Christistruth00:You're absolutely correct about Obatala. This is the reason why the Ooni of Ife, Oba Eniola Ogunwusi also stated clearly in an interview that I read last year that the Oduduwa Dynasty is the 3rd royal dynasty in Ife meaning that other Obas had existed before the coming of Oduduwa from Oke Ora. Second, the Oba Frederick Akinrutan, the Olugbo of Ugbo-Ilaje did say that the original name of Ufe (Ife) is Ugbolokun. The family quarters of the Ugbo-Ilajes exists in Ife till today. These real facts have to be taught to everybody in schools today because Yorubas had existed before the Oduduwa dynasty and Obaship existed before Oduduwa. I felt truly liberated years ago when I finally got to know these open historical facts instead of the allegorical or watered-down history of Yorubaland taught in social studies right from primary schools which falsely placed Oduduwa as the original ancestor of Yorubas but this is false! Oduduwa Dynasty was the beginning of a new ruling dynasty and NOT the beginning of the people of Yorubaland. Obatala, Oduduwa, Oranmiyan, etc, are collectively some of the ancestors of Yorubas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDYNOtk3xqg?si=CANK8HhMgs_xwKVt https://dailytrust.com/olugbo-faults-yoruba-history-says-ile-ife-owned-by-his-ancestors/ Same thing too with the Igodomigodos (later named Binis) who had existed before the rise of the Oranmiyan Dynasty in Bini. 1 Like 1 Share |

Neckpresser101: Both the words Oba and Bini are of Yoruba origins. The Bini word for king is Ogie and ONLY the Yoruba dynasty in Edo uses the title of Oba. Oba (Yoruba)= to reign . This is why you hear the saying in Yoruba 'Oba ba l'ori oungbo' = The King reign over everything. Oba (Igbo) = Barn , has no correlation with kingship. Oranmiyan started the Obaship in Igodomingodo which he re-named Ile-Ibinu=> Ule-Ibinu=> Ubini=> named Benin by the Portuguese. |

Neckpresser101: You keep diverging to irrelevant issues. In the numerous 'oriki' (Praise poetry/ panegyrics) of the Oba of Bini, there are many references to Oduduwa and his royal titles but none to Izoduwa or Elkerledahan. This simply means, the Izoduwa/Elkerledahan (which was never mentioned in the earliest recorded histories of Bini by the European Visitors/Traders who visited Bini centuries ago and Native Historians) is a recent fabrication. |

XAUBulls: Can you believe that the Yorubas had a kingdom in Lagos before Oduduwa was born? It was the Moba Kingdom They built the 160 km Eredo wall near Ijebu 1 Like 1 Share |

Christistruth03:Moba Kingdom... That must be in the Ijebu-Yoruba area of Lagos State? Wow! I'm not surprised by your assertions because archaeologists had found human remains in Ondo State going back to thousands of years ago. The ancestors of every part of Yorubaland are older in age than Oduduwa who only represents a small chain in the history of Yoruba ancestors. If kids had been taught these historical facts from primary schools, the confusion over the true Yoruba origins which many of us now have clarity about would NOT have arisen. 2 Likes 1 Share |

XAUBulls: Moba Yorubas were settled in moba Lagos well before the 9th Century before Oduduwa whose Son Oranmiyan established the Benin Throne and kingdom was Born They are currently classified with the Awori people but we're in Lagos many Centuries earlier In the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun of Ijesha fetched from the Lagos Sea Water to cure Oduduwa's blindness there were already moba Yorubas. In Lagos and he spent 2 months with them The idol Worshippers Olokun diety was actually a moba King called Seniade that ruled from an Island off the coast of Lagos that has now been Submerged by the Sea. Some of the moba migrated to Ijebuland and the moba built the UNESCO world heritage 9th Century Eredo Wall near Ijebu and their kingdom included many Islands off the Coast of Lagos They have now been included with the Awori people but we're actually the Original Inhabitants of Lagos and were in Lagos Centuries before Oduduwa was Born The Oore of Otun Ekiti migrated from moba in Lagos and is descended from the moba Kings including Seniade moba is near Victoria Island and their crown predates Oduduwa's own Yorubas forefathers might not have been great at Technology but God Almighty definitely gave them Prodigious History Art and Music All Glory be to God Almighty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J7SXJzGuLM?si=r9vlK6L3Z4NEXAEn 1 Like 1 Share

Christistruth00: @Christistruth00 Thanks for this info on Moba Kingdom which from the map is located on the Lekki Peninsula facing the Lagos lagoon. I watched the illuminating YouTube video on the Eredo wall and it was mind-blowing. There are indeed major tourist sites in Yorubaland and Nigeria. With more advanced radiocarbon dating and ground penetrating radars, more excavations will be done to unravel ancient Yoruba history before the Oduduwa dynasty era. |

XAUBulls: You nailed it! And Yoruba’s dominance of AfroBeats also helped popularize many Yoruba words though music. I deliberately stop replying those arguing that it was Ibo than broken English lol 1 Like |
