Let’s be honest, if you ask most Nigerians about Ekiti, the first thing they’ll probably say is, “Ah, that’s the land of professors !” And they’re right. But lately, Ekiti seems to be proving that we can do more than just produce brilliant minds; we can also produce magic, the kind that flows through waterfalls, dances on hills, and hums through the laughter of our people. That’s why the air in Ado-Ekiti felt different that day — like the state itself knew something historic was about to happen. The banners fluttered with pride, the drums rolled in rhythm, and smiles stretched wide as the world witnessed the official launch of Visit Ekiti , a visionary tourism initiative birthed by Mr. Ogunro Ayodeji Success. It wasn’t your typical event with empty speeches and handshakes. This one carried purpose. It carried pride. It carried the heartbeat of a people who have decided that their story deserves to be told, loudly and beautifully. Representing the Spokesman of th...

(A long read, but worth your time, please read to the end.) I once listened to one of the preachings of Apostle Joshua Selman titled “ The Spirit of Envy ” which he gave in Kenya last year August.

There are moments in life that remind us why giving back to our roots is not just a duty, but an honour. For me, Isan Unity Day 2024 was one of those defining moments. Standing before my people, I had the privilege of unveiling the Isan-Ekiti Logo, a symbol that represents our identity, our unity, and the pride of who we are as a people. I remember announcing that day that before the next Isan Unity Day, we would also have an official website, a digital home that would connect us all, preserve our heritage, and open doors of opportunities for our youths. That night, I returned home with mixed emotions, the excitement of the vision, but also the weight of its possibility. I wondered how it would all come together. But today, I am overjoyed to say that what began as a dream has become reality. The Isan-Ekiti official website, www.isanekiti.com , is ready to be launched at this year’s Isan Unity Day celebration. This remarkable achievement would not hav...
