@Hogged, Ogedengbe was a warlord. He was so fiery when it came to war matters. He was also a well paid warlord. He fights for other communities and town as long as he's paid but for the most time on a worthy cause -- so I heard. There's also another, Fabunmi Oke-Imesi. He was also a warlord of almost the same calibre as Ogedengbe. You can access Oke-Imesi from Esa Oke. Oke-Imesi's in the Ekiti territory. When you get there, you'll see his statue there--of course of Fabunmi -- if it's not been removed.  So my brother, to the best of my knowledge, Ogedengbe was a warlord.

Well, according to history, Ilesa was founded by one of the 16 sons of Oduduwa, "Owa Ajibogun". He was believed to have fetched seawater to cure his father's blindness. When he got to Ilesa, he found already in existence, 5 towns. The head of the 5 towns is Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland. He was so recognized that they called themselves, "Omo Obokun". Okesha Ilesha was the most populated of the ancient town and its leader was Ogedengbe -- The Obanla of Ijeshaland. He played an important role in the Kiriji war in the early 90s. It was a war between Ilesha and Ibadan. It was believed that Ilesha and Ekiti formed an alliance, "Ekiti parapo". That's the best I know.

Oh yes. Awo is not great outside his Yoruba clan. He can only be remembered in SW for his free education and nothing more. In SE he will be remembered for how he stopped food from going there during the war. Zik is more of a national figure. Awo is a backstabber. Didn't he backstab MKO? Wow! I see how nationally figured he is.

true story brethren, a gf of 6months left her guy because she needed 20K and he could not provide it on the day he promised, he pleaded for 2more days saying he had spent all his money on his accidented truck which was undergoing repairs, she simply packed her bags, took the phone she gave him and left his house, not after insulting up to his dead parents in the grave,
this same guy spent N8k the previous week buying just undies for her cos she said she needed a change, infact he is Mr lover original.
See my people, love is giving of oneself,and money seems to be d easiest extension of the self, but then some folks are just plain prodigal, [b]A girl who demands money from a guy puts a claim to her man's time or life, she is demanding what she sees as hers. Really if you say you re her boyfriend,it means u accept her right to your ownership, if she can call ur 'kini' her own, then y cant she claim ur money to be hers too, afterall doesnt ur money belong to u? and do u not belong to her?how can she own ur frienship without d money, haba,
if you get money,give the baabe.if you no get,go borrow,if u no fit borrow,beg her and tell her you still love her with a dry pocke[/b]t.if she doesnt listen,let her go cos she is a hired killer and not a girlfriend. What if like in the case of my friend she refuses to go?well my friend's gf is claiming 170k as a parting settlement for 6months of sex and one abortion, you go fear fear.well that is what you call hired killer + domestic prostitute = she doesnt say thank you when you send her N400 recharge card cos its too small + she has many politicians and military men as 'uncles'  + she says stuff like "you cant foot my bill"during an argument+she has over 30pairs of shoes and gets a new one cos she likes the color, grin,
Your friend's story is funny. He was involved with a prostitute but an in-house prostitute. As for those things you said, a woman doesn't own me and I don't own her. There's a difference in belonging and owning. We belong to each other but neither owns the other. Heck, your parent don't even own you. You are always on your own. No one controls you unless you make your decision. You own a toy that's why you do whatever you want with it. You own a dog so you command it. Do you get it now? So if she doesn't own a guy, how does she own the money? This is M.O.N.E.Y. we're talking about here . . . spend it wisely or it'll leave you in a flash.

Sijuade is still alive. He's the deciding father of whoever will be Governor in Osun State. If he doesn't make the decision, no one else will. He and Alaafin of Oyo aren't big fans of each other. Sijuade is a close pal to OBJ. He's one of the most powerful monarchs in Nigeria. You line him up with Emir of Kano, Sadaurna, Obi of Onitsha. He's rich and has lots of influence. Do you know there was a country-- or state--- I don't remember now, that he went, pointed his royal staff into the sky and it rained in less than 5 minutes. In history, there was never rain at the place. I don't remember the place now, but it's true. They serve him as their god there.

Yes, it was bad right there then during the crisis. Modakekes burnt houses with mere eggs. No fuel, nothing inflammable whatsoever. Just eggs and boom a house is burnt.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=297077.msg4228269#msg4228269 date=1248243197]i didn't think modakeke was a place. i just it was just the name for the ppl. don't kno much abt them except that they hate the ifes. i remember when they were fighting years back '98/99ish. my family talked about them.
do u know the reason for the conflict btw the ifes and modakeke?[/quote]Modakeke is popularly called, amongst themselves, Modakeke Akoraye. Akoraye is a dove: A completely white dove. The sound the bird made was "Modakeke" that's why they named the town that name. Some years before Modakeke came into existence, the then Ooni of Ife was told by their oracle that some visitors will be coming into their town. And they should not under any circumstances, allow them to stay. However, the king went against the warning and accommodated them on that part of Ile-Ife. They existed peacefully until the present Ooni, Okunade Sijuade came in. Sijuade was purportedly said to have bought the position with money as his family was never entitled at that time to be kings. He was rich so it was really easy for him. He has a son which is kind of doubtful among the Ifes because many believe he's impotent and can't have a child, but who knows.

He assumed monarchy in 1980 I think and the clash first broke out in 1981. It later settled dusts in 1982. Adesoji Aderemi, who was a governor then, was the previous king before Sijuade. He was accomodating, but Sijuade wasn't as tolerating as his predecessor. Modakeke didn't find this easy so they had to fight to hold the place where they have been lodged as visitors. Modakeke in actual facts, are visitors. They are made up of a lot of people from different backgrounds, but mainly, THE TAPAs. The latest crisis that broke out was when Late Gen. Abacha created more local governments and left Ile-Ife out of the advantage and alloted Ife East Local Government to Modakeke. Ife with the influence they have, walked into the Federal corridors and had it changed to Oke-Ogbo, Ile-Ife.

Modakeke found this very insulting and a completely despicable robbery, then they struck. I have to mention also that their leader was not yet crowned even till today(but assurance has been made by Ooni last month that he'll crown him very very soon). The crisis went on and on, many people died. Spouses from either sides had to separate. Some kill their own kids because of the difference. A lot of atrocities happened. Modakeke are very stubborn people, they got charms and voodoos. They are determined people. Very small compared to Ile-Ife they were but shook the war professionals in Ife. The level they took it on was becoming worrisome. People fled Modakeke most especially because they were open to more dangers than Ife.

Modakeke refused to back down. At some point, Sijuade asked Modakeke's Baale, Adedoyin, to come and bow to him; the latter turned it down. There's rumor that they both went to the same school and in the same class I guess. The government got involved but Modakeke weren't ready for peace unless the Local Government was returned to them. To make matters worse, Ile-Ife ordered them to change the name of the town from Modakeke to Modakeke-Ife. That caused a lot of rift. I can go on and on. In the end, the Local Government was never changed from Oke-Ogbo. Modakeke changed their name to what they told them to. But ex-governor Bisi Akande, compensated them by handing them IFE EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OFFICE, although not recognized by the Federal Government but within the State. That helped quell the crisis a bit. If you have any question, holla at your boy
Culture › Re: Osun -- State Of The Living Spring! Identify Here by TheSeeker(op): 7:16am On Jul 22, 2009
Oduduwa as you may have already known emanated from Ile-Ife. He had 7 sons. One of them is Oranmiyan. Then there's Orangun: The one that formed Ila Orangun, a town still in powerful existence(That's where Bisi Akande and the former IG -- Tafa Balogun is from). The last child I think was the one that went to start Benin now Edo State. That's why Edo state still has to consider themselves as Yoruba because one of Oduduwa's sons formed them. Till today, in Edo State, you'll still find Yoruba names rampant everywhere -- spelling might differ -- but meaning and pronunciation are the same. However, Orangun and Ataoja have never been friends -- from the days of old till now -- at least to the best of my knowledge.

@Oyinda, the answer is simple. Have you forgotten the old saying "Don't put your eggs in one basket"?  grin grin. I figured if I put the thread on here alone, they might move it elsewhere, meanwhile I want to put together as many Osuns as I can from different parts of this forum. Then, I'll bring them all to one place, understood? This is about convergence of Osun natives, residents, students & fans.

@FL Gators

Yes, it's pronounced YayYay Osun. It wasn't the Yeye that wanted to kidnap the goddess. It was the whites aided by some greedy Osun priests. It's a wide known fact that Europeans have bought off all the real idols and deities by paying off the priests who should keep these things. A lot have been sold off in Edo, Enugu, Ondo, Oyo and many other states. So, the same was done about Osun and the plan failed. That was why the goddess never came out again -- though some people still want to believe it's been sold --- some fanatics believe it never was sold but no one knows the actual truth. I'd go with the latter, the fanatics. Susan Wenger was a principled woman and no way will she have agreed to sell off the goddess. Another reason is some years back, Osogbo king, Ataoja, said he's back off of worshipping and offering yearly sacrifices to the goddess; an attempt to scrap her relevance in the town. Well, I was told he was warned severally to retract his decision, refusal which he constantly maintained.

One morning, he woke up and his whole palace was in the middle of waters. Everywhere was heavily flooded, just the palace only. He couldn't go nowhere. He's a muslim and by tenets of the religion, he's not allowed to have anything to do with the goddess, well, we all know there was no way possible for a king not to have business with personalities like the goddess. I'm not a believer in such things, but I believe it sure exists, 100%.

If you go to Ife, you'll see the Oranmiyan staff where it's rooted. Do you have an idea who Oranmiyan is?

FL Gators:
aww, no, never heard that story.
Fascinating.

But I onced watched a Nigerian movie a long time ago, like 10 yrs ago or sth.
The movie was about a woman who was kidnapped and got turned into a fish. The fish was caught, and sold in the market.
A guy who was suspected of killing a politician bought the fish and somehow she turned into a woman gain. Just minutes before they could hang him, she became a witness and cleared him of accusations. The story has so many plots, many political controverst in it. One of the best ones, but I can't rem. the tittle. I'm not sure if its a model of the myth you just told me. Like Saworoide is a model of Abasha's term of presidency.
Oh, this is for real. You can google it. Osun Osogbo Festival. The immediate past apostle was Susan Wenger, she's a white swedish and I hear she was there for as long as 50 years or so. She died this year -- or so -- I think. How she ended up being an Osun Priest marveled me but I'm sure it was never manipulated. She's called Yeye Osun. Since the attempted kidnap on the goddess, she was never seen outside.
