“You have immortalized yourself with this structure and other good works you have been doing for our race, Oduduwa and other ancestors of ours are currently watching and I am sure that they are proud of you.
“We can’t but keep thanking the Almighty Olodumare for your good life which you have dedicated to prompt service to humanity. On behalf of the Yoruba race and the entire Oduduwa people worldwide, I thank you for giving us this unique gift.” The Ooni noted.

According to a breakdown given by Akogun Kola Onadipe while presenting the model of the building before the happy crowd, the Oodua Heritage House when completed will have a museum where Yoruba artifacts and other historical materials will be kept and displayed for local and foreign tourists.
Also, it will contain a fully equipped Yoruba library for knowledge seekers, an open field for events and sporting activities as well as an Imperial Banquet Hall among others.
To realize the targeted 12 months for its completion, at least one thousand skilled workers like surveyors, carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers and others are set to begin work on the site with about their two thousand unskilled counterparts.
Former Governor of Ogun State, Aremo olusegun Osoba, Asiwaju of Ife Chief Alex Duduyemi and Chief Rasak Okoya were among the dignitaries at the event, while the Akarigbo of Remo, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, Olu of Yewa Oba Kehinde Olugbenle and other top Yoruba monarchs were present at the event preceding the installation of Kessington as the Odole Oodua.
Ooni Ogunwusi will install Sir Adebutu Kessington as the Odole Oodua after completion of necessary traditional rites on Saturday at his palace, in an event scheduled to be fully attended by top personalities across the country and beyond.

Hmmm
Build am on top water
Na your problems be that

We thank that man, Ooni needs to encourage people like these that are making effort to sustain our culture.

Please Ooni build a huge palace please that people can travel to come and see from abroad like Buckingham palace. Your palace is not attracting enough visitors sir. Osun government needs to look into that.

Iperu Remo pride. Sir Adebutu is one of the few Nigerian that I respect, very down to earth

Ooni is really trying in showcasing, promoting and preserving the Yoruba heritage. God bless him.

Long live the king

Ooni is an estate developer and as you can see he is not sleeping in that aspect in Ile-Ife. Last time he was building resort in Ife, built Yoruba museum. I am sure he'd have thought about this modern palace of a thing buh i'm thinking it might not really be easy to destroy or think of renovating this very present palace, there will probably be needs for sacrifices and all.

Buh sincerely i really want a modern palace for both Ooni and Alaafin.

The 6 states government can come together to achieve this

After Oshogbo

Good development. God bless me too so I can able to do more than this to my race .And build one moght monument at Ilorin name it after the great warrior Afonja.

After Oshogbo
Which of ile ife ede Iwo and ilesha is more developed

i think both Ilesha and Ile-ife. They even both have more population than osogbo respectively. Osogbo is just lucky to be the capital if not i see both ilesa and ife more developed.

What about ede and Iwo?
Can ile ife and Ilesha have development equal to that of Oshogbo?
Answer those two questions

What about ede and Iwo?
Can ile ife and Ilesha have development equal to that of Oshogbo?
Answer those two questions

ede is just there, good infrastructure like good roads and like every other osun towns and cities, good power supply buh can't really compare it with both Ilesa and Ile-Ife and i have never been to Iwo.

I have never been to Osogbo too buh been to both Ife and Ilesha. So i really can't tell if both city can equal osogbo in terms of development buh i know both(ilesa and Ile-Ife) city can pass as the heart and centre of Osun state.
