Odu'a was the first HONI/ORNI/ONI/OONI and not all these jumbo mumbo cooked fairy tales being spread around about OMO OLUWO LO NI by Late Samuel Johnson...The word “OoNI"appellation need be studied very extensively The truth is that there were many interrelationship between Odua group and the other elements. These other elements aren't Obatala group because the progenitor of Yoruba must have had knowledge of Obatala family grouping before the fracas begun that one group believed he was the true lineage of head priestly group, leader and king. This was the problem when Odua group arrived. If it is not true, Can you decode the reason Odua didn't kill Obatala when Obatala was defeated?, This wasn't the norm during the old order. I want to know if the people they call Yoruba today were more sophisticated than Egyptians? I mentioned this because Obatala moved away voluntarily or forcefully for some period but was later absolved into the newly arranged family system created by Odua while Obatala was given a position to occupy. I am tempted to emphasise here that the name Odu- du-wa was not the Yoruba progenitor's name based on correlation and considering few names of his sons such as AKiN OLALOMI FAGBAMILA, OGUN , OKANBI, ORANMIYAN etc. ODU is a IFA term which literally was used to qualify his leadership quality of divinity and coordination. I am still waiting to read the reason, the ancient lineage of Odu'a sons or descendants being referred as OMO UWA /OMO OWA or better still “OWA" which was a more modernised for “UA" or “UWA". The progenitor's name need be carefully examined because the name was a fusion of descriptive word which was fused with his name to become appellation. ODU -DU -WA / ODU -DUA .

African history is complex n complicated .

With due respect, I think the Yoruba scholars are complacent lot. They are jinxed to 'the ultimate-answer' given them in in Ile-ife origins of the Yoruba, now what is left to do is deny every other paragraph that comes before and after the source of this claim as if the early scholars who mention ife were fools to be discredited, biting the fingers that put you in the limelight.

Our history in modern times is about argument for or against what we used to believe as history, no spirited effort to confirm as true the conclusions of old but to debunk such while retaining a part: why not discard off the old and start afresh? Isn't your assumption that early claims being tinted with religious sentiments not tinted with inability to sift fact from fiction to unravel facts?

Now how does your tradition of origin solve the eredo paradox? They will also come here as soon as this thread hit the frontpage to discredit everything connecting it with the outside world, but would never resolve the mystery of who, when or how. Because they are too complacent to research but eager to protect the 'ultimate answer' as the almighty formula for Yoruba history.

Our people are too feeble to think and too scared to ask questions. The ones who were beneficiary of the urban legend works to quench the investigative spirit of anyone who rise to challenge them, but fact also elude them other than the regular coverup that never sound scientific or far reaching but self-serving. Let's wait and see. This is the relics of an empire lost in time.

This points back to a legendary woman: Mr. Oduduwa, what did you accomplish for Yoruba? How did you succeeded in putting your children on the throne in all realms without any history of confrontations? Are you an Uthman Dan Fudio? How did all your children became kings and had no trace of personal name but title of kingdoms as their names?

Sungbo had a name and memorial landmark to her greatness!

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Before oduduwa came liberating Yoruba , there was Yoruba nation I.e several Yoruba towns/settlements were in existence . He then had children and these children started founding or better stil having dominion over the existing Yoruba settlements. Before reading this your post , any time there is battle of supremacy between alafin and ooni , what usually comes to my mind is "Oduduwa was a stranger that came dominating, Ooni was a son of the soil, God knows how to restore throne back to the rightful owner"

wao, this write-up is timely. Just two days ago, a kenya girl confirmed how jealous kenya guys are, all because of their preferment for Nigeria guys. And confessed
how nollywood films make them to be attracted to nigeria guys readily.

When you want to react exactly how they do it in movie , this is wha is obtainable. The suicide note though.

Why is the Quran incomplete?

Unknown to most muslims, the Quran is actually an incomplete book. One of Muhammad’s most devout companions Ibn Umar wrote in Al Suyuti Al Itqan Fi Ulum al Quran:

"Let none of you say he has acquired the entire Quran, for how does he know that it is all? Much of the quran has been lost. Thus, let him say, “ I have acquired what is available”.

This fact is confirmed in Sahih Muslim 2286 where it is said that:

There used to a surah that was the length of Surah Baraa’at , but it was forgotten and never found its way into the quran.

The same hadith also says that muslims once used to recite a surah which resembled one of the surah’s of Mussabihat, but this surah had also been forgotten and was never included in the quran.

In Sahih Bukhari Vol. 6: 61:527 we find further confirmation that some materials have been lost from the quran:

“Ubbay was the best of us in the recitation of the quran yet we leave some of what he recites. Ubbay says, “I have taken it from the mouth of Allah’s messenger and will not leave it for anything whatever.”

Ubbay was one of the best four teachers of the Quran (along with Ibn Masoud, Salim and Mu’adh) and yet what this hadith shows us is that there were materials in Ubbay’s Quran which could not be found in other Qurans.

Interestingly, Aisha, muhammad’s child bride recalls that there are two verses of the quran, one about stoning and another about breastfeeding an adult man ten times, which were excluded because they were eaten by a. goat! (See Sunan ibn Majah 1944)

According to the speaker, the hoodlums have constitution right to commit murder and arson in the name of sanctifying their community.

Omoikarekimire:
Y are Igbo people always aggressive and like to carry themselves high above the authority of their host this same attitude with the Hausa people brought lots of confrontation Can't they just humble themselves

this same pride of theirs led to the civil war

Handicapped persons tend to be more volatile and aggressive

ShootToKill:
yorubas should also do a DNA comparative analysis with Sudanese since they claim to have migrated fron Nimrod (Nimurodu) in ancient Sudan.

Nimrod is an Israeli. Hope you read your Bible well.

Marvel1206:
ROTFL!

Nimrod is Jew. Hope you read your Bible. Like someone has rightly said "we're all cousins on this planet "

What's making that army guy to smile.

No religion tolerance, no peace in Nigeria



I'm not a muslim, but how many times have you seen muslims burnt shrine all in the name of crusade? As a Christian, all you should do is preach the words of God to them and show them to God by your way of life. If after conversion they decided to burn their shrines with their hands, good for them. But never walked into their shrines and burn them. It is a serious crime of Arson

where were you when Moslems were burning n killing masquerades in Ibadan and other towns in Oyo state? My own is "live n lets live" Thanks.

After close examination, am convinced to say the picture looks fake....
In a gruesome murder, the victim doesnt close his eyes...( that is in an unexpected death)..

The picture here proves that the person died peacefully without any sign of pain or anguish on his face..

There are blood stains on his nose and mouth... was he shot on the mouth and nose?

look carefully at his eyes, it is tightly closed as if he deliberately closed it.
Soldiers who die in battle field mostly die with their eyes open...

you must be a forensic expert

In as much that i appreciate this pictures,i observed somethings.....

1-- It was said that the woman carring oxygen cant see,how come she was on the drivers seat inside the car on the express?
2-- Do we now have camera men standing in traffic taking photos?

I dont want to say this was staged because i just expressed my views on the picture.
Before you quote abt the right hand drive,the picture was taken in Africa

it may be a media stunt performed to attract the attention for the ailing woman's fundraising
