Nothing like Queen Sheeba. Bilikisu Sungbo was simply a Yoruba woman. Probably wealthy and influential. That wall holds many secrets. Civilizations rise and fall and it's inhabitants learn hard lessons of being prosperous and rich. You attract many dangerous and jealous enemies. So when civilizations fall tragically, people tend to return to more modest and less flashy way of life. 7 Likes |

Eredo is best appreciated when seen physically. A section of it cuts across Augustine University Ilara Epe, Lagos State. I worked there with some French Archaeologists last may. For the first time, I felt the discipline of Archaeology. We have a lot of history buried under the earth. I am proud to be an Archaeologist. 23 Likes 1 Share |

And they talk about the great Wall of China; when we have structures far greater here in Nigeria? It's time for nationwide archeological projects to discover more, to reconstruct our history and shut the mouth of all those who thinks Africans were savages before the coming of Europeans. 11 Likes |

absoluteSuccess: Was about saying this history is connected with oke Eri. The woman according to history was travelling from somewhere, she got to oke Eri n she was thirsty, she saw some women and asked them to give her water but they refused. She left and saw some men who gave her water. She then continue her journey and she died. Where her corpse laid till today is very neat, leaf on the tree she was buried does not fall n it's only men that can go near the place. Oke Eri folks can tell us more about it 4 Likes |

Rossikk: When we were young we used to hear about the history of bilikisu Sungbo. What made us interested was why women can't be allowed to go near the shrine since she's a woman. The story, that Bilikisu Sungbo was travelling, to where, we don't know. Then she got to OKE ERI which is about 5-10 minutes drive from ijebu ode, she saw some women and asked them for just water as she was so tired as a result of her journey. The women refuse to give her water, she continue the journey, and she met some men thereafter, and asked them for water and they gave her. The men knew she was different, they tried to speak to her she didn't disclose her mission or where she was going to. The men decided to spy on her as she proceeded on her journey until there was no strength left in her and she died. She was buried under a very large three. According to history, the tree did not wither, you can't find a single leaf under the tree, they said the surrounding is very neat and that the tree can be used for healing purposes. White men come there every year. But women can get close but not into the shrine, may be, that's the only instruction given to the men. When we were being told then, we were too young to understand. Oke Eri folks come in and tell us what we don't know. 3 Likes |

absoluteSuccess: hold on a minute these beliefs in legends like oduduwa is to give people identity just like the Jews believe they are descended from adam/Abraham when we all know that the first man first came out of Africa did oduduwa ever exist possibly it's is just unfortunate that we never reached the stage of writing down our history.. but does that mean you've to discount our oral history. of course not, yes some things may be embellished but you sure as he'll that most of these things hold true. oral history can only take you so far.. it is interesting we can go far back to the 1300 just listing the kings alone. ife bronze head is dated 1300. and for God's sake this thing is dated to the 800s not like it is 40000bc 4 Likes |
