The Oba of Ile-Ife was a powerful ruler, and he was determined to protect his people from any harm. He had heard of the stories of the mysterious creature that had been terrorizing his people, and he was determined to put an end to it.
The Oba called a meeting of his advisors and told them of his plan to put a curse on the creature. He instructed them to gather all the ingredients necessary for the curse, and to prepare it.
The advisors did as they were told, and soon the Oba had a powerful curse ready to be cast. He called the creature to him and cast the curse upon it.
The creature was cursed to never be able to harm the people of Ile-Ife again. The Oba declared that anyone who tried to break the curse would be cursed as well.
The Oba's curse was powerful and it worked. The creature was never seen again, and the people of Ile-Ife were safe from harm.
The Oba's curse was so powerful that it has lasted for 969 years, and it is still in effect today. The people of Ile-Ife still remember the Oba's curse and tell stories of it to this day.
