US Presidents use an American Cadilac called the Beast, President Putin uses Russian-made Aurus Senat, and Chinese President Xi uses a Hongqi L5.

Yesterday was the 25th Owu Festival, a day of royalty, pageantry, culture, tradition, & celebration of Owu people. The festival is an annual event that takes place every Oct in Abeokuta at Ori Omi town square, a prominent intersection in Abeokuta near the Ogun River & the statue of Iyalode. The square has a raised
