A memorable day 1 The day that I witnessed the Celebration of Osun Osogbo shrine festival was a memorable day to me. I was living in the hostel of a school that was owned by a chief in Osogbo and the school was close to the place where the shrine rituals were performed, and the festival celebrated.
