Ya timeline is wrong. Oyo didn't start in the 9th century - it started in the 15th century.

And the first Awujale was neither appointed by Oyo nor did it start in the 17th century. There was an Awujale and Ijebu kingdom before there was Oyo and there had been an Awujale from way back in the 14th century according to early European explorers.

According to Radiocarbon dating, the Oranmiyan staff in Ile Ife dates much older than the time Oranmiyan is purported to have lived.
I think there is so much History in Yorubaland prior to the dynasty of Oduduwa that is yet to be explored.

The truth of the matter but erased from history is ile ife existed 10,000 years before the birth of Jesus.

Before the Kush empire existed ile ife.


Those that did't like the Kush regime formed Egyptian empire. calved out of Kush..

History before Kush empire is being erased.. Many may not even know about Kush empire..

I can't post in this section - my handle is under a ban.

Back to topic:

The Oranmiyan staff most likely preceded Oranmiyan and was probably named after him. It's an obelisk and it might be what connects Yoruba people to other ancient civilisation from the East.

That said, you can't really make an argument that Oyo preceded Ijebu Kingdom and the first Awujale was appointed by Oyo, when Oyo is on its 47th Alaafin, while Ijebu is on its 58th Awujale.

This is the list of all the Awujales:

When you look at the timeline, it corresponds with Ijebu history and there are no spaces. However, with the list Scully85 provided, you can see gaps there. Also, both Sango and Ajaka ruled Oyo in the 15th century. And before them, it was Oranyan.

When you also look at the fact that Oranyan was also the 6th Ooni and the Ooni kingship in Ife, after Oduduwa, is on its 51st king. Then you'll see that I'm right.

if it was meant as an actual staff, it could only have been held by a giant.

radio-carvon dating can only work on the material used in making the material itself, and not when the staff was moulded. The material used could have been there for centuries before the arrival of people in Ife.
