Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade said yesterday in Ibadan that Ile-Ife had been in existence 10,000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, and even before Oyo town, warning people against distorting history.
Sijuwade made this fact known while delivering a goodwill message at the Lead City University where he was given an honorary Doctor of Public Administration award along with three others.
He added: “Ile- ife was created 10,000 years before the birth of Christ. Epe land was created in 1832, Agodoyo where Alaafin is was created in 1837.
“Then how can anyone say it has existed before Ile-Ife. This is distortion of history and it should be stopped. We all belong to Ile-Ife and it will remain forever until God decides otherwise and by that time, none of us here will be around.”
