OLOROGUN: THE MOST DREADED IJAW MASQUERADE FROM THE SEA (MUST WATCH)
The famous Ayakoromo Olorogun festival in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta state started in 1937. The festival was founded by a man named Ayei. Ayei was a fisherman distinguished by commitment to his trade. In one of his usual fishing sessions, he caught a big fish that struck him strange and awe-inspiring, so he unentangled the fish, led it into the sea and rowed home. Few days later Mr. Ayei became ill and when the oracles were consulted, it revealed that the strange fish (Later named Olorogun by the oracles) he caught and led go of was the offshoot of his illness. The demand of the fish was that it should be beautifully carved and venerated in the mould of a masquerade festival. Mr. Ayei carved the fish as he saw it and Olorogun became the cynosure of Ayakoromo Okoso-otu masquerade cult.
Olorougun is a very agile and smart machete-wielding masquerade. Whenever Olorogun comes out, masked, thousand spectators often go home with machete wounds. And because the oracles predicted that the founder, Mr. Ayei, could be matched into pieces by Olorogun in its state of possession, he was often sneaked to a neighbouring vallage in the duration of the Olorogun day. (Full story on “Dewdrops From Nigeria’s Starved Tree” by Ekanpou Enewaredideke).
