50th Nigerian Independence Events

1. IJESAS took to the street of Manhattan for the Nigeria Golden Independence Day Parade. Proud to be a Nigerian of Ijesa- Yoruba heritage. HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY NIGERIA!

This years Nigerian Independence Day Parade organized by the Organization for Advancement of Nigeria brought a lot of nostalgia for the good old days in Nigeria. The Ijesas always proud of their Nigerian Yoruba heritage were not left behind. In this video they took their place among other proud Diasporan Nigerians as they dance to traditional drums of Baba Ibeji Onilu group with Adamo music lead by Niyi Ajetomobi the Aladamo of Ijesa.

After the Parade, the Ijesas took it to the square on 47th street in Manhattan, NY with traditional drums to the admiration of all. In this video, the Otun Owaseye of Ilesa Chief Jide Odeyemi cheers Aladamo Ijesa Niyi Ajetomobi as he danced to the beat. Attorney Janet Fashakin, Mrs Deborah Obideyi and a proud African lady also took to the dancing floor with the Chief himself.

The Ijesas of the Yoruba ethnic group of Nigeria, (aka "the Osomalos") are specially bred and well endowed people, vast in colorful traditions, very industrious, arrogantly honest, unapologetically educated and unashamedly hardworking.

Please take a tour of Ijesaland with me courtesy of Princeayo (UK) 2010. Ijesaland, a tourist attraction land and a place for you to establish your business. Wa ba Jesa sere, omo Obokun, Wa ba Jesa sere omo Obokun...
