1993 Iloko Day

The second Iloko Day was unique among the different community day celebrations. Its goals remained the same, to bring in revenue and bring home different people, but it attracted some major dignitaries that brought with them a wide variety of donations. Many came to see Prince Oladele Olashore, a minister of finance in the Transitional Council. He was a very influential leader who held high positions. Many came to see him and donate, even though they did not have a connection to Iloko itself. After this celebration, the economy and position of Iloko fell considerably. In 1994, they did not have an Iloko day because many did not feel like others would come or be able to donate to their cause.
