Welcome!!
The Iree Community in America (ICA) is a charitable organization with the sole purpose of positively growing our beloved town, Iree. We are pursuing the purpose through economic developments, population health education, health missions, mentoring and protege entrepreneurship programs for indigenes, easing of capital access for local business growth through partnerships with financial institutions and investors, and working with other stakeholders in public and private sectors to benefit Iree town. We are children and wives of Iree who have enjoyed the kindness and support of our town, and we are voluntarily paying forward the town’s present and past generosities.
Iree is fortunate to have been blessed with many visionary and caring leaders, and we members of ICA pledge to follow in the footsteps of such dedicated leaders. We invite you to use this website to dialogue and update our members with critical activities in Iree, to ask questions, and suggest improvements on how we can best work together to support our town. Despite our own individual and family obligations, our members rose to the occasion to donate over 10 million Naira to assist the women of Iree at the height of the Covid-19 crisis. We are constantly working hard on other agenda items for Iree’s positive growth. Thanks to all our parents, sponsors, mentors, and friends. God bless the ICA and God bless Iree. Iree o ni baje o! Oke mejeje agbewa.

COGNOMEN IN PRAISE OF IREE TOWN
IREE MOGUN, IREE OYE, IREE town of ONION
Children of great rocks
Children of wonderful hill
Children of tiger with silver horn
Anyone interested in climbing IPOOLE hill
Should come down to IREE OYE
And become our suitor
The children of overflowing waters
That touch the garment of the king’s wife
Children of four hundred chickens
That are busy hatching chicks
Children of twin palm trees
One having bright colour
And the other one like segi bead that glitters black
I’ll go home to drink from ABO stream
I’ll wash my feet with UPHILL stream
AKEPA stream – the true source of water
YOKO – the ideal potable water
AGBARA – the bathing water
If they bathe in ASA stream
ASA affects adversely
MAAYE flowing water is taking me down stream
AILU stream please shield me from being swept by overflowing waters
You’re the children of plenty money
You’re the children of dark firmament where’s my dish to carry money?
Children of apiary that’s very common
The apiary of honey has become scarce
You’re the children of plenty money
You’re the children of segi beads
You’re the children of coral beads
Anyone who has children for your descent will not lack clothing
Anyone who has children for your descent will not lack money
You’re richly blessed with plenty money
If one escorts your lineage to a certain extent, It’s better to go back home
If one reaches EGUDU stream
It will be better to return home
You only allow true citizen
To follow you to the forbidden forest
Any alien that enters the jungle will become sacrifice to your ancestors
