Congratulations

A HEARTFELT MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION FROM QUEEN IFEOLUWA ONAARA ADEWOLE, THE OGE-EPOSO 2026/27

With a heart full of gratitude, I sincerely appreciate His Royal Majesty Oba Mukaila Akanji Olabinjo (Luwo Abejoye II), the Oloris, the Baales, the Olorituns, the Chiefs, the Eposo Development Council (EDC), the 3rd Eposo Day Organizing Committee (LOC), and all the sons and daughters of Eposo Remo, at home and abroad, for your love, support, and the honor bestowed upon me.

Being crowned OGE EPOSO (winner of the Oge Eposo Traditional Beauty Pageant) is a privilege and a call to serve that I will never take for granted. I promise to carry this crown 👑 with humility, dignity, and a sincere commitment to serving my community selflessly.

Additionally, I hope to use this opportunity to encourage our youth to embrace self-development, preserve our culture, and contribute positively to the growth of Eposo Remo.

As your Queen 👑, my reign will prioritize educational support, such as organizing school outreach programs, skill acquisition, and entrepreneurial projects. Lastly, I will promote potential discovery and intellectual growth among the youth.

I will surely do my best to make Eposo Remo proud, and that cannot be achieved without your support. As Eposo Remo needs the best from me, I need your all-time support, encouragement, guidance, and prayers.

Once again, I express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has supported and believed in me. I pray 🙏 that Almighty God bless our leaders and everyone who continues to support the progress of our beloved community, Eposo Remo.

Thank you all for believing in me.
God bless Eposo Remo.
God bless us.

Yours, in Community Representation,

QUEEN IFEOLUWA ONAARA ADEWOLE

3RD ANNUAL EPOSO REMO DAY FESTIVAL 2026
APPRECIATION LETTER

With a heart filled with profound gratitude and joy, I, His Royal Majesty, Alayeluwa Oba MUKAILA AKANJI OLABINJO, LUWO ABEJOYE II, THE ELEPOSO OF EPOSO REMO, my entire family, and indeed all Eposo sons and daughters sincerely appreciate everyone who contributed to the success of the 2026 Annual Eposo Remo Day Festival.

From Wednesday, 14th October, when we embarked on the memorable journey to Ogbe Stream which was followed by the historical display by Agemo and Borowa Eposo, through Thursday, 15th October, when the colourful Egungun display brought life and splendour to our community, to Friday, 16th October, which featured Apo Aanu Eposo (distribution of palliatives), Spelling Bee and Inter-School Debate, Juma'h Prayer, Novelty Football Match and Ere Osupa which has a colorful Igunnuko performance, the festival was a remarkable celebration of our rich cultural heritage, unity, and communal spirit.

The grand finale on Saturday, 17th October, was particularly historic, with the official commissioning of the Eposo Ultra-Modern Town Hall and Eposo Community School by His Imperial Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, CFR, Torungbuwa II, the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remo Land.

This landmark occasion will remain a memorable milestone in the history and development of our beloved community.

I am deeply overwhelmed by the remarkable show of love, solidarity, commitment, and support demonstrated by our sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora, traditional rulers, distinguished guests, friends of Eposo, and all well-wishers who participated in and supported this year's celebration. Your presence, contributions, moral and financial, and goodwill messages made the festival a resounding success.

My special appreciation goes to the Eposo Development Council (EDC) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the 2026 Eposo Remo Day Festival for their dedication, tireless efforts, meticulous planning, and commitment to ensuring the success of every activity.

Your invaluable contributions are sincerely appreciated.

To everyone who contributed financially, materially, morally, and in various other ways, I say a heartfelt thank you. May the Almighty God reward your generosity, bless your homes, prosper your endeavours, and grant you all reasons to celebrate greater achievements in the years ahead.

As we look forward to future celebrations, may the bonds of love, peace, unity, and progress that define our great community continue to grow stronger. Together, let us preserve our cultural heritage, promote development, and build a more prosperous Eposo Remo for generations yet to come.

Once again, I thank you all for making the 2026 Annual Eposo Remo Day Festival a memorable and historic celebration.

EPOSO! BAAGEE!!!
Ilu Eposo Onibaje O

Long live Eposo Remo!
Long live Remo Land!
Long live Ogun State!

Yours in Eminence,

His Royal Majesty, Alayeluwa Oba MUKAILA AKANJI OLABINJO LUWO ABEJOYE II, The Eleposo of Eposo Remo.

Christie Ade Ajayi: The Educator Who Brought Nigerian Stories into Children’s Books

Chief Mrs Christie Ade Ajayi, born Christie Aduke Martins on 13 March 1930 in Ile-Oluji, present-day Ondo State, is a Nigerian educator and children’s author whose work helped shape early childhood education and children’s literature in Nigeria.

She attended Kudeti Girls’ School in Ibadan, now St Anne’s School, before training as a teacher at the United Missionary College, Ibadan. Her commitment to education took her abroad for further studies, including a Diploma in Child Development from the Institute of Education in London in 1958 and a qualification in elementary school administration and leadership from San Jose State University, California, in 1971.

Between 1952 and 1978, she taught in schools in Nigeria and London, eventually becoming a headmistress. Her classroom experience exposed her to a challenge facing young Nigerian readers: many children’s learning materials did not reflect their everyday lives, communities and cultural experiences.

She responded by writing books that placed Nigerian children and familiar settings at the centre of learning. Her works include Ade, Our Naughty Little Brother, The Old Story-Teller and Akin Goes to School, co-authored with Michael Crowder. Through these stories, she helped make reading more relatable while introducing children to local experiences and traditions.

Her contribution extended beyond writing. In 1986, she established the Ibadan branch of the World Organization for Early Childhood Education, known by its French acronym, OMEP. She also contributed to efforts to strengthen international cooperation in early childhood education, including the organisation’s World Assembly in Lagos in 2009.

Christie married the eminent historian Professor Jacob Festus Adeniyi Ajayi in 1956. Remembered for her dedication to teaching, culturally relevant learning and children’s literature, she has helped generations of young Nigerians find their experiences reflected in the books they read.
