The project, which promises lots of economic, political and socio-cultural benefits, seeks to draw global attention to the richness of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 culture and stimulate a sustainable healthy conversation and international collaborations.<\/p>\n<p>According to a statement by The House of Oduduwa, the unveiling ceremony will be followed by a four-day exhibition of antiquities, art recreations of divinities and treasures of ancestors of the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 people. \u201cThe cultural items slated for the exhibition will recall earliest and superb civilization of the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 people spread across the world and the place of pre-eminence of the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 people in the history of mankind. The cultural items combine to reinforce the belief that, indeed, humanity originated from Il\u00e9-If\u00e8?, the acclaimed origin of the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 people located in Southwest Nigeria,\u201d the statement added. The Museum project will enhance the promotion of the essence, values and beauty of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 cultural heritage; and it is aimed at attracting and coordinating various interests and groups across the globe for sustainable global peace and development initiatives that place emphasis on youth encouragement and development.<\/p>\n<p>The statement added that the mobile museum will serve as hub for the collection of diverse African cultural productions and knowledge-retrieval, knowledge-renewal and knowledge-production center for ancient African material and intellectual cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 Mobile Museum is committed to showcasing all these collections as part of the necessary reconstruction of the black man who increasingly is being scientifically proven to be the oldest specie of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>The museum, which is first of its kind, is set to pursue the following objectives: to recognize the strategic importance of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization\u2019s (UNESCO) acknowledgment of the great benefits in the collaboration between the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of the City of Rio de Janeiro and the Kingdom of If\u00e8?, Nigeria, for the establishment of a House of Heritage, the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 Heritage House, in Rio de Janeiro; to work for the reinforcement of \u201cthe historic ties of Brazil with Africa\u201d as recognized by the UNESCO; to valorize the \u201cmemory and the cultural diversity\u201d of Africa as a way of enlarging the scope of valorizing the memory and the cultural diversity at the Valongo Wharf, as inscribed on the World Heritage List in July, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>It is also to serve as the center for the collection, protection, exhibition, and promotion of antiquities, treasures and traditional art forms of Africa; to embark on initiatives that can restore and reinforce the dignity of the African person such as the uprooted in the diaspora; and to work in all possible ways for healthy global cultural interaction which will afford African and Africans the rare privilege of showcasing their cultures and histories; to encourage more collaborations (local and international) between O?\u00f2?ni of If\u00e8? and nations, institutions, organizations and individuals that may be interested in the preservation and promotion of African heritage and to promote rare positive virtues by which the Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 hero\/heroine is traditionally defined.<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of the value of good memories and personalities worthy of emulation, the museum project will equally be committed to honoring and celebrating persons who are of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 ancestry and who are known to have performed or attained great feats as a way of spurring other Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 descendants to enviable heights.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the unveiling ceremony will coincide with Brazil\u2019s 197th Independence Anniversary and thus provide a befitting celebration of her independence of September 7, 1822 on the continent of origin of millions of Brazilians.<\/p>\n<p>On the affinity between Oduduwa people and Brazil, the statement said that Brazil is the only country in the world with over 80 million Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 descendants as part of her population. It noted that as a country that has adopted Yor\u00f9b\u00e1 as official language (lingua franca), and the first country to collaborate with the House of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 on the promotion of African Heritage, the crucial place of Brazil in the project is worthy of note. \u201cIt is therefore appropriate that the museum project has been designed to have Il\u00e9-If\u00e8? and Brazil as its split base,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In furtherance of the restoration and promotion of Yoruba civilization across the globe, The House of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0 led by His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, in partnership with governments of Brazil, Cuba and over twenty other countries, has initiated Oduduwa Mobile Museum.
