Huge buzz of excitement overflowed and overwhelmed the entire 65 acres of La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort at Ibeju-lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, few days ago, when an August personality, Professor Remi Duyile, the first female African, ever to become the Vice President of Bank of America, arrived in style, early in July, for IPADA and IPADA CARNIVAL celebrations, which is scheduled for November 29th – December 8th, 2024 and November 28th – December 7th, 2025.
Professor Remi Duyile who is also a top lecturer in one of the top most universities in America, is a leading voice of Motherland Beckons and the famous IPADA movement in the United States of America.
Among other things, Professor Remi Duyile is in Nigeria, with regards to a general preparation and planning of upcoming IPADA CARNIVAL to be celebrated at foremost beach resort in Africa (La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort).
The US based Professor inspected the beach venue, along with all the new additions to host the expected Returnees as they arrive daily for IPADA AND IPADA CARNIVAL.
Professor Remi Duyile was not only live in Lagos, but was also live in Ondo State, La Campagne Tropicana Forest, Hills And Cave Resort, where she was astonished to see the marvellous work done by the Founder, Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye; the total transformation of a mountain which has existed for centuries into a luxury, recreation, tourist site!
There has been much for the American returnee professor to see, and much information to take back home to the USA, as the eventual celebration is awaited, towards the end of the year.
‘Ipada’ is the response to the call of Motherland Beckons, which is a clarion call on Africans in Diaspora and lovers of Africa to come back and better their lot by taking advantage of all the possibilities available in African countries and by so doing, benefitting and helping growth of the continent of Africa.
Ipada is putting the entire continent of Africa in a single basket, making it very easy for Africans in Diaspora and lovers of Africa to connect with Africa through Nigeria, taking advantage of cruises at the Lagos deep seaport, when they heed the call and Return home to Africa. IPADA is the Yoruba word which means, ‘the Return.’
