It seems like there’s a significant overlap in the scheduling of the Oro festival and the planned nationwide protests in Nigeria.

The announcement from Lagospedia has sparked attention and concern, particularly among Nigerian youths and various groups planning the protests.

The Oro festival is traditionally observed in several communities across Lagos, and its timing from August 1 to August 15 coincides with the planned protests against the economic challenges and cost of living issues in the country.

This overlap has caused discussions and reactions on social media platforms like Twitter, where people are expressing their views and concerns.

The situation underscores the potential for conflicting activities and the need for coordination to ensure peaceful expression of rights and cultural observances.

The post reads, “Attention residents and visitors of Lagos. Please be informed that the Oro festival will be observed in various communities across Lagos from the 1st of August to August 15. This traditional Yoruba cultural event involves significant rituals.”

Many Nigerians responded to this announcement by saying it seemed like a weak attempt to stop the planned #EndBadGovernmentInNigeria protest.
