The story of Queen Moremi.

Nigeria".
 

There once lived a woman called Moremi who hailed from
Ile-Ife, she had a young son, Ela. Moremi who was a wife of
King Oranmiyan of Ife was beautiful and as well virtuous.
 

The nation of the Ife was at a time faced with constant
harsh raids from adjourning tribe known as the forest
people (or Igbo literally in Yoruba language) who were of
such weird appearance in battlefield that the Ifes thought of
them as aliens, The ifes believed they were a visitation sent
by the gods as punishment for some evil deeds they had
committed.
 

The Ifes offered sacrifices to the gods in vain; the raids of
these uncanny beings would continue and the land was
thrown into a state of panic.
The heroic Moremi whose desire to change the destiny of
her people overwhelmed her pride, she sought to bring an
end to the condition of affairs, she resolved to letting herself
be captured during one of the raids, so that she might be
taken as a prisoner to the land of the Igbos and learn all
their secrets.
