My people, e be like say we don enter wahala for Lagos as Eyo Festival turn to something we no fit explain! Some video wey don go viral show masquerades dey beat one guy well well during the celebration wey everybody suppose dey enjoy.
Dem say, as the Eyo guys dressed in white and red dey parade for street, dem land one guy with their staves like say na boxing match! Abeg, wetin happen to respect and vibe wey Eyo dey bring? No be so we sabi Eyo before. E be like say dem don de change am!
Some people say this man fit break some traditional rules, like no remove shoe or cap when Eyo dey waka pass. Guy named Oziegbe Odion, wey dey yan for X as #DaSTReet5, don vex say, “This no be the Eyo wey I sabi! Before, dem no dey beat person, dem just dey vibe and enjoy. Wetin we dey see now?”
Other commenters join am for the matter. One dude wey call himself #dele003 talk say, “Why dem go dey beat innocent person wey just dey chill?” Na him dem dey use long stick dey jab, how person no go get injury?
Some people dey even talk say na im no follow Eyo protocol, but wetin come be excuse to beat person like say na military training? Another guy, Gbenga Emmanuel, don blame the man say he wear shoe when Eyo dey pass. E be like say na shoe and cap wahala we dey face for this Eyo Festival o! Na wetin we come chop for ground?
Wahala for Lagos no dey finish as some people still dey throw chairs at masquerades. Who no wan chop am? As the masquerades dey waka dey go their gate, na so dem carry chair and object dey follow dem like say na football match! Some people dey vex, others dey laugh, but serious matter dey happen.
The festival don attract high-profile people like President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, but the footage don raise alarm about crowd control. People suppose dey enjoy themselves, no be to dey fear for street.
As we dey observe the matter, we still never hear from those in charge of the festival. How dem go allow this kind wahala happen when we all suppose dey enjoy Nigeria culture and tradition? Make dem handle this matter before e turn another fashion show for street o!
