AmiableJay:
I'm from Ikire too Ohhh. Naira &Kobo Street, Olorisa-Oko to be precise.

Johnnyessence: these are some of d project ogbeni did.

This story is incomplete without the mentioning of MODAKEKE people of Osun state. They are warlord who migrated back to Ile Ife during fulani invasion of the Oyo empire. They are in the class of Ibadan in term of warfare and they are the only distinct people with an area office. Carved out of the present Ife East local government. The Ife people have tried severally to subjugate them disenfranchise them. But they are tough and resilient.

tupacshakur: I'll also like to point out that My Ex, Evergreen123, a.k.a Ngozi underwent her NYSC in my state, Osun but will never see anything good in the state for reasons best known to the both of us which I'd be revealing someday here on NL.

She collected State Allawee for 12 months from the Coffers of the state Government and still have the guts to lambaste the state at the slightest opportunity.

Don't you think she's an Afi-ibis'oloore?

amakajoe: God bless my husband's state

sapientia1: reminds me of that pedestrian bridge

5thNOTE: U yoruba ppl should stop looking for the root of ur ancestry and refute the myth of Oduduwa and his fall or creation. The person that found the yoruba race was a prince frm Benin, a junior brother to another prince. He settled down at Ile-ife and resulted to peaceful pratice of his own aftr a broil with his elder brother. He had gotten to Ile-ife be4 he started throwing tantrums to his elder brother. Due to no king and free living practice by him and his descendants, yoruba nation quickly spread out. This should be around the 12th century. The Yoruba nation is frm Edo which came frm Egypt and met the Igbo ppl who came 3 generations back be4 the Edo ppl who were Jews. They passed behind this Igbo ppl who were strong and fierce warriors, this may be somewhere around Anambra- onitsha. The Igbo Frivolus attacked and threatened to annihilate them. They continued the war with the igbo generations later after settling down in the huge forest and other other parts of the travelling community have dispersed after the major first war at the early arrival of their journey.

quivah:
yup

tupacshakur: One noteworthy point that's commonplace among Osun state folks is "Religious tolerance".

Traditional-religion Faithfuls, Christians and Muslims live congenially with minimal conflicts.

Not only does the state of Osun pride herself with the Osun Oshogbo sacred grove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Osun Oshogbo Festival that attracts thousands of Osun Worshippers and tourists from all over the world, the State also boasts of the current president of the International Congress of Orisa tradition and culture (Nigeria Chapter) and prominent Ifa priest, Araba Ifayemi Elebuibon...world-acclaimed Christian Pastors like E.A Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian church of God and W.F. Kumuyi of Deeper Life Bible church...and Muslim clerics like Sheikh Abdullah Adelabu and the indefatigable Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.

I think the religious tolerance prevalent among We "Omoluabis" and "Omo Ooduas" parapo should be developed as a Prototype in promoting inter and intra- religious Peace, especially in places like "Alaigbo", Northern Nigeria and the Middle East.

What do you think?

Modakeke has been placed under Ife east LGA,...their land close to Mayfair is not even as big as some Ife town like awolowo town, agbonbiti, ilode, Oke ogbo, abiri and co.

1stUnique: so pls which state does it belong to?

PaulJohn1:

Ijebu-Ijesha is a different Ijebu, they are Ijeshas.

I'm not sure if they are of the same sub-group because they both have distinct identity as two different Yoruba sub-groups.

The similarities I noticed between the old Ijeshas and the Ijebus are: they are both very educated, ceremonious, can be very aggressive especially when vexed(damn insultive) or when dealing with money, they were also good at trading.

The Oyos really suffered from the Ijesha when is comes to yabbing. Go find out what this means; "Oyo amukun meko"

Got to add this, they were both never liked by the Oyo people in the past, but things have changed.

Nice job OP. But Okuku is Igbomina, not Oyo subdivision. Other Igbomina towns in Osun include Oke-Ila and Iresi among others. Also, there is no town called Oke-Ogbo in Ife subdivision. Oke-Ogbo is just the area that happens to be the headquarters of Ife East Local Government in Ile-Ife. Thanks.

Long live Ijeshaland
Long live Omoluabis in the State of Osun
Long live Nigeria.
