“Ile Ife Is The Origin Of The World ” – Ooni Says Yeyemoolu Mystery River & The Ark Of Noah In Ife
February 29, 2016 – “Ile Ife Is The Origin Of The World ” – Ooni Says Yeyemoolu Mystery River, Ark Of Noah & Tower Of Babel Located In Ile Ife Osun State Nigeria
While speaking at the official declaration and proclamation of the historic town as tourism zone for the entire world, the monarch noted that, the Tower of Babel also resides in Ife. The royal father, who described the cradle of the Yoruba as pace setting when it comes to tourism ,argued that many mystical signs, pre-medeval artifacts and ancient relics also abound in the town.
He noted that the entire land of Ife was full of mystery. His words:
“We want to bring out the mysteries for the whole world to see. God thrives on mystery and every inch of Ile-Ife the land of expansion is full of mystery. God has blessed us with some mysteries and we need to bless the world likewise.
Yeyemoolu: History Of The Barren Twins Who Turned Into River In Ile Ife
“For instance, there was a barren twin in Ife who turned herself into a river in order to bless the town. It remains the first wife of any monarch in this town. If you dare the water and fall into it deliberately, as small as it is, you will never return.
But if you fall into it by mistake, it will protect you and drop you at the nearest bank of a river where your relatives can see you. “This river is Yeyemoolu. There is nothing you ask from it that Yeyemoolu will not give you. This is another tourist attraction, a mystery river that the world can explore.
“The historical asset of Ile-Ife was enough to empower Nigeria and Africa at large and we charge all tourist across the world to trill themselves with old artifacts available in Ife. “The Ark of Noah which the entire world has been searching for is in Ile-Ife.
The Ark of Noah has been in existence and it is in Ife land. “Both anthropology and archaeological findings attest to the origin of mankind from Africa and there are more than enough evidence to show that the actual origin of creation is Ile-Ife.”
The Ooni urged the African-Americans to visit Ile-Ife to discover their root just as he called on the entire world to explore the tourism potential of the ancient town.

There is nothing wrong with cool and head-swelling mythology in the evening,but all that is of utmost importance to me is how to develop Nigeria. I know that those yeye alawiye books we all read in primary will surely derail some folk’s sense of reasoning.

Hhaahahha.Jacob Flow has kicked-started my morning. This man don smoke igbo like Bench. Lolz.
But on a serious note, this man knows what he is doing: he wants more tourists trooling into his kingdom. It is a mere advert, and we know that adverts lie a lot. Slim Tea now claims they made Ini Edo. We all know better.
The claim that two sisters turned into rivers is what they told us those childhood days. This man has projected a folklore episode into reality, and wishes that foreigners would believe. I won’t argue much on his mystery rivers, but Noah’s Ark is what I don’t want him to touch. To say that Noahs Ark is in Ile Ife is a lie larger than life. Noahs Ark, after the Flood, rested on Mount Ararat in Turkey. Turkey is in Europe. If Europe is now in Ile Ife, then that Yorubaland is truly mysterious.

I agreed with Kabiyesi Oba Adeyeye that there are many mystery in the present land of Ile Ife which is generally believed to be the origin of the Yorubas. I will like the people of Ile Ife to show the location of the Ark of Noah, and allow great scientists all over the world to verify its authenticity. I will be visiting Ile Ife very soon to see especially the Ark of Noah. Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi knows so much now as the most powerful king in the entire Yoruba race. However, the kabiyesi must promotes tourism in Ile Ife with facts because of the authority and great respect his position represents in the entire Yoruba Kingdom. Sir, may your days be long in wisdom, many blessings, and in good health.

Nw, ova 2 d Ooni in qust. D man is highly educated yes n I repect him 4 dat, bt I cld c here dat he has delved in2 smtin dat was a Million steps ahead of him whn he said… 2 cut it short dat, n I quote- “Both Anthropology and Archaeological findings attests to the actual origin of CREATIONS is Ile Ife“ I tend 2 disagree wt him here n evrybdy knws dat dis is a fact whc is very far 4rm d Truth.
2 buttress his point, Y didnt he show us d pix of whr d Ark of Noah was sittin n whr d Tower of Babel was standin just as he showed us hw d riva was flowin wt sm ppl at d bank?

The reality is that the Oni’s throne is sacred; its mystical, encompasses our original religions, all the fan fare that has been going on over the recent time by all the new age religions is just mainly for show. the throne commands so much power that no one can deviate from the established processes laid down over centuries. Are you going to tell me that Oni will not consult ifa on issues or will not do the right sacrifice when it is stipulated by the gods,he dear not because the wrath of the gods are real and manifest its not a joking matter, please people do more research. the process of the inauguration alone attest to that the fact that you simply cannot deviate from the ‘protocols’ so to speak, so for him to invite all those new age religions is just playing to the gallery. he cannot disobey his forefathers. On the issue of this recent proclamation on one hand it may be a marketing ploy but there are certain mysteries that are definitely attributed to Ile ife enclaves centuries ago please don’t delude your self there is power, however i have read sometime ago that some edifies belonging to traditional religions are being destroyed in some communities in the east by some of these new age crusaders claiming that its evil that is really sad; the constitution provides that everyone has right to religion of their choice.these new age crusader are not law abiding generally and constitute nuisance in the neighborhoods they contribute to the denigration of our heritage and culture we lack self worth collectively; we appreciate foreign culture and disregard ours, imagine the pyramids of Egypt , if the people did not preserve it how do we know of their capabilities and their ingenuity? it is now tourist center and generating income for Egypt, also the Aztecs of Mexico. The Oni is mainly trying to generate interest and encourage investment to improve the tourist attraction which will have knock on effect on the tourist industry. i think we should try by all means to protect our culture and heritage, and be steadfast in promoting what is good about it, there are many lost generation in the world of African origin seeking to know their roots, especially in America we need to help them regain their self worth, because people without cultural identity are lost and cannot walk tall. Nigeria is full of goodies that if managed well we just be laughing all the way to the bank which in turn should translate to better life for the masses.

@Omokehinde,i have observed something in you anytime the mention something that has to do with Yoruba’s, you will not see any bad thing in it, as soon as the mention Ibo’s you start calling them names.
I’m still surprised that you didn’t see any bad things in is issued, keep it up, i have be reading your comment.

Hello sister Linda,
I have never called Igbo people any terrible names on this platform, but I will admit that I have called Kanu Nnamdi, Goodluck Jonathan, Obasanjo, IBRAHIM Badamosi Babangida, Abudulsalam Gani Adam, Dokunbo Asari just to mention a few some funny names before of their terrible behavior and their bad ideology. I have many Igbo as good friends especially those that we attended secondary schools together. It is be a great sin for me to hate Igbo people just because of their tribe. The Ndigbo people are great people that I enjoy calling friends from deep down my heart. In my comment here with regard to Oba Adeyeye comment, I said and I quote,” However, the kabiyesi must promotes tourism in Ile Ife with facts because of the authority and respect for his position as the most powerful king in Yoruba Kingdom.” I also think that you guys should ask the great Oni to show facts of his claims instead of coming up with conclusion before verification and calling him a liar. I am a Yoruba by God’s desire and appointment, and I’m very proud of that. But I’m more prouder to be called a Nigerian together with my Igbo and Hausa/Fulani brothers and sisters. Thank you my dear Linda for your comment, and I want to thank you for always paying attention to my comments here. Once again, thank you so much.

February 29, 2016 at 5:49 PM
@Netu Nyetu, i think there maybe some logical explanation to the recent proclamation by the Oni,i found that there were various archaeological surveys and excavations carried out sometime ago by the German archaeologist Leo Frobenius in 1910 in osun osogbo area and in Ile ife by Department of Anthropology of Rice University Houston Texas in 2010 -2011 please do some research;to me it is not conclusive proof but may lend some weight to the assertion, anyway am not an expert o! one thing you have to remember is that Oni has advisers and someone is responsible for the media department no statement can come our of the palace without authentication. i think you can write to the department of culture and tourism for clarification.

@ Tee, could you come out a bit clearer? Archeological findings exist everywhre. If a German archeogist did some excavations in Ile Ife, what was he looking for? What were his finds? Or must every archeological exploit have something to do with Noah’s Ark?

Ithink people should stop disrespecting leaders, especially somebody like our first class King The Ooni of Ife. A person of his calibre will have some reasonable facts before saying it to the public. If you want to quote him wrong, carry out your own research and counter it with your findings.
May our King live long. God bless you all and Nigeria in general in the name of Jesus amen.
