EYO OLOKUN IN LAGOS

Eyo Olokun in Lagos, Yorubaland. Eyo Olokun is connected with Olokun, the Yoruba Orisha of the sea. It works closely with other Deities to herald the way for those that pass to ancestorship, as it plays a critical role in between Iku and Aye and the transition of human beings and spirits between these two existences.
