Eyo festival is on Saturday. It will be widely celebrated in Lagos. A colleague of mine, a moslem and Lagosian, believes there is nothing occultic or spiritual about the festival. He said it is all entertainment.

He wants me to go watch Eyo and celebrate with him. Another colleague, a christian, cautioned me, saying I'd be worshipping other gods by doing so. She said Islam does not discourage such 'idol worshipping', and that is why he sees nothing wrong in the festival.

What is occultic about Eyo? Is it true that the Eyo's cane is charmed? Celebrating Eyo festival, does it conflict with christianity?

My Brother, If you are Yoruba, it is your duty to celebrate this festival. IT is the festival of your ancestors and a mark of respect to your rulers.this festival comes before all that christian-muslim foreign nonsense. This is the true religion.

PAGAN 9JA:

My Brother, If you are Yoruba, it is your duty to celebrate this festival. IT is the festival of your ancestors and a mark of respect to your rulers.this festival comes before all that christian-muslim foreign nonsense. This is the true religion.

What has Eyo got to do with Yoruba? What you should say is, If you're a Lagosian it is your duty to celbrate this festival. Eyo is a Lagos masquerade you won't find it anywhere else outside of lagos.
