The Egungun Festival in South West Nigeria is a big deal!
This festival is celebrated annually among the Yoruba people and has been passed down through generations. The festival lasts several days and strengthens the bonds that unite families and communities with their departed ancestors.
It is believed to help develop trade and commerce and generally bring together the people of Yoruba land, regardless of their religious beliefs.
