Olowo Seeks Support for Igogo Festival from Still Earth
The Olowo of Owo Kingdom, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, visited Ms Oyindamola Lami Adeyemi, the Executive Chairman of Still Earth Group, at her Banana Island residence in Lagos last weekend. The purpose of the visit was to seek support for the annual Igogo festival, a significant cultural event in Owo Kingdom and Ondo State.
Accompanying the monarch was Chief Taiwo Kabir Adeyemi, Ms Adeyemi's father. Oba Ogunoye emphasized the festival's historical roots in values such as fidelity and forgiveness, noting the unique tradition of suspending conventional drumming during the celebration.
Ms Adeyemi expressed her pride in her Owo heritage and commitment to supporting the festival, pledging the assistance of Still Earth Group for at least the next three years. This partnership aims to enhance the festival's organization and visibility while respecting its longstanding customs and traditions.
