What part of Yoruba land are you from?

calebo101:
[b]Na just population Yoruba get...... They are so tribalistic and obviously like to think of themselves as sophisticated but then they share that opinion among themselves only. For now they can stand firm with their Northern masters but when push comes to shove they will discover they're standing alone. The Yoruba's should be grateful to Fayose for standing his ground and not allowing them all to be sold to slavery entirely.

The 3 top public figures representing Yorubas---- Obasanjo, Tinubu and Oba Akiolu... While Tinubu is corruption personified and Oba Akiolu has a leaking mouth... Obasanjo is corrupt, has a leaking mouth and has destroyed his own family with his incestuous nature. How can a man sleep with his Son's wife

Anyway i repeat again, the only thing the Yorubas have over any region from the south is population, e nor pass like that. Their hatred for other tribes apart from their Northern masters is appalling to say the least.

This is really getting interesting!

Is this benin-origin story generally accepted in Ikorodu or just particular to some families or chietains in Ikorodu?

Father of all Yoruba true. But it's not same as progenitor.

They are not all his biological descendants.

Bonethugss:
As i always say, we Nigerians are not united at ALL. The tribal bigotry is just too much. May God help us, tooo many tribes hence the tribal divide.. but still our main problem is that we aint accomodating... Customer service - zero, Manners - zero, etiquette - zero, i need not go on.
We just need to remember that our citizenship comes first, we are Nigerians first and our tribe comes second.

bright007:



You obviously missed it. Fine, there were people already in the west before Oodua came but they were more or less not organised. Simply put, they were bush men. But the emergence of Oodua brought political organisation to the Yoruba race as is evident that his children conquered other regions and ruled over them.

.....and yes, Oranmiyan was Oodua's son but since Oodua is from Benin, its same as saying an Edo son is ruling her people. The story of the Yorubas is similar to that of Lagos. The ancestor of the traditional rulers in Yoruba land is from Edo state. ( in person of Oodua)


the Edos rule Lagos. The ancestors of the traditional rulers in Lagos are Edo sons and do pay tribute to the Oba of Benin up to this day e.g Oba of Lagos

i think a huge chunk of ikorodu falls under that category. keep in mind this migration to ikorodu was several generations ago so that some may not remember. also keep in mind he is a very educated man with 4 degrees from london and has written a couple of books so he is not just some local guy coming up with useless information. my dad that is.

macof:

To be honest this is nonsense unless u can
First trace ur bloodline to any Bini man
Secondly other lineages in Ikorodu do same

I have lived in Ikorodu and they are pure Ijebu. ..I even spoke with elders about their connection to the larger Ijebu in Ogun state. If at all there are Bini lineages in Ikorodu (I believe that's very possible) that doesn't make all Ikorodu or Yoruba from Bini like you think
You mean some may not remember but ur dad does because he has 4 degrees from london...you are wrong
If there's any people to know the history of the lineages best it is the old men who have lived all their slaves in the town

sukkot:
[b]bro, either way i dont care about tribal affiliations. never have and never will. i personally believe all these tribal affiliations are concoctions created within the past thousand years or two because all these people you find in west africa today under all these tribal delineations all relocated to that region from present day egypt and the middle-east and they were all one nation of people at that point in time. it was when they started settling in west africa after getting kicked out of egypt and the middle-east by the romans is when they started proliferating into tribal categories based on who got where first and what dialect they picked up. SO EITHER WAY I DONT CARE WHO IS WHO. I PERSONALLY THINK ALL NEGROS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE. however i was simply passing along information that my father told me about the yorubas, and especially the ones in ikorodu, and that is that we are benin. either way it makes no difference to me if we are classified benin or yoruba because my classification of who we are goes beyond when the words benin and yoruba were formed. we are the ancient CANAANITE NATION. thats who all negros really are. we are not benin or yoruba or igbo or whatever it is we are calling ourselves today[/b]

macof:


I thought as much
One of those who look to the middle east
Now you have changed the topic to negros coming from the middle east
How can you possibly believe that the black race is descended from Semites? This is sad really

Not only is your "One nation from Egypt and the middle-east" inconsistent with all known history, there's also no records of such migration from that part of the world into sub saharan africa

Try to care more about your history and origins

Volksfuhrer:


Ok. This is mind blowing!

sukkot:
i think you need to do some more research. start with a book called ' from babylon to timbucktu '. it details exactly how black people ended up in west africa from what is called the middle east and egypt today. there is no such thing as ' yoruba ' or ' benin '. these are all after the fact concoctions. look at the sphinx and all the monuments in egypt ? do they not all look like yoruba men today ? . better do some research because when it comes to these types of topics, i am well researched

macof:


Lol this is it? You refer me to a book written by a black American jew?
Pls you don't expect me to take his book seriously...with all the religious sentiments and Hebrew sire

This is why I tell children to be careful what they read and most of all scrutinize everything

Lemme ask u. . Did you ever wonder where he got his information from? How he figured the migratory pattern? Assumptions and guess work maybe

No! Egyptian art doesn't look Yoruba. Yoruba art looks Yoruba
Stop looking to foreigners for yoruba history

When you look to the wrong places for your research

sukkot:
there is even more history before that. before we got to benin or ikorodu we were in modern day egypt and modern day syria, lebanon and israel till we got kicked into the interiors of africa by the emerging powers of that time which were the arabs and the roman empire. so we were not always in west africa. we were once in northeast africa which israel and egypt is northeast africa. so many of our people cant see beyond a 200 year history. i have traced our history back 6000 years and i can emphatically tell you there is no such thing as yoruba or igbo or benin or etc etc

sukkot:
oh sorry. i forgot you are one of these self hating low self esteem black people who only respect what the white man writes. who will tell your history better than you ? a white man ? lets just end this convo cuz i see i am not going to get anywhere with someone with your anti-black sentiments

macof:

Lmao so Oyo created Oduduwa story
Tell me more. ...
Oh! Nd it was the Malians who called Oyo Yarriba

While Ekiti are an old people. .elements of pre-Oduduwa is still present in many towns but We were influenced by Ife as much as other groups
What Oduduwa did was uniting the whole nation under a strong political leadership and pass it to his son oranmiyan. Oranmiyan took this 'power' to Oyo. That why Ife is the religious home of the yoruba but Oyo the capital of the Nation. Oranmiyan built a strong political and miltary town of Oyo just like he did in bini. Mind you Bini has been existing but the political turmoil 'then' make them seek ife help. We yorube never created bini and vice versa we only help them. If you are doubting my history ask any babalawo where did OGUN and ESU went to heaven, they will tell you Ekiti. I am oyo boy/man, ekiti is older than oyo but is as old as ife so how come no historian mention them until the rise of Ibadan. What of ojo and ada two old town in osun. They are both beside ede. These towns are historical towns but because they own no military,political or economical and population advantage they are cheated historically.
