THE LANGUAGE OF THE COWRIE-SHELLS

Cowrie-Shells divination refers to several distinct forms of divination using Cowrie-Shells that are part of the rituals and religious beliefs of certain religions. Though best-documented in West Africa as well as in Afro-American religions, such as Santería, Candomblé, and Umbanda Cowrie-Shell Divination has also been recorded in other regions, notably East Africa and India etc.. In Santería: The Cowrie-Shells, called Dilogun, are used by Priests and Priestesses of Santería, who are called Santeros and Santeras, respectively. Both men and women who have been initiated into Santería can read Cowrie-Shells.

ADIMU ORISA

The Eyo festival also known as the Adimu Orisa Play, Which has been existing since the days of old and probably dates back much further than most Lagosians can ever remember. The first procession in Lagos was on the 20th of February, 1854, to commemorate the life of Oba Akintoye,the main highway in the heart of the city (from the end of Carter Bridge to Tinubu Square) is closed to traffic, allowing for procession from Idumota to the Iga Idunganran palace. The white-clad Eyo masquerades represent the spirits of the dead, and are referred to in Yoruba as "agogoro Eyo" (literally: "tall Eyo")
