Pilgrimage to The Ancient City Ile-Ife, The Cradle of Mankind

"Pilgrimage to The Ancient City Ile-Ife, The Cradle of Mankind" was created under the "Pan-Afrikan Back To The Roots Project." This project was embarked upon during the "OONI'S US VISIT of 2016". Since the Ooni US Visit, over 40 African-Americans have been organized to visit Ile-Ife for the Olojo festival and the Ooni Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi's annual coronation from 2016 - 2018. This year, we plan to go with 100 African-Americans on a 3-Week tour to Ile-Ife and other important places to visit, such as the Obas under Odùduwà and the palaces, villages, and other tourist centers of Ootu Ife land. During the visit, we shall establish an estate area for the visitors as a means of return of our enslaved ancestors to the source.
