Read Time:2 Minute, 4 Second
A secret tourist destination found in Ayegbaju-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has excited Mr. Wale Ojo-Lanre, Director General of the Ekiti State Bureau of Tourism Development.
In a statement released on Sunday, Ojo-Lanre revealed that an engineer named Michael Ale had discovered the location inside a discreet investor’s agro-tourist agricultural enclave.
Ale is a former president of the World Water Council in Paris and an expert in environmental development, he said.
He stated that the tree is now known as “The Mystery of Ayegbaju’s Tree of Love” and called the location a stunning ecotourism wonder.
“At the heart of this discovery is a fascinating natural spectacle—a ‘marriage’ between a tree and a palm tree, locked in an eternal embrace.
“Unlike parasitic or saprophytic relationships often seen in nature, this bond is symbiotic—a profound lesson in resilience, unity, and coexistence.
“The tree wraps itself around the palm in a tender yet firm embrace, akin to a devoted partner standing guard. Their roots intertwine deep into the earth, sustaining each other.
“In a remarkable testament to their bond, even when fire ravaged the site, the tree bore the brunt of the flames, shielding its palm companion.
“In an extraordinary turn of nature’s benevolence, the untouched palm tree nourished its charred counterpart, reviving it with water and nutrients—a true act of survival and solidarity.
“Today, the burnt portions of the tree are sprouting new life, symbolising resilience and the power of unity,” he said.
The most amazing thing about this enigma, according to Ojo-Lanre, is that the trees have a mask-like structure that resembles a head with unique facial features, such as lips, ears, and mouth.
He pointed out that the trees could teach us something.
According to him, the location is a natural phenomenon that serves as a striking metaphor for humanity, emphasising that diversity should not be a source of division but rather a means of ensuring our collective survival.
“The tree and the palm remind us that through harmony, support, and shared endurance, we thrive together.
“This is not just a sight to behold; it is an experience, a revelation, and an inspiration.
“The mysterious Tree of Love in Ayegbaju-Ekiti is an invitation to reconnect with nature, witness its wonders, and draw wisdom from its silent teachings.
“Ekiti’s tourism landscape continues to expand, offering yet another must-visit destination that showcases the state’s rich natural heritage and boundless potential,” he said. (NAN)
