why you should not visit Ido Ekiti between the 20th and 25th of November 2023..
?
Honestly speaking, I don't know why. Walai! If there is any town in Nigeria that you must visit, especially within the 20th to 25th of November, it must be Ido Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Ido Ekiti is the headquarters of Ido Osi Local Government and is blessed to have a cosmopolitan person as the King, Oba Ayorinde Ilori Faboro, who is also the Chairman of the Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers. Furthermore, it is the town that hosts the Great Ekiti Parapo College and accommodates one of the best Federal Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria, led by the respected Prof Kunle Ajayi. Ido Ekiti is also home to many great and distinguished personalities such as Prince Akintunde Olayisade Senator Cyril Fasuyi, the first to be elected a Senator in Ido Ekiti, Hon Barrister Olofinlade , Pastor Olu Alo, Tunde Ajayi(T-Cash), Engr. Segun Adekuajo, Doc. Kayode Akinlade, Dr. Bolatito Obisesan, Doc. Dapo Ayeni, Hon. Sola Ogunsina, Hon. Biodun Fawekun , Prof Kayode Familoni, Dr John Moyo Ope Ekundayo (one of the best Leadership Teachers in Nigeria), Biodun Abe (one of the best Artistic Directors in Nigeria), Terry Adewale (an immigration lawyer based in the UK), and many others."
it is only a wicked soul who will counsel you not to visit this glorious town which will celebrate Ajodun Ido during the days above. If you are not in Ido Ekiti on these days, particularly on Wednesday 22nd when Ido Ekiti will exhibit all food items made from corn, and Friday 24th when Ido will put on an extraordinary street carnival and crown it at night with Arewa Ido Ogagan, and on the 25th which will be the Grand finale. Apart from these lofty programs, anybody who visits Ido on these days will have the opportunity to see and visit the following:
1. The first car to be owned, purchased, and driven by an Ekiti Oba.
2. The first one-story palace to be built by an Oba in Ekiti.
3. The picture of the first Oba to own a car and build the first one-story palace in Ekiti.
4. And one of the first obelisks ever planted on Ekiti soil.
You can see why you must be in Ido Ekiti from 20th to 25th November. See you there and meet the history of the first Oba Ekiti to buy a car and live in the first-storey palace."
