xp17: Ile ife originated from bini.
[b]The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan who later formed Ile-Ife, somehow earned the title of Ooni (Oghene) at Ile-Ife and refused to return back to bini, then sent his son Oranmiyan to become king oba of bini. Prince Oranmiyan took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders (now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-nego, was the ninth Enogie (Duke) of Ego, by whom he had a son. After some years residence here he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by which name the country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in his place, and returned to his native land, Ile-Ife. After some years in Ife, he left for Oyo, where he also left a son behind on leaving the place, and his son Ajaka ultimately became the first Alafin of Oyo of the present line, while Oranmiyan himself was reigning as Oni of Ife. Therefore, Oranmiyan of Ife, the father of Eweka I, the Oba of Benin, was also the father of Ajaka, the first Alafin of Oyo.[/b]




Prof. please where did you get this sort of twisted history? Please dont be offended are you alright or may I say did you justfinish drinking Alcohol Please dont take it personal what you've just posted was completely out of tune Mr Prof. get back to where you gotthis history from and do more research ok.


As per what Ooni said to me I dont see anything wrong in this because even google search established that Ile Ife was founded at around 600BC which is a lot of years back I'm not a Yoruba but with the little I had studied in relation to their history definately Ile Ife has be existing long long ago this is the truth. And I dont think Ooni had in anyway ridicule christainity he had just said what he knew and their should be no offence in that and if a good Bible Scholar is in the house you will agree with me that Ethiopia was mentioned as far as in book of Genesis Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 and Jesus was yet to be born in physical body then but the Ethiopia the land in African was mentioned in such earlier biblical Era soo it might likely be possible other part of Africa soil existed around that time as well.

Keneking: After honorary doctorate award and ogogoro, what do you expect?

GentleMimi: Wow! Congratulations! But really,how does this matter in our present situation? I did my internship at Ife and i can tell u the place is acient! The ruins of the Modakeke/Ife crisis are still visible till date.The saving grace of Ife is the teaching hospital and OAU. Apart frm that,the town is boring and dry!
Now i ask,if a town has been so acient,why the backwardness? I even asked a friend of mine why Ife had a high number of mad people.(Sorry i cn't say his reply)
Its not about how far,Baba Oni,its about how well. Ife is still far from civilisation! *if it pains u,bite me*
and mind u,i lived there for one whole year at Lagere,Modakeke! I travelled to Lag every weekend i was not on call duty ,cos spending a weekend in Ife was a punishment.

odua boy: Please learn to read and comprehend before yearning opaks,,where did the oni claim that ile ife is the new york of africa the mornach only said that the ancient city has been existing long before the birth of Jesus christ.

Or are trying to tell us that africa had no inhabitants before the birth of jesus christ

Ignoramus!!!

odua boy: Moro'n,your history teacher did a shoddy job.
Who the hell told you that oduduwa is the creator of ile ife.

jantavanta:

Black ancient Egypt (as the Greeks named Chem or Kermit) is merely a very big daughter of Black Ethiopia. We in Niger Area are a nucleus culture that has somewhat fallen, and there is a control on archaeological excavations in Nigeria to maintain a psycho-status quo .

These so-called holy books creation accounts could also be called written down grandma fairy tales. Actually, these creation stories originated from ancient Egyptian stories that have their root in Ifa creation stories. Ancient Egypt is simply the backdoor to Ile-Ife. We already knew that Obatala molded man out of clay and Olodumare gave the breath of life.

You've totally missed the point of the statement. What he's clamouring for is historical accuracy .

JustHector: .Am guessing you have a m to the b to the b to the s like I do,been wondering since forever if I'd ever meet a 'friend' here.Nice!

leggo: i dont know why all this noise, was Jesus the beginning of mankind??

donwhizkid: Pls... Hw can one post something on nairaland... I mean a TOPIC... Pls help am dearly in need of it

Shallangwamalik: Only Egypt and Ethopia exIst when christ was born

GentleMimi:
No,YOU have entirely missed MY point.Do not be too quick to quote me without understanding my post.If u need clarification,let me know. I will not argue history with Oni,cos i'm totally in the dark in that area.My point is that he shld be interested in the way forward,not wallowing in the past! Get my point and stop contradicting urself!

ceejayluv:
Well, the issue of dilapidation and non-development is of another topic entirely. You could open a thread for that if it concerns you so much. you, like the other "defenders of Christ" that posted, are derailing the thread.

Promhize:

The thing is I don't just like the way he's ridiculing christianity. I choose not to believe because to me its not true and to him too, he chooses not to believe in christ.

We should just respect each others beliefs, instead of all these banters.

By the way, I just learned you're a Doc... Hmm... I kinda have a soft spot for female docs.. Hmm... Will be PM'ing you soon #winks#

GentleMimi:

Awwww. Actually,i did my ''internship'' not ''house job''...u get? Anyway,some peeps here are not so bad.Just maintain ur identity and u'll get friends u deserve. *winks*

GentleMimi:
My ''know it all'',why dn't u read a comment without bias,and understand it before hurrying to quote? I'm making my own opinion.If it hurts u soo much,pls kindly drink a cup of wet cement.Why are u getting all worked up? Cities and states which sprouted recently hv developed more than acient Ife. I made my own opinion that priorities should lie in development,not acient history. Who ever said i was disputing your Oni's claims? Pls get a mind of ur own.

me_for_you: Even oduduwa the prince of benin that created ile life is not up to 2,013yrs . oba distorting history while urging others not to.
If ile ife is 10,000BC old, then the great Aro in igboland is more than 1,000,000BC old then. Because we are far more civilised than yorubas

me_for_you: oduduwa teacher, so pls what exactly die oduduwa teach? That oduduwa's10,000 yes older than jesus christ. Ok good for him. If ile life is actually 10,000BC old then where are the archeological facts? At least we see d walled city of China. Where is d walled city of life?

odua boy: What a load of sanctimonious verbiage!!!....i know you have a penchant for shooting off topic.Learn to read and digress before rushing to display your unbridled idiocy with moronic comments.

The thread was all about the oni of ife voicing out concerns about the distortion of ife history and you brought discrepancies and irrelevancies into the discourse by telling us about the village you went to in osun state.....You should be more pertubed about your gully erosion ravaged land in the southeast where every able bodied men are fleeing from.

Arrant nonsense!!!

Gombs: ..and so? was there no Africa before the birth of Jesus?

JustHector: Lol..that's ok.Thanks a lot..I'll watch out for you..thanks again.

mbatuku2: This guy dey craze? When did Oduduwa arrive Ife? Even Nri dynasty which is oldest kingdom in Nigeria claims 9th century A.D. Instead of talking about Lead City Uni, he's there yarning lies.

GentleMimi:
*frowns*.....i'm a chemical pathologist by the way,not a Doc.
Do not PM me,or i will strangle u!

me_for_you: oduduwa teacher, so pls what exactly die oduduwa teach? That oduduwa's10,000 yes older than jesus christ. Ok good for him. If ile life is actually 10,000BC old then where are the archeological facts? At least we see d walled city of China. Where is d walled city of life?

ontarian:

Abeg Bro, what's your source? I am interested.

ontarian:

Bro, but do u really believe that oduduwa came from heaven(sky)?
