A multi ethnic Nigeria, has a very rich cultural and spiritual heritage many which last been lost due to the influence of modern civilisation and westernisation.. Our progenitors from Atlantis handed all this over to us, but we apparently lost it all.. 2 Likes |

As a university student in the early 2000s, I was returning for a semester in Ogbomoso from Ibadan when we encountered a massive road blockage due to a trailer breakdown on the old Oyo route. Our driver made a detour to enable us reach our destination on time. We passed through lonely roads surrounded by forests. Along the way, I noticed a signboard with the inscription "Ilu awon aje" or "Ilu Aje" .I asked one of my fellow passengers who was not a student while a town will be named after witches. He stated that the inhabitants are now trying to change it to "Ilu Aje", a tonal deviation which means " Town of Wealth". 2 Likes |
