Drop your weed and don't posting cultural revisionism from insecurity. There are different theories on Oduduwa among culturalists of yoruba land, and none of them includes him being from Benin. Oduduwa could have been one of the many Kings of yoruba Land, a yoruba man, famed in history for his time of rulership being peaceful.

He could also be a mythical figure, as he can also be put in the Yoruba creation story which involves Ife being the starting point of humanity. Newsflash many ethnicity has such figures and founders of their race, who wasn't actually a real person buried anywhere. This father concept, where a mythical man singularly birthed an ethnicity and Language is in some other ethnicities. But mythical figure or not, he was a yoruba man through and through and the ideology that surrounds him.

Oduduwa was also said to be from North up, "East" of the world, which can mean a migration theory of Yorubas coming from there. Oduduwa broken down means The Black man has come, in yoruba, O- du- du- wa, so it was definitely Black people, not another race. The next one can it together. Oduduwa's Father is said to be Lamurudu. Lamurudu = Nimrod.

You should read up on Nimrod. If this theory is true, and Oduduwa was an historical person and not a myth, then it ties into coming from the East of the world, and Nimrod was who his tower of Babel sparked a separation of a collective world Language into many and people leaving together with their ethnic groups.

So those are the theories on Oduduwa, all Yoruba in nature. He still remains a mythical figure though, unless anyone can point out his grave and prove of existence.

Hello God's and Goddesses-
I am very intrigued by this thread. The title hit me like a lightning bolt and I immediately thought "I can see this happening, this has merit in terms of what I know about the Devils that we call Europeans ".

What if most of what we have been taught is a complete LIE?

I mean damn, it's not like we all can say with certainty that Oduduwa and many other things have not been weaponized against us.

I enjoy the challenge. Let's see what we can discover �

How can oduduwa be a Yoruba man when the word Yoruba or yaribaaa, was a nickname given to some nameless people in eighteen century by Fulani during Fulani colonisation

If Oduduwa came from the east of Yoruba Benin is the east of Yoruba is time for you guys to accept fact in world map Benin has always show to be east of Oyo from ancient time.

Even if Oduduwa came from east far across Nigeria it must have get to Benin first before going to Ife every map point Benin as the east of ife. Ife - Benin.

East as in the middle East, Eastern side of the globe, upward of north africa is another way it's described, not East of "Nigeria". The Oduduwa myth has nothing to do with Benin and this you're saying that came out of thin air by Edos who want to be linked with the starting of Yorubas, is not only foolish because it doesn't exist in yoruba mythology but also because Oduduwa is a myth, not a real person. Ethnicities are not born from one man. So rest. Ife is not Benin, and if there's any links between Edo and yoruba, Edo Will be the child, as Edo is also a minority group too.

Yoruba wasn't given to the Yorubas by Fulanis, because ancient letters before Yorubas ever met Fulanis show Arab traders refer to Yorubas as "Yorubas" because it was what they called themselves. This Yoruba nonsense is a myth that played on after some political insults. Yoruba also doesn't exist in Fulani language and has no etymological meaning in it.

The Portuguese knew Benin kingdom and they wrote about it even Britain did too but no one heard about yaribaaa untill Fulani colonisation in 18 century, how come arab vanished into yaribaaa land without passing through some where, Lagos was Benin territory then so where arab come pass liar

It is on record that oduduwa fell from the sky this is the claim of your forefathers is too late you can't change it now

While oduduwa is a missing Benin prince who fled Benin to ife this Benin forefathers claim no one will change it

The guy said Edo is minority ok I agreed but Edoid is not this includ Uhobo and Isoko. And Edo might be small now but in the history it was more bigger than Yoruba.

It’s actually a thing of joy whenever I remember that only an idiot will believe whatever an Edo/Bini clown types.

Failed.The Sun does not rise from Bini, isn't it ? Besides, oduduwa has no link with Edo nor Bini until generations after he had died.

The generation who intertwined with the people of Bini were Oranmiyan, the son of Ogun,who incidentally was a descendant of Oduduwa.

Therefore null this notion about Oduduwa. The king who was on the throne during the era of Oranmiyan was Obalufon Ogbogbodirin(orator king who later at old age turned to iron).

Fezz:


The sooner you understand he is not your "oduduwa", the better for you. He only migrated to ile-ife after he ran away from Igodomigodo .. even the igalas also attest to this.. Lmao

How stupid!!

Oduduwa the great. A man in the countenance of the gods. You said he ran away..

Idiot.

Yoruba is the source of Benin anytime,anyday.

Turned to iron indeed lol..

Redbonesmith please help me modify and edit out my email in the last comment you made, thank you

davidnazee:

Obálùfọn Ogbógbódírin is not a family member of Odùduwa.

And his family Arole(Head of his house hold) position remains part of people who must perform their role in Ascension of new Ooni who must come from Oranmiyan's ruling household of Lajamisan.


So, if someone like me inform you, then hold the information sacred because I am knowledgeable about these things through Ileife sources.
