michelz:
I can't say that I'm surprised.
The great Igbo race populated around there then and very possibly engaged in various agricultural and technological activities. Some of them later migrated towards their present location now.

While i might be eating some GMO foods unknowingly, I would never encourage the widespread use of GMO foods as against naturally grown foods.

mrvitalis:
Name one food u eat that's not GMO

Sangoamadioha1:
Read my answer again, I don't have time for slow people this morning

mrvitalis:
I'm trying to tell u that there is no really naturally grown food most of the food u eat are man made

By 1200 AC Oduduwa was still not fallen from the sky to become the progenitor of the oduduwa people linage. So the story didn't add up.

Sangoamadioha1:
OK, but my point still stands. Most GMO are for increased yield and not increased nutritional value. My preference is for naturally grown food and so i would not knowingly advocate for widespread use of GMO even if majority of the food we have now are GMO.

mrvitalis:
Thats not sustainable humans would starve to death price of goods of be out of reach for most people

GloriousGbola:
i googled uses of wheat. and all i can find is wheat is primarily used for making flour

so the question is - what would they have been cultivating wheat for, and why has that food not survived to this day?

all our staple meals from crops we cultivated in the past are still around.

so if we cultivated wheat, whatever we cultivated it for should still be with us to this day

If wheat grew in Ife yeas ago why can't we grow it now?

Cotton is not a Surprise the Owu Yorubas were already Growing cotton in the 10th Century and according to Oral History their Forefather Obatala who Oduduwa fought at Ile Ife was both a Cotton grower and a Cotton Merchant that was why his descendants through Iyunade Oduduwa's daughter were called Owu people

Owu means Cotton in Yoruba
Oduduwa later gave Obatala his daughter as part of a peace agreement at Ile Ife and her Son and his descendants became the Kings of the Owu Yorubas

Nigeria once did, in huge commercial quantities, apparently. I think it may have been in the 80's or early 90's. I read it as a youngster and believe this is true. Nigeria also was harvesting huge quantities of prawns. Nigeria exported all these to America. Eventually US began to put pressure on Nigeria to cut down on wheat production due to balance of trade issues. And due to the threat Nigeria's prawn export was thought to be causing US producers, Nigeria's prawn export was slapped with being contaminated and stoped.


Ironically the US now import prawns from India that are reportedly contaminated without sanctioning them.

Nigeriakan:
Hello,

I'm going to send you a DM. I need more information about cotton and textile in Yorùbáland.

Thank you.

mrvitalis:
Did anyone stop you and village from cultivating it? What exactly do you government to do come farm your farm?

In just 40 years Lake Chad has almost dried up.

Clearly you still remain daft and lack critical thinking abilities. Stop posting like an uneducated ignoramus.

If wheat cannot grow in humid environments, if Ife is currently considered humid and wheat once grew extensively in Ife, then it stands to reason that the climatic conditions in Ife were conducive for wheat (i.e not humid) at some point in the past.

BTW 5000yrs ago was 3000 BC. What does an ignoramus like you know about weather conditions 5000 yrs ago. Do you know London was once sunny?

Ajsmart:
When was GMO food introduced into the market; by whom and for what purpose? Did people survive before the introduction of GMO??

The History of the Owu Yorubas is intertwined with Cotton production from which they got their name even before Oduduwa ruled Ife

It was because Oduduwas daughter married into the Owu Royal Family and her son with his descendants became the Olowu that they are Considered the oldest Yoruba Clan

GOD Punish Tinubu, God bless Nigeria.

DMerciful:
So?

AkinPhysicist:
You're an Ibo. Your ancestors built nothing. You have no history. Neither do you have appreciation for the significance of such a civilization as Ife.

So, your foolish question is expected of a typical Ibo.
