Part 1: The Ancient Curse of Ile-Ife The 391BC Curse of Ile-Ife and Kampala

The kingdom of Ile-Ife was a prosperous and powerful nation in 391BC. It was home to a great many people, and its rulers were respected and admired throughout the region.

But all was not well in Ile-Ife. A powerful curse had been placed upon the kingdom by an ancient deity, and it was slowly but surely taking its toll on the people.

The curse had been placed upon the kingdom by the god Ogun, who was angered by the people's lack of respect for him and his power. He cursed the kingdom to suffer a great famine, and that no one would be able to leave the kingdom until the curse was lifted.

The people of Ile-Ife were desperate to find a way to lift the curse, but no one could find a way to do so. They tried everything they could think of, but nothing worked.

Finally, the people of Ile-Ife decided to send a delegation to the neighboring kingdom of Kampala, in the hopes that they could find a way to lift the curse. The delegation was led by the wise and powerful chief of Ile-Ife, Oba Ogun.

Oba Ogun and his delegation arrived in Kampala and were welcomed by the king of Kampala, King Olu. King Olu was intrigued by the story of the curse, and he agreed to help the people of Ile-Ife. He told them that the only way to lift the curse was to make a sacrifice to Ogun, and that the sacrifice must be made in the sacred forest of Ile-Ife.

The people of Ile-Ife were relieved to hear that there was a way to lift the curse, and they quickly made preparations for the sacrifice. On the day of the sacrifice, the people of Ile-Ife gathered in the sacred forest and made their offering to Ogun.

The offering was accepted, and the curse was lifted. The people of Ile-Ife were overjoyed, and they thanked King Olu for his help.

But the curse had left its mark on the kingdom of Ile-Ife, and it would take many years for the kingdom to fully recover. The people of Ile-Ife would never forget the ancient curse of Ile-Ife, and the lessons it taught them.
