So there is a place called Ugbo in Yoruba land and Moremi deceived them with her beauty.

Next time I see any rubbish about Yoruba pursuing Igbo people from the SW using Moremi, no straight backhand slap.

If he was Yoruba king made this assertion Our Ipob thugs would have rained abuses on him.

be sensible always

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!

You don mhadt! Aswear!

freezyprinzy:
oh he no longer came from mecca abi he was banished in Bini den trekked 2 mecca 2 collect power 2 defect obatala whaoo

lol, no bro.

Obatala is mythical, Oduduwa is a real person.

However Oduduwa got to Ife doesn't matter, what matters is that he was banished from Bini kingdom and he wandered to Ife.

Yes. The king is right. I am a Linguist, research shown that Oduduwa met people at Ile-Ife where Obatala accommodated him. He later waged war against Obatala nd he dethrone him. Lamurudu who was Oduduwa's father died in Mecca during religion riot(that was when Islam got to Mecca. Lamurudu did not accept islam so he was killed. That was why OOduwa and his relative left Mecca to Ife. D journey took them 90 days(According to Samuel Johnson). When Ooduwa got to Ile-Ife, he stay at the hill top (OKE-Oranfe) at Ile Ife that was where he noticed Obatala's inactiveness b4 he fought him(Obatala). Research in Linguistics/Dialectology proves that Ilaje dialect is more close to Standard Yoruba than any other dialect. For instance, the pronoun(Oun-third person singular pronoun) can function as conjunction in Ilaje sentences.E.G. Mo ri Bola oun Ojo- I saw Bola oun Ojo. If we are to believe on history of Portuguese and missionaries like Samuel Johnson, venn, kilham etc, we will see that Ilaje people was in existence at Ife b4 Oduduwa came. The position of Ilaje especially Ugbo kingdom can not overwritten in the Yoruba history even in Benin history. For more info...WhatsApp +2348102323959, pin 2BA500CD

Anybody that says that is just plain silly.
Did Yoruba and Igbo People have any significant contact in ancient Nigeria?

Does this man know the meaning of 'betrayer'?

Moremi was an Ife born princess who was used to spy and learn the war secret of the enemy by her Ife people. She volunteered to risk her life and put herself in position to be captured by the enemies banking on her beauty to save her from being killed at sight. The enemies fell for the plot, captured her and gave her to their king as spoil of war. The king was foolish enough to reveal his people's war secrets to a captured spy because of pussy.

It is like Russians accusing an American born CIA agent of betrayal or USA accusing a Russia born KGB agent of betrayal because he spied on them.

He needs to go and learn what is called Secret Agent before spewing rubbish.

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.

Don't let anyone fool you, Oduduwa didn't come from Benin,
he came from Ife!

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.

What an uninformed comment,
the first Oba of benin(Eweka) was a grandson of Oduduwa,
Are you saying the grandson gave his grandfather the title of Oba ?

He better take his time before Orisha descend on him

dunno wat 2 believe again sef but I cannor take it any more

The sad thing about this is people will believe and keep themselves from good people meant to bring great things to their life because of an ancient tale

Stereotypes do nothing but divide and rule

I am team love the skin your in

Your fada!

Look at all these Christians laughing at the claim that Oduduwa came from the sky. Are these not the SAME Christians who believe that Jesus was birthed by a virgin? Elijah took a chariot to heaven? A donkey spoke? Jesus walked on water? Jesus died and resurrected and floated into the sky to heaven? Before you remove the speck in another person's eyes why don't you remove the log in your own eye? Hypocrites

ur brainbox is working excellently

Lol. Anyway,certain things about the Ugbo people reminds me of Igbo-Yoruba pre historic connection before they both became distinct groups .
From the popular Moremi story to the Lightskin stuff to Oraife which actually looks like an igbo word.
We have Oraifite in Igboland.
Ugbo on it's own means a Bush or Farm in Igbo.
The word 'Oba' mean different things in Igbo.
I've also been able to gather words from both groups that have similar pronouciation,spelling and meaning.
Take it or leave it, these tribes are offsprings of similar Proto ancestors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ugbo people are the last yoruba group to differenciate from Igbos and adopt a full Yoruba status.
We need to go deeper in our history.
When it comes to Nigeria,the closest relatives to Yorubas are Igbos, Idoma, Edo and Igalas but Tribalism has taken a toll on them.

So they don't birth light skinned ladies in their own town?

You should do a lil research on it.

I can help you with links and recommend books if need be. Goodluck bro.

Erudite Yoruba people here, could you please explain to me the following:

When we were in primary school, they taught us that Oduduwa is Lamurudu’s son. We were also told that Lamurudu came from Mecca, yet Oduduwa is the progenitor of Yoruba race, is that logical? Isn’t his father, Lamurudu supposed to be the progenitor of the Yoruba race and not Oduduwa? There was a lot of controversy surrounding the Yoruba race. Some people felt that an Oba was wealthy so they sided with him to achieve their goals and that was how history was distorted. I remember when I was in primary school, I learnt that about 25 professors were tasked with finding out the history of the Yoruba race and they did a beautiful job gathering information, they wrote the book beautifully and one of the things they wrote was that the Yoruba race belongs to the Ugbo people but the result of the research never saw the light of the day.

Is this true? Do the Yorubas really believe that they come from the Middle East?

This is a serious question btw .
