What we are.
And what we do.
The O’Dua Heritage Foundation is the global authority of the House of Oduduwa. Established at Ile-Ife in 2026 under the patronage of the Ooni as Arole Oodua. Tasked with codifying the Code, defending the truth, and unifying the family wherever it has been carried.
Six councils. One conscious agenda.

Council of Sages
Adjudication · the CuriaThe senior body that resolves contradictions in oral history, hears disputes over canon, and issues the verdicts that are sealed into the Source of Truth. Composed of recognised scholars, traditional rulers, and senior babalawos, with the Ooni as Patron.

Truth Squad
Historical & narrative complianceThe team that monitors what is being said about the Yoruba in books, films, journals, and platforms. Issues the Foundation’s Seal of Authenticity to verified work, and the public flag on disinformation.
