Ede provides a great place for tourism. Historically, it is one of the key traditional towns in Yorubaland. Egungun festival is still widely celebrated, likewise many other traditional festivals. However, more and more people are celebrating Xmas, new year and Ileya (Id-el Kabir) festival. Infact, throughout Nigeria, Id-el Kabir is celebrated most in Ede.
The first Executive Governor of Osun State- Alhaj Isiaka Adeleke- came from Ede.
Ede is a municipality and a town in the eastern Netherlands.
The environment is clean and green due to the fact Ede is partly built in a forest and partly on the central Dutch plains in the national park called Nationaal Park "De Hoge Veluwe".
Economically, the town of Ede is doing fairly well thanks to the proximity of major highways and railways which offer fast connections to the port city of Rotterdam, the airport of Schiphol and the Ruhr Area in the country of Germany.
Ede tends to suggest that the role of the CBN is to belatedly and helplessly cry to the press over some already spilled milk in Nigeria's banking industry.
Ede is in fact a member of the old brigade at CBN who condoned heinous financial crimes of the sleazy banks and bankers of Nigeria.
In other words, bank failures in Nigeria are not necessarily as a result of economic forces, rather some bank owners and officials embark upon some criminal activities that result both in the betrayal of the trusts of their customers and that of the entire nation, and ultimately in the wrecking of their banks.
