Eyo Festival Returns To Lagos Island With Vibrant Processions After Seven Years.

The Adamu Orisa Play, or Eyo Festival, revives after seven years at Tafawa Balewa Square, where thousands watch masquerades honor Yoruba heritage and departed icons like Abibatu Mogaji and Mobolaji Johnson.

Eyos lead processions dating back to 1854 traditions, banning shoes, umbrellas, and selfies while crowds chant ‘Eyo!’ in unity.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu hosted the event, with Seyi Tinubu newly titled Okanlòmo of Eyọ Ọba Alakẹtẹ Pupa, celebrating Lagos’ enduring culture.
