Oduduwa is from Edo. yorubas were named by the northerners. The word yoruba was a derogatory name used by northerners to refer to yorubas in old kwara a corruprion of "bayerabe' .Unlike Igbo which is original given to Igbo by themselves. It explains why you hear Igbo name their kids Igbokwe, Igboanugo, Igbogadi, Igbonacho but names like Oluyoruba, Adeyoruba do not exist.

Like you, I also want more discoveries to be made in that town. There is much more than what is recorded in the books.

Univeristies keep churning our historians amd none is grabbing the opportunity to break grounds in Ife history - myself inclusive

SirShymexx:


Lol.

Don't let Ibadan folks hear that looool.

Most of them don't even know the warriors were a combined forces of all Yorubas, but mostly Oyo folks. Hence they always tout the military might. But the Egbas and Ekitis/Ijeshas held their own against them. Especially the Egbas despite fighting on a next front against Dahomey.

Egbas are warriors though.

a primary two pupil won't yarn this gibberish you've put up here...SMH...the earlier you do pure research, the better...SirShymexx, I do wonder...it is only on NL you see guys talking based on sentiments and dem say+ fabricated lies. Making claims, pple just make claims they can't reference or back up with materials. Go to UK or the States, pple don't just make claims there, they do research before coming up with their findings

tonychristopher:


at the end u didn't refute his claims ..u just ranted

yoruba was coined by derogatory word by hausa ....Yoruba!




prove the submission wrong

hercules07:


The ife people do not know that Ibadans used to send the Modakekes to chase them to the bush, it has happened like three times in the past. We can not lower ourselves to dealing with the Ifes directly, in Yorubaland, the Ijebus were our equals, the Alaafin the paramount ruler, ask yourself why the Fulanis were more concerned about Oyo than Ife, heck, it was the Ibadans that stopped them in Oshogbo and though the Baales of Ibadan were headstrong, they recognised the sovereignty of the Alaafin, even the British signed treaties with the Alaafin not the Ooni, Ife might be spiritual home but, where the King is, so is his palace, the Alaafin is the paramount ruler of Yoruba land, I will even have the Awujale before the Ooni.

manck2:


where do you people get all this bullshiit from.. alafin was not the paramont rule of yorubaland. neither was ijebu, You people look like illiterate people.. What do they teach you people in school nowadays.

Dont you have parent.

This discussion is NOT for women. Can you invite your husband to come and discuss this issue with me ? Thanks for respecting yourself in advance. Oba Lil Wayne needs my reprimand. He is a mere mortal and cant do some shit I do.

baby124:

You this bare back and backward baboon with coins in his pocket. Kobonaire like you. Thunder that will fire you is doing press up. Gbe nu e soun, fake guy. Even my husband stops and thinks when I speak, you are now feeling like one local town crier because I managed to mention you.
O kare jare. Omo iya e.

You are not different from Ibo's that call Lagos no mans land.

Modakekes were Oyo refugees in Ife. They migrated to Ife after the fall of oyo. Alot of town rejected them but ife had no choice than to welcome them since they were children of oduduwa. The treaty was later disregarded after the British realized the other obas kept mentioning another great king in the Yoruba hinterland.

Oboy!!!!! That name go fear you ooooo, you will know he is real traditional man. Esugbayi = Adoration to Satan or Satan has respect.

twosquare:
consult Samuel Johnson's History of the Yorubas for a start...and stop bitching about everything concerning other tribes....savvy

hercules07:


Yeah right, treaty was disregarded my behind. Modakekes were Oyo refugees but the Ooni that gave them refuge died and the one that took over became wicked and chose to drive them out, well, he got his behind handed to him.

saxywale:

Ife is sitting on treasures and so many hidden Yoruba history.

Mynd44:

What do you call a "First class king"? There are only 5 or so first class kings in Yorubaland and the Oba of Lagos is not even one

macof:

Surely there are over 12 first class obas..they used to be 16 but some like Olowu, onipopo and onisabe have dropped

SirShymexx:


Lol.

Don't let us derail the thread - but Oba of Lagos is still only the Oba of Lagos Island, or maybe Aworiland. I don't think he is the Oba of the whole state.

It is not a political title. You can't extend ya traditional title beyond ya jurisdiction.

macof:


Even in all Aworiland there are Obas that should be above Oba of Lagos...when did Oba Ado settle in Eko that his descendants should be taken above the landowners?

an Oba like Olotto, the sit of the founder of the Aworis is bigger than Oba of Lagos

seunfly:

For instance Deji of Akure in not bigger than Osamawe of ondo but since akure in the capital and Deji is the king of Akure, his throne overshadow the king of ondo town.

Hanibal:
Guy be humble enough to learn from that man you quoted.
Thats some true history lessons there.
The Alaafin is the paramount ruler of yoruba land... Egba.. ijebu ijesha Ekiti etc etc.
As for ur question... d answer is long ane im too lazy to type.
Im sure the guy u quoted will answer you.

macof:


who granted the Alaafin rulership over other Obas?
Ijebu wasn't under Oyo and nt all of Ekiti was either...I don't know about Ijesa
Anyway Oyo is no longer an empire, all Obas to their jurisdiction

Even if u learn about Oranmiyan it's clear he was young and being pushed around a lot by his brothers...how can he be above Ajagunla Orangun who helped him fight off the Baribas? Or Ooni who sent him to Bini?
Or Awujale who didn't seem to mind other Yorubas imperial agendas
