Mbanda:
Have you asked yourself, why yorubas always boast with lagos? You can't see northerners boasting with Abuja and kano the way yorubas always do with lagos. This their unending boasting has made people to dig out the history of lagos, And now everybody knows that binis are the real owners of lagos not the yorubas.

So hausas now owned Abuja abi?

Anyways, Yorubas traditionally don't boast about Lagos until some individuals claim it as no man's land. When people assert that your land is unclaimed, what's the response? Stand idly by while they utter all sorts of nonsense?

MadamVanessa:


By default, they're so emotional and weak. That's the reason Fulanis butchers as many of them and chased them away from their land and instead of them to retaliate, they ran away to Benin republic, they cried and cried and beg, same Fulanis came back and claimed Illorin, banned their ancestral isese festival, all they do is to cry and become so emotional.

See how they're crying all over cyberspace because of what oba of Benin said, see how they're obsessed about the Igbos because they prosper than them in their land hence they hate the Igbos with passion and become so emotional because they can't measure up with the Igbo tribe.

Despite their brother being the number one citizen of the country, they so insecure. So much for them. I pity them seriously.

What tribe are you again?

Hendrixky:
Are the people of South west becoming to emotional and tribalistic


I thought they only do this when it comes to politics but it is now obvious that even the educated ones still don't know history
Even when the oba akiolu came out to say it years ago still these people still looking for ways to display thier emotional and tribalistic nature

Words like oshodin, Eko, idumota are all Bini words

Are they saying oba akiolu is stupid

Even akiolu says that one of the greetings the yorubas use in the Palace by raising up thier hand and also rubing their palm together 👏 is a way of showing respect to the Benin Palace

Regarding the bolded part, may I inquire about the Oba's statement? I'm eager to witness something and, in turn, share something with you. I await your response.

WeirdAlien:
Time travel is a phenomena suggested in different ways.
One is to travel to another timeline in the universe. E.g. go back to a past timeline, or go forward into the future. (e.g. Terminator Movie).
Another form is time dilation through space travel. For instance, it is theorized (Einstein) that if you travel at the speed of light for a few minutes, or through a wormhole, hundreds of years might have passed on earth! (e.g. Planet of Apes movie).

Let's get into our story.
At a time on earth, there was a great famine that shook the whole world. Rain ceased for several years. A congress was held, divination was made by the Ifa priest. A sacrifice must be made to Eledumare, the supreme being. But after being prepared, this sacrifice must be taken to heaven by someone.
And that's the problem. It wasn't known if anybody who went to heaven could return back to this world, so nobody wants to carry the sacrifice. Just before all hope was lost, the Vulture volunteered himself. Although he hoped to return, if he didn't, he would have sacrificed himself too.
So the vulture took the sacrifice to heaven - it took him 7 days to get to heaven and present the sacrifice, and another 7 days to travel back. All of the journey was in-between heaven/earth, in the void.
The day he got back to earth, it was raining heavily and he was seriously beaten by rain.
To his dismay, many things have changed, he could not locate his own house. He knocked on several doors, but everyone kept slapping him him on the head and pushing him out back into the rain - no one recognized him, they were disgusted seeing him, he was short, his feathers soaked, dripping wet.

He eventually found himself at the palace. The King and Ifa priest were different people! When he explained himself, they realized he belonged to many generations ahead of that time. His journey of 14 days total was 1,400 years on earth! Apparently, every 1 day of his journey was 100 years on earth!
His legend had been passed generations down, the one who took sacrifice to heaven and never returned. It started raining normally on earth since the day he started his journey into the void. Eledumare answered their prayers the day the vulture departed the earth, and it particularly rained heavily on the anniversary of that day of every year.

Because of this sacrifice, the vulture is considered an untouchable bird in Yoruba culture. You don't kill the vulture. You don't eat the vulture. You don't do appeasement with the vulture. You don't sacrifice the vulture.

The existence of this folktale suggests Africans were not all about religion, but had indigenous science in the past.

The Yoruba time travel folklore you've shared is a fascinating example of how cultures incorporate scientific concepts into their myths and legends. It's intriguing how the story blends time dilation and space travel ideas with religious beliefs.
This narrative reflects a creative way of explaining the passage of time and the origin of cultural practices. It also demonstrates that historical cultures often had a deep understanding of their environment, combining science and spirituality to make sense of the world around them.
This Yoruba folklore highlights the richness and complexity of indigenous knowledge systems.
