  YES, you too can be different! I met a fine young man that makes and sells Locust Beans(commonly referred to as Iru). He is so passionate about this business which he runs out of Ado-Ekiti that he already has it branded as Iru Obe. Iru-Obe is an indigenous business which centres on the production of that distinct locust beans produced in Ekiti State. Bankole Iru-Obe,as I will like to call him, is a graduate of microbiology. He resigned from his well paying job with a top pharmaceutical company in Lagos to relocate to Ekiti State so as to start Iru production.  He was called crazy, family and friends were against this supposedly not so smart move but he stuck to his gun and still pursued his passion. Against all oppositions,Bankole ventured into production and today he has a story to tell. Tony Elumelu   Foundation believed in his idea and gave him $5000 as start up grant.

Elemi, Igede-Ekiti

Image
In virtually every Yoruba town, like many other places in Nigeria, there are different taboos which no one is allowed to violate freely. And anyone who violates such taboos does not go unpunished. Igede-Ekiti, headquarters of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State, is no exception to this rule, said its traditional ruler, Onigede of Igede- Ekiti, Oba James Aladelusi. Speaking with Daily Sun recently, the monarch listed the taboos of the town. Igede is one of the first towns founded in Ekiti land. The ancestor of the town, Ake and his wife, Erindo, migrated from Ile-Ife. The patriarch, according to Oba Aladelusi, had 16 children who grew up to become very powerful. After his death, the power struggle over who would ascend the throne led to a serious crisis, to the extent that they resorted to using diabolical means to fight one another. Legend has it that four of the children transformed into rivers, while some of the rest disappeared into the ground alive! Am...
