Pls, guyz don't attack me o, but are Ondo people pure Yorubas?
This people/town (culture, activities etc) is so Igbo-esque.

orjikuramo:
Aeroland has really invested in Alimosho, egbeda n iyana ipaja, hiw d position foes elude him still beats my political science knowledge.

I need to do more reseach

laudate:
I have quite a few Yoruba friends. I have never heard them use the word 'Igbo' to describe a group before.... most of them say 'agbo', when referring to a group.

aribisala0:
quite simply IgBo when used to refer to igbo people has a different sound in the two languages. There is only one Igbo in Yoruba and it means bush or forest etc and sounds very different from the Way Igbo people say it when talking about themselves

YonkijiSappo:
You are so funny. If Igbos are 40% of Lagos, the city won't have the same character it has today.
Because it would have become more or less an Igbo secondary city. Especially given that if the Yorubas are like 50% then the other tribes would be surely less than 10% ~ Impossible.
A 40% igbo population plus maybe a 10% south south populace will be dictating the policy and very nature of the city.

fuckyoumhen:
praising a common thief? no wonder the westerners do call some African a monkey.

DeLaRue:
Ganduje met Atiku last week, and the picture released on social media showed Atiku bowing to Ganduje.

Today, Ganduje meets Tinubu, and surprise surprise, Tinubu 'bows' to Ganduje.

On what basis would an ex Vice president and ex Governor bow to Ganduje

I believe these 'bows' are created by Ganduje's media team trough software manipulation and then quickly circulated on social media to create the impression their Oga is in charge.

Same happened with the infamous and fake Buhari/Tinubu picture.

That's why the true picture of these encounters in neswpapers do not indicate one party bowing to the other.

YonkijiSappo:
Millions of Igbos in which every state?
How many Millions are in Kwara and Ekiti for example? Igbos are a conspicuous minority in places where they settle because their line of work in those places (trading) makes them quite visible, not because there are "Millions of them in every state"

Nne5:

The baby's name is oduduwa?

Bridget95:
so Ekiti where people are handed rice and other edibles like refugees by their governor has a lower poverty rate than Anambra state?


hmmmmm.whoever made this statistics is a lying genius.

ezemme:
where is Abakpa and Obiagu settlements? pls try upload those area

donbrowser:
It happens almost every year in Ekiti. I don't know why

shinarambo1:
chai. A whole Arole Odua. The only speaking orisha in yoruba land. Lol.
Today he is collecting offering in a Cherubim and Seraphim church. The month after, he wuld be at the redemption camp. The month after that, he would be worshipping in a mosque. Finally he would return to to Ife offer blood sacrifices to the deities. Confused.com
This man serves 2 masters or 3 masters sef. i cant even Imagine the Oba of benin doing such.
Royalty get levels.

TippyTop:
How dare you confront Hausa/Fulani, Bubu is ready to fry some balls.
They can move to Jupiter not just Abuja.

NNS Aradu is cool

jegz25:
ekiti is no different from an idp camp

neoOduduwa:
Violence is never a long-lasting recourse . I'm disgusted at some Yorùbá nairalanders thinking this will vindicate us from the coward-taunts of of our counterparts. We don't resort to violence to get some cheap plaudits, it unconventional of us. Yorùbás aren't cowards, never been cowards and will never be. We don't have to prove sh¡t to no one. Kudos to Aregbe for promoting peace.

bendeniceguy:
If you are an adult, then you must be DUMBER than i initially thought!!!! Your answers to my posers are at best vague, stupid, without logic or commonsense and can at best only be conjured up in the dark recesses of a moronic slowpoke like you. It took an EDO prince to civillize you dirty, cowardly loudmouths...FACT. The EDOs eventhough smaller in population than you dreckfressers, conquered your towns and villages with ease, a fact that you morons acknowledge even uptil today by naming some of your dirty little cities and villages after the mighty warriors from ADO ( EDO) e.g ADO ekiti.

You have uptil today descendants of yoruba slaves all over South and Central America sold to the Portugese by the all conquering EDO army. Deny that fact you stupid slowpoke. Name any part of the world where descendants of EDO slaves can be found? Answer, nowhere. That y'all morons had to burnish up your weak-ass history by trying to rope in a mighty kingdom into your degenerate little history is understandable though. How else can you hold up your sorry heads and admit to the whole world that a warrior-like people who are just a fraction of your own populace. ran roughshod allover yorubaland, capturing and subjugating your dirty and cowardly little asses?

The EDOs were a civilized and organized people long before oduduwa, ife or anything the lying yoros have to throw up as their history. Twisting historical facts to push a weak narrative has become the yorubas stock-in-trade. Your oduduwa was supposed to be a philandering Arab prince, flying around the world on his jumbo 747 mat fixed with a rope for disembarkment and looking for a place in the African jungle to start a new race of people called yorubas. PHEWWWW!!!! How believable is that even to you? No wonder most of your so-called obas bleach their skins to look like Arabs or is it Arab halfcast. Phewww once again and good night.

My only criticism of him was that as a signatory to the Aburi agreement, he should have spoken up for the western Region when Gowon broke the Agreement by dissolving the 4 Regions and creating 12 states. General Adebayo was senior to Gowon. It is unfortunate that he, along with the Yoruba nation, just could never stand up to Northerners. Adebayo, as Military Governor of the Western Region did not sleep in Government House because he was scared that he might be killed like Fajuyi. A Yoruba man who could not sleep in his official residence in his own land out of fright of the Northerners!

Tufiakwa!

IranjeIdita:
- my thought about Oduduwa becoming a title was only put forward to understand & accommodate the other person's perspective of female Oduduwa in Ketu. Nonetheless, there were the Oduduwa & Obatala creation story & the actual Oduduwa & Obatala humans in Ife history, whichever came first is yet to be known by me.

- the different Ifes were as a result of migration.

- what princes?

- No. Not even the origin of peoples in Ife is one.

- the skull was dated to be 13,000 years old (700 AD). Obelisks in Ife were dated 500 - 800 AD. Did ghosts structure these obelisks? As I read on archeology forum sometime back, the environment here is not very suitable for fossilization which makes findings of animal & human remains a bit rare in these parts.

- Ife neighbours like?

- No, I don't. I believe migrants from Sahara area populated Ife & other older cultures.

- That will take a lot of research with open ended or guessed conclusions. I would rather not bother about origins of the earliest peoples.

Vicolan:
Just confirmed it my mummy said she nva knew it still exist oooo dt its called ODUN OPA(Beating Festival).. Thank God I no even kwn d village self

Smhart1:
What does the king have to offer the winner that made them go through such pain ?

poverty is a bastard

IranjeIdita:
Here's the theory:

In Yoruba creation story, there was Oduduwa.

This Oduduwa name is then applied to culture heroes who contributed significantly to phenomena that shaped the life of people on a very large scale.

The progenitor of modern monarchy in Ife had his own actual name but was given the name Oduduwa for his contribution meanwhile the man called Obatala in Ife had his actual name but like the mythical Obatala he lost to Oduduwa and assumed that name with people.

Hope this makes sense?

Huddler:
You guys are just confused.

OlaoChi:
That is a good observation, ultimately when you talk about looking inward to archaeology, culture and tradition and stand on a plain of consistency with already established facts, you are using the Historical method.

I believe we just need to be careful and scrutinise the books we read

Even learned Ifa priests study other civilisations to get an understanding of what the study of history and anthropology really is, so there is nothing wrong about building a sphere of historical knowledge that is not limited to one ethnicity. It is great that you have traced your lineage well I like to see more yorubas involved in their ancestry...that is always a start

OlaoChi:
i would advise you to dive in deeper and spend more time reading books not only on yoruba history but history of other civilisations. You are still new to all this and can be easily dyed any colour. History is not a belief system, you need evidence following the Historical Method... so far you have done otherwise

seunmsg:
This politics ehn! Even Segun Oni is now romancing Tinubu to the point of going to welcome him at the airport. Never say never in politics.

“ori/èri) MONOTHEISM IS HAVING KNOWLEDGE AND WORSHIP OF ONE GOD. this is the core part in Yoruba religion as it concerns the greatness and destiny bestowed upon the“being" created by almighty God. It is the paramount difference with Egyptians. The èri-sha do have reasons to be cleansed because of the complexity of the wickedness of spiritual world and the goodness of the spiritual world which can either mar or make one in a lifetime . Yoruba men and women of ancient times knew about the TI IBI TI IRE LO JO NRIN... IF you have some knowledge on why people SE—IFA/IGBOODU,
You will appreciate the difference no matter what you think. The Yoruba have a very deep knowledge of God and didn't at any time forget it even if Yoruba was corrupted with adoption of other ideologies. Yet they place almighty God ahead as ERI-SA OKE. Everything done on Earth by the IFA PRIEST solely lies IF THE ERI-SA OKE ACCEPT THE REQUEST/prayer of the person who seek to know his PURPOSE on EARTH (AKOSE—JAYE). You can see from my information that all the defied as deities are POWERLESS WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF YORUBA'S ELEDUMARE. This make YORUBA GOD WHOSE
DESCRIPTION FIT IN AS HAVING HUMAN IMAGE,ATTRIBUTES, BUT MORE ELDERLY WITH GRAY HAIRS AND ANCIENT OF DAYS GOD WHO CAN'T DIE and also likened to the God of Israel. This make YORUBA MONOTHEISM TRUE because No IFA PRIEST conclusively tell You the UMOLES/IMOLES will GRANT a EASY PASSAGE FOR ONES VICTORY ON EARTH FOR “ERI—EDA" That the elders will say “ERI/ORI ENI A JI BO, A JI KE, A JI PÈ ........ So, irrespective of the work of the 200+1 Deities of Yoruba been worshipped in the past and today,ELEDUA/ELEDUMARE determine WHO DIES TODAY, TOMORROW
OR ANYTIME or being BLESS at different time as he ordain it because YORUBA BELIEVE that Nothing happens in the PHYSICAL without the SPIRITUAL WORLD TO HAVE SEALED IT. ERI/ORI is even what the CHRISTIANS BELIEVE MORE IN WHEN SEEKING THE
FACE OF GOD because IT IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO THEM. WHY IS THIS HAVING CONNECTION WITH YORUBA TRADITION AS CONCERN ONE'S PURPOSE ON EARTH? There is more than that meet the eyes. AWA Yoruba are too spiritually deep so much that thy even have knowledge and the existence and practices of the two forces of SPIRITUALISM; WHITE INCLINED SPIRITUALISM AND DARK INCLINED SPIRITUALISM. This testify to the Knowledge of the advancement of Yoruba knowing the difference between the evil forces and Godly forces. Let me emphasis here that the cardinal Forces in which you
attributed to OGUN wasn't his own but to almighty Yoruba God. Have you forgotten that he was a man with blood in his vein and Mortal?, Do you not know all of these people defied are mode of communication with God even ogun? Do you not know he was a great warrior on Earth? People defied him and the rest because nobody knew how he and the rest communicated with God and the ancient Yoruba people didn't want to loose that connection so as to always have victories in all their battles, Have you not seen it in the BIBLE WHEN MEN, PROPHETS USE other prophet to connect to God?. And so people knew that
through him the almighty God of Yoruba who never lost a battle will be connected through him. Have you thought why OONI do go to OGUN's shrine to pay homage and pray (KO ÈSÈ). This to show the important role OGUN play in Yoruba land. WHY DOES OGUN'S SHRINE PREFER DARK DOG? BUT when you want to appease your ELEDA, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE WHITES stuffs.etc . So, Yoruba strongly knows the purpose of seeking what behold them as ANCIENT ISRAELI DOES. HAVE YOU HEARD ANY KING AS MIGHTY IN BATTLE TO COMPARE HIMSELF WITH GOD IN YORUBA HISTORY? NONE,
I REPEAT, NONE! Yoruba had always spread their hands and looked up to the sky and cry when calamity befell them either in group or individually. If EGYPT'S might and glory can only boast of 114 deities. How then do you think Yoruba HAVE UMOLES/IMOLES much more than Egypt?,YORUBA RELIGION IS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF EGYPT BECAUSE GOD WHO IS KNOWN AS OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, AND OMNIPRESENT whom can't be CONFINED TO ONE SPOT AS GOD OF YORUBA. Even masquerade wasn't part of religion in ancient Yorubas but borrowed and adopted from NUPE/NOK culture though,so as
to make Yoruba own already established knowledge on afterlife had a spiritual doctrine and did make it look more informative when displaying the perception of the DEAD Ancestors.
