Welcome to kings day 2024. We are thankful that you have chosen to make the pilgrimage to the historical kingdom. This year has been full of promising endeavors that will secure our place in history and our collective cherished future. Despite the challenges we all face we must see our selves as one people with a unified destiny. We must build together and share our wealth amongst each other. The time is now! As our children rise in age so must the institutions which support their futures. From coast to coast we must build communities and schools that will teach the history, culture and the various skills and trades of our ancestors. Let’s work together to see this come to fruition. My beloved kingdom is at the forefront of preserving Yoruba traditions in America. It is my dream that we will alll work together for the benefit of the children and rebuild and maintain this sacred kingdom. the wealth is at our door step. In conclusion I would like to thank the gods and the ancestors. And remember “if you have a culture you have economics”, let’s put our plans into action.
