Lie. Odua was the first OONI. IF YOU CLAIM, ODUA WASNT, WHO WAS? HAVE YOU BEEN READING ONLY SAMUEL JOHNSON HISTORY BOOK? YOU MUST BE FUNNY IF YOU READ YORUBA HISTORY BASED ON SAMUEL JOHNSON'S BOOK. WHO DO YOU THINK WAS IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THE HERITAGE OF ODU'A? OBADIOH/ OBADIO LINEAGE AT ILE IFE WERE IN CHARGE OF KEEPING ODUA SHRINE . AND NOT ONE UNKNOWN FOREIGNER....

Oga go to Ife and stop calling me a Liar (My friend's dad is one of the High Priest there. My Uncle was Area Commander there for a while and I used that opportunity to meet Important people and asked questions) Oduduwa was never called Ooni when he was king of Ife abeg.
It was after his Death that they started using the title Ooniririsha for kings.

He was the 19th dynasty in Egypt. Stop all these egocentric ideology of Yoruba supremacy. I am even supposed to claim it with such pride but let truth be told. This is one reason, many information are always been suppressed but not anymore with the advent of a lot of people having access to INTERNET.

How does this prove Yoruba and Egypt connection?

to understand yoruba, words have to be deconstructed..

Halleluyah = Aye oluwa(Ayeluwa) - Life of God/God is life.

jerusale(m) - je (eat) iru( seeds) isale(downstairs/ground) = eat seeds in the ground..

try to use logic... Anyone who understands the language knows how to interpret it... you and most people on this saying rubbish are definitely not yoruba so stop trying to complicate things you don't understand.. most of the time the answer you seek is right in front of you..

Iru means soy bean. Not seeds

That was an error and I corrected myself. She was most likely Jewish. Anyway we know the Bible is filled with stories of morality and not always accurate facts. Bible states the world is 6,000 years but we now know the world is way older than 6,000 years.

Are you reading the Bible like your NOVEL? The Bible referred to the acknowledgement of creation which you can't calculate at the rate of 6,000 years because, A THOUSAND YEARS IS A DAY IN THE CALCULATION OF BIBLE(1,000 year =1day) . Study the Bible before reference.

Lol. Sure, that's where the dating comes from. The creation story. God created the world in 6days and rested on the 7th. If each day is 1,000 years then the Bible is essentially stating the earth is not older than 7,000 years. This bible dating of the earth is even proven by very competent researchers. I want to ask you, if the earth is truly about 7,000 years old, then who the heck built Dufuna canoe. Hahahahaha. The Bible should be seen as a moral book, not factual. Kind of like a collection of moral stories we had growing up.

you are not yoruba, u are like olu317 who relies on religious books and books written by people who would do anything to hide Africa's history from Africans..

since u claim iru is not seed... then deconstruct the word yoruba or ya-ruba since 99% of yoruba words contain multiple words.

Show me who were the first writers of history if not religious leaders ? you aren't well studious. Do you even know how Yoruba used to write in ancient?

Yoruba is not a Yoruba word. I have forgotten the translation of seeds in Yoruba but it's not Iru. Iru is fermented Soy beans.

Olu you don't know maths. If the world was created in 6 days or 7 in total and 1 day is a 1,000 years in the Bible when it related to a creation story. Then the world is a maximum of 7x1,000= 7,000 according to the Bible. We now know that is not correct.

Sheba existed 3,000 years ago. Even if she build Eredo which is extremely impossible, the locals will not know her as Billkis. If the Billkis figure existed, she would have been a convert of Islam and Islam was not in Yorubaland 1,000 years ago. So the Biilkis is about 200-250 years old. While Eredo is over 1,000 years old and Sheba is over 3,000 years old. The dates don't match. Eredo was built by another civilization of people, most likely ancient Ijebu people.

Well your point is anachronistic in nature: agreed, Sheba lived 3000 years ago. This timeline is impossible to attain in which area of argument?

How would someone who lived like 1500 years before islam turn out to be a muslim just because he or she existed? So Musa was a muslim?

Quranic reference to queen of Sheba had no idea where she came from, while islamic tradition associate her with ethiopia/Yemeni league.

If the Ijebu built the Eredo civilization, haven't you ever heard that Ijebu also has probability of being named after the Jebusites of old?

Now the capital of king Solomon was an ancient stronghold of Jebusites, if you agree the Sheba story is recent, how recent is Jebusites and Ijebu?

How did two stunners turn out from the same realm? I will love you to reveal the source or reasons behind your '250' as you may be prone to vague speculation you blame people for.

How does this prove Yoruba and Egypt connection?

This is evidence that proves Yoruba weren't local people. One researcher Professor Frobenius calls those Etruscan cultures which found their way into Yorubaland the ‘Atlantic culture’. He rejects Egypt as the main influencer or as the geographical origin of the Yorubas. He based his hypothesis on the fact that there are many Etruscan cultural practices amongst North Africans that are similar to those of the Yorubas and he thinks that it was easier to travel from North Africa to Yorubaland than from Egypt to Yorubaland (Frobenius 1968:186–204). Frobenius says that the Yoruba and the Atlantic culture share:

• Water storage construction systems. He emphasised that the style of houses constructed by the Yorubas was similar to those used by the Etruscans, Moroccans and Algerians whereby the
Impluvium is built in the centre of the house whilst apartments with verandas are built in a rectangular form.
• The construction of their houses. Yorubas construct houses with ridge roofs that are similar to those in North Africa.
• The colour and form of bows and arrows used by the Yorubas are similar to those in Morocco.
• The North African hand loom, unknown in the Sudan, is found amongst Yoruba woman.
• The drum shape and other articles peculiar to North Africa are not found in the Sudan, but are found in Yorubland.
• The existence of the ‘Templum ’, amongst both the Yorubas and North Africans whereby houses are built round a temple or sacred building; even in towns, houses were generally built around sacred buildings. Frobenius thinks that even the religion of Ile Ife is based on the ‘Templum ’ idea (Frobenius 1968:336).

Frobenius’s archaeological findings particularly when comparing certain articles and house-forms between North Africa and the Yorubas, are true (Lucas 1948:348), 6 but his conclusions still raise some questions. Firstly, these same Etruscan elements like the hood loom, arrow, Impluvium , Templum and others listed by Frobenius are also widely used in Egypt but Frobenius did not explain how these cultures found their way into Egypt. The presence of Etruscan elements in both Egypt and North Africa suggest that these regions (Egypt and North Africa) were earlier influenced by these elements through their contact with the Etruscans. Lucas (1948:349) says that Frobenius’s view that all monuments of the ancient Atlantic culture are placed on the coast (Frobenius 1968:336) can also be questioned because important Yoruba places like Ile Ife and Offa where these monuments (Etruscan articles) were found are about two hundred miles away from the coast (Lucas 1948:349). As a result, Lucas (1948:351) believes that the Etruscan culture did not originate in Egypt yet the culture passed through Egypt and from there to Yorubaland.

stop seeing it as one word.. it is definitely a yo-ruba word but u don't want unlock history

How old is Mahli Empire compare to Egypt? You mentioned Egypt as it was ruled solely by black. Are You not just too funny? Show me pictures of Egypt pictorial historic documents seen in Mahli. I maintain, you are not studious enough. How many groups lived in Egypt during 18th/19th BC between the lower Egypt and upper Egypt? You referring to Mahli Kingdom that even dreaded ILE IFE.

How old is Islam in Yorubaland? That will answer your question as to how I came about 250yrs. There was a woman who was called Billkis by the locals. This is clearly a Muslim name. Islam was not in Yorubaland at the building of Eredo. So, I hope you see the impossibility of a Billkis Sungbo building Eredo. Billkis Sungbo was obviously a strange figure. I could argue she may have had some form of mental illness to sleep in the bush around a deserted settlement. People were obviously in awe of her and had no knowledge of how Eredo came to be. They must have come to a conclusion that Billkis Sungbo must have built this strange settlement since she slept and survived in the area as a mysterious figure. We know African's tend to elevate mysterious things they don't understand.

Why is it so hard for you to actually conceive the fact that Yorubaland was built without foreign intervention? Same as other African cultures? I want to understand where this kind of thought is coming from. Do you mean that we did not have the mental ability to achieve what we did, without a civilization like Egypt which you are actually in awe of. If Egyptians built Yorubaland, where are their pyramids

What title was Odu'a referred? you can also Go online and read stories being told between 1910s-1960s written by white scholars who had no interest but to write the story from the priests they met. Go to South and North America about the story of Yoruba. How then do they write the order of Oonis in this manner?

I agree with you on language development. If you know the history of England, you will marvel at the rate in which it developed to the current one being spoken. Despite the claim that English developed out of Germanic language. Still, they weren't Germanic stock. This show that people can come habit with other groups due to migration but doesn't make them the same stock. A clear case study is THE LATE BOB MARLEY WHOSE MOTHER WAS BLACK WOMAN BUT HIS FATHER WAS A PURE WHITE MAN. Can you now claim him to be of AFRICAN DESCENT? This is practically not true. So, be sincere with ourselves on issues as sensitive as this. I stand by my point, Yoruba are different from all other groups in West Africa and the ones who has similar religion with Yoruba is AKAN of Ghana, and even they maintain there migration out of ILE IFE. Do you know Yoruba have a DNA CONNECTION to Neanderthal which doesn't belong to Africa but EURO-ASIA? DO YOU KNOW YORUBA IS THE ONLY GROUP WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF UNTRACEABLE TRAIT IN NIGERIA AND AFRICA WITH 4%? Yoruba people are funny because they are too spiritual to understand the things of the spirit itself. Take for instance, how can Yoruba claim the beginning of mankind? Yet the oldest human presence is approximately 13,000 years ago and the skull is not even a Yoruba ancestor. May be I Should emphasize that since 1965, it was discovered, there hasn't been any outright claim by the white scientists to claim the skull as a Yoruba ancestor. Abram was the one God promised to give all part of the world in which his children will dwell. How on earth then will Yoruba claim ILE IFE as the beginning of mankind?. Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE when 2.8 million years old HUMAN SKULL exist in East Africa...

Truth is, we can all make grand claims but unless they are proven beyond reasonable doubt, they will still be guesses, Maybe educated guesses, but guesses nonetheless.

One thing that is common to the stories of all groups worldwide is water. Lots of it. Flood, If you like. And it is possible that there existed an advanced civilization that covered the earth way before this present one.

If there was a flood that covered the whole earth at one point in time (and there are physical indications to support this theory) then the possibility of bodies being washed from one continent to another is very likely.

There are whole cities buried under the sea and I read of a pyramid larger than the one at Giza in Egypt found beneath the Atlantic ocean where the Bermuda triangle is located.

So there are indeed mysteries on this earth that we know Nothing of.

Having said that, I must admit that I haven't read anything concerning Yoruba DNA that you mentioned.

It'd be great If you can post a link here so that I can follow it.

If only our rapacious politicians can be a little bit less myopic and understand the need to research, understand and preserve the Yoruba race...

According to several studies, Neanderthal DNA exists in all Europeans at a frequency of 1-3% as well as in Asians. Alongside those studies, the claim was made that Neanderthal DNA is absent in Africa.
Recent studies revealed that this is not correct



The white researchers tried to cover it after such massive discoveries. IF this wasn't true, how come Yoruba have 4% untraceable DNA?

I am sad that you quote this, because this is actually a racist attempt at Frobenius to discount Yoruba ability. In essence he was saying that African's were not mentally capable of such art as the Ife heads because they were so well done.

Yoruba's made those heads and even researchers of today condemn Frobenius's racism.
