The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu I, has debunked claims that Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race, was the last born of an Igbo prince.

Reacting to Ohaneze Ndigbo counter claim to a statement by Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II that Igbo community originated from Ile-Ife, the Oluwo insisted the alleged claim by Ohaneze Ndigbo was not correct and misleading.

Ohaneze Ndigbo had claimed: “Odudunwa (Last born), later called Oduduwa was an Igbo Prince, who occupied Ile-Ife but the Yoruba saw him as a god because he was very powerful and had magical powers.

“The Yorubas learnt and spoke Igbo language then and that is the reason for the similarity between Igbo and Yoruba language.”
