April Fools' Day: Origin And History by argon500: 4:45am On Apr 01, 2017
April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when the two communities are essentially identical and their geographical distribution largely overlaps. As related as Ife and Modakeke are, however, both have engaged in protracted conflict for over a century. It remains the oldest intra-ethnic conflict in Nigeria. The Modakeke people are generally considered strangers, tenants, and migrants in Ife.

Historical accounts suggest that they migrated and settled in Ife in the aftermath of the collapse of the Old Oyo empire in the nineteenth century, causing a refugee crisis to the south and resulting in the occupation of their contemporary location. Two distinct categories of people were thus created: the original settlers (landlords) and the migrants, tenants, farmhands, and a resettled group considered as refugees (Modakeke).

Ooops, what is wrong with me, disregard the information above and read the full story below.. Thanks

Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the minister of science and technology, says Nigeria will start producing its own pencils in another two years, as part of a wholesale production-sector revamp to be witnessed in the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He dismissed questions over the importance of pencil production, saying Nigerians would be amazed at the multiplier effects, which will include the creation of at least 400,00 jobs.

Another lie above. Oya come and beat me
