Oro festival in ogbomoso starts
tomorrow 24th till 30th of July. Between 12 midnight and 4 a.m. Ladies are
advised to stay indoor during these periods.
The Oro festival is a
traditional annual Yoruba event that is normally observed in July. The festival
lasts several days (usually seven days) and for its duration women, and others
who are not participating, are expected to stay indoors. Several sources have
commented on different aspects of the event. By tradition, the Yoruba leaders
ask people not connected with the event to stay at home during which a
masquerade parades through the streets of towns at night". It’s an age-old
Yoruba belief that Oro must never be seen by a woman.
