The Founder of Asun Carnival, Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye was there early in person, to ensure that all necessary details were taken care of, along with him were some officials in the state, friends who hold different portfolios in government.

And Asun Carnival took off with a funfair, the stadium full to the brim with different activities taking place all at the same time. Entertainers on the grand stage, footballers about to take the final football competition on the pitch warming up, the competitors for the Asun competition setting up to showcase their prowess, the gallantly dressed Carnival procession, waiting to display their colourful dance displays and the entire crowd was in an ecstatic frenzy this particular afternoon.

Asun Carnival had it so good this year, from entertainment presentations by campus music stars to the best of Atunda Entertainment stars! Olo Omidan Bata, who gave an extraordinary performance that shook the whole stadium. While the performance from Tasha, another Atunda Entertainment branded star kept everyone on the edge of their seats throughout the performance! Indeed a 5 star music performance. Then came Ara Thunder, the female drummer, the Ibo lady who plays gangan in Yoruba language! She capped the evening with an electrifying world class performance that delighted everyone at the stadium, as people fell over one another, to catch some of the recordings, on their phone cells.


A winner eventually emerged for the Asun competition, and so did a winner emerge at the annual Asun football final competition. The kick off by the founder of Asun Carnival and the representative of Oba Osemawe Kiladejo 1, Chief Akinbileje liyemoja of Ondo Kingdom set the stage for the winning team to emerge.

Asun Carnival 2024 had a flavour of human interest, with the Kolokun competition, where a goat was set free to be caught by the smartest racer from the massive crowd. So people came out, registered their names and partook in the hilarious, cheerful game. And it was in two part, the female and the male part. The winners went home with the goats that they caught!
