INITIALLY WHEN I STARTED READING THE STORY OF MODAKEKE PEOPLE IN ILE IFE IT WAS FASCINATING BUT I DISCOVER THAT THE WRITER BECAME BIAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WRITE UP ALLOWING SENTIMENT AND PRIMODIAL AND ETHNIC HATRED TO BECLOUD HIS JUDGEMENT ASKING IN THE WRITE UP ¨WHERE IS THE HOSPITALITY GIVEN TO THE MODAKEKES^
WHAT THE WRITER DID NOT ADD IN THIS LOPSIDED STORY IS THAT BEFORE THE MODAKEKES CAME TO SETTLE IN ILE IFE THEY HAVE VISISTED MANY YORUBA SPEAKING TOWNS AND VILLAGES THAT REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEM THE MODAKEKES DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM OYO THEY ARE OYO SPEAKING BUT ORIGINATED FROM ILORIN WHEN AFONJA BETRAYED HIS BROTHERS IN OYO AND ASK ALIMI A FULANI MAN TO WAGE WAR AGAINST OYO OYO WAS DEAFEATED AND AFONJA THE FOUNDER OF ILORIN WAS MUDERED BY FULANI JIHADIST ALIMI WHO LATER TOOK OVER THE GOVERNANACE OF ILORIN AND HIS DESCENDANTS ARE STILL THERE TILL TODAY MARGINALISING THE YORUBAS IT WAS THE REMINANT OF AFONJA WAR MONGERS THAT ARRIVED IN OYO ASKING TO BE ACCEPTED IN THIER MIST BUT THE OYO REINGING KING SENSING THAT THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE MIGHT BRING TROUBLE TO HIS KINGDOM REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEM THERE AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO COME TO YORUBA ANCESTRAL HOME IN ILE IFE ISNT IT CURIOUS WHY THE MODAKEKES COULD COME ALL THE WAY TO ILE IFE TO SETTLE? AFTER ALL THERE ARE CITIES LIKE OGBOMOSO, IBADAN ETC ALONG THE WAY BEFORE ILE IFEµ BUT ALL THE RULERS OF THIS TOWNS REFUSED THEM SETLEMENT UNTIL THEY GOT TO ILE IFE. MODAKEKES WITH THIER EXPANTIONIST AND AGENDA AND SPITIT OF BETRAYAL , REGROUPED IN ILE IFE AND DECIDED TO BITE THE FINGER THAT FEED THEM IT SPURIOUS ,AND TURNING LOGIC ON ITS HEAD TO SAY THAT IFES ARE ENVIOUS OF MODAKEKES ACHIVEMENTS, IF THAT IS THE CASE THE ACHIVEMENTS IN THOSE DAYS SUPPOSE TO HAVE METERMOPHORSED INTO A RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN THIER COMMUNITY TODAY A VISIT TO MODAKEKE COMMUNITY TODAY WILL EXPOSE THE FALACY OF THIS WRITER ITS QUITE INSULTING FOR THE WRITER TO PUT A LOPSIDED ARGUMENT LIKE THIS IN A WEBSITE AS RESPECTABLE AS THIS IF INDEED THE MODAKEKES HAS DEFEATED THE IFES 4 TIMES AND SEND THEM TO EXILE THEN ALL THE FARMLEND SUPPOSE TO BELONG TO THEM, THE ISSUE OF ISAKOLE WOULDNT HAVE COME UP ? BECAUSE IN THOSE DAYS WINNERS TAKE ALL BUT ALL THE FARMLAND WHICH THE MODAKEKES ARE USING FOR THIER COCOA FARMING AND OTHER FARMINGS TILL TODAY BELONGS TO THE IRAYE PEOPLE THEY ARE ALL TENANTS ON THE LAND THE DESIRE OF MODAKEKE PEOPLE TO SEND THE IFES WHO ARE LARGER THAN THEM IN NUMERICAL NIMBERS ANYWAY, CAN NEVER BE ACHIVED I REST MY CASE OMO-OBA A ODUNMORAYO CAMBERWELL GREEN LONDON SE5 9BY''Italic text''Bold text
