The Eyo Festival, otherwise known as the Adamu Orisha Play,[1] is a Yoruba festival unique to Lagos, Nigeria and has a strong historical footing in Iperu-Remo, a town in Ikenne Local Government, Ogun State. [2] In modern times, it is presented by the people of Lagos as a tourist event and[3] due to its history, is traditionally performed on Lagos Island.[4] A notable festival date was in 2000 commemorating Justice G.B.A. Coker, a Lagos high chief, the Olori Adimu and the Olori Eyo of the Adimu Eyo cultural masquerade.
