Legends of Old Africa:
Oduduwa and Ile-Ife

The Yoruba regard Ile-Ife as their place of origin, as told in the creation myth.When great god had been sent to earth he became very thirsty and drank palm wine, and lay down to sleep. As he was away long time, god sent his brother, oduduwa to continue the work of creation. This he did and supplanted great god in ownership of the land. Oduduwa is regarded as the first king of Ife and the founder of their race. He was a strong personality.
