Did You Know There Was A Town In Nigeria That Disappeared in a Day? You didn't? Okay; In 1957, the entire village of Araromi-Oke disappeared without a trace. The only thing left was the town square and one stubborn goat. What happened to the people? A mystery still unsolved till today. In the old Western Region of Nigeria, there was a town known as Araromi-Oke; a quiet, thriving Yoruba settlement between Oyo and Osun. Farmers lived there. Hunters came there to worship Ogun. But one morning in 1957, neighboring villagers discovered the town was gone. Not destroyed. Not attacked. Just emptied. Houses were intact. Pots still boiling. Palm wine still fresh in calabashes. But not a single soul was found. Till date, no bodies, no signs of struggle, no mass relocation record. Some say the villagers had a covenant with a deity they broke. Others say the land was cursed and it reclaimed its people. Whatever happened to Araromi-Oke remains one of Nigeria’s strangest mysteries. My father once told me about this town. But I had totally forgotten, until research led me there again. #YorubaHistory Copied from #OzoneTales
