📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Gologo festival, also known as the Golib festival, is a pre-harvest festival celebrated in the month of March or early April, at the end of the dry season before the sowing of the early millet. The Gologo Festival is among the major festivals in Ghana and is celebrated by the chiefs and peoples of Tallensi, Tong-Zuf, in the Upper East Region of the country, serving "to reinforce the community belief in the Nnoo shrine or Golib god", which regulates Talensi agricultural life. During the festival, sacrifices are offered to seek protection and ensure plentiful rain and a good harvest in the coming season from the earthly gods.
