That is similar to asking who deified Olodumare.

0balufonlll:
Deities Oduduwa & Ogun pre-existed the human Oduduwa & Ogun among the people of old. They already imagined deity of creation & deity of war and other things natural & within human purview. However, the people of old also began to immortalize notable humans by pegging them to their deities or creating new deities for them.

Deity Oduduwa created earth. It is the bottom half of the spherical earth while Obatala is the upper half of the spherical bowl. While Obatala created humans, Oduduwa created earth.

Oorisa I sight you. If eledumare is the reason I am on this revelation,You will be acknowledged forever. Pardon me if I sound too ambitious.
There are Orisas I have seen on this platform.I respect you because you are one of them.

Strangely, the name was only used by one Ooni,presumably; Olofin Odua,which baffles me,considering different claim by other groups/ethnics that claimed relationship with him. What remained strange is that the title was used by a lord and king. Thereafter, I have not come across anyone in historical account who bore that name. Perhaps, the name mean something different.
Looking forward to the great minds who are willing to explain their own meaning, if there are.

This is purely my own thinking. I believe that the yorubas will benefit the most if nigeria were to split. With lagos alone any country can stand. You already have industries/companies in the south west, you have seaport and international airport. You have international companies based in the south west and you have lagos. Oduduwa republic can become the most powerful in africa if managed well. I still don't understand why the yorubas still want to remain in nigeria with nigeria the way it is. What do the yorubas stand to lose if nigeria splits? Nigeria isn't working and will never work as it is. As an igbo man, when i look at what will happen if nigeria splits i see that the yorubas are already placed for such an occurence. So why aren't they pushing for that?? Is there something i am missing here?
NB. This is just my personal opinion.. No insults intended. If you have a different view to mine please share without insults.

By sight, puzzy is ugly but what makes it intriguing and makes men want to die there is the natural musky smell. Some men even prefer it when the smell is stronger.

The best way to stop Vagina from having a fowl odour is by eating bitter cola, it sounds crazy but its true.... some pussy don't smell, in fact they do not supposed to smell badly
..... Although scientifically, smelling pussy easily turns men on , but no man would like to suck or lick a smelling clitoris , As for me, the clitoris/sucking pussy is the sweetest part of sex and Therefore I advise men to learn how to talk to their girl or woman on the need to keep their pussy clean at all time..... Take biter cola seed twice a week, use wipes after urinating If your pussy do not stop smelling within 21days call me an Idiot!!!!

Can someone please explain what restructuring of Nigeria is all about.

Nigeria is made up of many Ethnic Linguistic groups apart fron Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, but unfortunately many Nigerians are not aware or pretend to ignore it. Most especially the compositions of the Ethnic groups in the North because many in South will term anyone from North as Hausa/Fulani.

Moreover, There are many ethnic groups in the North apart from Hausa/fulani, in fact one or two are among the 7 largest Ethnic groups in Nigeria.

However, It is necessary to Educate all Nigerians about the composition of the Ethnic groups in Nigeria due to the unnecessary tensions created since the recent political appointments made by President Buhari.

Therefore, Nigerians are condemned to know the compostion of various ethnic groups in Nigeria apart from the big 4. Fulani, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, less we indirectly or directly marginalize other groups.

Note: I am not for/against any political appointment made by our President Buhari so far.

Starting from map of 1901 - 2015

These are the list of the largest Ethnis groups in the North and South.

North:

1, Hausa
2, Fulani
3, Kanuri
4, Tiv
5, Nupe
6,Igala
7, Gwari
8, Idoma
9, Chamba

South:

1, Yoruba
2, Igbo
3, Ibibio/Efik
4, Ijaw
5, Edo
6, Urhobo
7, Ogoni
8, Ogoja.

Onl317, I think we need to end this discussion because you know a lot about things related to Yoruba while I don’t and I’m basing my claim primarily based on Wiki and Wiki is know to provide many outdated informations. Your claim could be right or not (you also need to be open minded to the latter since many scholars say Yoruba is Niger-Congo). Within Yoruba themselves as when seen here there is different believe about Yoruba origin and their language nature. As you said Yoruba is among the most studied group in Africa but further research needs to be conducted to bring a common reliable belief on their history and culture.

Egbon mi, Frobenius built a case for European superiority to Africa; his case was against Africa/Yoruba. Why you’re bending Frobenius’ perverted approach that was quite racist to suit your angle is quite interesting.

Frobenius mentioned Yoruba was above North Africa and any other culture/religion under semitic culture. In essence, Yoruba had no similarity with North Africa or Middle East.

Why is your post putting words in Frobebius’ mouth, baba? He stated his piece; Yoruba culture is Greek, Greek is Yoruba cukture. O tan.

Quite interesting and thought provoking .

I respect this baje baje, O***e ngbor.

I hope we, & everyone as Yoruba can disagree within the bounds of respect & love.

Gborogbo l’owo nyo j’ori; gedegbe l’ope nyo ju ogomo, temi yo, temi yo ni ako nke - Mr. Olu, e ma se aseyori with this research. And all of us in & out of academia will be alive & well critique in support & against.

0balufonlll:
Actually, readers can only draw conclusions when a writer leaves a work open ended after presenting several evidences.

Leo Frobenius in his work concluded that Yoruba culture was in a class of its own. He said it had nothing in common with other religions/cultures with Semitic influence/origin.

Why make a conclusion when an author already made his own conclusion? I don’t understand?

The point here is Frobenius’ work is being used wrongly. The man’s argument is Pro-Greek/Europe & anti-Arab/Semitic origin for Yoruba.
