Did You Know?
Before festivals like Òlójó, the first true social event in Yoruba history was the Gathering at Ilé-Ifẹ̀.

When Odùduwà arrived in Ilé-Ifẹ̀, he didn’t just claim land, he united people. That first gathering wasn’t just about politics; it was a moment of connection, culture, and celebration. Music, dance, and unity filled the air as different groups came together for the first time.

While coronations and festivals later became more elaborate, this gathering laid the foundation for Yoruba social life.

At Trippers, we believe in honoring these roots because the past deserves a seat at the table as we embrace the present.
