Ilé Ọ̀rìsà!!!

Ilé Ọ̀rìsà!!!

That’s what an admirer called the Òyẹ̀kú Méjì suite at the Àkòdì Òrìṣà.

She used the Ile Ife dialect, Ilé Ọ̀rìsà. It is different from the Oyo dialect of Ilé Òrìṣà.

But it is absolutely appropriate that it is called Ilé Ọ̀rìsà, because it is located in Ile Ife.

The Ọ̀yẹ̀kú Méjì is a living suite, and it was where I stayed for six weeks when I was in Nigeria.

It is an amazing suite for meditation.

We had an air conditioner installed, and gave it a protective crown, to keep it pristine forever and evermore.

HATE AND LOVE ARE BROTHER AND SISTER

ByMoyo Okediji

I ran into one of my childhood friends in Ile Ife two years ago. He is now a university professor.

We decided to go and get a drink and as we started drinking, we discussed the pleasures of living together in the same house as children for many years.

We all lived together as one family in that house.

He was the son of Baba Alhaji, the landlord.

2: The Return

He was flying back “home” for the first time in his life.

At thirty-six, he felt that he had waited a little too long.

But better late than never: this is the moment he had been waiting for all his life.

He peeped out through the window of the aircraft as it descended toward their landing, with the building, vehicles and roads becoming bigger and bigger as the plane drew nearer the landing ground.
