaja Ajobi Adams.

@dejitoye @GbenroAdegbola Interestingly I feel that it's the middle belt area that must be the most committed Nigerians being right in the middle and mostly minorities, they are stuck with the Nigerian project and hopefully that should give positive outcomes as they have the most beautiful landscape
