CultureRe: Sango Vs Amadioha, Which Is Most Preferred And Why? Africans Oya Try by scholes0(m):
9jacrip:
Sango, a person in recent times known for emiting smoke (maybe fire) from his mouth was or is the Oyo's version of Oramfe.

Fire, lightening, thunder and more were all originally Oramfe's forte till now until all of it became wrapped around Sango who was known for smoke and fire.
Oramfe is Ife and Ondo Specific.
Sango is Pan Yoruba.
CultureRe: Sango Vs Amadioha, Which Is Most Preferred And Why? Africans Oya Try by scholes0(m): 10:00am On Mar 14, 2016
I would say Sango.

Sango is the god of Thunder/lightning, Fire and Swift Justice. He strikes down the wicked with immediate alacrity when he is invoked.
His symbol is a double edged Axe, called 'Oshe Shango"

While his worship item is Fulgurite or molten lightning stone, which is usually obtained from the spot where a bolt of lightning strikes the soil. Yorubas call it "Edun Ara"

His favorite musical instrument is the Bata drum, which also produces "thunderous" beats when struck akin to a thunder bolt.

His colors are Red and Black.

Not to mention that Sango was also an extremely good dancer during his earthly incarnation. grin

Ya timeline is wrong. Oyo didn't start in the 9th century - it started in the 15th century.

And the first Awujale was neither appointed by Oyo nor did it start in the 17th century. There was an Awujale and Ijebu kingdom before there was Oyo and there had been an Awujale from way back in the 14th century according to early European explorers.
According to Radiocarbon dating, the Oranmiyan staff in Ile Ife dates much older than the time Oranmiyan is purported to have lived.
I think there is so much History in Yorubaland prior to the dynasty of Oduduwa that is yet to be explored.

1. Geopolitical zone : northeast

2. State adamawa

3. My father's tribe is fulani and my mums tribe is fulani; so u are not wrong if you decide to see me as hausa/fulani

4. I have preferences for our local dishes, Though still very choosy atimes

5. I am very fortunate to attend schools which are very diverse at best thereby having friends of different background, religion, and tribe.
If both your mum and Dad are Fulani, how does that make you Hausa/Fulani (if there is even anything like that in the real sense)

That makes you Fulani na? Abi no be so?
