The ife-artworks has has always been a controversial topic for most anthropologist and authors on the originality of the artworks, but most times the controversy are always short-lived, anthropologist believe the ife artworks were not originally of ife orgin, they believe the yoruba people had migrated to the location ife were they found the artworks and began worshipping them and even began practicing the facial scarification on the artworks, some authors believed believed the ife people had found it somewhere the original people left it and they took it to ife and from ife it got to other yorubas areas
This doubt had risen from the lack of adornment of the artworks by the ife people likewise the lack of information of the people who had made the artworks in ife, the regalia had been also different from the regalia of the yoruba people when they first originally came in contact with the yoruba people,
Unlike the benin artwork which was adorned by the oba and benin people and it showed by historical details of thier past that made more sense that thse artworks were originally the artworks of benin peole

This are just reconsideration of ife artworks, the quest of tracing the ife artworks has been impossible believing the original people had gone extinct

Dumb, please stop � mentioning me in your stupid ideology. Everyone knows even White, the Brazil, the Benin Republic, Ghana, Togo, Ivory Coast knows that IFE have been the ancient Kingdom. Because I have not see where story of benin being mentioned in those countries I mentioned. But IFE and Oyo were know all over as empire.

Please stop � tagging me in your stupid adventure and revolution ideology.

Odùduwà is not an Arab man, but according to my findings. There are aborigines living in that land called mecca before the Arab came to pursue or wage war on them. This cause them to desert their land to find a new part. This is common things that happened those days. That is most reason for cross migration.

Then history said Lamurudun who is the leader of his tribe migrate to a place now called ILẸ̀ IFE. According to my findings on his way coming from Middle East, some of his people who are tired settle in place like Nupe, Borgu and they are Ibariba people.

There have always been a kind of ethnic relationship between tapa and Yoruba. So Lamurudun died on the way, could not reach ILẸ̀ IFE with his people, but his son ODÙDUWÀ took his people to the promise land which is today called ILẸ̀ IFE. The Ancestry home of all Ọmọ Oodua.

So, the history even said that he met some settler in Ìfẹ́ and he introduced the kingship and kingdom administration which Yoruba are known for till today.

Odùduwà gave birth to Okanbi. And it is history that the birth of Oranmiyan came through the mate of ODÙDUWÀ and his son Okanbi with same woman.

That is why it is believe that Oranmiyan is special and powerful, he left ilé ifẹ on special invitations of people of ILẸ̀ IBINU from Ogiso by asking Île ife to send his Prince to help structure the kingship and kingdom of Ado (Edo) . So Oranmiyan went to ilé Ado (Edo) but on getting, he found out that they were aggressive, some of the local chief disagree with the way he ruled them. Spying on him everywhere. He created the structure of kingship and became the first Ọba of Benin. He married one their chief daughter who gave birth to Eweka.

The rebellion within the ADO (EDO) people was too much, so Oranmiyan left everything to go back to ifẹ. So after some time the Ogiso came to beg for him to come back, he said he will not go back to ILẸ̀ IBINU (now known as ILẸ̀ BENIN) instead he asked they should crowned his SON (EWEKA) who is legit direct descendant of ODÙDUWÀ.
