Yesterday was the saddest day in my life. I was at a park
when i saw a woman seriously complaining about her stolen
phone. So I went near her to listen to what she was saying.. I
was also downloading something with my phone at that
same time.. immediately she saw my phone she told the
crowd that's her phone which was Samsung galaxy S6 Edge..


For a moment i couldn't even open my mouth, i was so
confused. she held me and slapped me. the crowd
attempted to beat me up. But luckily a policeman was
passing by and he came into the scene.. He asked what was
going on and i explained with tears all over my face.. He sent
me to the police station together with the woman and I still
explained to the policeman that i was innocent.. So the
policeman asked the woman to call her phone.. she called
and a girl picked and told the woman it was her daughter.
The girl told the woman that she left her phone at home
when she was leaving to town


... I even cried more and more
because I had already been disgraced .. The policeman told
the woman to settle me with some money.. The woman
pulled 5million naira out of her bag and wanted to hand it
over to me but it was just too much for me so i just opened
my eyes, stood up from my bed and went to urinate.

I tot you are Yoruba na

Alright let me try.

The past is shrouded in mystery, all we are left with of the pre-historic era are words built around heroes of the culture, some classic artifacts and certain puzzling patterns that if harnessed may help our understanding of Yoruba history for instant.

Such patterns exist in fixed oral text, place names and genealogical traditions kept in Yoruba families. The elements of Yoruba history is linked to Yoruba family pedigree. We need to harness such and sift history from it, rather than invent history.

Yoruba spoken word is very potent, many secrets are concealed in Yoruba spoken words thann you have in the heart of men. Yorubaland for instance is not Yorubaland from inception, but 'ile Aye' or 'home of the matriarch' so who was the matriarch?

The saying 'aye loja orun nile" implies that Yoruba migrants came to do business in Yorubaland and look to a time they will trace their origin back to their wellsource. I understand the same phrase has different connotation here and now, that's religious muddling up tradition.

Now, the Oja is establishing colonies in this part of Africa by 'awon omo ara Ye' (kindred of the matriarch). The head of each colony is Oloja, as in one who discover a habitable colony. The search parties involved were the Owas and their activity is imule, possessing the land.

These people came through the sea, hence some of the earliest Yoruba enclaves can be found at the sea, inclusive of Lagos Island, which is the earliest Yoruba harbour as old as ile-ife. At least Oduduwa was not the foundind father of Yoruba population but Yoruba-empire.

So. Where did the inhabitants of Yoruba before the meccan-ife oduduwa came from? Did the arrival of Oduduwa translate to sudden appearance of the Yoruba from nowhere? My joker is, the tradition usually drawn to support Oduduwa coming from the sky was a stretch from odu iwori, which rhymes with Awori.

The Owa are the same as Awo (sightseers, seers) and that's where Orunmila and Ifa made history as pioneers and founding fathers who brought the viceroy, the true Oduduwa, the matriarch to Yorubaland. Her retinue own many place in ancient Yoruba, ile-ife was her possession too. Hence she was the first Ooni Ife.

This is my story.
