Olumo Rock

Image
One of the state in Nigeria with an anthem is the Abeokuta state; which has produced notable heroes of Nigerian. Names like  MKO Abiola, Funmilayo Ransom Kuti, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Olusegun Obasonjo, Awolowo etcetera are offsprings of that dear state. There again is situated a very notable rock in the heart of the Egba people the city of Abeokuta called Olumo rock. The meaning of Abeokuta in Yoruba language (one of the languages spoken by the Nigerian people), means under a rock. History has it that whenever there is a war, (guessing inter-tribal wars), It was said to be a fortress and some worship it (the rock) as Orisha (an idol). Worshippers of it told a prophecy long time ago that after the 10th king, the city would experience notable development, call it rumours or whatever you like, the city is way different from the way it used to be long ago, maybe prophecy was fulfilled or time brought the development would be a choice I'll leave you to make. The old olumo rock

Koma people (Adamawa State)

 It is shocking that we still have in Nigeria people who cover themselves with lion-skins and fresh leaves in this century, this is located among the Koma people of Adamawa State. A little description about the state and how to get to the community in Nigeria is highlighted above. The men are more receptive to wearing contemporary cloth than the women. As a way to welcome there visitor, they tend to share their wives with their guest. This is erroneously believed among the Tiv people of Benue State in Nigeria. These could be an accent practice but a Tiv man could be very violent in protecting there wives and such act does not exist. The little myth would be explored when we talk about the Benue people but let me just site it here before one could comment if it's true or false. It is believed that when a man is old and wants someone to take care of him in old his age, he goes and marry a younger lady, but because he does not have the strength to sexually satisfy his new wife, he som

Ovia Osese

Image
Ovia Osese is a festival celebrated Annually by the good people of Ogori in Kogi state. Since this blog is about hanging out, I need to give a little description on how to get to Ogori from Abuja. If you’re driving with a comfortable speed, getting to Ogori shouldn’t take more than 3 hours. You go through Gwagwalada, straight down to Abaji which we know it’s still a local government under FCT. Then one get to kogi state. If you’re scared of meeting new people,  you better consider other hobbies rather than hanging out. If one ask around, one would locate the town Ogori. The Ovia festival was heard this year the 19th of May, 2019. The festival is celebrated to welcome young female maidens to womanhood. They have been tutored on how to manage a home and how to  keep a man’s love by preparing nice delicacy. It fell on a Sunday a good time to hangout. People of the community comes from far and wide to unite in the festival. One would have the opportunity to visit the best of bar and hote
