Quran means recitation. The Yorubas also recite Odu-Ifa and memorize it. History has it that Yorubas are from Mecca, so that might make one to wonder if Quran is part of what they left behind.  Quran and Odu-Ifa they are too much alike, just try and make some research and compare their story they both look much alike. For example Quran talk much about Jinn, Odu-Ifa talk about Irunmole, Muslim talk about Quran descended from heaven just as Yoruba talk about Oodua descended from heaven. You just try and research you will be surprised with this revelation.

Imagine the Following Similarities

Pronounce these word: Alfa - Ifa, aren't  they sound alike?
Quran can only be accurate interpret by a Muslim Clergy, Odu Ifa too can only be accurately interpret by an Ifa priest.
Correct rendering of Quran can only be in Arabic Language, one most vast in Yoruba language before he can recite Odu Ifa.
Muslim do competition on reciting Quran, similar things happen among the Ifa worshipers.
They both come from Mecca.

More are coming. watch out!

Your claim that history has it that Yoruba came from Meccas is flawed. Can you back up your claim from just one single Odu Ifa that supports that assertion that Yoruba claim from Mecca. Albeit I concur that there are similarities. Ifa did not come from mecca. To your own understanding, they might look alike, however Ifa does not need to be assosciated with quran inorder to be valid.

Stupid man! May almighty Allah forgive you because you do not understand what you are talking about. You are talking about the Holy Qur'an what about other religions, better don't talk/start what you do not understand, because I do not know your age that you are talking as if you were there.
If you are to talk about anything better do enough research before you mention what you do not understand. Please! if you are confused ask questions, you'll be enlighten.
Once again, may almighty Allah forgive you for this you've posted and don't dare you post another one in respect of this! ok?
Stay bless

spare us this fairytale. . . . . .the yorubas have an ancestry link to mecca. I am not surprised that islam is linked to idolatry, after-all allah was also an arabian idol.

Oduduwa and his co-travellers were written to have come from East, but the they met people in Ile Ife who were already being guided by Agonniregun, Ifa Priest who told them their leader would coming from somewhere and so on and so on. So all Yorubas are from East

Although the "east" Oduduwa is supposed to have come from is claimed to be mecca, strong evidence, logic and historical parrallel actually suggests that he actually came from benin which is eastward of Ile ife and not mecca as claimed. This is what accounts for a lot of cultural and historical similarities between the yoruba and the benin people. The benin people also have a similar story that a prince [ Prince Ekaladerhan  ak.a Izoduwa which was later pronouced oduduwa by the yorubas] from benin went to settle in Ife and bcame their first king. For more on this check the link below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Empire

We are taught in those days in primary school that Oodua a prince of a King name Lamurudu came from Mecca, We are equally told that one of his grandchildren Oranmiyan plan to go back and fight them but he was turn back at river Niger.

Is more likely that Oodua come from Mecca since there is no religion tolerance in the Mecca as at that time.

I was also taught in my secondary school "that the sun stood still, " in a battle fought by some people. Also that a serpent and a donkey could speak.

This knowledge should en-light us to let us know that we are all brothers, what muslims have in the east Yoruba equally possess it in Naija. They both look alike.
Ifa = Alfa, Odu Ifa = Koran,
we just need to delve into the content of both may be they have similar stories, at least some allegorical.

IDINRETE:

ur teachers must have been wise men, .  . since there is no scientifically plausible reason to believe that the sun CANNOT stand still.
It would also amount to lack of intelligence to state that a donkey or serpent cannot talk. . .considering that some people also hear from invisible spirits.

If I were u, I would take the words of those teachers dearly. . .and most importantly they taught u that yorubas migrated from saudi arabia, they came with one of the 360 gods/idols of the city, they left allah behind. . .it was this same allah that mohammed elevated to a global idol.

Just tell me Koran does not meant recitation, if it does Odu Ifa and Koran will be classified under poetry or rather poem in literature. Akosori.

History has it that Yorubas are from Mecca

could be mecca, could be yemen, like many other west African groups.





not directly though.

@Habib16

I am just only try to let you think and have a rethink about yourself and your future so that you wont end up blaming your ignorance. I hope you understand Yoruba Literature? In Yoruba belief as stated in the book "Asa ati Ise Yoruba" by C. L. Adeoye,(mine was giving to me free in the days of free education) Obatala is belief to be a god that helps in creation, he will add mouth, nose and eyes to human to make them alive.
Obatala is equally known as Orisaala, Orisaala can mean Orisa Ala and according to a reference work Allah "was also used by pagan Meccans as a reference to the creator-god, , the supreme deity in pre-Islamic Arabia" -Wikipedia

Orisa (deity) + Allah = Orisaala, I think that make a sense to you.

aala means white in Yoruba land, we use to see Ifa and Obataala worshipers dressing in white garment during their festivals, does that not similar to the dressing we use to see in tv when people go to Kaaba for worship around the black stone in Mecca.

Yoruba use to say "Ara Ifa ni Fatima wa" meaniing Fatima is part of Ifa. Fatima is an arabic name but Ifa is a Yoruba deity (Orunmila is equally refer to as Ifa). Hence we use to have name like Ifatunde = Fatunde, Ifadairo = Fadairo in Yoruba land. So do you think that all these following arabic names are just coincidental with Ifa, name like: Fatai (Ifatai) Faruok (Ifaruoku), Falilat (Ifalila), Fatimat - (Ifatimo) and so on. More is coming, Watch Out for Part 2, have you watch this Nigerian home video titled "Oodua"? it is a good reference work.

@poster Dis na big story even goat dat is senseless can tell u ur senselless coz ur DNA with the one of goat have very small diff. Babanla iro opuro lasan!

@ trueseeker

where did you get your information from sef?

like all religion, there might be some similarity btw the two

but they are both basically different religious sect, not a progression from one to another.

Also, history does not tell us who or where Oduduwa was actually from.

All those mecca stories are bullsh, t!

Oral history, panegyric and eulogies tells us from the east ("where the sun rises", and remember it could also be a myth!

@poster sorry to ask pls which Religion do u practice!
