I advise you, to be sober and reflect on eternity...heaven and hell are real. The same God that kills also make alive. The same God that is very kind is also very severe and terrible in judgement...the choice is yours. It doesn't take anything from you to believe, rather gives real hope everlasting....

Itsekhiri is Yoruboid. Not necessarily Yoruba. Itsekhiri is a mix of ijebu, Eastern Yoruba, Benin, some Urhobo /Isoko etc.

Americans, Canadians, New Zealanders and Australians speak English but they are not English or British. All of Europe and the world mixed to form those countries.

The Benin-Ife link is mythically interesting but it is much easier to see why Itsekhiri probably came up with that name Ubini.

The most likely link with ife could have been intermarriage. Quite possible that at some point an Ife princess married an Oba or crown prince of Benin. Welcoming some Ife culture in Benin.

Amalgamation of Nigeria probably distorted many things. Especially as Benin lost ground already from 1897 to 1914. And struggled from 1914 to rebuild the kingdom and destroyed nation.

Basoenewokoma:
the knowledge he acquired from there

Iamgrey5:
He even wrote ibadam

YorubaRitualist:
Ibadam is another local and timid place..even Yorubas use to yab you when you tell them that you are from ibadam

YorubaRitualist:
Try Oshogbo and ado ekiti..very timid and local place. I can count the number of storey buildings I met there when I went there. They are not fit to be called state capitals.

chatinent:
Lol. What did you do as retaliation?

I disagree because Yoruba being classified as kwa is dubious because , there was a problem with Kwa as name which has no meaning in Yoruba language. Yoruba language was once classified as Sudanic language.


The people who classified Yoruba language have no knowledge of the language's history, hence the language was classified as Kwa.

The Yoruba's language of intimacy is not understood by any member family in Niger Congo except properly Yoruba related ethnic group with knowledge of Ifaodu because the intimacy dialects are older than the koine dialect.

Yoruba language is a teacher's language in West Africa as well as in North Africa, during the antiquity.This language is well coded in Ifaodu.

Yoruba do have absolute traditions that's parallel with Abrahamic religion: Such as:

Mass Twin birth

Washing of bride's feet before entry into her groom's home

Levirate marriage

Circumcision of a child on the eight day

Sacrifices in Yoruba religion as found in Mesoptamia

Errection of Ivory to symbolise something as found in Ancient Near East

Crowns found in Yoruba land that are same or parallel with Near East's Crowns

Loom found in Yoruba culture as found in Northern Africa

Ceramic ,Terracotta Art work of Yoruba as found in Near East. etc

Apart from the above information, you can read more on the unclear area of Yoruba's language historicity as being wrongly classified from a renown scholar, Professor Isaac Adejoju Ogunbiyi; Professor of Islamic studies . This professor shows and supported Al Ilori , that Semitic (Arabic) root words and Yoruba lexicon developed concurrently. Plainly, the Yoruba language developed outside Africa.
