Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - IDANRE: Nigeria's treasure

Oga TOFA, it is delightful that you at last went to my birthplace. It will be delightful to know if you can make it to the top of the hills and see the ancient settlement with the picturesque scenery. At your age this may not be amusing as my who has been climbing since my youth did not find it funny the last time i climbed to go and greet the Kabiyesi who in spite of his age still makes it.I can assure that if you make,you may be tempted to start your career denauvo.

To conclude TOFAC 2017, the Adeyemi College of
Education arranged a visit to the famous city of Idanre,
with its hills and rocks, mysteries and mythologies. A
delight for religious people, if you go to the very top,
after climbing hundreds of steps, you
may see God Himself—or the lesser gods and goddesses,
and, forgive me, Jesus Christ, too! I could have climbed to
the top—"no shaking!" but the rain threatened;
darkness warned. I will go back—I will certainly do.
 I want to see miracles of the living past,
and the Holy Ghost of the dead present!!!



After stage three, the entire town opens up to you in
its entire glory. Nigeria is full of wonders, a great land
with treasures and amazingly wonderful and friendly
people.
