geosegun: Your version is false etymology, it's not isenbaye, it is isembaye. http://www.google.com.ng/search?q=isembaye&client=ms-opera-mini-android&channel=new&gws_rd=cr&ei=Vh2IVs2UFobjUfGmmfAF If you think it's not complicated, then interpret this with utmost simplicity: kunmi, it is the name of Yoruba generalissimo, so you will be doing posterity a favour. There is always a difference between 'àkotó' and 'sàá -koó-b'óotifé'. I saw you viewing, geosegun. |

tpia5: I should correct this post perhaps. It was probably during Clapperton's second journey, when he travelled up north via the Atlantic coast, that he discussed Yoruba origins with the Sultan. During his first journey, he travelled south through northern Africa. |

honifome: WE ARE MERE VICTIMS If we claim that Ekiti originates from Ile-Ife, there are more questions to answer: Where did Ile-Ife originate? There is another question: Can we separate Oduduwa from Yoruba? If it is true, historically, that Oduduwa was the father of the entire Yoruba race, Ekiti could not have come from Ile-Ife. Ask me why. The myth says Oduduwa descended from heaven. However, the authentically researched history established that Oduduwa was a migrated into this part of the world and settled down at Ile-Ife, where he met some other people. When I got that history, what came to my mind was that Oduduwa and his children actually colonised the areas now known as Yoruba race, which are made up of what used to be various nations, including Ekiti - a nation of its own and indeed the only homogeneous state in Nigeria. After settling down properly, what the researched history recorded is that his grandchildren used to request for their own crown, which used to be made by one ASEDEMADE. Upon receiving authority to go and take over an existing town or village, (call it colonization), Oduduwa pedigree would locate a town or village, kill its\ruler or force him to hand over and become his subject or run for his dear life. For instance, that authentic history states that Oba Elekole of Ikole Ekiti is known as Oba GBADEGESIN till today, because he(the one who came from Ife to take over ruler ship of Ikole-Ekiti) was the only one who rode on his horse from Ife to Ikole with his crown on his head. A very dismal case was that of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State. The first Obanta of Ijebu Ode was from Ile-Ife. After receiving his crown, he chose to take over (colonise), the place now known as Ijebu-Ode. According to the researched history (not myths), as soon as he arrived and the then "baale" was notified that an Oduduwa grandson was outside his palace, he escaped through the back door. Therefore, the Ile-Ife man simply used the event of that day to rename the town as well as his title. It went like this: Because Oduduwa and his descendants were dreaded everywhere, they were the ones referred to as Oba (King). All other existing rulers of his colonised kingdoms became "baales". Concerning Ijebu-Ode, as soon as the existing ruler was told:"OBA WA NITA" and he escaped, the new Oba decided to make his title "OBA-WA-NITA", which as times rolled bye, became OBANTA. In addition, he named the colonised town after two slaves who accompanied him. Their names were AJEBU AND OLODE. The town became AJEBU-OLODE and later became Ijebu-Ode. Most part of the areas known as Yoruba today came under Oduduwa ruler ship by subjugation. Therefore, the history of every nation making up Yoruba today goes beyond Oduduwa. Just like Ijebu-Ode, all towns and villages being ruled by Obas, who claim to have come from Ile-Ife, are all victims of Papa Oduduwa’s invasion, even Ile-Ife. Therefore, like some, who contributed to this topic rightly pointed out, this is an scholarly subject, and not a matter of how somebody feels or the language you speak. Our history is like that of America, a place originally occupied by Indians, speaking their own language. English people colonised them. Today, they speak English. But listen to an Indian intonation, when speaking English and listen to an American. You would hear what I call rubberise sound. The French colonisers even adopted a policy of assimilation. Therefore, language is far from being a proof of origin. To confirm the authentic history of Oduduwa and his descendant’s exploits in this part of the world, visit University of Ibadan or Obafemi Awolowo University libraries. We are not from Ile-Ife. A good number of our ruling families are, just as the ruler of Malawi today originates from England. That does not make the Malawians English. Ekiti people are original Yorubas created by the creator before they are colonized by oduduwa Grandsons! http://www.ekiti.com/forum/topic_view.php?id_topic=1234&topicsubject=Ekiti |
