I was really disappointed to hear the Ooni's attempt to twist history for whatever motives he may have. Olugbo is right to set him straight because the Ooni has been saying a lot nonsense lately. I am also surprised that igbos themselves are not saying anything about Ooni's attempt to rubbish their historical authenticity. Or do Igbos need Ooni/Yorubas to tell them their own aboriginal history?
Ooni speaks the truth. Olugbo also speaks the truth. If you know, you know.

Oba Akinruntan is absolutely right on this one. There's no historical link between Igbo and Yoruba. He must have mistaken the Ugbo of Oba Akinruntan for Igbo of Eastern Nigeria.
The story of Moremi is also about the same Ugbo people.
The headquarters of Ugbo is Igbokoda. There are Ugbo towns in Igbo Land, e.g., Ugbo in Enugu State. So, what gives?

The Ugbo in Yoruba is not the same as the eastern Ibo. Your Igbo means all while Yoruba means forest.

The Igbo (pronounced as Ugbo be Eastern Yoruba dialets) in Ancient Ile-Ife are NOT the same as the present Igbo people.

I think the Ooni is mixing the story up.
This is the kind of stuff you get when you make someone not rooted in the Yore, tradition, History and customs of his people a traditional ruler because he has money.

The late Oonis Adesoji Aderemi or Sijuade Olubuse will never make such blunders because they were born into royalty and we'll rooted in the History and customs of their people.

Ooni said Ndi Igbo instituted Aje in Yorubaland, so should we believe you?

There is nothing like rubbishing historical authenticity. We don't have historical links with you guys we only taught you people commerce

Actually, the Igbos ,Bini, Eshan and Yorubas once spoke similar/same language 3000 years ago.
