THINGS TO DO IN NIGERIA THIS SUMMER



                                         The grass so green,the sun so bright,
                                         Life seems a dream,no worries in sight
                                         The grass soon fades,leaves begin to fall,
                                         School replaces sleepovers,oh I'll miss it all.

Everyone just talks about summer like it doesn’t exist in Nigeria. People often think Summer is and must be spent abroad.For those who are carried  away by the Summer Craze and those who feel that it must be spent abroad cos it doesn’t exist in Nigeria,it does exist just that we don’t call it Summer.We call it Rainy Season. There are activities that could make your Summer beautiful….Lets ride!!!!!!!!

The Osun Oshogbo Festival (10th-22nd August 2015);

 This festival lasts for 2weeks,usually in the month of August.It is done yearly.The indigenes see it as a time to spiritually cleanse the land and also an avenue to reunite with family members.
 It begins with the traditional cleansing of Iwopopo;the ancient town.Then 3days after, the lighting of the 500-year-old sixteen-point lamp called 'Ina Olojumerindinlogun' takes place, then an assemblage of the crowns of the past rulers which is led by the Yeye Osun,the sitting Ataoja of Osogbo and the Arugba, and a committee of priestesses. 
The participants usually wear white and it takes place in the famous Osun Grove a sacred forest along the banks of the Osun River. Tourists all over the world. and non-indigenes are allowed to partake in this festival.......More activities coming.
