Sungbo's shrine at Oke-Eri (Oke-Eiri), near Ijebu-Ode, is No. 52 on the National Commission for Museums and Monuments' list of declared national monuments; Wikipedia says it was declared part of the national heritage in 1964. It is held to be the grave of Bilikisu Sungbo, the noblewoman of Ijebu legend in whose honour Sungbo's Eredo was built, and some Ijebu believe her to have been the Queen of Sheba. It is a place of annual pilgrimage for Yoruba traditionalists, Muslims and Christians alike (Wikipedia).
