Have you ever wondered what the history of Oduduwa and it's relationship with the Yoruba race was like, how the Yoruba's originated and why you always hear words like Oduduwa, Sango, and many other deities not mentioned. That is what I would be explaining here in this post.

Samuel Johnson account the Yoruba's originated from Lamurudu who was the father of Oduduwa has been criticised by many because it is believed to be historically incorrect. Other historians have given accounts that Oduduwa came from Mecca and settled in Ile-Ife where he established the first Yoruba political Kingdom.
Given the fact and oral history at our disposal, Oduduwa never came from Mecca. The question now is who is Oduduwa?. Oduduwa means odu to da iwa i.e. "how to behave". Oduduwa was a deity cum spirit and was not given birth by any human being. Lamurudu should not be confused as Oduduwas father. The creation of Ife began with Olodumare who sent Obatala and Oduduwa to the world for important purposes,while they were going, Obatala came across a group of men drinking palm wine, and decided to join them and abandoned the task given to him by Oduduwa. On seeing this, Olodumare instructed Obatala to collect cockerel on Obatalas shoulder and proceed to Ife to accomplish the assignment.

US-backed forces fighting ISIS in Raqqa say "major military operations" in the city have ended and that the jihadists have lost control of their self-declared capital. The development marks a decisive victory in the fight against ISIS, though US officials said there were still pockets of resistance in the city.
"Major military operations in Raqqa are finished but they are now clearing the city of sleeper cells -- if they exist -- and mines," Talal Salo, spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, told CNN. The SDF is a coalition of Arab and Kurdish fighters.
"The situation in Raqqa is under control and soon there will be an official statement declaring the liberation of the city." The defeat of ISIS in Raqqa is a symbol of the terror group's decline -- it now controls a small strip of territory along the Euphrates river in northern Syria.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday his diplomatic efforts will continue as long as they possibly can despite the saber-rattling on both sides of the Pacific.
Several weeks ago, Tillerson announced from Beijing that he had direct lines of communication with North Korea and was seeking to cool tensions between North Korea and the United States.
Tensions have ratcheted up between the two nations as North Korea continues to develop and threaten the use of its nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, and Trump has threatened to "totally destroy" the isolated nation.

Robert Lewandowski places no importance on the Ballon d'Or, with the Bayern Munich striker often "shocked" by the selection process.
Claiming the coveted award could be considered the pinnacle for most players, but a decade-long duopoly from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has left most on the outside looking in.
Lewandowski falls into that category despite having been a prolific source of goals for Borussia Dortmund, Bayern and Poland down the years.
