Yoruba has no recorded history. It was passed down orally and some stories could have been either watered down or exaggerated.

Even those with recorded histories are questioned. Talk more of those with oral folklores.

he should also add the venue and those who crowned him.

Now I see, Propaganda is traditional and cultural here

“Oduduwa is the First Crowned King in the World” – Ooni of Ife Declares on Ilaji FM

History came alive on Saturday as the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, took to the airwaves of Ilaji 91.9 FM with a royal revelation – Oduduwa, the first Ooni of Ife, is the very first crowned king in the entire world! 🌍👑

The revered monarch described the throne of Ile-Ife as the origin of kingship, not just in Yorubaland, but globally. According to him, “The first Ooni, Oduduwa, was not only a leader but the first crowned king in the history of mankind.”

During the special broadcast, Kabiyesi showered praises on the Okanlomo of Yorubaland, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi, for founding Ilaji Radio. He offered royal blessings, praying for the station to soar and become a beacon for Yoruba culture, heritage, and global influence.

When asked why he holds Ibadan so dear, the Ooni’s response was heartfelt: “Ibadan is my root. The first Ojaja was once a warlord in Ibadan. Lagelu, who founded Ibadan, came from Ile-Ife and was originally Agelu.”

The broadcast didn’t just inform—it inspired. Listeners described it as a masterclass in history, heritage, and the unbreakable bond between Ife and Ibadan. With Ilaji FM as the voice, Yoruba history is not only being preserved but also amplified for generations to come.

Those are arguing blindly before, I hope you have hear it out.

What is the point of this I get am before story if Yorubas are inconsequential tribe that no longer prioritises its revenue to employ teachers for the free education of all children?

Do oral folklores even have dates going back centuries and millennia

Ife is the supreme king of all Yoruba both home and abroad.. Yoruba race is not just a small race to joke off.. I’m so proud to be a Yoruba race….. all Yoruba land belong to oduduwa. We are all omo oduduwa…

Where do you place Alaafin in this situation?

Was every Yoruba town not part of the Oyo empire as far as Benin Republic

Who is dragging the first and the last with them, this people get problems

Do you know that some Yoruba historians equate Alulim of Eridu with Lamurudu the father of oduduwa? See the similarity in names. Just one more thing to confuse you

Is tribal antagonism the only thing in some of you people's heads?

He is giving his own account from the angle of Ife
It does not make it a fact or truism

But why are Africans more likely to believe European and Middle Eastern myths?
Heaven knows that if anyone said an African priest walked on water every African will immediately scoff and laugh his head off.

But millions believe this of a Middle Eastern man whose existence is even contested.

No be story dem ask U to tell, use Ur connection to get the road network in Ife fixed. That ancient city has one of the worst roads in the South west. Even the road to his palace is nothing to write home about.

Would u like me to bring out ur history of tribal bigotry? Or u only remember tribal antagonism when the truth stares u in the face and u have nowhere to hide?

Go ahead. Show me where I have shown tribal antagonism even once.

You probably just assume I am from a soecific place while you have no idea where I am from.

casualobserver:
With due respect by my people in Ife, What the black man needs to do is to get his story straight. You can’t be saying oduduwa was the 1st crowned King at the same time saying his son was Oranmiyan who according to the same story lived around 12-13th century when we know their were Egyptian kings before the time of Jesus. At least 1300 years prior.

Let get our stories organized and coordinated please

Thank you.

Forget it. When they insist that the world was created at Ile Ife.

Overall everyone has myths so I dont worry about African myths. I worry more about Africans who worship foreign myths as gospel truth.

It is not about believing one myth over the other
I don't think any culture or tribe has ever come out to claim having the first king on the face of the earth
That will not be something to qualify as a myth embedded in spirituality or divinity but a fact that will need to be checked
For example, the Pharaohs were Kings. So were the Persian Nebuchadnezzars as well as the Arabian Amirs. So it will be left to check if Oduduwa was crowned King before all these humans
Oduduwa was human from all accounts so divinity or mysticism cannot be employed in this narrative as you mistakenly attempt

BUT TODAY, THE POLITICIANS BEGIN TO EMPLOYED KINGS AS THEIR HOUSEBOY,LOOK THAT THE GAPS BETWEEN THE POLITICIAN AND THE KINGS, NOW KINGS ARE CHASING MONEY AND ABANDONED RESPECT🥸

After this man done smoke weed finish, he go come dey talk rubbish.
Oduduwa is supposed to be the 32nd Oba of the Benin kingdom.
How can a supposed 32nd oba be the first to be crowned
Nawa o

Is there historical record to prove this?

Ask any yoruba man the neaning of Oduduwa and he wont have an answer, this is because Oduduwa is what the people of Ife called the young prince who was hiding under the alias Izoduwa (they couldnt pronouce Izoduwa so they called him Oduduwa). The prince organised their warriors and defended the kingdom from external agressors and he was made king in return.
Izoduwa, a prince from the acient land of Benin was originally known as Ekaladerhan... who was on the run for his life hence needed to be Identified by an alias. He was royalty, a prince, the son of a king; hence cannot be the first king in the world.

Your question doesn’t portray smartness. He did not say he Ooni Ojaja is the first crowned king.
He said Oduduwa was.
Now, before your fault that, you will need to be a sound history scholar.

So what should we do with this oduduwa news

The record of the Kings of Israel in Hebrew Scripture is full of mysticism and claims of Divine intervention, no?
Does the same scripture not commence with talking snakes, parting of waters, manna from heaven, rods turning into snakes and so many other mystic miracles? And it draws a direct line from these events to the alleged historical kings of Israel many of whom were also surrounded with similar myths of Divine activity and Divine rights.

The record of the Pharaoh of Egypt is also deeply steeped in myths, legends and Divine activity. The Pharaoh was not even believed to be a mortal but a god, and the activity of Ra, Seth, Horus and Isis is tapered with many stories. Even the River Nile was not believed to be ordinary.

The record of the Arabians is similarly plagued with myths and legends from the pre-Islamic period right through to the time of the many Caliphs and Sultans in the golden age of Islam.

The record of Chinese Emperors commences in legend and myth as do those of Indian Kings of antiquity. Just google "first emperor of china" and you will first see the mythical ones before the confirmed one.

In Sumerian Legend there are legends of extra terrestial beings - the Annukaki who allegedly came from another Planet, governed, and even created man and had a line of kings who lived for millenia each.

I can go on and on.

That's the same stories in the Bible can be myths too, but you just have to believe it if you've subscribed to that faith or sect or race.
