The Ayanna nodded though she was busy waving at the numerous people who took their time out to welcome her and her future husband, she still knew that what the chief said was true so she agreed and they soon got into the various SUVs provided for them and their people.

Ile Ife, also known as Ife, is an ancient Yoruba city in the southwestern part of Nigeria. ... According to Yoruba tradition, Ife was founded by the deities Oduduwa and Obatala when they created the world. Obatala fashioned the first humans out of clay while Oduduwa became the first divine king of the Yoruba people. 500 BC
Named as the city of 401 deities, Ife is home to many worshipers of these deities and is where they are routinely celebrated through festivals. Ilé-Ifè is famous worldwide for its ancient and naturalistic bronze, stone and terracotta sculptures, dating back to between 1200 and 1400 A.D.
Ife is an ancient town in Yoruba history and is regarded as the cradle of civilization. According to Yoruba tradition, Ife is the ancestral and spiritual home for all Yoruba. It is believed that the creation of the world started from Ife. Hence, it is popularly referred to as ''Land of the Source''.
The Ooni of Ife is the traditional head and is highly revered amongst the Yoruba particularly and the nation in general.
Oduduwa was the first Ooni (King of Ile-Ife) which is said to be the origin of the Yorubas. The groove and site is a great historical and educational site. A local chief resides at the site and is ever willing to fill visitors with stories about the days of yore.
This is the first birthplace of our Prince charming Prince Ade Ade, A place where strong and powerful deities reside, do you know that a lot of people visit Ile Ife yearly to see it's sacred sites? I've has the blessings of the Gods.
Most of the members of the royal family are educated and their King is one the wealthiest in the world even to date. This fight to get to the throne has been in existence from the onset but if you are chosen you are chosen and all the powers and personalities of the land will support you.
The present King Adeyeye asked his people the message from the gods regarding the spouse his son the Crown Prince has chosen for himself and he liked the response too, however, there was a battle to be fought, there were forces out there determined to cut down the Prince what should he do?
He had tried to be fair in all his dealings since he ascended the throne of his fathers, still, you can never satisfy everybody there were still enemies lurking around, what to do?
They didn't even want him to leave the aircraft, alive? so brutal! clearing his throat he opened his mouth and addressed the chiefs.
The Prince won't be arriving today as agreed. He has taken a detour to his fiancee's Kingdom first.
Is anything the problem? a chief that sensed that all was not well asked.
Hmm! Some enemies of the Kingdom already tried to kill the Prince on his way here, just as the chief Priest predicted hence his decision to go there first while we, his people find out who was after his life.
"....."
"...."
".....* Olodumare o!
There were different shocked expressions on the faces of the few chefs that were resummoned to the palaces. Now they know why they were called back after just leaving it.
Take a closer look at those of you here present, you are all in charge of different powerful factions, kindly go back and find me the culprit, the king was almost visibly shaken they have not seen their king like this in a very long while, who was daring their kingdom like this?
Oba wa! (our King ) be rest assured we will get you a good report soon. They took their orders and left.
Meanwhile, back in the hidden villa still, in iludan a suburb in Ife Kingdom Otunba Akingbemi was seated and waiting for his brother in bated breath as he taught to himself I will soon be called back to the palace with the news of the Prince's death.
Where were these people ke? let's declare a party already they should already be here with the good news. He wasn't even thinking that his people might have failed.
As soon as he picked up his phone to call Ogbon his third brother, he rushed in with his second brother Olure looking flustered.
Egbon et de bi? ( senior you are here already? ) there is trouble egbon mi
How? where? what happened? is the Prince dead? if he is it's good news, isn't it? looking at the pacing, worried and restlessly pacing brothers, he felt a cold chill on his back, .... what happened? tell me now!
The mission to...to kill the Prince in the aircraft was a big... big failure, Olure said looking grime, he was almost blinded by some strange force onboard that aircraft and now he is enraged.
How could that be? the..the Prince could now have activated his full powers, has he? Otunba asked.
Egbon but he is still yet to wed her, so how can Ogbon looked confused but Fadeyi said there was a powerful foreigner with him.
So? what can a foreigner do? is that not why we invited him to handle it with his spiritual power? Otunba asked looking enraged.
Yes but it seems the foreigner attacked him spiritually and almost blinded him as he said that his mouth curved up in a sinister smile, could they have known that we would....?
Hey! don't say that, if that was true, he didn't even want to think about the consequences, the blackguard would have come for them and their families already.
So what did Fadeyi say? Otunba asked.
That he will go after them once he can sense them again, although the best opportunity has been lost, Olure answered.
He is one of those that get the job done no matter what as long as they have collected a contract and after all, all his demand was met.
