Oduduwa in Yoruba is translated as Odu- to- da- iwa meaning the oracle that created(or bequathed) good behaviour.




Odutodaiwa is different from Oduduwa.

Yoruba language is very specific.



Even though difficult to believe,Oduduwa might have been from Igbo area.The name Oduduwa or odua is still born till this day in Igboland.I have an old relative that bears the name.

wHat we must all know is that oduduwa is not yoruba's name. It was the name the man was bearing before he came to yoruba people let us just find the root of the name and the tribe that is bearing such in the world

[quote author=n-guage]How are we sure Oduduwa isn't like the Columbus of Yorubaland? What I am trying to say is that it is very possible that people already lived in that particular part before Oduduwa came from Ethiopia, Saudi-Arabia or wherever he came from. There has to be a reason he is regarded as the "father/founder," but what is that reason?
Was he the first to unite the people?
Was he the first King when the people decided to choose one?
Did he come from a "more developed" culture and thus was able to influence a lot of things in Yorubaland?[/quote]. I watch a film titled oduduwa and learnt there that he was the one that brought civilisation to them but he met these people with their language and culture.in fact,some of those that are heading the sffairs of the state initially didn't accept him as their leader but majority of them accepted because ifa had already told them about him

[Modern xtian are like Jews when Jesus came to them. Heed God's words so you can be save]verily today I have completed your religion and I have chosen for you the religion of peace

[quote author=manny4life]Most of these Muslims have confused identities, some of them call God, I asked one day, how are you a Muslim, yet you call God? I thought it was "Allah"? U also have your native name for God,in yorubaland we call Him Olorun.does dat mean itz nt d same God you call in English ! Wisen up .Olorun,Chineke,Ubangiji,God and Allah.xtian in Egypt also call Him Allah because that is their language
