You see, the Ifaodu & Ephod is the same thing though the interpreters of the classic Hebrew are also with their own flaws whixh cannot be overlooked because the language is said to be in extinction which is also false. If Classic Hebrew is in extinction, how do they now translated the ones that they were able to ?

The point here is that many prominent Yoruba scholars( Professors/Ph.D, Maven etc ) are the problems with their concluded postulations because of doubt and assumption that Yoruba people of today are dark skin people and supposed to be from Africa whose offsprings are now in settlement in present day Nigeria and her environment in a nearly 98% homogeneous closely related settlement pattern.
Something of interest is that the language of Yoruba seemingly found in Arabic are thought to be loaned or shared between these two group,which was once raised by Al Ilori. While Arabic and Ancient Hebrew shared some lexicons too which showed the reality about the identity of the Yoruba's ancestors and their language that was brought to Africa and through th deep forested West Africa because Ancient Hebrew shared more Strong linguistics relationship with Yoruba more than it shares with Arabic .


The fact on ground according to oral narration and document presented by Sultan Bello in the early 18th century pointed at Yoruba as a people of ‘Khanan'. Shockingly as it is, Khanan is the same as kana and it meaning(same thing/same). Conton and Dierk Lange agreed to the fact that the Yoruba lifestyle pattern or mode of ritual practise are of the lost tribe of Israel . Indeed, there are so many words that are used daily which are of Middle/Near East origin found in both Arabic and Semitic Hebrew and the Semitic Hebrew is more evidently seen in Yoruba language which ought to be basis for all these Yoruba historians to move backward into pre 1200AD as to see the pattern employed by ancient Yorubas who were so unique in Africa because the Art work , Tradition, language of Yoruba etc which are closer to ancient Classic Hebrew, that are found in the scrolls taken away as war spoils when these invaders destroyed the first and the second Temple in Israel. It is of a fact that the ancient Hebrew language through interpretation by European/English interpreters showed thus far that Yoruba language is the biblical narrative of the chosen people of God. History has it that, 1604-1611, the Bible was translated to English through Middle Age Hebrew scroll and Greek interpretation to English language. The Book Bible is basically about self teaching or teaching moral to one's child, or morally upright which the Ancient Hebrew called ‘Torah' according to the Semitic writing in pictographs. This word is accurately fit into same meaning with Yoruba's word ‘Tora'/Tòr(Tò) for teaching/training/instruction to be morally upright.

On the name you pointed out as Olokun is a corrupted way of the name pronunciation because Yoruba of Oyo is the group which use the word O instead Èlúkun which is the actual name pronunciation before the drifting away by Oyo speakers. There are challenges to these drift which make the Yoruba language to dwell between the ancient( rural dwellers who speak the older dialect) and the modern speakers.Challenge as these rewriting the true identity of Yoruba is very important, since there are names whose footprint had been forgotten through time but still in memory of the elders of the Yoruba society via oral. Such name as Èbòrá which is equivalent to Biblical A-b-r-m or E-b-r-m. The same goes for Aroní( a mystical man in ancient Yoruba folklore) and the equivalent in Classic Hebrew. A more pronounced Ogun(,king of war/mighty man of valour) and the Classic Hebrew Og(warrior king/mighty man of war).

As far as I have seen, there are narrative that became muddled up with Ela; God, the creator who was the one who taught the ancient ancestors of the Yoruba on how to connect with him because some account claimed Agboniregun was the principal man who taught the world Ifaodu when in fact, IfaOdu is to draw out information from vessel or conduit the ‘base' or foundation of life( Aiye or Iye). This among other reasons I tend to suspect some later IfaoduYoruba priests who out of self interest tried so much to infuse Odua and Obatiseala into the cosmetic myth of creation which ought not be so because these two men died while Ela has no beginning nor end. This is the reason Ela is the one we worship in the morning when we pray which is traditionally called ‘bori' and Christian as well as Muslim know as prayer to God. Interestingly, Allah is Muslim name for God. Ella is ancient Hebrews name for God and the same Ela is ancient and still serve as modern name for God.

Another misleading information about the Yoruba is the Opa Oranmyian which was claimed to be a waking stick of the man. This information is nothing but fallacy as far as I have seen and read the inscriptions through the classic Semitic/pictographs/hieroglyphs language on it which is not about a walking stick but show that the inscriptions are information about a migrants Race that their descendants of today's people need to know where their original ancestors came from and their strength as a people of God.

Well this exactly how fatomilola put it: ifa olokun asorodayo, eleri-ipin,... omo inajoko majerun. The witness of that event is Olokun, hence the name Olokungbajo, meaning "Olokun saved his contemporary" Now the people of ipetu-ijesha would say: awa la njudi nigba Olokun, awa lonje abori jagajigi. Awa londani ti ale eni nkoni, elegbe wa maitu o, aya gbogbo nso kule-kule.

Well there are valuable insight concealed in that piece: today people says oduduwa came thru a chain from heaven. That tradition had not existed at Bowen's time because oduduwa has not been plucked from Yoruba classic. Sometime somewhere, odu'a gotta hang on d chain from heaven. When Awo started 'egbe omo oduduwa,' some Yoruba declared that olofin and not odu'a was the father of Yoruba.

The way some of you spin stories to suit your narrative is appalling. Igbos in the north are not even loud compared to those in other areas. I know that Yorubas especially from Kwara and Ogbomosho have lived in the north spanning three generations but even that doesn't equate the population of Yorubas to that of the Igbos in the north. You see, secondary school enrollment in the north will give you a better picture of both ethnic groups since they're both educationally inclined. This will rest the case. As for the unfortunate casualties in the Jos crisis being Yorubas, the reason is not far fetched. The location of the major battles witness more fatalities and in that case, the location was a Yoruba dominated location which they couldn't defend against the Hausas. I personally lost lots of Yoruba friends there. The areas were from Dilimi linking the whole Nassarawa area plus Rikkos. Nassarawa was hitherto the headquarters of the Yoruba settlement in Jos. I grew up there so I know. It had a sizeable population of Igbos too such that Igbo was being taught at a point in the Yoruba owned school I attended. After the first crisis, lots of Igbos left the area because it was poorly defended by the Yorubas who should have been the backbone of defense. It was in the subsequent crisis that the massacre happened. That's why the Yoruba casualties was the highest among the Southern settlers. Igbos from Nassarawa relocated to Igbo dominated areas and other indigene dominated areas with a good promise of defence and contributed to there defence. All Igbo dominated areas were well defended.
That said, Igbo population in the north is much more than that of the Yorubas. Is It in Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Abuja, Suleja, Lafia, Makurdi, Akwanga, Mangu, Shendam, Bauchi, Jalingo, Yola, Minna, Kafanchan etc

pazienza:


Igbos are more. It's as simple as that.

I was in Wukari and Jalingo not long ago. It's amazing the number of Igbos there.
I kept running into random Igbo speaking people on Keke and banks.

To understand the Jew one must first know the origins of the Jew. And to embark on such endeavour one must go back to the very origins of man.

Lucifer rebelled against God over Man and for that he was condemned to this realm we know as earth. Adam existed in a higher plane next to the 7th heaven and it is written that "God walked alongside man".

Then the seduction of Eve by Lucifer occurred and from that abonimal union Satan's seed ,Cain was created .

Cain, like his father Satan will kill Abel the first child of Adam and Eve and for this he was condemned by God.

Let us move forward to Noah and the biblical flood. God had commanded Noah to build an ark to protect him and his family and all that will repent plus every male and female animal. Cain was still alive and he refused to heed Noah's prophecy rather he sent his daughter Namaah to Noah as a spy. Namaah repented at the last minute and begged Noah to go into the Ark. Knowing that God's plan was to rid the world of Cain and Azazel's seed , Noah will marry Namaah to prevent his sons from having her.

After the great flood had receeded , Ham -out of greed - slept with Namaah so as to get a greater inheritance from his father Noah. The union will bring about a bastard child and a curse to Ham by Noah . That child was Canaan who bore the bloodline of Cain and Lucifer.

Charleys:


Ekiti does not have any history of Oduduwa, check your records.

pazienza:


There is no working together between Ndiigbo and Yorubas.
Not in this universe. Our goals and dreams are divergent.
Failure to recognize that by Ojukwu, contributed to his failure in Biafra.

Sir, you said according to an unverified source, but I'm responding as a witness and as a student of Fuoye. All what you read saying the wife of the Governor convoy was attacked and she was escaped through commando style was all a lie. It was only a road that leads Oye to Ikole. The road starts from Ifaki roundabout -Ayegbaju-Oye-Ilupeju-Itapa-Usi Ekiti-Iloko-Ikole. So Ao was she escaped from the venue through a commando Style?.

I still don't know why police use live bullet for protesters....it has been over 16 weeks of unrest in Hong Kong and no single death has been recorded....why can't our own police can't handle one day protest without killing people?
