The just-concluded Iwude Ijesa Unity Carnival saw a significant turnout of Ijesa sons and daughters from the diaspora, highlighting the event's importance in reconnecting the community across borders. One notable example is Egbe Omo Obokun of Ijeshaland, a social and cultural association of Ijeshas in the United States, dedicated to promoting Ijesha's cultural, social, and economic development.
The Maryland Chapter of Egbe Omo Obokun, led by Prince Gbenga Adeyeri, alongside members from Atlanta and Houston chapters, attended the carnival. The delegation included Vice President Titi Adeyemo, past President Chief Femi Oshobukola, Financial Secretary Chief Seun Abiona, Social Secretary Tunji Oginni, and other members with their spouses.
