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

Mike, Oba Akeem Adesayan, the Alara of Ilara is over fifty years on the throne; Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebu Ode is Over Fifty year; Ajalorun of Ijebu Life is over two decads.

 Mike, i can assure you the Oba and the palace are still very much around. The Oba was just a year on the throne when you visited last. There was an attempt by the Agagu government to renovate the old palace though not much came out of it. I hope both the state and Federal governments will exploit the tourist potentials of the site to the fullest.

 Nostalgic!
 The last time I was there was 1977 - all of African Studies
 folks at the then Unife went there and we made it to the
 peak. There used to be an Oba's palace at the very top
 of this legendary Idanre Hill; I wonder if it's still
 there. That was where we met the Oxford trained historian,
 the Oba. He probably must have joined his fathers, since the
 Yoruba Obas are rarely known for their longevity. Thanks a
 bunch for sharing . . .

 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.
