[/b]Edo/Bini (Benin) people should keep searching for the trace of their lost Prince..

Ekaladeran is not (turned) Oduduwa
[b][/b]THE BENIN EKHALADERAN FABLE HAS NO BUSINESS WITH OUR ODUDUWA

[b][/b]In two pictures below, one is our REVERED Oduduwa and one of Yoruba ANCESTORS in whom all yorubas worldwide are proud of and this is why we have his statue everywhere in Yoruba land to the point of naming Yoruba sovereign Nation Oduduwa Republic.

[b][/b]The second picture of a native doctor-like man is supposedly that of Ekhaladeran according to Benin people.

[b] from both pictures we can now see that our Oduduwa have no business whatsoever with the Benin native doctor Ekhaladeran whom even the Benins are not proud of hence his statue had to be placed indoor unlike Oduduwa that's everywhere.

[b][/b]if character such as Ekhaladeran truly existed then there's no way he could've been related not to talk of being the progenitor of the current Benin royal house cos a people cannot be this ashamed of their own ancestors to the point of hiding him in side walls...

[b][/b]No way EKALADERAN came all the way from Benin and didn't change Title of yoruba kingship and Royal terms to that of Igodomigodo like Ogiso etc.

[b][/b]Rather He now went to change Ogiso To Omo'N'Oba ( Son of king)
Mother of king to Iyoba
Started worshipping Ogun, Olokun,Osun etc.

� BENIN people should stop kidding and come back to their root

I'm sure you're not Yoruba. Your page is a fake one created by unfortunate souls like you to let others insult us anyhow. Just leave Edo people alone fgs and stop talking about their history. We are not the same. We should be focusing on how we should get out of this demonic British contraption called Nigeria.

I am talking to Benin people not Edo in general okay??

Another deluded folk claiming Yoruba

Oduduwa is not a Yoruba ancestor . He was a man who came from an unknown place to establish a dynasty in Ife and Oyo. This was about 1000 years ago.
Yoruba peoples existed long before Oduduwa appeared
The Ifa religion predated his arrival.
The language predated his arrival

This dynasty did not cover all of what we now know as Yoruba land
e.g. Oduduwa has no relationship with Ijebus .
He did not even speak the local language.
The Yoruba oral tradition is that human life started in Ife thousands of year before Oduduwa arrived
The Ooni of Ife is believed to be his descendant
By definition all of his descendants are Omobas
BUT
Not all Yorubas are Omobas . In fact the vast majority are not.
Even in Ife there are traditional titles held by families that cannot be Ooni because they have a different lineage from Oduduwa

Finally The Ugbo people and their history is very important to understanding the story of Oduduwa They were displaced from Ife and driven away
