wristbangle: Bro, Eguns in Yewa are regarded as Nigerians.. Those in iwoye ketu etc Egun is an ethnic group in Nigeria. . Yes ancestrally they are from Benin Republic just like the Yorubas in Benin Republic are also from Nigeria ancestrally but regarded as an ethnic group in Benin Republic. . 4 Likes |

Omofunaab2: You are right though especially at the bolded. Well they will become part of Odua republic just like the Yorubas who have been nationalised in Benin republic and Togo. Meanwhile someone mentioned earlier that why not choose Western Republic of Nigeria or something instead of Oduduwa Republic maybe due to the way it sounds. What do you think about this bro? 5 Likes |

wristbangle: Oduduwa republic will be perfect if we are to be homogeneous nation.. but the awujale of ijebu land that has come out to distance the ijebu people from oduduwa nko? and ijebus are one of the largest groups in our tribes. Western Republic of Nigeria will be perfect.. 4 Likes |

Omofunaab2: Really? Why would he make such stance? Even if the kabiyesi has distance himself from it and people of Ijebu have agreed to Oduduwa republic secession, I don't think the Oba can do anything. Besides it will be the case of only one person fighting against thousands. I see the situation that the Oba may be "technically outnumbered" in his stance to have distance himself 4 Likes |

wristbangle: Oh, sorry, I meant to say the awujale has distanced the ijebu people from the general belief that all yorubas have their roots in ile-ife. He said the ijebus migrated from Waddai in Sudan.. So he might oppose the name "oduduwa Republic" 1 Like |

Omofunaab2:He can say whatever he wants - such matters should be settled by the will of the people in a referendum, and if "Oduduwa Republic" carries the day, no amount of whining by some traditional leader will make a damn bit of difference to the outcome. 6 Likes |

You people should keep on converging here like vagrant vultures that you are. That is the only leverage your education offers you, but I'll laugh over it so long your incoherent draft will end up a nonsensical piece. But pray! Pray earnestly that I don't ascend to power, which none of you can overrule anyway, because if I do, you will wish you never deceived people in this country. |

Re: Draft Of The Oodua Region Yoruba Constitution by AshiwajuFoward: 10:40am On Jul 03, 2017 |
Omofunaab2: Actually, I think what he said was that ijebus are not descended from Oduduwa, but that they were already present at Ife before Oduduwa's advent and establishment of his dynasty. He's more anti-Oduduwa than anti-Ife. Though I doubt most ijebus share his overall opinion in this regard. 6 Likes |

AshiwajuFoward: Yeah, the awujale's stance seems to correlate with that of Oba akinruntan.. But how come we all try to shy away from that discussion that there might have been the possibility of some settlers in Ile ife before the advent of Oduduwa? 1 Like |

Omofunaab2: To be honest with you, I have no problem with some Yorubas choosing not to acknowledge Oduduwa as their progenitor. Ife had been in existence with inhabitants before Oduduwa's advent. I place more premium on Ife as our source than on Oduduwa as our progenitor. Oduduwa's story is laced with so much legend and myth anyway. That's just me though. 6 Likes |

Re: Draft Of The Oodua Region Yoruba Constitution by StOla: 10:53am On Jul 03, 2017 |
Omofunaab2: It would be wrong to say ancestrally any tribe is from a country where their majority population is from, especially when that country never predated their migration or claims to their present abode. As such, the Yorubas in Dahomey are indigenous to Dahomey as they own their towns and villages in Dahomey, just as the Gun/Egun are indigenous to Nigeria as they own their towns and villages in Nigeria. The geographic description that is imposed on an international tribe by a country boundary does not in anyway erode the claims of the minority or less notable section of the divide to the country they have found themselves. Same goes to Borgu kingdom that is part Nigeria part Dahomey, or Adamawa that is part Nigeria, part Cameroun. The people retain ancestral claims to their own land of present existence even if they have a bigger kin across the international borders. 1 Like |

AshiwajuFoward: . The land description of the Oodua Yoruba Nation corresponds to the present states of Ekiti, Eko, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo and[b] all Oodua lands in Kwara, Kogi, Edo and Delta States[/b] He is right on point based on the @bolded. He even forgot to mention Niger state where we have Jebba. |

najoke:If you are gonna be truthful in this case, you will observe that in any typical Biafran thread, Afhongass are always the first to comment. I can randomly screenshot many of these threads if you doubt me. A typical Biafran doesn't really give a hoot about what happens in Afhonganistan, the evidence is right here this thread. Never mind I was here..... |

StOla: I agree that i was wrong by inferring that the Eguns are ancestrally from a country that was not in existence then But I think it's safe to say the Eguns in Nigeria can trace their origin to present day Benin republic..

AshiwajuFoward: I don't think he is referring to the whole Edos and Deltas. There are some communities in these areas that identifies themselves as Omoluabi. This can't be ignored. It's not as if they have any form of mineral resources to contribute to the economy but they must be considered first then if they refuse, no wahala. But so far, I don't think they have refused. I think those who are denouncing are ignorant about this Yorubas being indigenous to these states. Besides, I know Itshekiris are also part of Afenifere group. They might likely join else they know now. |
