TubeMan — Sun, 16 Apr 2017 12:00:00 +0000

BattaBox’s Ile-Ife series continues with part 2 of Odunayo’s exciting tour of the ancient city.

“This sculpture you are seeing represents a woman called Moremi Ajansoro she is our saviour in Ile-Ife,” Odunayo is told before they move on to another tourist attraction.

“This market has been around for ages. If you look closely you will notice that the houses are very old fashioned. You can see they are selling tomato, pepper…”

“Is there a particular day of the week the market opens?” Odunayo asks.

“It opens everyday.”

“These are the women that sell Leku-Laja (rats, fish, birds…),” Odunayo’s tour guide says as he points at a market stall.

Hope you’re enjoying our Ife series! Stay tuned for more!

that makes almost all the crowns for Obas in Yoruba land!

“I started learning how to make crowns soon after I left secondary school,” he explains to Odunayo.

“You know kings have always been crowned since before I was born. Some even come with a picture of their ancestor’s crown for me to remake for them.”

“This type is called Peke. It’s for traditional chiefs,” he shows Odunayo a small crown before taking her around the rest of his shop.

INCREDIBLE: Roofless Wanikin Grammar School TOTAL transformation!

TubeMan — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 09:54:26 +0000

the students were being subjected to learn in.

Not only were windows and doors missing but there wasn’t even a roof!

The condition of the premises was so dire that it touched so many hearts, enough to make several people make donations to pay to fix the entire premises so the students could continue their studies in a healthy environment.

BattaBox’s Odunayo, took a trip to Ife to see the progress that has been made and she was amazed to see the transformation…

“I saw grass growing on the ground of the school, there was a lot of mold and there was no roof at all, so I’m just really grateful to God that we were able to accomplish what we have accomplish here. I believe even the children are already using some of the classrooms,” Mrs Jackie Oni, Proprietress of Omolade & Adetoro Sijuwade Memorial School (one of the donors).

OMG:Terrible State Of ONLY Grammar School In Wanikin Ile-Ife

TubeMan — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 09:35:45 +0000

Wanikin Grammar school is the only school in Wanikin community. They have no chairs or windows in their classrooms, shattered roofs, no walk way and overgrown weed everywhere. It is not in any way a decent environment to study in, but the children still come to school.

“Here we provide our own water, security and electricity, the government is totally not involved,” says Oba Kole Ojutalayo – Laroka of Wanikin Ife.

Battabox presenter Timothy visits Wanikin Community Grammar School in Ile Ife to see the impoverished state of the school and the environment itself.

“The classes are not good, and there are no chairs in the classrooms,” says one student

According to some of the people we spoke to in the community, the terrible state of the school was caused by the clash between the Ife and Modakeke people which caused mayhem in the two communities leading to destruction and loss of lives.

“Parents withdrew their children from the school during the Ife/Modakeke war,” says one man

Even some of parents themselves are not happy about the state of the school and are calling on the government and people to help revive the school.
