Oranmiyan is the son of Oduduwa (the progenitor of the Yoruba race). Oranmiyan was a warrior, a King, an Adventurer and a traveller. This is why he was one of the most travelled Kings in Yoruba history. I guess He just wanted to see the world. He travelled from Ile Ife to Benin, from Benin he founded the Oyo Empire. He even went as far as Dahomey (now Benin Republic). This is one of the reasons why I took special interest in him. He is one of my favourite characters in the Yoruba History. He must have lived a fulfilled life.

I have heard a lot about the Oranmiyan Staff, They claimed it is over a thousand years, Some even said there is radiocarbon evidence to prove that.
According to the priest at the shrine, he said after he left Benin city, he founded Oyo Empire, he decided to come back home to Ile Ife. To regain his father's throne.

He became the King of Ile Ife. But as an adventurer, he decided to go on another adventure but this time, he wanted to go alone. His people were worried that he may not come back or something bad might happen to him. Or worse case another city may invade them. So he told them should there ever be a time where they get invaded, they should make some incantations, he will be right there.

Not too long after he went on exile, a neighbouring city decided to invade them. So his wife quickly made those incantations. Legend has it that he appeared from the sky with his horse like a burning chariot, devouring everything on its way. Not knowing that he was also killing his people including his best friend. ON realizing his wrongs, he came he struck the ground with his staff and ever since, it has become a rock-like object.

. Oranmiyan Staff which is at Ile-Ife is a representation of the staff he was using when he was on earth.Inside the fenced land where it is located at Ife is the shrine of the warrior where he is atoned with sacrifices till today.Nobody dare to enter the place unattorized .Such an intruder will be stung with bees.It is said that when Oranmiyan disappeared from the surface of the earth he told Ife people to call him when there was a war.Ife people once created a false alarm making Oranmiyan to appear again and be killing people anyhow until he stopped at Iremo when he knew he had been killing his people. Iremo means "where the killing with sword stopped" Since then he said nobody would see him again .So it has been Before the staff was fully fenced young ones usually came to staff and looked at it ignorantly.

I perused through the article while blazing my weed as I put on my intellectual cap

I must say the article is trying to validate the fact that Binis are the fathers of yorubas especially the people of ile ife

Oranmiyan was the one that coined the Benin word and Ile Ife has bn in existence then

Baba. Read it again. He was originally from Ile Ife. He migrated to Benin and then came back to Ife.

Have the govt fixed that road yet ....

chrisxxx:
I have no intention to set here on fire.
Did he move from Ile Ife to Benin or Originally from Benin to establish Ile Ife?
Benin and Ile Ife which came first?

The op made mistakes. He used his Yoruba tongue.
Oranmiyan is the great grandson of Oduduwa. Oduduwa only have one son and his name is Okanbi.
Ile Ife has been in existence long before Oduduwa. Obatala was the last king of his lineage before Oduduwa defeated him.

Let's be serious here.
We are already way behind most of the developed world, every minute counts and impacts our future generations. Ordinary agriculture, some of our people still depend on ancient technology. We talk too much with little to show as a people, let's develop our societies by encouraging innovation not this fruitless focus on some tales by moonlight typically met with threats of some supernatural repercussion when questioned as expected in a productive society.

Idolatry people.

Why didn't they do their incantations when that small Modakeke town was hitting them hot-hot.

Elebo no fit get sense. That's how one werey dey disguise as bird for Anambra yesterday.

Abeg I can't laff jare. Awon hoeponu ayirada.

Lol! I swear, all their dead god's couldn't save them. Even Ooni Sijuade had to run away to London. If not for marceneries from Ekiti, Oyo and Modakeke warriors would have overun Ile-Ife and burn down the palace.

Done @alphacustoms

Good story, but more research work is needed to confirm the appearance on the sky.

But come to think of it,how can a man hold dis big staff and walk comfortably

No don't say that
You're not a real niggar
From the article; the real niggar in the story travelled from Benin to form the Oyo Empire
Which is part of the Yoruba race, it's evident that he went from ile Ife to Benin for fortifications which without it he'd never have accomplished later exploits.
Sometimes what real NIGGARS understand after smoking a jumbo sized Mali kush, people like youight never got the picture that's why I say smoke a full jumbo sized Mali kush for full unlocking of your logical capabilities
Do you even know what is involved when a real niggar puts on his intellectual cap

That is Obatala was a king in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came?

You are doing a nice job. I'm very sure you will surpass your milestone of 1000 followers as you requested.

As a fellow in content publishing, I will advice you come up with beautiful contents like this and get them on Quora.com. check for space or you can create one dedicated for naija or African contents. A lot of those whitty wants to know more about Africa especially Nigeria and her rich culture.

I have few guys who enrich us with topics like this on quora doing over 250k views and still counting. Now imagine yours with this detail you provided here.

I think you can also do more on PIntertest but you have to be more crafty as that has more to do with visualization and few words driven. But you can hit high if you can strategically work out something along my guide here.

Hope to see you over there soon!

That's cool. I used to see it everyday too on my way to Primary school.

Legend has it that any man who touches that staff SEVEN TIMES with his erect member, will become totally irresistible to beautiful young busty women, and will also be empowered to service those women non-stop for 7 hours in a stretch, during the course of which the man's staff of office will enlarge by half-an inch per hour.

You heard it here in Nairaland, first.

Months ago, I wrote the view below in response to a topic being discussed with a highly respected and cerebral Nairalander, I think the aspect of that opinion reproduced is apposite to this discussion.

"I would like us to look at another related issue to the one being discussed here ... namely; the legend of Kisra and the truth about the stele at ife called "Opa oranmiyan".

I have read about Kisra but the materials I read were all about the myth. It appears nobody has anything factual or concrete about him.

I have developed this "crazy" theory that the man Kisra actually existed; that the stele at ife was a marker for his grave made by his followers who thereafter ended their plan to return to their homeland through the sea; that the knowledge about carving of style was foreign to ife and that the stele at ife predated both Oduduwa and oranmiyan.

I reached the above conclusions after tracing the history and existence of steles in West Africa and Nigeria in particular. I discovered that apart from the ife stele, none existed anywhere else in Nigeria.

In West Africa, researchers found an Islamic era steles in Mali -hope I am right-said to have been imported from Almeria, Spain. It is believed that successive muslim rulers in the area commissioned it from Spain to commemorate their rules.

The only place where stone monolith were used extensively as grave markers or to commemorate great events (obelisks) is Ethiopia. I believe practice spread to lower Nile areas ie Sudan and with the conquest of Egypt and establishment of black dynastic rule in that country, the practice spread there.

I agree with the opinions of some of the writers that around or about the beginning of the Islamic era, either a prince, an army commander, a king or a royal party sought a redoubt in Africa after losing a war at home. I will not speculate about where this "home " is.

I also believe that they wandered through the Savannah and later the Sahel looking for access to the sea. They followed the course of the Niger river initially but the difficulty of provisioning for their large entourage made them to move instead from one large town to another which they either pillaged or were welcomed. Some of them remained behind.

The Borgu oral history reference the presence of an entourage amongst them at point in their history and as a matter of fact, the ruling cast of Borgu are believed to have descended from a man called Kisra.

Similarly, the popular Hausa myth about a certain Bayajida who was a son of king of Baghdad and became a saviour resonates with the Borgu story.

Here is the high point of this speculation, I do not think black Africa below the Sahel developed the monarchical system independently. I believe a better organized conquerors brought the system and imposed it on them. They in turn became acultured to the host community.

The technical knowhow on how to carve a stele is absent at ife to date; the knowledge about how to write or make the inscription on the stele or what it means is lost to the Ifes; there is no similar stele anywhere in ife or West Africa generally that is either still standing or fallen.

Is it possible that there was another equally important leader at ife before the advent of Oduduwa and oranmiyan who history has forgotten?"
