The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has donated three acres of land to the International Council for Ifa Religion for the construction of the World Ifa Temple.

This was aimed at promoting its activities and establishing the largest pilgrimage site for Yoruba traditional worshippers across the world.

The ICIR announced this in a statement released by its President, Fayemi Fakayode, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Wednesday.

Fakayode said, “This gesture of our referred first class Oba has demonstrated his love for tradition and Yoruba culture and spirituality.

“On behalf of the Council of Araba and Oluwo, under the Chairmanship of His Eminence, Awodotun Aworeni, the Araba/Olu-Isese Agbaye and all practitioners of Ifa and Orisa Worldwide, we thank His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, for this good and historic gesture.

“With this step, Ooni’s commitment to preserving and promoting Oduduwa’s cultural heritage and spirituality is obvious to all to see.
“This project is going to be the largest World Ifa Temple across the world, and it will serve as a major pilgrimage site for practitioners of Oduduwa’s spirituality across the globe.”

He said the three acres of land are located around the Stadium Area, Route 7, Ile-Ife, Osun State, and work has begun on the site.

It will be recalled that ICIR, whose headquarters is located at Oke-Itase, Ile Ife, had recently requested the land for the construction of what the body tagged “the Largest World Ifa Temple” in Ile Ife.

Wao, that's thoughtful of him. Better than wait for the whites to build it in America and then tell us to travel down to read and learn about our own history in a strange land.

A true protector of African tradition, weldone sir.



-Kiss the truth!

I hope Ifa worshippers will come from around the world to worship at the temple the same way FG spent more than N90 billion financing Mecca and Medina trips for hajj. At least Ifa will lead to inflow of USD into the country.

Choose ye this day whom ye shall worship! As for me and my family we will worship the God of Heaven and Earth, the I am that I am, God the creator of heaven and earth,

Let the traditional worship begin

Yes ooo

Onirisa... Kabiesi o

If you are not a religious person but a traditionalist in Nigeria you are perceived to be a God hater and a person destined for damnation.

Can a Religious cleric become an Ooni and do something like this.
I don’t think so.

Good move. The arabs forced their god on us as slaves and we forget that we had our own way of doing things just like them.

No man can serve two masters

Luk 16:13 KJV No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You are either for Jesus or for the idols

The bible and quran has more ritualism of blood. They are both basically based on redemption through blood.

It will be nice to see people from all over the world come Nigeria for pilgrimage!
