But the Ooni said Igbo came from Ile ife. Is he also smoking that thing the Oluwo smokes?

Many Groups migrated from Ile Ife including the GA and Ewe Tribes of Ghana and Togo
There are Still Igbos in Ile Ife today and they are full Yorubas
The Obawirin is the head of all the Ancient Igbos still living in Ile Ife

The Ugbo of the Ondo Coast were also from Ile Ife Ife and the Akoko too

You're saying Oduduwa did not actually fall from heaven?. You don't mean it!. Your brother will label you Igbo soon enough.

That was a Figure of Speech

He was born around Oke Or

Let us tell you something

The Ijebu,Ilaje,Owu,Akoko,Ekiti,Ijesha Yorubas
are all of Ancient Igbo heritage

Many of the descendants of the Igbos Oduduwa met in Ife are still there in the Obawirin Quarters of Ife

Lol...help me tell them. Oduduwa is said to be the last child of Eri. He was named Odųdųnwa which means last child.

Oduduwa's father was not Eri but Lamurudu

How is Ekiti a descendant of Igbo

Please enlighten me

The Igbo were the Aboriginal People in the Land that Oduduwa and his Princes met
The Ekiti people were already there before Oduduwa was born

They later adopted the Ife Princes as Kings like the first Oba Of Efon Alaye who was Oduduwa's Son

So, you have my full attention. Just to clarify. Are you saying there is a group of people in Ile Ife who are indeed Igbo by genealogy but are also considered Yoruba?. Please explain.

By implication, Igbo Inhabited Ile Ife before Oduduwa (Yoruba)?

The Ancient Igbo Ancestors of today’s Yoruba yes

Today’s Yorubas descended from both Groups

The Igbos migrated to many other places too but Yorubas today are a mixture of both Groups

the Aboriginal Igbo and the Oduduwa Settlers group

For example the Akaraigbo of Ijebu Remo is the Most Senior Traditional Ruler of the Aboriginal Igbo

Remember I mentioned that the Ijebu are of mainly Ancient Igbo Heritage , the Akaraigbo is not

Of Oduduwa Ancestry like most Yoruba Rulers

Another one is the Ilaje Olugbo of Ugbo in Ondo State, they are of Pre Oduduwa Igbo Ancestry

Because Oduduwa met them in Yorubaland

Thank you for the affirmation. Your insight has richly rewarded my time in Nairaland this morning. I'm happy to see that one of our pro-Tinubu disciples is also a man of truth and knowledge when it comes to uncovering non-political matters. We will support you when the "He is Igbo" mob comes after you because the history you share deserves recognition and promotion.

Acknowledgement of common ancestry can help douse the embers of politically induced hatred on this platform. You are only fighting your brother for the undeserved benefit of politicians, is the message to the fighting mother hens .

Much appreciated sir.

So Igbo people were living in Ekiti?

The Ekiti are a Ancient Pre Oduduwa Aboriginal People already in the Land


That is why they are said to be of Ancient Igbo heritage
Ife Igbo Aboriginal People are still in Ife
The Obawirin is their Traditional leader

I am talking about the pre Oduduwa Igbo People of Yorubaland
They were include the Akoko ,Owu,Ijebu,,Ijesha,Ilaje,Ekiti People

The Ilaje and Akoko People migrated out of Ife after Oduduwa arrived
The Ife called the Pre Oduduwa Aboriginal People the Igbo or Ugbo

The first Oduduwa prince to be an Ekiti Ruler was the Efon Alaye but he ruled over an Aboriginal Ekiti People

If you are Ekiti go and ask your Chiefs and Traditional Rulers they will explain the History to you Properly

It seems you don't understand that Ekiti is not a singular village or town

Ekiti was never part of Ife

If Igbos live in Ife, fine

No Igbo lived in Ekiti

Ekiti is filled with Ekiti People.

There are Kings in Ekiti that didn't come from Ife

If Elefon came from Ife, it still doesn't mean that the whole village came from Ife

Ugbos lived in Ife until they migrated to Ilaje, They did not live in anywhere else in Yoruba land
