About Us
RIYE (Remo, Ijebu, Yewa, and Egba) represents the proud cultural heritage of Ogun State, Nigeria, uniting the diverse and rich traditions of these four vibrant communities. Our mission is to safeguard, celebrate, and promote the legacy of the RIYE people, ensuring that their stories, customs, and languages continue to thrive in the modern world.
At RIYE, we believe in the power of culture as a connector bringing people closer to their roots and each other. By leveraging cutting-edge technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), we are pioneering a new era of cultural exploration. Our platform, Digiculture, serves as a digital gateway where users can discover their cultural identity through their dialects, linguistic patterns, and online engagements. With this innovation, we empower individuals to connect deeply with their heritage while fostering cultural pride and communal unity.
Our vision is to not only preserve but also promote the rich traditions of the Remo, Ijebu, Yewa, and Egba people, while providing opportunities for cultural tourism, research, and economic growth. Through the fusion of heritage and technology, we aim to create a sustainable and thriving future for the RIYE communities and their descendants.
Join us on this journey to explore, preserve, and share the beauty of RIYE’s cultural heritage with the world.
