i was born in this ancient town in 1983. i have my primary(elementry) and secondary(high) school education in this town before i came to usa in 2003. but being in united state doesn't stop me from thinking about this this ancient town ile-ife "the source of the yoruba race".
this town was discovered far back 500 bc;yeah, 500 bc, before the birth of jesus christ and this always makes me think that it might be one of the oldest town in the world.
according to the yoruba traditional believe, they believe that this town is the source of the wolrd, which i partially disagree with, but who knows?. we all know that garden of eden is the house of the first man on earth according to the believe of some major religions and the scientists also have there own version "the apes version".
since nobody knows where the garden of eden is or the origin of apes, then i can say the yoruba traditional believe about this town(ile-ife) is true in there own version.
i am urging our archaeologists to go to this town to do some research may be they can get some truth about the source of the world.

I've just finished reading the Ife article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ile-Ife. I'm interested in History. Can anyone post a title of a well written history of the Ife people? And please more Photographs |

@ WeslayanA
There is saying that goes that "common sense is not common". The man is talking about a place he was born and raised and we have" chicken heads" telling him that he is exaggerating without any facts to back it up. You must just keep running your mouth, then you go to mentor and report people when you do not like what they say.
You must need to slow your roll. I think your problem is that you type then think. It is an impulsive problem that can be found during puberty. Solution: Shut up and let people post or make their point/opinion before you add your 2cents. Results: It makes you look like a Complete dope with a ? on his or her face.
@Seeni4ever
Sorry for being interupted by that "uninvited Tombo fly", Please continue to educate us about your Ile-Ife,(The cradle of Yoruba Civilization).
NB:Here comes the Speech Czar about to regulate speech.

I (like Seeni) feel proud to be part of the great ILE-IFE, considering that both my parents are from there  . . i won't bother waste my time since i see jealousy is enough punishment for you, old man kokscity  . don't you just wish you were a teenager again? that was a nice long speech by the way. How long did it take you to write that up? a couple of hours? |
