ILE=IFE IS THE SOURCE AND HEAD OF ALL KARO O JI IRE KINGDOMS.
Ile-Ife is ''The Source', thas has many Branches, of which the dead and buried Oyo Empire, was a Branch, among many Branches.
Without the Source, (The Root), there would have been no Tree.
It is only People battling with Delusions Of Grandeur, and phantom nostalgic of A Dead Empire, that was only out to enslave and sell their own Fellow Karo O Ji ire People, into slavery, that will be engrossed with Oyo Empire, which was a dark chapter in the history of Oduduwa Nation.
Herodotus, the Globally re-nowed Father of History, wrote 500 years BC, that there were three Ancient Civilizations in Africa, of which Ile-Ife, was mentioned as One of the Five Ancient Civilizations, then the question that comes to the Minds of Rational Human Beings will be, how can Our Oyo that as founcded circa 1000 years ago, by Prince (Later Ooni Of Ile-Ife), Oranmiyan, be claimimg to be superior to Ile-Ife, meanwhile, Kingdoms like Ota in Ogun State, Owo Kingdoms, in Ondo State, amd many others, are far older than Oyo Kingdom.
Even Oyo Empire at its peak, could not lay claim to been OverLords of Ijebus, Remos, Ekitis, Ijeshas, Owos, Aworis, Ilajes, Akokos, Igbominas and many other Kingdoms,
Ile-Ife, the Ancient and Ancestral Home of the entire Karo O JI Ire People, shou;d be accorded the honors and respect it deserves, Long shall You reign, Olofin, Adimula, OluAiye, Olufe Ooni-Orisha Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja 2nd. The C0-Chairman of the Nigerian Council of Traditional Rulers.
