CultureRe: Benin Kingdom In Edo Is Yoruba Territory — Ooni Of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi by Markymac5: 7:37am On Mar 20, 2016
Enough is enough...The federal government should do something about this. The yoruba people are either covering up their history or they don't know about it. The re very very inconsistent. They don't even know how the name Yoruba came and even if some of them managed to know the word is from the hausa/fulani, they still don't know the meaning. The yoruba are very tricky. The sultan of sokoto is the only monarchy to be compared to the oba of Benin. It's high time we clear the air. The FG should summon all these yoruba elders and chiefs who call themselves Obas to speak about their origin. We need to know if they are Nigerians or just occupying space here. We re not satisfied by their oduduwa story instead the Benin version sounds so real with consistency, dates and all that, Making it obvious that their own son who the yorubas took as their progenitor brought some of the Benin culture to yoruba land. If the Berebe (as called by the hausas) cannot tell us where Oduduwa came from, that means they re hiding something for sure or they don't know where he came from. Of course oduduwa has parents and he didn't appear when there is nobody in the yoruba land. So let's add all these things up and digest it.

If oduduwa was a bini prince that became king in a yoruba land (ife), that means he took some of the Benin major culture to the yoruba people. The yoruba race should not claim descendent from somebody they don't know. Oduduwa definitely will tell the yoruba people where he came. But I think they refuse to share because of pride. They cannot tell me He fell from heaven and expect me to believe. That was what I learnt in my secondary school days and I think the Nigerian sch system should stop misleading students with those cocktail and bull stories. Let the yoruba people come out with the truth. Only the truth will set them free.
