Itsekiri are part of the greater Oduduwa family- Ooni

Ooni rallies support for itsekiri in choosing new Olu of Warri.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has called on the Oodua descendants all over the world to be in solidarity with the Itsekiri people in the choice of the new Olu of Warri.
The Ooni made the call in a statement by Mr Moses Olafare, the Director of Media & Public Affairs, in his palace on Sunday, in Ile-Ife.

Oba Ogunwusi urged the Yoruba nation to support their “own Itsekiri people” , who were in the process of choosing new traditional ruler, Olu of Warri.

The Royal Father called on the Oodua people worldwide to find the lowest common factor that existed in their shared history, fear and aspirations.

The Ooni also noted that the unity of Yoruba people will further strengthen peace and understanding in Nigeria.

The traditional ruler called on Yoruba people across the country to pray and work together for its peace and harmony.

According to Ooni, the royalty in the House of Oduduwa is watching events in Itsekiri land and will appreciate if the people can continue to honour and respect the bound of oneness and common with the Yoruba people.

“The Itsekiri are part of the greater Oduduwa family. We cherish this great history. We shall do everything to defend and uphold it.

“Irrespective of which state you find yourself either Akoko, Itsekiri in Delta, Okun, Oworro in Kogi, we are all children of Oduduwa bound by common ancestry.

“We wish them peace and harmony in their search for prosperity in their ancestral land.

“The Ooni is particularly keen to see the sustainability of the blood-bound relationship between the Itsekiri and the Yoruba, a relationship that had been tested and trusted over history.

Generations of Yoruba and Itsekiri have the responsibility to uphold this important history,” he said.

Oba Ogunwusi also wished itsekiri people well in their General Assembly event, coming up on Monday, April 5.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that the Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli, joined his ancestors on December 2020.

The Ooni also urged Christians to use the Easter celebration to seek love and affection as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who sacrificed his life to save many souls.

The Ooni of Ife has been living up to expectations as the foremost traditional ruler in the entire Oduduwa land cum republic.

Any being that has his/ her history linked to Oduduwa or anything of such belongs to the greater Oduduwa family.

And the Ooni has been a rallying point in bringing all Oduduwa family under one umbrella.

We don’t do attaché by force in the south west. No reasonable Itsekiri person will deny his Yoruba ancestry. They are our brothers and we recognize them fully as part of the larger Yoruba nation.

Aworis are “omo Olofin”. Olofin migrated to Lagos from Ile Ife the same way Eze Nri migrated from Ile Ife to Igbo land.

No proper omo olofin will deny his Oduduwa ancestry. They own and rule over most parts of Lagos with the exception of Lagos Island and Victoria Island that are ruled by Benin royalties.

Eze Nri migrated from Ile Ife to Igboland and stopped eating Ewedu and Amala.......stirred with toilet broom .

This is one of the reasons I hardly read researches from Nigeria because it is weak, lazy articles with no substance and above all full of unsubstantiated gibberish.

So, because Eze Nri no longer eat Amala and Ewedu, the story of his migration from Ile Ife can’t be true, right? Your logic and inference ehn!

What are people of Ife eating then? Sand I guess?

Your submission is the most inconsequential in modern day researches and analysis and as such discarded and straight to dustbin.

If you are ashamed of your father's family, we are not. We are not Odiani, our neighbors call us Odiani to include us as part of their Anioma clan. We are Olukumi and everyone knows that we are Yoruboid.

True. I've read a lot about that. Olukumi means "my friend/confidant" in Yoruba language. They are known as "Lucumi" in South American slave history so they've come a long way. A version of history says that the Yorubas that left Ife to move eastward, during the wars, are the Olukumis in Delta today.

Yes. we have shared ancestry with the larger Yoruba nation. The Igala, as I learnt, sojourned from the West towards the Benue valley, thereby losing the common bond with their Yoruba cousin.
