altitudee... that is not shabby history... it is original history. The Igbo were aboriginal to Ile Ife. The Yorubas are the permanent settlers there now and have even successfully assimilated the aborigines (kudos to Yoruba for that). Igbos came from many places but have one culture, Igbo culture. Nothing to be ashamed of in that. There are Igbos that came from Israel, Egypt, even Benue (the Olu Igbos), some from Ibibio (a large number of the Aro Empire of Igbo Land), etc. There may even be Igbos whose ancestors were once Yoruba. We are researching into that and will announce if we find anything. But once you are Igbo, you are Igbo, no discriminations, no differentiations.

Take the English people for instance. Some came from Brittany (France); others from Saxony (Germany). Today, they are English. That is history for you. So, when people say the aborigines of Ile Ife were Igbo, it is not necessarily said to denigrate Yorubas who are a great civilization.

Where in Sudan speaks the same language as the Ijebu?

google what? a shabby history there are more than three different history about the first settlers in Ile Ife...by the way where are the igbos from? thank you...

igbodefender:
What part of what was written is a lie? That Igbos were the original people of Ile Ife before Oduduwa and Moremi? Or that Obatala was the Oba Igbo? Research it if you think it is false. Google is just a click away. Truth is sacrosant. Google about what happened in Ife 1000 years ago (Moremi vs her Igbo King husband Obatala Oreluere).

But as I said, Odudwa's order (the Oodua Order or Yoruba order is in charge now, and will not be overturned). Everyone realizes that.So, you can relax. But respect history, please.4

igbodefender:
What are you saying? The matter concerns Igbos because history says Igbos were the original people in Ile Ife. This was before Oduduwa and Moremi Ajesoro (who married Obatala the Oba Igbo) came.

That aside, under the present order of Oduduwa (which cannot be overturned), Ooni is the leader of Yoruba kings, together with Alaafin.

hornyofife:
Yoruba obas, when you see them, you will know them. one thing is common among them. They are confused and dont even know where they came from


from Oba of lagus to hor.ny of ife to olugbo of onugbu to that yahoo king in osun (someone should remind me his name again) and the one from ijebu who says they are from sudan....hmmm

The Thunder that has been doing press-up in nairaland gym just striked one Baale of Idumota some days back. Maybe this is the Thunder's next target. The Tupac kind should ask Baale of Idumota why he (Akiolu) was running helter-skelter after being rude to Ooni the Arole Oodua. The god himself, the god of all Yoruba gods including Sango, Ogun, Oya, Obatala, e.t.c. Arole Oodua's only superior in heaven and earth is the God almighty, the omnipotent and omnipresent which Ooni praises and worships everyday and everynight.

[color=#1980BC]Op your number 5 is flawed.

How about young girls who are already having sagged boobs like slippers and they are far from reaching menopause. That's why they wear padded bras upandan.

What do you think is the cause of their own? [/color]
