thefisayohambolu: Alright so on my way to sister(http://koolkitten.tumblr.com/)’s uniform fitting, I saw these two people who are supposedly man &son on the road; I pointed them out to my mum’s driver and asked why they were dressed like that.& to my surprise, I was told they’re “Ogun worshippers” ie people who worship the Yoruba god of iron.  So I present to you, Traditional Ogun Worshippers
