You had to be there

The best way to describe the Homecoming is through the people who experienced it.

Thank you all for Love Bombing me and sending me back to Australia 🥹😁😂😂🥰 I completed a 37hours trip back home. To all the beautiful people I encountered during my stay. Keep your Lights ✨️ on, it was so contagious 🥰

Thank you all for showing each other love and especially to the homecoming team for taking care of us day and night, giving us delicious meals, and giving us new experiences in Iwere land. I'm so grateful for the hospitality, and to be part of the homecoming.

- Ebiyemi J., 🇬🇧

This first Itsekiri Global Homecoming was truly special. Being back on our soil, reconnecting with brothers and sisters from across the diaspora, and seeing the Kingdom come together under one vision is an experience I will not forget.

- Otse A., 🇺🇸

I had signed up early for the homecoming event even though I live in Warri because I was afraid you might have scanty company. How wrong was I when I went to collect my goodie bag at the hotel in Ajamimogha. The pulsating enthusiasm got to me immediately.

- Joe J. 🇳🇬

A heartfelt thank you to the entire organizing team for putting together such a memorable experience. The Itsekiri Global Homecoming was truly amazing. I enjoyed every moment and already can’t wait for the second edition!

- Jolomi, 🇺🇸

Everyday was a constant battle of fire for fire Fashion and styles, war of high end perfumes and heavy duty headgears!😅🧡IGH 26 will forever remain a treasured memory.🧡🧡🧡

- Christabel O., 🇳🇬

So much to remember on this trip. Meeting a lot of our brightest people and the spirit of oneness we shared together. One of the most highlights I will always remember is the culture night that provided the opportunity to taste several of our foods on the same night.

- Fiogho T. 🇨🇦

Time to go. The children are not happy about leaving. They had a blast and can't wait to share their cultural experiences with their friends. They can't stop talking about "the chill king with a swag"😁 This experience is priceless. Appreciate the team that put this together. I have never been to big warri and never attended a coronation/anniversary ceremony in the palace before. This was epic!

- Margaret, 🇺🇸

Thank you so much to the incredible team for your dedication, professionalism, and hospitality. You made us feel truly special and treated us like celebrities throughout the entire experience.

- Gloria P., 🇺🇸
