@motherlandrtv: Did you know that you can tell an Eyo's "rank" just by the color of their hat? 🎩✨ ​While all Eyo masquerades wear the iconic white flowing robes (Agbada and Aropale), their Akete (hats) are the key to their identity. There are five main groups, each with a specific color: ​Adimu (Black): The highest-ranking and most senior Eyo. There is only one Adimu, and he is considered the most spiritually advanced. ​Laba (Red): Known as the "Police" of the groups, they ensure discipline. ​Oniko (Yellow): Symbolizing the raffia palm. ​Ologede (Green): Representing the banana tree. ​Agere (Purple): Often seen on stilts, adding a spectacular height to the procession. ​Bonus Tip: If you're attending the festival, remember the "No-Go" list! To show respect to the spirits, you must remove your shoes, hats, and glasses when an Eyo passes by. You also cannot smoke or use umbrellas near them.#MotherlandRTV #EYO #lagosstate #YorubaCulture
