That is authentic Ife History

It is my area

And if you ever wandered where you got your headstrong stubbornness from , there is an over 1000 years old Historical precedent when the rebellious Ugbo abandoned and disowned their own king at Ife for entering into a peace agreement that they didn’t like after they had already resoundingly lost the War absolutely nothing at all could pacify them not even their own king Obatala

Lol, this is a bunch of horse sh!t. Igbos were never ruled by kings but judges and we definitely won't have lost to the cowardly backstabbing yorubas. For your information, Oduduwa is the yoruba corruption of the name "Odudu-nwa" which means last born in igbo. So your sky god was one of the bastard sons of Eri. You really should stop smoking that weed or spewing trash.
Another big liar
IPOB=Delusion and lies
Odudunwa? shocked
Who told you this?

TAO11:
The following information may sound new to you, but please note that “new to you” is not one and the same thing as “false” or “absolutely new”.

(1) Oduduwa is not from Mecca, nor is he from any region around or near Mecca. shocked

(2) The Ooni never said, at any time, that Oduduwa is from Mecca or from any region around or near there. smiley

(3) It’s high time we started inquiring about the originator(s) of the stories we hear or read — regardless of how popular such stories are.

(4) Despite being very popular, the story of Oduduwa’s roots being in Mecca, etc. did not originate from the Yorubas.

(5) No it didn’t. Yes you may now be wondering from whom or where then did it originate.

(6) Scholars of African & Yoruba History have now reconsidered this story and have traced it down to the writings of a certain non-Yoruba man.

(7) Guess who! This story has been traced to a certain explorer by the name of Capt. Hugh Clapperton.

(8 ) And guess who Clapperton claimed to have gotten this story from. He too got it from a non-Yoruba man.

(9) To be actually precise, he got it far away from Yorubaland. He got it from from Hausaland.

(10) In fact, he got it precisely from a Fulani man by the name Muhammad Bello who was the then Sultan of Sokoto.

(11) The Yoruba historian Samuel Johnson noted in his magnum opus that there is no earlier record of this story prior to Sultan Bello himself.

(12) Since he (Bello) completed this story, it has gradually spread around and become commonplace even among many Yorubas.

(13) By the 1860s, this story has taken the place of an alternative story alongside the original one from the Yorubas themselves.

(14) By the early 1900s, this story (and its variants) has gained fame and popularity by the Yoruba literate-cum- elite class of the time.

(15) Much (if not all) of this fame & acceptance is due to some emerging products of the Middle-East which were shaping Yorubaland at the time.

(16) These Middle-Eastern world-shaping factors of the 19th century Yorubaland were (and are still) — Islam, Christianity, and Egyptology.

(17) The actual story of Oduduwa’s (and Yoruba’s) roots which is known originally to the Yorubas thus had this new story (and all its fancy factors) to compete with at the time.

(18) The fancy Fulani originated Midle-East story of Oduduwa’s roots appears to have decided the day against the original account of the Yorubas themselves.

(19) This Middle-East account thus held sway for a long time among both scholars and laypersons —excepts among very few conservative Yorubas who held on to the Yorubas’ own historical account of Oduduwa’s roots.

(20) This was the situation of things until very deep into the 1900s when professional historians in academia decided to pause and investigate the origin of the story.

(21) Today as I write this comment, please be informed that:

All who study the history of Ife and of the Yoruba people are now generally agreed that the great political changes which began in Ife in about the tenth century were indigenous in their origin, in their unfolding and in their dramatic personae. It is on the soil of Yorubaland that Oduduwa was born and raised; it is only in that soil that his roots can be found.

~ S. Adebanji Akintoye, “A History of the Yoruba People,” Amalion Publishing, 2010, p. 57.


(22) I am trying to compile a very detailed comment (about which I have been very lazy) on this topic with all the relevant scholarly references. I should put you in copy when it is ready.

(23) Another Hausani-Fulani propaganda which I have also debunked is the issue of the name “Yoruba”.

BABA forget the North!
They will frustrate the efforts

They want to keep reaping where they didn't sow
They don't add anything good to Nigeria!
Only pedophilia,religious extremism and hypocrisy,terrorism
But they still want to rule!
Its not done anywhere!
If we finally secede the north must be on their own!
We can accommodate the middle belt
But the north will pay!



I rep south Nigeria!
We do away with the north!
South Nigeria!
United autonomous states of southern
Nigeria!

The many minority groups can't be alone as a
countries
So the region they find themselves in would
cater
If Nigeria divides into 3 we'll be more
vulnerable
And we will keep dividing if we don't find a
common ground to unite
Can Nigeria divide into 250 as represented by
the ethnic groups?
No
We should divide into 2 instead
And the south would have 3 autonomous
regions
No marginalization whatsoever
The presidency and top offices would be
rotated between the regions
And the regions would in turn rotate between
the ethnic groups
We can't keep slaving away for the north!
The north planted the seed of discord in the
south for a reason!

The bible said
Then the LORD said unto me, Out of
the north an evil shall break forth upon
all the inhabitants of the land.

You know nothing About Igbo people, first of all, we were not the empire people, then we had the Aro confedracy, which was the biggest market and force within the East, The Igbo federation was going to be as the advancement of the Aro confederacy continue as far in as Enugu.

Within the Nsukka Opi axis, a contact with the Middle belt kingdoms of Igala and Tiv/Idoma having long been established trade in horses and the rest was profound, the iron smelting town of Leja Nsukka and the Environs was there.

Onitsha (Aniocha) and Across to Asaba (Anioma) was booming and Nnewi Axis too was springing up, we are nation states just like Ancient greek, before Philip Alexander the greats father, the city states in greek was scattered, Alexander took it a bit far by unifying the nation states.

It was going to happen, but Aro confedracy held more repute to the British than most other empires, note also that government by elders was very common in most part of AlaIgbo, so maybe you were not paying interest to AlaIgbo just how even today you had not travelled to AlaIgbo.

It had always been a little restricted here especially for Invaders and foreigners, AlaIgbo remains a sole area by Igbos abd for Igbos, say whatever you want no inch of AlaIgbo is open to invaders so you can call us empire, we are Igbos and we are unapologetic

PoliticsRe: Igbo People Have No Empire And No Heros by theTranslator:

We all know about the Hausa empire, the fulani empire, the benin empire, the Old oyo empire and their heros, we all hear about the history of some of their heros, we hear about usman dan fudio, Afonja, queen aminat, Sango and how they went to battle against other empires and defeated them.

But something amazes me, i have never heard about any igbo empire, never heard about any igbo hero, never heard about any igbo wars. other empires organized wars against the colonists, they resisted and fought until they were subdued, never read any resistance of the colonists by the igbos.

The only war, we know the igbos fought was the civil war in which they were defeated by NIGERIA.

The only igbo hero i know was a fictional one in Chinue Achebe book, Okonkwo in things fall apart.

This is something to ponder about, please if you know any igbo empire or any igbo hero, mention them, i am curious.
