This drunk, owanbe ooni should just spare serious minded yoruba sons and daughters of his usual rubbish and nonsense of mixing chaff with wheat.
What Adesoji and Sijuade never mentioned throughout their lifetime. Putting this guy as ooni is absolute desecration of ooni stool

Armaggedon:
Ooni is just a boy punching above his weight. No evidence Yorubas predate Bini people not to talk of Igbos who predate every single ethnic group in Nigeria with evidence.

According to archaeological evidence dating as far back as 3000 BC in Nsukka and Afikpo, the Awka- Orlu area by far constitute the oldest continuing settlement in Nigeria from where Igbos spread.

Infact, evidences abound to suggest that Igbos founded Ile ife before moving further south.

Linguistic evidence also suggest that Yoruba language developed from Igbo in the distant past.

What the Ooni has done is as bad as King Charles claiming that Germans migrated from England, instead of accepting the well established fact that the Anglo-Saxons were Germanic tribes that migrated from Northern Germany to Britain.

Dey lie to yourself.

Benin people came from Ile Ife.
Ibos migrated from Benin.

Whiteangel1234:
Ile Ife in Igbo means TONGUE OF LIGHT

In Simple Terms ; ILE-IFE in Igbo means TO SELL SOMETHING...

first it was benin, now igbo be like puccy juice don dey affect this king. Igbos that have ancient artificats and even pyramids.

Yoluba is currently the most steewpid tribe in Nigeria right now. This oniii of Ife must be a clown 🤡, the foolish man is a drunkard who waste his time on oloshos hence he ends up misyarning dust.

The idiot failed to prove that Benin is from Yoruba, now na Igbo the stupid werey man dey drag. Igbos that are way older than Roman empire? Igbo can be likened to the biblica Egyptians. Oooni is a Fool

Oga, stop smoking naira marley hemp, try Seun kuti own, he's still buying from his father's supplier.

Yoruba started from Igboland, some Igbos who had crossed the Niger migrated to Ile Ife started the yoruba race.

Ibos migrated from Benin.
According to legends, ibos were chased out of Benin due to their criminal activities.

Benin people migrated from Ile Ife.
Go and ask Obi of Onitsha.

if the bini's are not connected to the Yoruba's at all,why was their king being buried at ile- ife before?

Neither do we want to associate with you two-tongued snakes.
Tell your Ooni to snap out of his drug-induced hallucinations and leave Igbos out of his craphole.

If he makes too much noise again, Yoruba agberos will come and steal his staff and post for sale on Jiji again

Who needs u before..u will still run to the south at the end of it 😁

BitterTruth01:
Can a man be older than his ancestors ? The way Yoruba people try to rewrite history is astonishing

These are a people that did not have any history before an exiled Bini prince known as Izoduwa , came over to Ile-ife to rule the savage homo erectus he found there . They called him Oduduwa and that’s how yoruba history started less than 1000 years ago

Now Ooni is trying to raise hands at an ethnic group that has existed before the Roman Empire . That’s right. Igbo has been around since over 3000 BC. We’re currently in 2023 AD. So thats about 5000 years till date.

Igbo civilization is older than the Nok civilization
A man can never be older than his ancestors.

Don't mind them. They try to twist history o favour their narrative which is embedded in lies and fallacy.

From lies about them being the originators of Nollywood which was started by Igbos to this one.

These people never cease to amaze me.

I don't know what is wrong with you people. Oga the binis have no relation with you Yorubas. Stop misyarning dust.

If their king was buried at Ile ife, it means the binis founded Ile ife and one of oba's son called idozuwa went there upon discovering it's has small settlement of people decided to rule over them. Of course, he died and was buried there!

How then did Yorubas and Bini relate? Prove it!! Because in reality it's even the binis that founded ile ife yet you don't see them making noise about it.

It is stupidity for your Oni to drink and smoke only to get high and end up linking igbo to Ile ife when actually Igbo are older than Roman empire. Oni of Ife keeps embarrassing the Yorubas. What a clown calling himself king

🤷🏽‍♂️ will that prevent the touts littering yorubaland from stealing the ooni's staff?

Your guess is as good as mine

CSTRR:

Looking at an average Igbo and a Yoruba.

How will anybody say they came from the same place?

Do they even look alike?

Even the ibibios that look very similar to igbos won't claim same origin.

Ethnic origin is very complex and I hate how people try to simplify these things. You can't even establish the fact that all Yorubas even originated from Ife. Not to talk of Igbos they are farther away. The only place Igbo ancestors merged and met with Yoruba ancestors was in Ugbodu axis in Anioma and that's just a minute number of the whole population.

This is the same battle we face with those pushing the Bini and Eri origin. Trying to tie origins of a vast nation to a single place is nothing but an attempt to rewrite history.

Our origin is diverse.

Oba has spoken

I believe he's making reference to ugbo of Ondo

wowcatty:
Useless Ooni, you call yourself an Oba but talk like a slave each time you open your mouth. What a new level of stupidity! You look stupid and sound stupid too. You are probably drunk again, since they say you swim in liquor. Oloshi oba ajarabuka, awon alale and orisa ma a se e bi ata se nsoju for helping igbos weaken and drag Yoruba during this time when Yoruba should be all armed defending their land against igbos. So what's next? Steal thousands of hectares of land from Yoruba and sell to igbos?

Demn!!! This is highly disrespectful.
Pls Don't use social media to attract curse upon your generation, because you feel your identity is unknown.
Believe it or not, traditional instituted authorities commands spiritual respect, and that knows no boundaries in fishing out abusers, especially if you exhibit some elements of cultural affinity.

you will be fine

What did the Yoruba king smoke again

Neckpresser101:

"Ile ife " means to look at something in ìgbo language

Two of you are right

Ile ife: Ile; tongue, Ife ; light
Meaning tongue of light

Ile ife: Ile; look, Ife; something
Meaning look at something

It all depends on pronouncing it
The vowel and dipthongs sound

Seems this man has run berserk again. Last time it's was Yoruba's that migrated from Igbo's.
We are talking about centuries and this man is talking decades.was it a slip of tongue? If you really mean decades then Ife Igbo definitely migrated from Igbo land. See me see historian ooo.

“We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history,” the Ooni said.

Adaisback:
Too much ikpu is bad for your health. This Oba is high on ikpu water. Imagine nkogheri! This Oba should go back and read the story of Moremi very well and how she saved Ile ife from the Igbos. Igbo is the oldest tribe in Nigeria and one of the oldest in the world. Oba hie Isaa na Anya gi o

Listen and take note.

The story of Moremi of Ile Ife refers to the historical Ugbos of Ife who are PURE Yorubas NOT the Ibos of the area east of River Niger.

The Ugbos of Ife history are the same as the Ugbos in the oil and gas-rich Ilaje kingdom of Ondo State.

The great Ugbos of the oil and gas-rich Ugbo kingdom in the Yoruba-speaking Ilaje area of Ondo State have since many years back
WARNED you the Ibos in a several widely circulated press releases from the Royal Palace of the Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, the billionaire oil magnate, Oba Frederick Akinrutan to STOP distorting their ancestral history by calling them Ibos! They are Yorubas in origin whose forebears where instructed by Ifa to migrate from Ile Ife to their current location. There family compounds are still in existence in Ife till today with family members there.

The Yoruba word or name "Ugbo" is simply a DIALECTIC variant of the Yoruba word "Igbo" which both mean forest or bush.

The Ugbos are NOT Ibos. It is some morally-bankrupt Ibo propagandists and bloggers that falsely twisted the Yoruba word Ugbo to mean Ibo ethnic group when the original Moremi story does NOT suggest so.



IMPORTANT NOTE:
Lastly, there are major differences below between Yorubas and Ibo showing that both are NOT directly related historically:


1. Yorubas do NOT practice OSU and ohu discriminatory caste systems.

2. Yoruba marriages are very different from that of Ibos.

3. Yorubas have NO history of widely eating human beings for food (or cannibalism) before and after 1900 as reported by the killing and partial eating of a white man called Dr. Stewart in Mbaise in 1906 (with his bicycle tied to a tree to prevent it from escaping), and clearly written by the famous Onitsha-based European missionary, Reverend George T. Basden in his popular book "Among the Ibos of Nigeria."

Reverend George Basden wrote in his book [which can be downloaded for free and read in PDF] about the widespread eating of human beings in Ibo areas east of Onitsha, and some of his Ibo Christian converts confessed to him that they had been eating human beings for food.

There is a popular Colonial map of Nigeria which clearly shows the entire Ibo South East of Nigeria as a region where the primitive and widespread eating of human beings for food (cannibalism) was shown. Anioma peoples in Delta North, Edos, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Isokos, Yorubas, Efiks, Ibibios, etc, had NO such savage occurences. The map is online and uploaded on Nairaland.

4. The Ibos are snake or python worshippers (e.g, Idemili) and if you kill a python you will pay a heavy fine and bury it like a human being.

This is unlike the Yorubas who have NO known history of snake or python worship but are IFA devotees and adherants historically.


5. Yorubas never practiced the killing of twins because twins have for centuries been widely adored by Yorubas just like other children.

The Ibos have a history of twins killing or dumping into so-called evil forests before and after the great Scots missionary Mary Slessor arrived Nigeria in the 1800s and helped to stop the sickening and primitive practice.


And there are many more differences showing the Yorubas ethnicity are NOT directly related to the localised Ibo sub-tribes otherwise both groups would be sharing a lot of deep cultural histories in common!

Who this story help?

OmoGomesIlorin:


If one is to go by your submission, then the claim that Igbo are Jewish will be controversial.
For the bronze work found in Igboland, Trading might have made that possible.

We are not Jewish . There’s no scientific or DNA data to back that claim up .

Bro did you deliberately miss the part where it says iron smelting works ? Or pottery and tools ?
You know what iron smelting is right ?

This is absolute rubbish.

frankson1:





The same way some one wrote what you referenced and believe in, is the same way the Yoruba scholars want to write theirs.

They can write whatever they want but it will be easily debunked . There’s no anthropological, scientific or biological evidence to back their claim up .

OutOfTheAshes:

Brother I'm an Ibo man but please let's stop insulting the Ooni. He represents a spiritual authority.

you are indeed 'ibo'. Only a bastard or agbado retard will call or spell his tribe as 'ibo'. We already know where you belong you this yarobanza

The Ugbos were Igbos in ancient time and not disputable. Even the bolded clearly proves it because that word "Igbo" was never used to qualify as self expression but reference to ancient forest people who metamorphosed into today's Igbo. They occupied all of Southern Nigeria but never had a central leadership which was why other groups established in their lands to found new groups. The Orus and Igbos are the most ancient people in Nigeria and metamorphosed into Igbo and Ijaw.
