Did Oduduwa Fall From The Sky As In Falling From The Sky? by Environer: 5:23am On Nov 11, 2010
In my history class, we were taught that Oduduwa fell from the sky and founded Yoruba kingdom thereafter. The guy Oduduwa get liver to fall from the sky and still survive the 100000 km downfall. Does it mean Yorubas are all going back to heaven? We the real owners of naija who did not fall from the sky will miss them sorely at least for their amala and efo riro.

I'm glad you've acknowledged the superiority of the Yoruba. You have spoken truly; we are descended from heaven. And not surprisingly, God seems to favor us quite a bit.

@OP,

Did Adam fall from heaven? No. He was created by God according to the bible. Same applies here. There is Olodumare and his pantheon of ministers. Oduduwa was created by Olodumare. Creation stories abound in every ethnic group.

Sometimes I wonder which is more practical: Igbos (and that is a few of them) claim to be jews (actually jews by behaviour and not by any genetic stretch) and Yoruba claiming to fall from the sky probably with a thud and actually writing that in a history textbook and teaching everyone. Could it be that Oduduwa was the ekwensu/esu that God drove down from heaven and he came here on earth to distabilize the Nigerian space? Could it be why his descendants kill themselves for every flimsy excuse? I need urgent answers for my PhD thesis. Otherwise I will claim the PhD certificate and begin calling myself a doctor, even if you refuse to provide the answer that I require to pass the exam

I nearly got retarded studying that Oduduwa fell from the sky. Now it does look like he did not fall after all; he was pushed.

Is it not easier to claim to be jews (afterall there are Nigerians with Israeli passports) than claiming to fall from the sky and publishing same in a history textbook? I wonder who reviewed that textbook b4 it was published. Was it the esu himself?

Mekus get a job! & stop talking about a PHD thesis that doesn't exist you're obviously not PHD material.

This is what happens when someone realizes he is too dumb to contribute meaningfully and intelligently to any discussion on Nigerian politics. So he resorts to stupid jokes and slurs to get attention.
Please head over to the 'Sexuality' section if you desperately need somewhere to vent on Nairaland.

Which Yoruba truly believe these origin myths? They are ethnic fables. Obviously the river naija is not a woman turned into a river, for example. Do you believe that the Swedes still believe in Thor? Or the Greeks in Zeus?

Igbo claiming to be jews are the same thing some foolish Yoruba do when they claim to be descendants of Arabs; insecurity in their origins as a people and seeking a more "noble" background. Genetic testing is very likely to yield no significant amounts of middle-eastern DNA in either the Yorubaman or the Igbo.

Even in the Hausa man, middle-eastern DNA is not likely to be significant

Umunna,

Now you are free to refer to yourselves as jews, chinese, etc. If Yoruba peps enviously bark at you (as usual) about that, please remind them that they were pushed from the sky so they are UFOs. I wonder why it took umu igbo so long to make the connection.

so your rants are because you want to be considered a jew?

if you like say you're descended from martian troglodytes.

who actually cares?
