emi omo afole , omo onile obi
dont really know much about my dad's own, from Otan-Ayegbaju in Osun State

but knows my mom's own, she is from Oju Olobun(the Aworis) in Lagos Island
Awori la,
Omo oro naa, Omo Iya ala
Omo Iya ala shabo, Omo ashabo kee
Omo bi Olowo ke,
Omo a fi ponpon yoju won le'Egba
Omo a fi kumo yoju won ni Ketu
Omo bo nile osun,
To ba pe lekunle titi
Orun a n gbe o n le lo (ki n sebi to ole oo)

Foye,

Where in Oju Olobun is your mom from?

the building opposite the market(the building had been developed now sha to 3 storey building)

Emi omo onire, omo lowo eyo
Bi o si onire n o roko
Bi o si onire n o rena
Bi o si onire n o ti gbede eru saju
Eniyan o fonire ko tosi
Eniyan o fonire ko pose
Igba rebete lo fi nwon owo fayaba.

Thats d much I know

Emi ni:
Iyeru okin omo olofa majo
omo abisujoko
omo ijakan ijakan tiwonja l'ofa n'ile olalomi
wonlosoju taani
wonlosoju pooro looko
ibasoju oloko iba lawon
omo laare buure laare buure
ikan ogbodo jukan
bikan baju kan lo l'ofa majo ogun ninda s'ile baba won[i][/i]

This is arguably the most popular lineage praise in Yorubaland. I'm proud I'm from Offa.


That's for my town, for my agboole gangan(family origin), it starts as:
'omo olomu aperan, omo olowo agogo'

the building opposite the market(the building had been developed now sha to 3 storey building

Would that be the one adjacent to the church. . .and directly facing the Olobun shrine?  Back in its cottage style days, if you stood at the front steps and lookout you could see all down towards Ebute in one direction and Enu Owa in the other?

I love Offa people. I should have married an Offa girl but . . . that's in the past now!

Offa! Hmmm, I love that place.

FBS:

Offa! Hmmm, I love that place.

Ever stayed in Offa? What have you to do with the place?

Emi ni omo Yinmiyinmigbinkin, omo ajantari ogiri o gbofa, omo agbenu ofa ke kaakaa. Omo Egba ni n mu'tan ejo laja, mo ni k'Olugbon o kun papa, ko ba mi mu'tan eja. Iro Egba pa ko to temi. Omo Aje dandan foloko. Ara ilu Ele tii yeke loju agbo. Omo Ajuwon Ojowon, Ajuwon l'A** t'o murahun gbe koso, Koso tee ni nilee yin, le fi n joba loju oorun. Ayunwe ara Iseyin,

Subscribing.

i wonder if i remember my oriki.
last time i heard it was at a funeral.

Its nice reading family, town and the lineage praises from Ofa people who are there when the precious MOREMI shrine was burnt down. Where una wan go sing these praises. Is it in the mosque or the Church. The Ancestral shrines are the most important of the heritage to protect. It defines us as people with heritage not just those your lullaby. Ofa people wake up, wake up to ur time and show your black values.

Happy to share the same lineage with great people like you bro.




I have only been to Offa once but I fell in love with the town even though I stayed indoor for most of the period of my stay but I felt like not coming back to Lagos for real . The town is very calm and peaceful unlike the crazy world called Lagos.

efforts should be made to rebuild that shrine o . We Africans should learn to love and preserve our heritage.
