All interested fellow should join us by 8:am tomorrow morning -*


A thousand years ago, between the 11th and 12th century, Adekola Telu, the conceiver of the first Iwo dream and son to the then Ooni of Ife ( Ooni Luwo Gbagida) may God bless her .... the first female King ever and the first and only female Oonirisa of the Owodo Royal family of Okerewe compound  migrated from Ile Oodua ( Ooni's Palace) in Ile-Ife to establish an empire in the abode of the parrots. Just like the scriptural  Moses, he was a sojourner for numerous years who never looked back and didn't get to his destination. It was a journey of no return for PRINCE Adekola Telu, who left Ile-Ife with a crown he was never to wear and not to stop till he find the abode of the only thing that speaks apart from human which happens to be the Parrot.

About a thousand years later, on Sunday 31 July 2016, I, the Oluwo of Iwoland King Dr Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi  who not by accident or coincidence but divine inspiration  has chosen the cognomen and patronym _Telu 1_ will be paying a royal visit to Okerewe in Ile-Ife. The visit will symbolise the triumphant return of Telu to the source of his crown and royalty. This time around, Oba Ilufemiloye Telu 1 will return back to his roots fulfilled and accomplished as a KING.

Oba (Dr) Adewale Akanbi Ilufemiloye Telu 1 will be making this trip not only to mark the return of Telu but to reconnect the dots in history and make it whole again. This step is necessary to renew the bond between the root and the shoot, a bond that has been disconnected naturally with the passing of time.

Iwoland must take its rightful position in Yorubaland and beyond. A crucial step towards achieving that is by reconnecting with our origin, the source of our crown.
