TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
There is an annual
festival celebrated in Osun state,south western Nigeria, called the Osun
Osogbo festival. This festival is celebrated along the Osun river,where
by thousands of people come from different states all over the
country,especially from Lagos state. Traditionally it is believed it
cures ailments,hence you see people using gallons to fetch the river
water,bathing there and others offering sacrifices to the gods.
This is
however not a good time,with the current outbreak of Ebola virus,not
only will a large crowd mingle,the fetching of the water is equally
dangerous most especially now.
If there are talks to
extend schools resuming in the country,i think this situation is
equally urgent. The festival should be delayed until the Ebola virus is
contained in Nigeria,otherwise,we might have a serious case of possibly
Ebola outbreak!
This year's festival is scheduled to hold next week Friday,August 22nd 2014.
*PLEASE PASS THIS
MESSAGE ON UNTIL IT REACHES THE POWERS THAT BE AND THIS FESTIVAL IS
POSTPONED....WE DO NOT WANT A NATIONAL CRISIS RIGHT NOW!
