Fadomero:
who oduduwa help, so sick and tired of this country with dirty story

A hungry man is an angry man.

fairfora:
Everybody should just stop being myopic on this matter please. If obi of onitsha said the real dwellers of ile ife were the igbos, he may be right . Because when our forefather odu to da iwa got to ile ife, he didn't meet goats, rams , monkeys and/or chimpanzees. He met human beings , likewise when his son got to Benin, he met people already doing their things. In the olden days, powerful people staged wars and conquered territories. It's possible oduduwa conquered those he met in ile ife and displaced them. This is quite possible. I've researched about the igbos and some things we have in common. The way they pronounce some things has proved it all, which we also share in common.

what a sensible comment,
One that is very rare on nairaland

funmijoyb:
Obi of Onitsha started all this.
Is shameful Igbo and Edos are claiming Oduduwa cheaply. Who doesn't like good thing.? When did igbo started having rulers? Nor b yesterday? Hausas too are still claiming him too.

Oduduwa was a Yoruba leader and his direct son founded OWO (Ondo-State) , Ajashe(Benin Republic) etc while his great great great grandsons Oranmiyan founded Benin (Edo State)

The Oba of Benin 's official Palace language was Yoruba before it was banned in 1946. Oba and Olori are Yoruba title

I regret the outburst of d Ooni of ife.. He should not have said anything but again Obi of Onitsha started it all.

Odudunwa our last born sent to the west.

Odùduwà met someone at Ilé-Ifè. He met Lamurudu and according to stories, there was no fight at all between Odùduwà and ìfẹ́ people..

Mmmmmm Jesu MI ooooooooo, Thats ur own tribe history and am not surprised igbos like claiming what does not belong to them. Do your findings very well about Yoruba, and if you get this name (yahaba) you will Know where Yoruba originated from and what form Yoruba name.

goodnessme1:
Who is the father of oduduwa,did oduduwa really fell down from sky.



Mean while it your oba that -is trying to do what yorubas a good in doing(rewriting history)just to claim Great Igbos and yoruba are related, then we will help you do that,


fact now is oduduwa which mean odudu nwa(last born) is the founder of yorubas,

oduduwa(last born) was wicked,envy and greed,he was last born but he want to take over all her father's properties, which in igbo land the first son owns the obi,while the last born owns the mother's nkpuke,but because of his greediness he want to claim everything,

he tried to kill his brothers but his plans failed,that was why he was banished out of igbo land,[s]then he went to west where he settled and married an ido woman,who give birth to the people called Yorubas now.[/s]

non of the above, according to history Yoruba originated from Saudi Arabia, long way jouney someone called yahaba died and when they finally land at Ile ife they remember yahaba. That's where the name yoruba form. Not full story I no get time to dey type

BlackfireX:
Question where did oduduwa come from?


From the east side or northern side of Nigeria...?


Answer this question and you will find the truth.

fantasticone1:

Oduduwa is from an Arabic country not Nigeria.

tell them Oooooh, make them read their history well. E be like this igbo people sef no get history.

If is like that then obi is from osun

if you say oduduwa mean odudu nwa, then Igbo in Yoruba means Bush. Then by using your lie tactics, is it okay to say Yoruba people name you people Igbo (Bush) because Igbo people (Bush people) were living in the bush before they came in contact with Yoruba. So Yoruba introduced Igbo people (Bush people) to ancient civilization. How about that?

Nice story though

Wow. This sounds like a real accurate historical account of the whole thing.

omo Igbo, abeg, do more research so you can reduce the whole thing in writing by writing a history book. I have not seen anyone puts it so simple and intelligently as you just did.

Impressive!

really if history is not important to you what is then? abi dis one na hunger? it is said when one feels the pangs of hunger in a serious way nothing matters than how to fill his stomach. No wonder, the biblical Esau was willing to sell his birthright. God help us .

someone is here telling you possible facts and you're throwing insults everywhere.
Where did Oduduwa come from? So many Yoruba elites have alluded to connection between the Igbo's and Yoruba's and with admissible evidence.
It's not by doing gara gara,fact is fact.

Westsida:



You dey mind them. Those wey sabi history sabi say nah nonsense some of this obas dey yarn.

For rulers of such esteem to say something like that,it shouldn't just be dismissed by a mere wave of hand if you have interest in learning.
There are several similarities between the two groups that can't just be wished away.
By the way,have you ever tried to research more on what these Obas said before spewing rehearsed lines?

Opiletool:



Oga you know nothing about yoruba history. Not all Yorubas are descendants of oduduwa. He never founded shit. As a matter of fact, his sons never did as well, they were only welcomed into some communities and made kings. Ask yourself, if they truly founded where they were crowned king, why don't we all speak the same dialect?

As for those people oduduwa conquered, go and read about the ugbo people of ilaje, the descendants of obatala, then will you be enlightened.

Hmmm. Wa gbayi. The truth is beginning to unravel. Ilajes are the descendants of ijaws and the ijaws were from rivers...

Olawalesmarter:


You are just ignorant, you still don't know your History very well not all Yoruba sub tribes descended from Oduduwa some of them are part of the first settler in Ile ife

You're the ignorant one here.
Those other 'Yoruba sub-tribe',where did they come from? I guess you don't know.
Where did Oduduwa come from? You don't know.
How come Igbo's and Yoruba's have strong similarities? You don't know.
The only thing you know is that Oduduwa came from heaven, met unknown people and founded the Yoruba kingdom. smh.

Olawalesmarter,you need to do independent research and stop regurgitating falsehoods.
Almost every African tribe had the history of killing twins. It wasn't just peculiar with the southeastern part of Nigeria.
Just do a simple research and find out the truth.

There's no history of killing twins in Yorubaland. Twins were actually venerated.

Killing twins was never in Yoruba culture and we never tagged twins as evil like Igbo but some people still killed twins due to the burden and financial restraints not because they believe they were evil like Igbo while all wealthy and financially buoyant families kept theirs and anyone that believe they could take care of theirs could keep them without any uproar from the society, until Shango totally banned the killing and made it mandatory to keep them whether you are Rich or not

The case is like people doing abortion in this modern times and then someone made a law and banned abortion

Yoruba and Igbo don't have any strong similarities if you believe they do then list out the similarities

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilaje

Ilaje are part of Yoruba

I can edit and unedit wiki. It's not a reliable source of information. I prefer historical books. I've visited ese odo ( ilaje area) before .They dont speak real yoruba. Likewise the ido-ani people. I'm not against your submission bro. All I was saying is, lamurudu oo, obatala oo, it doesn't matter. Oduduwa came to ife and met people . Lamurudu was just one person and obatala was also just one person, out of many people oduduwa met. Over the years, as people migrate from one place to another, tongues change , names change, culture get mixed up, even faces change. Some people would travel for months by trekking or horse riding in those days. Some would return while some wouldn't for the reason best known to them. They would settle and stay put wherever they like. The itsekiris for instance migrated from ile ife some migrated from ondo. Likewise the igalas. In fact, an igalaman would understand yoruba if he goes to yorubaland for the first time. They migrated from yorubaland. I dont know how far it's true. I learnt igalas migrated from oyo. Our wa jeun( come and eat) is same in igala. An igalaman had spoken to his brother in my presence in Abuja in the past and I could hear all they were saying. On the igbos. We shouldn't just waive aside what both ooni and obi were saying.

Ilaje is Yoruba and I believe it was someone from Ilaje that submitted that on Wikipedia, it is impossible for someone from other tribe to do it for them, however Yoruba and Igbo are not related and it is even obvious to the dead
