Eagle Aromatic Schnapps reaffirmed its dedication to promoting Nigerian culture and heritage by sponsoring the Ayo Olopon competition at the 36th annual Lisabi Festival in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Held in honor of Lisabi, the Egba hero renowned for liberating his people from the rule of the ancient Oyo Kingdom, the festival attracts numerous cultural enthusiasts every year.

As part of its sponsorship, Eagle Aromatic Schnapps awarded cash prizes and gifts to the top three male and female winners of the Ayo Olopon competition, a traditional Yoruba game known for its strategic and intellectual challenges. Tofunmi Opaleye, Category Manager at Intercontinental Distillers Limited, presented the rewards and commended the winners for their skillful gameplay. He highlighted that Ayo Olopon is not only culturally significant but also beneficial for its players, as it fosters quick thinking, decision-making, and resilience.

Opaleye stated, “Congratulations to all the winners. Ayo Olopon is a game that promotes a positive mindset, encouraging players to think quickly, make sound decisions, and persevere to the end.” He further encouraged participants who didn’t win to view the competition as a learning experience and to continue improving their skills, promising an even grander event next year.

Eagle Aromatic Schnapps’ involvement in the Lisabi Festival underscores its commitment to preserving and celebrating Nigeria’s rich cultural traditions through active participation and community support.
