Yoeuba dont know the exact date oduduwa arrived take it or leave it ...oduduwa came too meet an uncivilized people rules over it and enacted the Benin rule

Follow d benin history on the last ogiso then u see d date izoduwa arrived....

Beeds in Yoruba were traded fron the north simple if oduduwa came from d east probably he wont might have worn beed also if he came from egypt but if he fell friom sky he would have broke his beed unless he travelled a lesser distance which is benin he wore d beed along his journey to ife....

Note benin had beed before been brought by the portuguese traded by the nupes nd northerners
They cherished the Portuguese own better because it lasted longer and for its colour
but they know the time oramiyan left Benin and it was surely before u met Portuguese. So Benin traded with nupe but nupe didn’t traded with Yoruba that they share many boundaries with my guy stop lying. Oduduwa came from a neighboring town and when he came ife already had some ruler like obalufon so hardly uncivilized. And about falling from the sky am not ready to indulge u but point u to find the definition of myth. It’s falling from the sky is a myth long after his death when he was deify just like sango, Ogun and others were. So stop trying to distract and provide a good source for ur many bullshit or forever shut up.

where did you get your beads from then where is the source of your beads do you know what is coral beads ? from itsekiri or ilaje or aworis? Coral beads are found under the sea and is a tedious task to harvest even tedious than cowries .. we embrace fiber glass beads more and less of coral beads but Benin had it in excess when they had contact with the Portuguese most Benin artifact were made after contact with Portuguese explorers , Portuguese supply the brass .must of their art work are brass but ife and copper alloy and bronze and pure copper ...

The first two source were just about a Benin story that had no correlation with the point which was that Benin conquered any ekiti town or ijesha. Why the second source just talk about Oyo Empire, Benin empire and some successful raid Dahomey made in some Yoruba town.

the Egypt, Sudan and the Arab was recent by Yoruba Muslim and it’s just speculation just like Igbo day they come from Israel so that’s out. There is no demon one. Oduduwa coming from the sky is deep in ifa religion and have existed for land as he has been deify. Just like u won’t say sango or Ogun been refer to as god war as recent or ur Ogiso being ruler of the sky as recent. Now about oke-Ora ife history says that’s where he came from

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Obalufon: 3:20pm On May 11, 2018
- History Of Ekiti & its Roles In Kirji War.
-Carefully Compiled by: Raymond Ajeigbe ;

According to oral and contemporary written sources of Yoruba history, the Ekitis are among the earliest settlers of Yorubaland and they migrated from Ile- Ife. When Oduduwa arrived Ile-Ife, He met some elders there who are already settlers. Elders like Obatala, Agbonniregun Baba Ifa, Obalejugbe, Orelure etc. Obatala represents knowledge and purity, qualities that come with age and experience. Agbonniregun is praised as Akere-finu sogbon (the small man with a mind full of wisdom). It was known that descendants of Agbonniregun Baba Ifa such as Alara and Ajero were among those that settled in Ekiti, this led to the saying ‘Ado ni ile Ifa’ (Ado is the home of Ifa). After the collapse of old Oyo empire, a formidable town of Ibadan in terms of millitary with large economic size became a power to reckon with in the Yoruba land. Ibadan expanded their military tentacle around Yorubaland including all the Ekiti towns and Ilesha.

At a stage, the Ekitis/Ijesha could not bear the molestations from the Ajele (District Overseer) from Ibadan. Ekiti launched a togetherness campaign (Ekiti parapo) and seek alliance from Ogedengbe Agbogun gboro of Ilesha. This alliance is very importance because, no single town can confront Ibadan due to their large land, military size, economic buoyancy with overwhelming population.

Ogedengbe first turned down the offer because he also received a kind of military training in Ibadan and not ready to fight with them. Meanwhile, there was a period when Ogedengbe expanded his territory to Edo/Benin territory. He had already captured the whole of Owan /Ora area in Edo/Benin. Oba Ovonramwen sent a parcel of red sand, stony sand and gunpowder to Ogedengbe as ‘’aroko’’. "Look at this red sand, If the land on which you are standing is red, you are in Edo/Benin territory. Also, Gun powder means war, sand means leave the Edo/Benin lands and return to your stony land of Ilesha and fight the Ibadans. We will not attack you if you heed advice and we shall support your fight with Ibadan’’. Ogedengbe co-operated and considered alliance with the Ekitis. In 1870s, the Ekitis formed an alliance which they termed as Ekiti Parapo (Ekiti Confederation) to challenge Ibadan. Ekiti Parapo was headed by Prince Fabunmi Oke Imesi and Ogedengbe was appointed as the “Seriki Meyaki”, the Generalissimo of Ijesa/Ekiti Confederates Army. Ogedengbe declared war against Ibadan in 1877. Meanwhile, Ibadan had already had a trade problem with Egba and Ijebu in 1877, Ibadan traders coming with firearms from Porto Novo were attacked by the Egbas. Ekiti/Ijesha also seek for Egba/Ijebu alliance. In 1878, the revolt against Ibadan rule started with the massacre of Ibadan officials in Ijesa, Igbomina and Ekiti.

Egba, Ijebu and Ilorin threw their support and 1882, Ife also joined the alliance. This led to ‘’Kiriji’’ war of the rest of the Yoruba towns against Ibadan. Ibadan found itself fighting from five angles. In the east it faced the Ekiti-Parapo. In the south it faced the Egbas and Ijebus. Supplies of ammunitions are also coming from Edo/Benin to Ekiti/Ijesha army and Ekiti received some sorts of help from Ekiti Saro merchants in Lagos as well. As at that time, Lagos was already under British protectorate. Ekiti managed to get some more sophisticated guns, in which when loaded and fired, it reverberate echo in-between hills and sound as KII-RII-JII !..KII-RII- JII !...this unusual sound of gunshots gave the war its name ‘’Kiriji war’’. This war lasted for 16 years within 1877 - 1893. Ibadan was rounded up, food supply was cut-off from other parts of Yoruba land and shellings were coming from five angles but Ibadan stood up to the task and fight on. Efforts from Lagos, Alaafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ife failed, until British people thought French people might seize this opportunity to hijack the area as colony, then, they waved into the matter, declared a seize- fire and signing of “Peace Treaty” between the twenty-four Yoruba Obas for the cessation of war in Yorubaland. This peace treaty brought other Yoruba towns under British colony until 1960. Both sides suffered heavy casualties but some historians claim that Ibadan experienced famine and suffered more casualties while other historians claim it otherwise.

Though, after Kiriji war, statistics showed that Ibadan maintained the third most populated city in the whole of Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg with buoyant economic. Meanwhile, Historians keep asking some questions that: how strong Ibadan army and economy could be, as at that time, to withstand such multi-attacks over 16 years with the ability to feed their army and protect large number of children and women&quot

the source u gave me was written by Yoruba Babatunde Lawal so it’s also a Yoruba source. In the source it never said that Dahomey women invaded Oyo Empire am not blind it says Dahomey warrior not the Amazon invaded some Yoruba states which is true. Autonomous state like Ketu who resisted oyo reign were indeed raided by Dahomey. And my guy tone down on the lie it won’t help u here.

They requested help from oyo to conquer the Ashanti and if u read more about the atakpame u will know that oyo use some warrior from their tributary state like Dahomey to fight the war.

I wonder oooo my dear bro. Silly liars are these Ekerlehadan story tellers.
no mind them. Ife where oduduwa rule and died said he came from a neighboring town oke-Ora and till today he is still crown in oke-Ora but Benin people says he is from their side my question is how did he communicate with the locals and why wasn’t he documented as speaking a foreign language. At least oramiyan was documented as speaking a different language in Benin. Ife says he is a stranger to ife not a stranger to other Yoruba town but Benin revisionist said Yoruba said he is a stranger to Yoruba. If he is truly from Benin it will be documented in ife history coz Yoruba have no reason to lie just like they did not lie about sango mother being from nupe or the earlier king of eko being from Benin. Just like the ogoga of ikere who trace his lineage to Benin ife too will have never denied oduduwa too if he was from Benin so its benin who are lying here.
