The town of Ileegbo Ijesha, under the leadership of Onileegbo Ileegbo, Oba Abiola Abdulrasaq Esan, has commenced the annual celebration of the Agbalumo festival, symbolising peace, harmony, and fruitfulness.
African culture is rich in the celebration of our historical heritage, traditional orientations, and core values as a community of people.
The Yoruba culture stands out, particularly in terms of the diversities and differences within the geographic location of Nigeria’s South West, among the Yoruba people. The Ijesha people have distinct cultural and linguistic characteristics that set them apart from other clans within the Yoruba people.
The Agbalumo Festival is one of the many festivals of the Ijesha people, celebrating the triumph of the Ijesha people of Ileegbo origin.
The festival is an annual traditional celebration of the rich cultural heritage, which takes place on Thursday, August 11, to Sunday, August 12, every year.
There are hordes of tourists across the globe who visit this beautiful town to celebrate the beauty of the core African values.
