The festival is an annual traditional event that brings men and women from Southwest Nigeria for a carnival-like celebration of the traditional, cultural and spiritual accomplishments of Ijebuland.
A video from the festival was shared online to give netizens a glimpse of how it went down, and it has garnered different reactions due to the heavy downpour.
In the video, multitudes of men and women are seen defying the rain to participate in the festival. They were matching and parading with a banner under the rain.
Reacting to the video, social media users wondered why they couldn’t get a ‘rainmaker’ to stop the rain from falling pending the duration of the festival as it’s a common belief that rainmakers can control the rain in the Southwest region of Nigeria.
Some others questioned if ‘jazz’ is no longer working in Yorubaland because they expected the traditionalists to ‘hold the rain’.
