It Is Time For Africans To Narrate Their History Correctly

Meanwhile, Ooni has said it is time for Africans to embrace their history and correct the erroneous conception by outsiders, as well as the distortion of historical facts by some foreign writers.

He argued that it is necessary to take such steps so as to put an end to activities of people deliberately turning the facts upside down regarding the history of the black race.

The monarch stated this on Tuesday at the launch of a book, “Ile-Ife: Cradle of the world,” written by Dr Maureen Tamuno, Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Jamaica and Belize.

He praised the writer for her doggedness and effort in correcting some wrong information in history.
