Ijaya The Series

Legacy of Akamara

Long before recorded history, existed an African tale of good and evil, slavery, forbidden love and the battle for spiritual fulfillment. Ijaya, the Series is a fictional story about a group of young people in Akamara, a city in the New Nigeria Republic, who are direct bloodlines of ancient warriors and deities, and how they were given the powers of their ancestors to fight in the epic battle between the Irunmoles of Orun Rere and the fallen Exu and his Irunmoles.

A collection of 1,111 (hand-drawn/synthesized) NFTs, Ijaya’s “I’m Not Romantic” genesis collection, represents the first installment fusing African art, music and culture into a lifestyle brand connecting artists and fans around the world.

Through IRL events, exclusive collaborations with artists and musicians, comic book and merchandise drops, Ijaya celebrates the enduring truths of self-discovery, empowerment, and creative expression that is central to all of us.

This is Ijaya. This is us.
