In a controversial statement, the Ooni of Ife asserts that Igbos do not produce kola nuts and that their land primarily supports the cultivation of garden eggs. He challenges anyone to provide evidence of kola nut farming in Igbo land, insisting that they import it from Yoruba land.
.......... Ooni of IFE says, according to him Ígbó land does not produce kola nut and the only thing that grows there is garden, he further challenged anyone with proof of growing kola nut in Igbo land to come forward with proofs, according to him it comes from Yoruba land
Interviewer: Tell us more about the kola nut analogy.
Ooni: Let us research kola nuts. Why is it that the Igbos are so particular about it? They fight wars in Igbo land because of kola nut. They will tell you to bring this specific kola nut. Bring this, get that. They fight wars so much. Yes. The only thing that grows in their place is the garden egg.
They can grow that one very well. But that kola nut, they should come and tell me where it’s been grown in Igbo land. No, they buy it from Yoruba land.
