Agemo Festival In Ijebu-Ode
Devotees sound the gongs during the Agemo Festival in Mosan, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, on July 2, 2025. The Agemo Festival is a significant indigenous religious festival among the Ijebu people of Western Nigeria, held between July and August to showcase rich cultural elements such as storytelling, dance, music, and elaborate costumes. The festival and accompanying rituals are celebrated to honor the spirit deity Agemo, who is believed to be a protector of children and who safeguards the Ijebus' future through its blessing.
