Idogo, traditionally associated with Ilé Èrè, represents prosperity, benefit and productive enterprise.
The Yorùbá concept of Èrè can be associated with gain, benefit, reward or profit. This identity provides an opportunity to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and productive activities of community members.
Across generations, families and individuals contribute to community life through farming, trading, craftsmanship, professional work, business and other forms of enterprise.
Idogo's heritage can therefore be presented as part of Ayétòrò's continuing pursuit of economic progress and improved livelihoods.
