The International Council for Ifa Religion (ICIR) has lauded the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, for his profound dedication to safeguarding and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Oduduwa. This commendation follows the Ooni's significant donation of three acres of land for the establishment of the World Ifa Temple, a project poised to become the largest pilgrimage site for Yoruba traditional worshippers globally.
In a letter of appreciation, the President of the ICIR, Dr. Fayemi Fatunde Fakayode, expressed immense gratitude for what he described as a "good and historic gesture" from His Imperial Majesty. "On behalf of the Council of Araba and Oluwo, we thank His Imperial Majesty for this good and historic gesture," the letter read.
The donated land, strategically located near the Stadium Area, Route 7, Ile-Ife, is currently undergoing preparation for the ambitious construction. Dr. Fakayode highlighted the clear demonstration of the Ooni's commitment through this action, stating, "With this step, Ooni’s commitment to preserving and promoting Oduduwa’s cultural heritage and spirituality is obvious to all."
He further emphasized the transformative potential of the upcoming temple, affirming that it will serve as a pivotal center for Oduduwa's spirituality. "This project is going to be the largest World Ifa Temple across the world," Fakayode declared, underscoring the global significance of the initiative.
The establishment of the World Ifa Temple is expected to attract traditional worshippers and enthusiasts from across the globe, solidifying Ile-Ife's position as a spiritual Mecca for the Yoruba diaspora and fostering a deeper appreciation for indigenous African spiritual practices. The Ooni's continued efforts are seen as a vital step in ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of Oduduwa's legacy for generations to come.
