Yes, that was the tradition. They danced to my palace here and introduced the festival to me but now Christianity has taken over and most of the traditions are no longer there. Very soon, the Ebilegun will start their own festival and they dance naked. We have a lot of tradition here which modernisation and Christianity have taken away and you can’t force things on people. Everybody does what they like now because of the freedom of religion and we thank God for that.

Iruwamene.” The messengers were surprised and they said it was her father that said she should come back and she again said, ‘Iruwamene; tell my father I am no more coming, I am already at home.’ So the other two said, ‘Well, we can’t stay with you here.’ Ubiaja moved on and Uromi followed.
