Ooni Of Ife - I Receive Over 2,000 Tourists Daily by MacTv: 11:10am On Apr 11, 2019
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi said on Wednesday April 10, 2019 said that no less than 2,000 tourists visit his palace and other tourist sites around Ile-Ife everyday.

Ooni said this during a press tour organised to ascertain how far tourism had impacted on Ife community and its environs, ahead of the Tourism Innovation and Development Innovation Conference (TIDA) slated for April 24.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the theme of the conference is: Impact of Sustainable Tourism Development and Marketing of Tourism Destinations on Host Communities.

The monarch said that tourists from all over the world had been visiting the ancient town on a regular basis to know more about its culture making it a good reference point in domestic tourism.

The Ooni said that to keep the good record and history, there had been orientation programmes for the residents, adding that this was on how best they could be hospitable and familiarise themselves with the history of the town.

In his statement,
”Ife remains a tourist hub, the huge number of visitors I receive on a daily basis can attest to this.
”We want to ensure we do better in terms of hospitality, that is why we have continued to re-orientate our people on the essence of being hospitable.”

I heard Igbos are the true ancestors and founders of the Yorubas race. Ijebu Igbo, Ugbo nla and other places in Yoruba Land still use Igbo names.

There's a difference between Ugbo and Igbo. The pronunciation is not the same too. The Ugbo people still exist in Ondo State. They attacked Oduduwa. They used to adorn themselves with leaves and grass (Ugbo in their dialect) to sneak into Ife. Ifes conquered them eventually with the assistance of Moremi, a queen from Offa.
