Participants and guests at the ongoing National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) in Lagos were thrilled during the Command Performance of a dance drama titled, ‘Osusu’, at the National Institute for Sports, Surulere.
The dance drama focuses on the need for Nigerians to consciously work toward living together peacefully. In Yoruba language, Osusu means bunch of brooms that can be difficult to break. It symbolises unity and an unbreakable bond among Nigeria’s component ethnic nationalities.
Osusu prescribes a way for Nigerians to be solidly united. The performance had the cast render music in different indigenous languages, sensitising Nigerians to the fact that they do must jettison greed, pride, nepotism, moral decadence and crime.
