ngozievergreen: so, whats the original story and what exactly was distorted? The original story is that Yorubas originated somewhere in West Africa (possible Ile Ife). The distorted story is that Yourbas originated from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. |

mikeapollo: I believe Ife was the spiritual base of Yoruba people while Oyo was the political and military base. Both are holding a great position in Yoruba history. This arguments on superiority is meaningless 2 Likes |

Jazzgreen: my bible said STUBBORN ANGELS aka demons were chased down from heaven, Yorubas said ODUDUWA fell from heaven, hmmmm, hope something is not similar here People are mixing the spiritual and historical dimension of Oduduwa up. Dark Energy was what the Yoruba people personalified as Oduduwa. If you could remember in the creation story, Obatala got drunk and Oduduwa took up his task from where he stopped. - Obatala (deity of white clothes or light) here is the light particle which modern science said it kickstart how the universe came about. This is the major reason Obatala is said to be omnipresent because light spread to the end of the universe which produces space and time. The drunk state Obatala was represent the cooling state of those light particles. - Oduduwa in the creation hypothesis took over the creation task from Obatala. This implies that the original explosion that created the universe produced massive quantities of light in the form of subatomic particles. As the universe cooled these particles joined together to form simple elements. The elements in turned joined together to form stars. In time, certain stars collapsed, forming black holes that imploded on themselves until they created a fission reaction. This sent huge clouds of complex elements throughout the universe. It was a cloud of complex elements that cooled to form the solor system, and within the solor system evolved the ecosystem that exists in earth. Oduduwa in the spiritual sense is the dark energy. Western science teaches that all of Creation evolved from the light produced during the primal explosion at the beginning of time. Yoruba teaches that all Creation evolved from the White Cloth of Obatala.....a robe. The chain used by Obatala to travel from the Realm of the Ancestors to Earth appears to be a symbolic representation of the structure used to transmit genetic information from one generation to the next. The genetic code that is used to form each species is passed through a biochemical substance called DNA. When DNA is viewed under a microscope it appears as a double helix, which is similar to the pattern of a chain. Symbolic language are used to describe a series of evolutionary events that match closely with the theories of Creation that have been proposed by contemporary Western science. So you should be very careful when handling character in Yoruba spirituality. Also in the Historical account of Oduduwa, Yoruba people were saying Oduduwa came from heaven which implies that the account provided by the Igodomigodo (bini) that the last Ogiso (king from the sky) son was the person who the yoruba people called Oduduwa. - Ogiso means king from the sky. So they aint wrong and this got nothing to do with the story in the bible. - Oduduwa was from the east as believed. Benin is in the east of Ife today. Get your fact straight man.....when you forget your history, then you are worse than animal. Cheers 2 Likes 1 Share |

The History of Yoruba-Rev.Samuel Johnson is now being rubbish because of stating the superiority of the Alaafin of Oyo over any Oba in Yorubaland! When he wrote the book nobody challenges him of distorting history!Why should Ife people now calling him names now? Onirisa means what the deities owns! Because Oni is a priest son not the rightful heir to throne(Oranmiyan's absence caused it)read more from Samuel Johnson's. |

Re: Ooni Of Ife Warns Against Distortion Of Yoruba History by mikeapollo: 9:11am On Dec 11, 2013 |
macof: Who made Ife a colony of Oyo? Where did you get your history? Ooni of Ife had never paid homage to any king in Yorubaland. IMPOSSIBLE! How can Oranmiyan, the youngest of Odudduwa's children establish Oyo to be superior to Ife. Does that make sense to you? Before Oyo was established, there had been other Yoruba kings and kindoms. It is not as if Oyo came immediately after Ife. Oyo was established much much later. And if Oranmiyan's body was buried at Ife when he died.....what does that tell you? Ooni of Ife is the undisputed numero-uno, the historical, spiritual and cultural head of the Yoruba....Alaafin became recognised by the British because of the military strenght of Oyo.At a time in ancient histroy, a new Alaafin was crowned by the Ooni. If every kingdom in Yorubaland traces their roots to Ife, then only a drunk person would say the Alaafin is superior to the Ooni! 3 Likes |
