Useless Ooni, you call yourself an Oba but talk like a slave each time you open your mouth. What a new level of stupidity! You look stupid and sound stupid too. You are probably drunk again, since they say you swim in liquor. Oloshi oba ajarabuka, awon alale and orisa ma a se e bi ata se nsoju for helping igbos weaken and drag Yoruba during this time when Yoruba should be all armed defending their land against igbos. So what's next? Steal thousands of hectares of land from Yoruba and sell to igbos?

igbos are not your enemy na they are just business people

Migrated or chased out?

Igbos and Yorubas are like beans and rice, they love each other very much. The usual tribal rantings here on nairaland is just a sign of deep love for each other, like brothers coming together to boast of how much they have achieved for themselves and how well they are doing after a long separation.

Abagworo:
When Yorubas arrived Ife they met Igbos there. It doesn't mean Igbos originated from there rather they lived together with some Igbo groups just like what happened in Benin. The Igbos were the original forest people that had no Kings.

.
You mean like orangutans?

Who be this bastar oni again

Mistaking Ugbomokuns in Ile-Ifę with Igbos in the Eastern Nigeria is the problem this Ooni Adeyęye has; just by virtue of his young age and poor exposure to issues of the eons. Igbos of and in the Eastern Nigeria are not the same as Ugbomokuns, the first inhabitants of Ile-Ifę. Nb.

Ugbo is Igbo. They inhabited everywhere in lower Niger with the Oru who are now Ijaw before other people arrived. As at then there was no definition of ethnic groups as we have them today. The world as at then resonated around Oru and Ugbo who were same people but difference was just water and land habitation. The Ugbos when displaced migrated down to join their Oru brothers in Riverine areas which weren't of interest to various invading groups.

Hehehehehehehehehe Ooni of Ife want those people to hit their heads on the way, those that are bereved and grieving Peter girigory Obi lost woefully

At least these kinda news will keep u guys happy for a while. It's good to have a little sense of humour. I see what Oni of Ife is trying to achieve which is good for all of us.

Armaggedon:
Ooni is just a boy punching above his weight. No evidence Yorubas predate Bini people not to talk of Igbos who predate every single ethnic group in Nigeria with evidence.

When it comes to ancient history especially that if Africans who don't keep good records, we all are boys punching above our weight.

Where’s the evidence?

If Igbos migrated from Ife, then Lagos really belongs to the Igbos.
That's where they were living before they moved farther south and now they have come back to reclaim their Lagos.
LAGOS BELONGS TO IGBOS.

YouAreNobody:

Same Yorubas who prevented anybody (including Yorubas who look like Igbos) from voting?

You're out of your mind. This election exposed your true barbaric nature which y'all hide behind your so-called "sophistication"

Don’t mind him.

BitterTruth01:
Can a man be older than his ancestors ? The way Yoruba people try to rewrite history is astonishing

These are a people that did not have any history before an exiled Bini prince known as Izoduwa , came over to Ile-ife to rule the savage homo erectus he found there . They called him Oduduwa and that’s how yoruba history started less than 1000 years ago

Now Ooni is trying to raise hands at an ethnic group that has existed before the Roman Empire . That’s right. Igbo has been around since over 3000 BC. We’re currently in 2023 AD. So thats about 5000 years till date.

Igbo civilization is older than the Nok civilization
A man can never be older than his ancestors.

Pardon the Ooni of Ife. I m a Yoruba woman who doesn't blv Igbos came out of Ife. About Ekaladerhan or whatever exiled Benin prince, I don't think he's Oduduwa. But if he is, no qualms. However, Yoruba culture has more influence on Edo or Benin culture.

People threw insults here and there.
Despite that ooni should be commended for upholding the history reminding us of the past to show us humanity is one.

What I learnt from the posts is the igbos in ife might be a section of igbos. Might not be all igbos living at that time.

Igbos ran away from ife because of incesant attacks from the enemy combats.
That was before oduduwa arrived. Thence the attacks from enemy were defeated and stabilized the town.
Oduduwa met oranmiyan and others in ife.

Oduduwa was not biological father of yoruba people, but symbolical father. He was a hero in the land.

i made similar comment up there.. He is talking about the ugbo people of ondo state and not igbos of SE.. Na media people nor hear wetin him talk well

lol. i have so much respect for this oni of ife, because i learnt he is a youth friendly king, who likes empowering the youths in his domain, but why is he speaking out of points, by trying to re-write history ?
why do they even allow him to marry plenty wives, because women like liquor can really make some men to mis-yarn ?
Oga oba, pls stop insulting us, because we know our history.

Ipob are slaves

Yorubas are Hausas slaves

Igbos have monuments and artefacts that outdates every kingdom in Nigeria

@gudugudumeje.

Its igbos of south east he talked about.

43Ronin:

yoruba is not even as old of beni talk more igbo.

That's not the point

Is there any family, where every member are mates?

Igbo? I don't think the monarch was right. No correlation at all between the two languages.

What ooni said is akin or comparable and consistent with reality on the ground.
You see today, igbos in south east have small land. Because you needed to fight and win land in those days.
Igbos were not organized enough to achieve that. They easily defeated in war.

Ethnic groups that achieved getting big land had kings or rulers that well organized their people. Igbos didnt have that.

That was why azikiwe was adamant on one nigeria, because the land igbos could not get through war, they could get it through one nigeria thing.

Ipob also following his step. They insist that south south must be in their imaginary biafra.
