Good afternoon dear friends. I 'm new to the group. I have little doubt that wanted to clarify in the forum. Many point out that Obatala has an Igbo origin . This being the King of the Igbo ethnic group at the time Oduduwa reaches Yorubaland 1 Like |

Those who point that out must be poor students of history. There is no anthropological evidence for this (i.e. no historic or oral traditions to corroborate it). Long story short, there's no need to pay attention to those people on this matter. 4 Likes |

It is quite interesting to think that Obatala means 'he/she has entered' in Igbo language. 2 Likes |
