Part 3: The Battle of Ibadan The Oracle of Ile-Ife and Ibadan

The Oracle of Ile-Ife had foreseen a great battle between the two cities of Ile-Ife and Ibadan. The Oracle had warned that the battle would be fierce and that the outcome would determine the fate of both cities.

The armies of Ile-Ife and Ibadan had been preparing for the battle for weeks. The Ile-Ife army was led by the King of Ile-Ife, Oba Ogunmola, and the Ibadan army was led by the King of Ibadan, Oba Oluwole. Both armies had been training and gathering supplies for the upcoming battle.

On the day of the battle, both armies met on the field of Ibadan. The Ile-Ife army was larger and better equipped, but the Ibadan army was more experienced and better organized. The battle began with a fierce exchange of arrows and spears. The Ile-Ife army was able to push back the Ibadan army, but the Ibadan army was able to hold their ground.

The battle raged on for hours, with neither side able to gain an advantage. Finally, the Ile-Ife army was able to break through the Ibadan lines and push them back. The Ibadan army was forced to retreat and the Ile-Ife army was victorious.

The Oracle of Ile-Ife had been right. The battle of Ibadan had determined the fate of both cities. Ile-Ife had emerged victorious and Ibadan had been defeated. The Oracle had been proven right and the people of Ile-Ife celebrated their victory.
