So much distortion of history.

Edo, Ekiti, Oyo, Ijesha, Ijebu are all members of the Same ethnic group.
That's simple.

In terms of history and events.
it's ignorance that makes people believe humans come from the sky.

Igodo- 1st ogiso of Igodomigodo is from ancient ijaw area and not from they sky.
he built a stable kingdom and name it after himself "Igodomigodo" and established "Uselu" as his capital.

Oduduwa wasn't from Mecca, that's foolish lies.
Oduduwa as claimed by bini was the son of Owodo- last ogiso.
some unexposed research(which I have feeds on) seem to link Iwo as Oduduwa's possible birthplace.

Ancient Iwo people(present day Ondo) were Ife sibling nations before Oduduwa's grandsons led squads to over populate all their surroundings and became kings in their new found nations.
They shared a similar culture and language that An Iwo man could be mistaken for an Ife man unlike Igodomigodo that shared almost nothing with Ife. Ife and Iwo high chiefs wore similar beaded crowns unlike Ogiso
When Oduduwa came he was understood perfectly and welcomed wearing a beaded crown.

There were even other Towns east of Ife eg. Idanre, so the fact that Oduduwa came from the east doesn't mean he came from far away North East(Mecca) or South East(Bini)

I am not debunking the claim of Oduduwa coming from Igodomigodo but I feel that shouldn't be resolved as fact. Iwo seems more legit


To the issue of Oduduwa coming from the sky. Oduduwa here is not Oduduwa(the king).
This is a confusion with mixing spirituality with history.

Oduduwa is a symbolic representation of the Force of creation, the very dark energy that Carries atoms which in turn forms matter as the universe expands and evolves

These are simple facts


Why leave exposed research and follow the unexposed.
Well that he blended well does not mean he spoke the same language. The white man came to Nigeria and they blended well.

that post was actually years ago. I possess more knowledge on the matter now

Shortly put... Odùduwà did not come from igodomigodo
If you want research, check out Odùduwà's connections to oke-ora and the Obadio lineage
