The sun had just begun to set over the horizon when the drums of war began to sound from the city of Oyo. The people of Oyo had been preparing for this day for weeks, gathering weapons and supplies, and training their warriors for battle.
The people of Ibadan had also been preparing for the battle, and they had sent out scouts to gather information about the size and strength of the Oyo forces. When the scouts returned, they reported that the Oyo forces were larger and better equipped than the Ibadan forces.
The Ibadan forces were determined to fight, however, and they marched out of the city to meet the Oyo forces on the battlefield. The two armies clashed in a fierce battle, and the Oyo forces were eventually victorious.
The people of Ibadan were devastated by the loss, and they cursed the city of Oyo for its victory. They believed that the gods had cursed the city of Oyo for its victory, and that the city would suffer for its actions.
The people of Oyo, however, were triumphant. They celebrated their victory and believed that the gods had blessed them for their courage and strength.
The battle of Oyo and Ibadan had ended, but the curse of Oyo and Ibadan had just begun.
