The mecca bullshit doesn't make sense chronologically since our exposure is 7500 to 10000 years ago. Islam is a relatively new religion. Our arrival here predates the founding of all that mecca BS by approximately 5000 to 7500 years. Cultures also influence each other and correlation isn't necessarily causation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lawani: Well, No sir, because the Yoruba ancestors who developed the idea of survival theory through their invention knew the complexity of the world. Unfortunately you and others underestimated the word of ‘SHEPHERD' . DÁ ÉRÁN is an ancient Yoruba word and without yoruba ancestors being Shepherds,such lexicon will not emanate. Beside, advanced knowledge of ancient Yorubas made them domesticated some animals during the olden days. Have you suddenly forgotten this idea? Infact when the Yoruba ancestors were domesticating animals and rearing them ,others didn't realise there were difference between the hunting and rearing. You see ignorance has made a lot of people see things with over spiritual eyes because there is nothing like people from outer space. In fact the most archived information in Ifa Corpus does not have anything as outer space of Yoruba people but migration information. 1 Like 1 Share |

Olu317:so because Shepherd is in our vocab it means our people were nomads? The ugbo are called omo atorunwo, children of those who landed from outer space. Even the Bible in Genesis talks of people landing from outer space 1 Like 1 Share |

lawani: Shepherd staff is Opa Ashe in Yoruba land. Hence Yoruba were nomads but not in the form of the ones you see today which you see among Fulanis. The nomads are the ba alawos, princes, warriors, citizens etc. In fact, the old Hebrew didn't rear animals as you might think inform of wandering about like the herdsmen but take them to places for feeding and stray them back to their base for another time. Ato'hun rinwa is not about Coming from the outer space but a distant land. Unfortunately, it is a derogatory word used on some uncultured strangers who want to lay claim or feel superior to the indigenous people that owns the land the strangers lives. The giants you mentioned are not specifcally about outer space people but born giants on earth by people who were Godly but became wicked . Have you not seen in the days of Jesus when he said, ‘You are gods'. Is this different from the son of gods? So, If you read the Bible in the context of literature book, then you will interpret it from the angle of bestseller but if you can read it carefully and understand the Bible from the spiritual angle then you will see it as a sacred book and its figurative speech will make a meaning to you. Cheers. 1 Like 1 Share |

kayfra: I have my theory for the Eurasian gene and no, Oduduwa the king didn't come from anywhere. Oduduwa, the king came from Oke Ora, as stated by Ifa. The other Oduduwa from the sky is a cosmos creation. Oduduwa descent from the sky represent the creation cosmos which created the universe which includes the dark space, the earth and the first human who's the progenitor of all humans. As we already know, the first human was a black man, just as Oduduwa name depicts. On the Eurasian gene of the Yoruba, the gene is several thousands years old, so it means an ancient Eurasian gene which is not something that recently happened. I once had a theory that the Yorubas could have parted ways from the Isrealites/Jews, considering the fact that the Yoruba have the same names for God as the Isrealites/Jews names for God (Oluwa, Eledumare, Olorun, Iye/Eriwoya which are all similar to Hebrew's Eloah, El' mareh, Elohim, Yahweh). Also the Yoruba belief in a Messiah born of a virgin woman... That being said, if the Yoruba parted ways, I don't think the Yoruba parted at the time when the Isrealites were in Judea because if that was the case, Yoruba would have had the 10 commandments with them, even though Yoruba ended up doing some of the 10 commandments anyways, such as honouring one's parents and we all know Yoruba are big on honouring one's parents such as, greeting one's parents. There's also the female child inheritance practised in Yoruba culture similar to the Jewish women who inherit properties from their family as dictated by Joshua 🧐. As I already stated, I don't think Yoruba parted ways at the time when the Isrealites were in Judea except if they probably parted in Egypt because if Judea was the case 🤔, the Yoruba would have had the 10 commandments and also the Jewish script. But rather, the Yoruba used "Aroko" hieroglyph which is similar to the old ancient black Egyptian hieroglyphs. Albeit the Yoruba were also civilized and highly intelligently creative. That said, Yoruba haven't done any DNA test with the Jews irrespective of the 7500yrs old Eurasian DNA of the Yoruba. So either the Yoruba parted from the Jews/Isrealites OR the Yoruba are just ancient people doing their things (I mean the Yoruba have got the earliest DNA, including the ancient ghost DNA anyway). Na that ancient ghost DNA sef I wan focus on ![]() ![]() |

Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 12:50pm On May 10 |
OPCNAIRALAND: First, Oduduwa, the king didn't come from anywhere. He was from Oke Ora 📍 Oduduwa, the king became king more than 2000yrs ago and predates Mohammad to begin with, so those saying rubbish about him leaving mecca because of Mohammad need their heads checked to begin with. Anyone with a brain would know it's rubbish because Oduduwa, the king predates Mohammed to begin with and Oduduwa, the king was a black man, just as his name signifies📌. As a matter of fact, Oduduwa the king came from Oke Ora and its also stated by Ifa. The other Oduduwa which dropped from the sky as stated by Ifa represent cosmos creation which creates the black space, the earth and the first human who's a black man as the Oduduwa name depicts. As we all know, the first man on earth was a black man who's the progenitor of all humans. On the Eurasian gene which is 7500- 10000yrs old, it's an ancient Eurasian gene which is pointing to an old time. I once opined that Yoruba could be part of the Isrealites if we take in cognizance of the Yoruba having similar names for God as the Isrealites such as Oluwa, Eledumare, Olorun, ìyè/Eriwoyah which are similar to the Isrealites' Eloah, Elohim, El'Mareh, Yahweh. There's also the Yoruba belief in a Messiah born of a virgin woman, Oyigi, which is similar to the Isrealites' belief in Messiah, albeit the Isrealites are still waiting for their own blood Messiah since they already crucified Jesus. So either the Yoruba were part of the Isrealites (albeit they've not done any DNA test with the Isrealites irrespective of the 7500yrs old eurasian gene). OR the Yoruba are just ancient people doing their thing, after all the Yoruba have got earliest DNA, including the ancient ghost DNA. It's the ancient DNA I want to focus on sef ![]() |

Dsimmer:Which Ifaodu stanza are you referring ? Shed more light. Secondly, Orunmila is also known as Odudua in ifa stanza "Agbeka." He descended ontop water and healed the earth Thirdly, there is another story of Odudua as humanbeing who Orunmila supported to overpower Obatala humanbeing aswell Fourthly, there are two oke ora. Once is being reconstructed from Egypt's Coptic's language "ke Ra", which wasnt too far from "Elephan" Elephantine." While the Yorubas "oke Ora" is at Ileife . Which of the "Oke Ra" do you think Yoruba ancestors descended through ? |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 1:29pm On May 10 |
Olu317: First, Ifa always speak in parables. Secondly, Orunmila is a cosmos which created the two equal halves (Obatala and Oduduwa) cosmos of a sphere which formed the whole universe. Orunmila full expatiation is "Orun mo Ela".. Ela is the first plenary/absolute expansion of Olodumare💥. That's why Ela is called "Ela, Omoloju Eledumare". Ela is a spirit of light which is all about creation/creativity and intelligence/enlightenment📌 Ela is always referred as Orunmila because that's his role from the beginning. Orunmila represent intelligence and enlightenment which is what Ela represent, even as the full expatiation of Orunmila is "Orun mo Ela". Of course the first Ifa priest was named Orunmila before Ela born of a Virgin woman came to take over the Orunmila role which has always been Ela's role from the beginning of the world. Similar to how Jesus born of a Virgin came to take over the priesthood role from Moses, the first priest for the Israelites 📌. On Oke Ora of Ife, that was where Oduduwa, the king came from. Oduduwa the king is different from Oduduwa, the creation cosmos which represent the earth creation and the first human. 1 Like |

Dsimmer: Let me also add that Ifa didn't even mention any Mohammad to begin with. Nor mentioned any Lamurudu. IFA didn't mention Lamurudu nor Mohammad. I think it was even one core Northerner (Not a Yoruba) who started the conconcted tales of Oduduwa leaving mecca because of Mohammad. And that's even stupid to begin with because why would someone write on what he knew nothing about without having facts to back it up?🙄 Not to mention how stupid he was to not have known that Oduduwa the king predates Mohammad.🙄 As a matter of fact, Oduduwa, the king became a king more than 2000yrs ago!📍 Emphatically, Ifa states that Oduduwa, the king came from Oke Ora. His name depicts him as a black man. 1 Like |

Thereafter , with no one around to help her, she left the child and went to nearby village. On her return , the child had cleaned himself up and was seen walking when his mother and the villagers arrived....... Do you know why Ela Omo Oyigi Left Orunmila house ? Are you aware of the consequence that followed such act by Ela ? He later ascent through a tiny rope to Orun What about Ela Eluorogbo ? What about Ela Oluwo Orun ?

Olu317: The thing is you don't follow up on the names and also, you keep mixing up the human Orisha with the primordial Orisha. While Ifa do speak in parables, it does drop hints. Ela olurogbo is same as Ela Omo Oyigi (Oyigi is the virgin who gave birth to Ela). As a matter of fact, Olurogbo means Lord of the ancient one which is simply Ela 's accolades. Same as Ela, Oluwo orun. Ela is the absolute extension of Olodumare and that's why he's called Ela, Omoloju Eledumare 💥 In fact, It's Ela who started the creation of the universe by creating the primordial Obatala Orisha and the primordial Oduduwa Orisha which are the two equal halves of a sphere which formed the universe. Obatala means the King of light while Oduduwa means the black vessel holding the creations. That's exactly how the universe looks like, even as all things are made up of light and matter. It's Obatala and Oduduwa combination which formed other things on earth hence all things started from Ela, Omoloju Eledumare 📌 Btw, let me inform you that the primordial Orisha is different from the human Orisha as I already stated. For example, the primordial Oduduwa Orisha is different from the human Oduduwa king who ruled Ife. The primordial Obatala Orisha is different from the human Obatala king who ruled Ife. Ifa picked these two humans to be kings of Ife, in a bid to depict the two primordial Orisha (Obatala and Oduduwa) which formed the universe. Note that Ifa is also an educative platform which always tries to ensure the Yoruba keep these things into memory hence it always pick up human representations to depict the primordial Orisha so that the Yoruba can keep it easily into memory 📍 Back to Ela, Ela is also referred to as Orunmila which is "Orun mo Ela" in full expatiation. Orunmila represent intelligence and wisdom which is what Ela represent. Ela is a spirit of light which is all about intelligence/enlightenment, creation/creativity and clarity. Of course the first Ifa priest was named Orunmila before Ela born of a virgin came to take over the Orunmila role which has always been his role from the beginning of the world. Similar to how Jesus born of a virgin took over the priesthood role from Moses who was the first priest for the Isrealites. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Olu317(m): 5:12pm On May 11 |
Dsimmer:I am not wrong! Ela Eluorogbo is not Ela omo oyigi ota omi. They are not the same personality. 2. This is also not correct on Ela Oluwo Orun.There is no ifa corpus that mentioned Ela Eluorogbo as Ela Oluwo Orun. If you know such odu then cite it. 3. Ela Eluorogbo is also not the son of Moremi whom she gave birth to and named him Ela Eluorogbo,the primodial deity. 4. You seem not to get my drift.There is Odun Ela . Do you know why Odun Ela is celebrated ? |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 5:26pm On May 11 |
Olu317: Ela olurogbo is the same as Ela omo oyigi. The one who is different is the Ela olurogbo of Moremi who was a married woman. In fact, it was stated that Moremi named her child, Ela olurogbo because of the popularity and divine nature of the previous Ela olurogbo. Whenever Ifa mention Ela, it simply means Ela! Whether Ela Olurogbo, Ela Omo Oyigi or Ela Oluwo Orun. All are same. Btw, let me add that while Oyigi was a virgin woman who gave birth to Ela, her Oyigi name itself is also God's accolades📌 Ela is a spirit of light which is all about enlightenment/intelligence, creativity and Clarity. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Olu317(m): 5:37pm On May 11 |
Dsimmer:You should read a bit about my edited post. They are not the same. If you are an isese person , you will know these things. Are you aware of festival rites and celebration of Ela Oluorogbo in ileife ? If you know, you will mix them up. Do you know in this month Ebibi there is a celebration associated with Ela Omo ikofa Orunmila ? Do you know reason for the celebration ? |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 5:44pm On May 11 |
Olu317: I already stated that Ela olurogbo of Moremi is different from Ela olurogbo of Oyigi, the virgin woman. However, whenever Ifa mention Ela, it simply means Ela! Whether Ela Olurogbo, Ela Omo Oyigi or Ela Oluwo Orun. All are same. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 6:49pm On May 11 |
Let me also add that Orunmila who is known as Ela is also often referred as Obatala and Oduduwa because it's Ela who created the two equal halves (Obatala and Oduduwa) of a sphere which formed the whole universe. Obatala means king of light which also represent intelligence, purity and clarity. While Oduduwa means the black vessel of all creations (Now, You can see the reason why the first man was a black man📍. Even Jesus ended up being a black man since he was representing the first man). Anyways, It's the interaction of these two halves of a sphere called Obatala (light) and Oduduwa (black vessel/matter/earth) which created the whole universe. Ela is simply the word and the first absolute extension of Eledumare 💥 and is known as Omoloju Eledumare.. Ela created the universe and then came to earth through a virgin woman called Oyigi, then died but resurrected and ascended. It's all stated by Ifa. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Olu317(m): 11:45pm On May 11 |
Dsimmer:Stop this please!Ela oyigi defaulted and sinned against Orunmila. This is the reason, there is Odun Ela to appease and ask for for forgiveness of our sinful attitudes to Orunmila and Eledumare even against other irunmoles as well as ancestors of ours. If you do not know these, then you need associate yourself with isese people to get better understanding on the subject matter. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 12:27am On May 12 |
Olu317: What sin did Ela make against Orunmila? Let's start from there. Have you forgotten that Ela is Orunmila (Orun mo Ela), albeit the first Ifa priest was named Orunmila before Ela born of a virgin woman, Oyigi came to take over the Orunmila role which has always been his role? Of course Ela, Omoloju Eledumare is often referred as the saviour of the world hence why the Odun Ela is about asking forgiveness from Orunmila (Ela) and Eledumare. |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Dsimmer: 12:38am On May 12 |
Let me add that there's another person whom Ifa calls begotten child of Eledumare. It's "Jewesun, the lamb" as Ifa calls it. Since Ifa says Eledumare has only one begotten child, then it means Ela is the same as Jewesun. Even as Ela is same as Orunmila. However, is Ifa pointing out something to the Yoruba? This begs the question of what's Yoruba business with the Jews? |
Re: Yoruba History Supported By DNA. The Eurasia connection by Olu317(m): 10:20am On May 12 |
Dsimmer:Well, if you do not there a celebration to acknowledged sin and forgiveness , in ifaodu , then you will need to consult further from a priest / Olifa/Onifa/Babalawo on it. Ela after having so much power and he was healing the sick, raising the dead, opening eyes of the blinds etc, he began to think, he can do it once he lives the abode of Orunmila. Eventually,he left Orunmila's abode. After doing this, everything he touches doesn't become fruitful anymore each time people come to seek spiritual guidance from ifa through him. He later device the right plan after he went to see other Babalawos and he was told of his wrong doing after divination were made......... Thereafter he ackowledged his error and everything was restored back to him after sacrifices were done......... There are ifa stanzas that talked about sin and forgiveness and what to be used as offering . No human blood is used in ifa.Although fake priests and fetish people claiming isese do use human beings for their own selfish reason. Ifa reject human sacrifices. Finally , Ela is not omoloju eledumare. Gbogbo wa ni omo ope segi segi gbogbo wa ni ifa bi Orunmila ni Baba wa( if you are an initiate you will understand me) Ire o |
