The Fact That Adó Ewi Is The Home Of Òrúnmìlà Is Undisputable.

Although, we all known that Ile-Ife is the cradle of all Yoruba race, and it is a sacred town that all the deities descended to, so any orisa can be celebrated there, but when they lived many years in otu Ifè, some deities migrated to another town and some remained, so Òrúnmìlà migrated to Adó-Ekiti and he was honoured and accepted there like they did for Òsun in Osogbo.

There is one corpus of ifá that said when Òrúnmìlà reached Adó, he met them in agony and he asked them that which orisa are they worshipping here? And they replied him there is none, Òrúnmìlà then instructed them to go and pick some hard stone(ako okuta) for him, and they picked it for him, Òrúnmìlà told them to close their eyes and they did, Òrúnmìlà threw the stones to the right and left hand side and he told them to open their eyes, when they open their eyes, Òrúnmìlà instructed them again to go and be picking the hard stones that he spread on the ground, when they were picking it, it has turn to sacred nuts, Òrúnmìlà told them to put it inside opon(wodden pot) and he told them that that is the orisa they must be worshipping.

So, let us hear what the holy corpus of ogbeweyinwo said about the Adó-Ekiti as a paternal and maternal home of Òrúnmìlà.
