One of the famous festivals marked in the southwest annually is the Olojo Festival in Ife, Osun state.
A talking point from the event that has caused a buzz on social media is the trending video of Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi rocking the sacred Aare crown, said to be associated with the god of war and iron, Ogun.
In the video, the Ooni of Ife appeared to be under spiritual influence with the sacred Aare crown on his head as people supported him on his left and right-hand side. He staggered on foot through the ancient Ife town.
