Over 100 emailed prayers and names from individuals and clans who were unable to travel down, toasts and testimonials at the tomb of Oba Waja was indeed
the highlight of the Igbega Alade Festival. Following the Vigil, an African cuisine of Egusi stew and fufu was served to guests in the Aafin (Palace).
Sunday concluded the Igbega Alade Festival with the society of Obatala Priests hosting a traditional Bembe in honor of HRH Oba Adefunmi I. The words provided
from HRM Oba Adejuyigbe Adefunmi II acknowledged “all things African”, our culture as our foundation and code of conduct for navigating life.
The experience of Igbega Alade launching the 2013 Oyotunji Afican Village is an ebo that now gives all who were in some way, shape or form connected, the ability to plot a course with focus and resolve; not just for the month of February, but for the 365 days to come.
