I thought Oduduwa fell down from the sky.


Why is there no consensus on the actual progenitor of the Yoruba race?
So many inconsistencies in the stories. Which one I go believe now?

Lol, can someone possibly fall from the sky?
There's no consensus simply because of the poor record keeping.

There's no progenitor per se.
The Yorubas have always been existing.

Oduduwa came from Bini kingdom, he was banished from there.

whaoo is he trying 2 beef 1oba?... dat 1 dat lyk travelling lyk buhari humm

Hmmmmmmm







A slave can not be King?


An Hunchback can never be crown as King?




Someone we soon come for those

Very confused oba

Truefederalism:
Another confused Afonja.
Oduduwa is now from Mecca. The fulani alliance aint today

The skies rejects the sophisticated peeps.
Betrayal did not start from Afonja but Moremi. (New fact)

In Yorubaland
the men =Afonja.
The women = Moremi.














Mad yoruba peeps everywhere!

Your moniker contradicts your comment up there,you seek for true federalism yet you speak against a particular tribe!!!
True federalism indeed!!!!

Make I hear jhor.. Nobody de look face or skin anymore and for this kind harsh economy, nah watin your head fit offer that matters

Oduduwa is Oba of Benin son that was banished and he went Ife and conquer Yoruba land and they revered him as god that fall from heaven and he gave the kingship in Yoruba land the name Oba as the they use it in Benin kingdom.

when I hear yorubas saying oduduwa is there progenitor I laugh ... the guy met leaders here in ife.

ALAYORMII:
What about their own fair ladies??






In my book, I listed the qualifications of an Oba. That is why some people are misbehaving in the land. An Oba should sit at home while people would come and pay homage to him. You have to sit majestically, that is what they call an Oba.



Who can tell Mii who this is meant for??

Punchline to our, sorry their jegede (waka waka).

I believe this oba been an ilaje king is a fabricator facts he claimed to align with a depth of intellect. With all the education he claims, I don't see a 21st King or Monarch in this man at all. How does your monarch and kingdom on the verge of been phased out meet the needs of the 21st Century? I was expecting this man to do better. May be a more light on Oando and Ilaje oil explorations and key players will draw more of Nigerian and world attention on your salient ventures to break the arch wings of those elements without direct impact on the Nigerian citizen. All the claims made by this Oba has been bent on power! Power! Power!,War! War! War! And all about power dominance. As far as am concerned, monarchy in Nigeria will soon be phased out or better up graded to affect peoples life in much better ways. I say this with an authority because am equally a monarch from both my paternal and mother's side.

To me, the essence of this article is just a flickering show of prowess. we are now in an age where you don't need to be a king or have all the trillion dollar worth of ventures to Change the world. If the white man can do this, i believe we can do better.

So you believe Oduduwa fall from the sky

That fairly tale was written by a drunkard.

He is Oba of Benin son, he can't come from Mecca

cool

This is pure distortion of history. Who's this man?

kulrunsman79:
I love the " betrayal" aspect. Ofcourse we all know that fair skin women are traitors n betrayers.

Actually, it works both ways. A traitor to them and a hero to the Ife people. They can come and blame their gullibility on an ingenious lady who crafted a way to deliver her people from perpetual raids. #Moremi ajasoro

CandyDiamond:

either he is from ogiso or from makkah ... he was a stranger, but somehow out smart other local players ..

Youngzedd:

Actually, that's what I was taught in my social studies class in secondary school days. I guess it's a myth after all.

Well, black ancestors kept little or no written records.

So it's distortion galore for every History revisionists there as long as it aids in propagation of their political agenda.

Who is to say that the Ugbo version of Oduduwa story is not the authentic one, who is to say that the Oyo and Ife ones are not the authentic ones.
We can't know who is telling the truth now, but one thing we know is that all Yoruba people are united by their Yoruba language and dialects.

Everything else is secondary.

Side point: It would appear like the Ugbo king was taking a dig against the Ooni of Ife, with the talks of an Oba having to stay in palace and not supposed to have his father still alive.
That is wrong of the Ugbo king, to say such things about his colleague in public newspaper.

You my friend are not informed on how true federalism works. In true federalism I care very little what happens to you. News concerning you will almost be foreign news to me.

it is a tale like mary pregnancy, Jesus crucification and Mohammed riding horse in the moon.
and the reason is just that we don't keep records

as in ehn, some will tell you their main ancestors are in brazil, that they got seperated when plate tectonics caused continental drifting of the south american plate from the african plate.

YonkijiSappo:
This silly Oba the Olu of Ugbo has been saying and postulating different rubbish revisionist versions of Yoruba history and dishing them to silly underground reporters /\ ~~ Smh
He better take his time before Orisha descend on him

What is the evidence that the current version is not rubbish?

CandyDiamond:
Oduduwa is Oba of Benin son that was banished and he went Ife and conquer Yoruba land and they revered him as god that fall from heaven and he gave the kingship in Yoruba land the name Oba as the they use it in Benin kingdom.

No, the Oba title had been in use in Yorubaland long before Benin Kingdom. According to oral tradition and history books, about AD 1400, the people of Benin became dissatified with their rulers and sent to Ife, asking Oduduwa for one of his sons to rule over them. He sent them Prince Oranmiyan and that was when the kingship title became Oba in Benin. . .

Now who or what do we believe? If only there can be a roundtable where all these contradictory issues abt the yoruba race wuld be trashed.

I foresee a battle of superiority happening in the future. This man is sowing a seed of discord.

#proudlyYoruba

I see a lot of people here doubting the belief that oduduwa came from the sky yet they are quick to believe that elijah was taken to heaven by a whirlwind,that adam was created from dust.i smell hypocrites

Nice article...I love the kings confidence. He really knows his history...
