The open space of Adeboruwa Palace was full to capacity on Tuesday, August 20, when the traditional worshippers of various Orisa (deities) converged at Adeboruwa Palace Igbogbo, to mark 2024 Isese Day Festival.

Holding this year edition in a grand style in collaboration with the Adeboruwa-in-Council, the traditionalists regarded the festival as Odun Nla (Big festival.), while they were happy to demonstrate their religious faith. 

The major highlight of this year's festival was the invocation to all divinities (Apebo) and prayer (Iwure) for the people of Igbogbo Kingdom, Ikorodu Division, and the government of Lagos State.

In his royal remarks, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Barr.) Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, reiterated his reign's commitment to equal opportunities for all religions. He prayed for all, particularly Igbogbo Kingdom, to grow in wealth and development.

Chief Odofin further enjoined all the traditional worshipers in Igbogbo Kingdom to be more devoted in their ways of practicing the religion, asking them to at all time, seek Adeboruwa's consent before embarking on any celebration in Igbogbo.

Some of the Traditionalists that graced this year's festival were the Osugbos, Awo-Opa, Ogboni fraternity, Aborijin, Onigunnuko, Alagemo, Onisegun, Agbebi, Babalawos, amongst others.
