The world Igbo was given to Ibos by Ajayi crowther. The Aborigines of Ile Ife are Ugbo and their current king is Oba Dr Fredrick Enitolorunda Obateru Akinruntan. Ooni is the Yoruba spiritual head, and he is the Arole, so he is the number 1 Yoruba citizen. Ibos in the SE are nothing but prey to the Ijaws during the slave era. Asari dokubo confirmed it. 1 Like 1 Share |

This was what Obi of Onitsha explained the other day but some paid lunatics deliberately turned it upside down. |

Armaggedon: Nobody turned anything upside down. It is folks like you that are actually trying to create confusion where none exist. Ile Ife is the centre of creation and the source of humanity. All tribes and ethnicities migrated from the source where life started - Ile Ife. Your Nri kings migrated from Ife. The Obi of Onitsha migrated from Ado (Edo) to Onitsha. However, it’s also in Onitsha history that they originally migrated from Ile Ife to Ado (Edo) before migrating to Onitsha. There is no controversy about this. 1 Like |

seunmsg:This one is already shaking out of insecurity. Pls what does "original inhabitants" mean? The Igbo were the original inhabitants of Ife and had installed, and practiced a culture based on their ancient Odinala religion of peace, of the divine rights of the individual and not of kings, of the protection and validation of the weak and infirm, of an artistic and creative value rather than of war and destruction. All these values are embodied in the myth of Obatala the sculptor and creative “demiurge” of current Yoruba mythology. You can continue with your feel-good fairy tale of the universe starting in Ile ife. We all talk ourselves into comfort but it can't be substituted with carefully research, as the professor has done.

Ugbo is different from Igbo. The Ugbos are still in Ondo state. There's Olugbo of Ugbo. His story aligns with the story of how Moremi helped the Ifes to conquer the Ugbos. She pledged her son, Oluorogbo and gave herself up to be captured by the Ugbos so as to study them to ensure their defeat, which came to pass. Moremi was from Offa but married into the royal family of Ife. 1 Like 1 Share |

Chinua Achebe died at 83, and still couldn't achieve what Prof. Wole Soyinka had already achieved. Prof. Soyinka will be 90 in few weeks but still more intelligent and smarter than your Peter Obi who is still in his early 60s. There are levels to these things my people, Prof. Wole Soyinka is not your father's mate |
