Exposed Origin Of Oduduwa by gregyboy(m): 8:23pm On May 05, 2021 |
The origin of Oduduwa like everyone believed to be from ife was actually a big false lie The europeans had contact with the vast yorubas as early as 1826 and there was no mention of Oduduwa Though they had contact with some Yorubas like ijebu, itsekiri aworis but they never mentioned or heard Oduduwa narrative from them. The ife people as we know where the most religious people in the ancient yoruba time, And they were accorded respect by some yorubas, the ife people worshiped ifa, which had is derivative from the name ife, the worship of oduduwa never existed and the artworks found in ife were purchased by the ifa priest from art vendors who used them for religious purposes those artworks was never made in ife The man who invented Oduduwa was samuel Johnson in 1897 an oyo captured slave who was schooled in lodon, and was later given his freedom back to Africa, He had formed Oduduwa from his imagination to falsely unit the yorubas into one, he had seen the future on European occupation in Africa and there was a need to prepare them a for a country by giving them a sense of unity in the future The Benin claim to oduduwa was also false this was done when the bins at early times around 1915 sought political support from the yorubas and they were automatically grouped also as Oduduwa children Oromiyan on the other hand is an idol from oyo believe to be their predecessor Anyone with a contrary opinion should bring evidence Tao11 Macof Fezz Etrusen 1 Like

What if I tell you that Ife originally is located at Kogi? And odudua was an Igala name that's Odu du WA meaning God's gifts. hear how it started. The so called Oduduwa was a bini Prince who had quarrels with his younger brother on who would succeed the late king their father. The younger began to sort means of harming the elder and was overwhelming the later. So the elder decided to leave the fight and allow his brother ruling instead of shedding blood. On his way running, he was caught by Ogala Kingdom boundary security guard. So after asking him who he was and where he came from, he feared not to be returned back to his bini people, so he said he was God sent or from God. So immediately, the guards rushed him to the king as he repeated the name as God sent. After some while in Ogala now Igala Kingdom, the king gave him his daughter to marry with an allotted land to farm known as Ife. There he bore children and feared that soon if he didn't change environment, his people would one-day know about this and come for him. So he ran with his wife and children to the now known Ile Ife that's Ife house or home of Ife. So meeting some Yoruba's there who were fighting war with the hope of finding a saviour, Odudua introduced himself as the sent from God. They asked for signs to proof his claim, he took them to a mountain top and instructed a rope to come out of the sky which he told them was his means of transportation to earth. Though some believed he got these magical powers from his bini Kingdom while others held it that the Ogala people who practiced Ifa (traditional religion of sand, water and air ). So after he lead them to battle which was won, he was installed as king. He was ruling when the bini people learnt their king was ruling another land successfully. So they came begging he follows them back but he refused rather asked one of his sons to go on his stead who was later killed. Till tomorrow in Ile Ife, there's a stool that no Yoruba person can sit on except a bini extract. And only a bini person can coronate an Ife Oba... Sorry I can't keep names and dates of this story... So no dates and names like the Ogala king,bini late king then etc 1 Like |

gregyboy: The clue is in the word. His story, and not my story, or your story, which is what your opening post is. For example, there is a story about some white person discovering a River Niger, but if do your own research you will find that some people were living by this River long before the white person claimed he suddenly discovered it. Once you understand that fact you will stop believing stories and learn to write your own story with some credibility. 1 Like |

In my lifetime, I will continue to see to it that Benins make use of their brains. My friend Ewuare-2 dared me that it is impossible. I told him to watch and see. Cc: budaatum 5 Likes 1 Share

TAO11: Stop making a fool of yourself. The meaning of Ogiso is quite straight forward, unlike the yorubas that will add suffix and prefix to a name just so that it has meaning to them. Ogie (king)+ iso (the sky)= (Ogiso) king of the sky. So straight forward. 1 Like |

Fezz:Now, I’m not sure what you mean by straightforward. Let’s apply the same dumb reasoning of yours with which you attacked @budaatum: The actual word is “ogiso” — o.g.i.s.o. To tell us the meaning of “ogiso,” you wrote: ogie-iso — o.g.i.e.i.s.o. Where did the extra “i” and “e” pop-out from ?? I’m simply applying your own lame reasoning to your own translation of the simple word, “ogiso”. —————————— Your former fraud-in-chief Erediauwa translated this simple word “ogiso” as follows: “ogien'oriso” — o.g.i.e.n.o.r.i.s.o. Where did the extra “i,” “e,” “n,” “o,” and “r” pop-out from ?? I’m simply applying your own lame reasoning to your own’s translation of the simple word, “ogiso”. Cheers! 8 Likes 2 Shares

Fezz:Well, you are allowed to dream. The so-called Igala boy (whom no Igala account agrees with) is allowed to dream as well. However, historians’ conclusion stands that Oduduwa has absolutely nothing to do with Benin except that one of his male descendants established a monarchy over the backward Binis. 5 Likes 1 Share |

This is what you get when you decided to beat around the mythology created by men for political unification what you get is unendless talks that leades to know where Precious time that would be used to unreveal other part of vital history yet untouched and unexplained will be waisted on unprecedented Gibberish argument All to troll each other for tribal reasons and catch fun Arguing with people that have no history, people who built their history on myth and lies yet you invite them to distort it, then you start yelling they are taking your history away when you actually invited them what do you aspect eat your cake and still have it In my spare time, later in years i will dedicate my time researching benin history to a standstill |

What amuses me is this assumption that all Yorubas originated from Oduduwa, when some hold on to Obatala as their origin. Pity we do not teach history in our Nigerian schools I suppose, but intelligent individuals can still bother to educate themselves. By the way, does anyone know what we named the people of the bush? 1 Like |

TAO11: I don't want to argue why you continue living in denial, that's your business.. but for your information, everywhere you look you only find 3 options for Oduduwa's origin. They are; A. East from mecca B. East from Edo (Igodomigodo) C. Up, fell from the sky. These are your only options, so choose the most reasonable and logical option. 1 Like 1 Share |

budaatum:We must be willing to pay close attention to what our elders mean when they say Oduduwa is our father. First of all Oduduwa had parents, he also lived in the context of time & space with his contemporaries around the 11th century — just 11th century here oo. Secondly, what is meant when our elders regard him as our father is NOT that he gave rise to his own parents, ancestors, wives, contemporaries, and every single Yoruba living today. No, our elders obviously didn’t mean that. That’s obvious enough at this point not to have been what is meant. What our elders mean then by regarding him as our father is that he played an extremely pivotal & significant role which completely transformed Ife and hence Yoruba civilization in the most significant era of our early history, viz. in the late 10th century/early 11th century. And because Obatala (a contemporary of Oduduwa) also played the same role (but to a lesser degree) around the same period, he also was elevated by the Yoruba people to that lofty status of father. This use of the word (i.e. “father”) is not in the sense that Obatala and Oduduwa gave rise to all Yorubas alive today. Of course their contemporaries in Ife at the time were not impotent. They also have their own descendants too among present-day Yorubas. Cheers! 9 Likes 2 Shares |

First of all, no sane human being (let alone historians) ever took the fraudulent modern-day Edo origin super-story serious at any point in the scholarship of African history. So, do not squeeze it in in an attempt to compensate for you natural Edo insecurity. davidnazee:And as expected, david-the-dullard didn’t disappoint me.
