Women in Imolè Festival in Àkókó Area of Oǹdó State, South West, Nigeria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Much work had been carried out on the role of women in Yoruba traditional festivals. However, sufficient attention had not been given to female-dominated festivals especially in Akoko area of Oǹdo State, South-West, Nigeria. This study examines the role and place of women in the society as depicted in Imole festival (a female-dominated festival) in the identified geographical location. The theoretical framework is based on traditionalist approach and womanist theory. Traditionalist approach deals with the culture of the society while womanism focuses on women and their rights in the society. Our findings show that women play a very significant and relevant role in the religious life of their people as ritual specialists, food providers, entertainers and peace-loving people. The paper concludes that women are not evil objects; they are created for good and harmony of human life. It is therefore suggested that women should see the traditional image of the women as depicted in Imole festival as a challenge to womanhood, and in particular the Nigerian women. Women should maintain the few good attributes of uprightness and vivacity and should use woman diplomacy productively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
