This is an adventure beyond the physical view around some selected locations in Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́, as collated by AIF MEDIA.
"Lówe-lówe làá lu ìlù àgídìgbo; ọlọ́gbọ́n ní í jó o, ọ̀mọ̀ràn ní mọ̀ ọ́. "
The Àgídìgbo drum is beaten proverbially; the wise dances to it and the sage understands it.
Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́ (not Ògbómọ̀shọ́ or otherwise) is a Yorùbá city known as an area of Savanna, and farmland in Ọ̀yọ́ State, South-western Nigeria. It is a trading centre for an agricultural region with five local governments area and seven local council development authorities.
It is a city next to Ìlọrin, Òṣogbo, Ìkòyí and Ọ̀yọ́ with many urban, rural and semi-urban communities. The Ọ̀yọ́ - Ìlọrin road is the main highway of the city.
Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́ was founded in the mid 17th century, and it was a minor outpost of the (Yorùbá) Old Ọ̀yọ́ Empire until the beginning of the Muslim Fulani conquests of Ọ̀yọ́ in the early 19th century. It had approximately 504,000 population in the 2018 census.
Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́ royal palace had a resident tortoise which was accepted to have lived for 344 years. The arguably oldest tortoise in the world, named Alàgbà, which means the elderly one, died after a brief illness in 2019.
In Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́, locally grown cotton is used for weaving the Yorùbá traditional cloth, aṣọ òkè; and a type of it known as sányán, a cloth woven from silk.
In the ancient time, the town is known for its wood artifacts and unique kòso drums, a type of drum specifically played for Sàngọ́. They also engaged themselves in fighting wars, and other professions like the indigo dyeing of cloth, which is performed exclusively by women.
