Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has said there are indications that God is not happy with the present situation in the country, insisting also that the 21-day programmes slated for the Eledumare Festival were to honour and appease the Almighty God.
Adams made the disclosure at a briefing in Ikeja, Lagos while unveiling the programmes for the celebration of the 2022 edition of Eledumare Festival in Lagos.
The Yoruba generalissimo, who is also the Chief Promoter of Olokun Festival Foundation (OFF), added that Eledumare Festival has spiritual potentials to trigger both economic prosperity and progress, if only the country can toe the line of honour and ensure justice at all levels.
Iba Adams, who said the call for restructuring came as the saving grace to salvage the country from imminent collapse, argued that the presidency and the power brokers had failed to heed the calls.
“We can hardly make meaningful progress with the present situation of the country. Things are going the wrong way on a daily basis and those that are in the best position to help salvage the nation from imminent collapse have lost touch with the people at the grassroots”.
Director of event, Olokun Festival Foundation (OFF), Ambassador Muyiwa Osinaike, while giving insights into the various events slated for the festival, said this year’s festival is the 10th edition in the series, adding that the various activities of the programme would hold daily for 21 days and climax with the Grand finale in April.
“God has been so wonderful to us as an organisation. Olokun Festival Foundation under our amiable leader and father, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has chosen to celebrate the most high God, Eledumare,in the most special way,with various activities holding at different locations ceaselessly for 21 days”
“If OFF can always celebrate our deities through other festivals,why not celebrating God, who is the creator of both heaven and earth in the most special way?”
So, the festival will go on for three weeks, specifically 21 days as our own little way to honour and appease the most high God”
“Part of the programmes slated for this year Eledumare festival include prayer to almighty God,visits to the Widows,Orphanage homes,Old People’s homes and Arts Gallery, Photo exhibitions,Soccer Beach, Yoruba Quiz competition, fashion show,Table tennis, Taekwondo, Ayo-Olopon competition,and Festival float that heralds the Grand finale in April”.All these activities would be held daily in the various locations.They are put together to celebrate God in the most amazing way”, Osinaike posited.
