Oduduwa Was Neither Yoruba Or Benin Most Likely A Nupe Man by babasolution(op): 3:42pm On Jul 19, 2024
The original ile-ife was moved to different locations at different points in history, the original inhabitants were nupoid people,the surrounding areas were also peopled by nupoid people,there is high likelihood giving the ancient association of the Yorubas with the Nupe that the Oduduwa figure who was termed a stranger to the already existing ileife was Most likely of Nupe stock or igala stock not necessarily Benin.The nupe- jukun- igala confederacy was the first ancient state in NIGERIA area.

OP may be correct because Nupe defeated & enslaved Yorubas for centuries too.

Yoruba people are always confused on where they come from, it then means that oduduwa would have be nt been known na, the birth of yoruba is lost already
Re: Oduduwa Was Neither Yoruba Or Benin Most Likely A Nupe Man by lawani(m):
Oduduwa is an ifa name and alias of the first king of a global empire. It is also an alias of God. Oduduwa means Odu da iwa. The odu that created character and the essence of everything. It is an alias of God and if you reach the rank as a matured human being, it means your conduct can never be faulted just like God. It has a clear Yoruba meaning. Yoruba and Nupe are closest in culture than others but the languages are not grouped together by linguists. All Yoruba words apart from coined words come from surrounding languages just like it is with other languages

Names don't necessarily determine the origin of a personality, the name Oduduwa could even possibly have been a given or adopted name and not the original name of the human personality of Oduduwa

because the Yoruba are propangadarizing false narratives of Oduduwas preeminence and claiming non Yoruba groups.
On X they are claiming Akoko-edo and OGORI is Yoruba.
