What looks like a regular Yoruba village setting in Nigeria is actually situated in South Carolina, USA and it is known as the Oyotunji village. The community was founded by a Black American named Walter Eugene King who was born on October 5, 1928 in Detroit, Michigan, USA Eugene became intrigued with the African culture the Cass Technical High School and got fascinated by the African culture. In 1970, Eugene established the Yoruba Village of Oyotunji in Beaufort County, South Carolina, and began the careful reorganization of the Orisa-Vodu Priesthood along traditional Nigerian lines. He was initiated to the Ifa priesthood by the Oluwa of Ijeun at Abeokuta, Nigeria, in August of 1972. He was named king of Oyotunji community in 1972 with the designation, His Royal Highness Oba (King) Ofuntola Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I, born Baba Adefunmi. He later died and his son, Adefunmi Adejuyigbe reigned in his stead as king. See more pics: http://newspepa.com/photos-check-out-the-village-in-america-where-yoruba-is-practised-39899
