I understand your obsession with everything Yoruba. It's just like the black man's obsession with everything American. The tendency to always try to piggyback on your betters is overwhelming in your case. If ever the Ooni mentioned something like this, then here is who he was referring to: The Ugbo people that now currently inhabit a part of Ondo state close to the riverine area. They were a part of Ile-Ife and their father was the chief consort for Oduduwa, Oranfe the man who brought out fire from his mouth. Till today, his house is called Oranfe, onile ina (House of Fire) The first born of that chief consort behaved badly and sought to inherit his father while he was still alive but on a journey with Oduduwa. The son had thought his father would die on the journey but his father came back and banished him forever. He left Side and began to inhabit the surrounding forest close to Ife. That's why they are called Ugbo or Igbo people. Note that Igbo in Yoruba means bush or forest. So in other words, they were the bush people. The man became their first king, i.e the Olugbo of Igbo/Ugbo kingdom which kingdom still exists somewhere in Ondo state today. It was these same Ugbo/Igbo people who used to carry out raids on Ife people, whom Queen Moremi defeated and wrote her name in gold forever. Sorry to disappoint you expansionist land grabbers and land thieves, the Igbo or Ugbo mentioned in connection with Ife is not the Biafrans of today. 4 Likes |

I have been wondering how you guys claiming to know it all headed up of mocking yourself. The likes you got here just show that average of igbo people are stark illiterate. In the 18th and 19th century, the standard rule was to say ‘an historian’, but over the course of the 20th century, American English has tended to shift away from that and say ‘a historian’. But British English still tends to say ‘an historian’. Even despite that Nigeria are using British version .I grew up watching a lot of British television shows and apparently this somehow crept into my English, because ‘an historian’ simply feels natural to me and ‘a historian’ feels clumsy. Every time I try to say it the American way, it just feels ugly and wrong. EzeNri: 2 Likes |

Does ile ife have a Yoruba meaning? It actually does have a perfect meaning in Igbo. That should be a pointer that an Igbo man actually named that town. This information is hidden in plain sight. 5 Likes 1 Share |

hotwax: Do Ugbo people also have an Eze Nri? Don't you think it makes better sense for me to believe the historical opinion of Ooni of Ife, than by a person named HOTWAX ![]() ![]() ![]() You have to know Igbos are way too ancient. MDW Jeffreys even recorded that Eze Nri Obalike (the last true Eze Nri in the mould of ancient Eze Nris) crowned Oba of Benin. The title OBA, is an Umu Nri title. The title is born by Nri people and some other Igbos now. The departed Eze Nri Obidiegwu Onyesoh, was an Oba, before he ascended the ancient royal stool as Eze Nri Enwelana II, in honour of his great grand father who was the Eze Nri Enwelana I. Igbos are way more ancient that Igodomigodo (which is even an Nri offshoot), Benin and Ife. 4 Likes |
