Isese la wa nbo n’Ife ka to rire(Ogunderin)

It is Ancient Religion we worship in Ife, the cradle of Yoruba Religion, before we receive goodness .
It started in 1987 when some enlightened people such as Oloye Sola Atanda, Asiwaju Awo Agbaye Ile Ife, Late Wale Egberongbe, Dr. Kolawole Komolafe, Barrister Owootomo Oluwo, Oloye Ademola Ifabunmi, Erinmi of Lagos Mainland, late Chief Mrs Sotubo, Ajigbeda of Lagos, the mother of Seyi Sotubo Seyi and my humble self, Oloye Awodiran Agboola, the Araba of Oworonsoki Kingdom, Lagos Nigeria suggested to my father, Oloye Akano Fasina Agboola, late Araba of Lagos, that we should observe a day for all traditional religious groups to celebrate together.

 

My father was the President of Ancient Religious Societies of African Descendants Association(ARSADA) registered under Companies ordinance, chapter 38 on 20th day of March, 1957 and Gazetted in Federation of Nigeria official Gazette No 22 Vol.46 of 2nd April, 1957 known as RC/37/59/5.
My father approved the proposal which we tagged “The Universal Day for African Traditional Religious Festival(Isese Day).
ARSADA has now metamorphosed to Association of African Traditional Religious Practioners, Nigeria and Overseas.(AATREN). Past Presidents after my father include Oloye Gbededo, Oloye S. S Abereoje, Oloye N.A.O Dosunmu, Paramount Apena of Lagos, Oloye Bolaji Naibi. They have all joined their ancestors. The incumbent President is Oloye Ifasegun Elegushi Elegushi, Opemoluwa of Ikateland. It is my pleasure to have served as the Secretary-general during the years of the late Presidents. I am still performing the functions presently.
I am happy to be witnessing the celebration of the day we picked(August 20 of every year) in all parts of the world.
I wish you all happy festival tomorrow, 20th August 2016.
Isese lagba, lotito Isese lagba
Ancient Religion is second to none.
Stay blessed.
From Araba of Oworonsoki Kingdom, Lagos Nigeria.
