Oyo State’s Spiritual places

(1.) Iyake Lake

The Iyake Lake settles at the top of a mountain called Ado Awaye. This lake never dries even in dry seasons, and the water level remains the same in raining seasons.

Besides the lake, the mountain has other wonders that make it a fascinating destination and significant cultural heritage.

The Iyake Lake was discovered around 1500AD by the Dihormy refugees who are now head of the kingmakers for Alado of Ado Awaye chieftaincy.

One of the myths is that Iyake Lake was a barren woman who turned into water. It is also believed that when you have spiritual problems and consult the lake it provides solutions

Till today, whoever enters the lake never comes out of it. It is said to be the main god of fertility of the Mountain

(2.) Ishange Rock

The villagers believe that if the city elders go there and place a white cloth on the rock and chant an incantation, it will rain for 3-4 days if it did not rain for days.

(3.) Agbomofunyake

According to villagers who reside here, whoever gets their legs in the water will be dragged to the bottom of Iyake lake. It’s a tiny hole near Iyake Lake, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
