The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has traced the history of Igbos to Ile-Ife.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the Ooni pointed out that available evidence showed that the Igbo race migrated from Ile-Ife.

Ooni said this while challenging the academia in Nigerian universities to properly document the history of the Yoruba race rather than relying on jaundiced history.

The monarch stressed that proper documentation will not only foster unity but reveal the ties across ethnic groups.

Addressing journalists ahead of an International Conference on ‘Ile-Ife and Yoruba Civilization: Nexus between Tradition and Modernity’, at his palace in Ife, Ooni said;

“We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history.

“We are not involving government in this project so that we can just place all the facts together, we must write our history properly and put things the right for the coming generations,” Ooni said.
