Hello

I am researching the origins of Oduduwa and Obatalá. Many people say many things, mainly about Oduduwa, some say he came from Iraq, about Obatalá, they say he is Igbo, can you help me?

Have you read Prof Akintoye's "A History of the Yoruba People"?

There were two Oduduwas but the man called odudua was a flesh and blood.The other oduduwa was irúnmọlẹ̀.

oduduwa is of Ogun household in iléifẹ
ọbátálà is linked to Ora of ifẹ (Oranfẹ) household . The oranfẹ is claimed to be the oldest deity in iléifẹ .
