A tribute to Oba Adejuyigbei Adefunmi, King of Oyotunji African Village, USA by Anago-Osho

Oh, forces of nature, envelop me in divine comfort. My beloved king, Kabiyesi Oba Adejuyigbe Adefunmi II, your passing leaves me in shock. Yet, I take solace in knowing your spirit remains with us forever. Your dreams of preserving our heritage, uniting Africa and the diaspora, and empowering the youth shall endure. You graciously opened the village to those seeking understanding, continuing your father's legacy with kindness and humility. I'm honored to have met your sister during my Nigerian history tour and to have shared my 2003 tribute song to your father with you. Your dedication to Yoruba culture and heritage preservation is inspiring. May your family, in Oyotunji and worldwide, find comfort in the knowledge that your memory and legacy will live on through us." May this tribute be a fitting celebration of your life and legacy.  Anago-Osho
