Age Group

In the village of Ogori and other regions within Kogi State, Nigeria, age groups are joyfully recognized and celebrated. The readiness for marriage is distinctly tied to the maturation of individuals, reflecting their gender roles. Moreover, there’s a strong cultural belief that being without a group or community signifies a lack of ambition. Whenever you venture out into the world, you naturally find yourself in the company of others. This painting vibrantly depicts the lively festivities surrounding the celebration of different age groups.
