Too much ikpu is bad for your health. This Oba is high on ikpu water. Imagine nkogheri! This Oba should go back and read the story of Moremi very well and how she saved Ile ife from the Igbos. Igbo is the oldest tribe in Nigeria and one of the oldest in the world. Oba hie Isaa na Anya gi o 1 Like 1 Share |

No, this is on Ooni and we are not about to treat him like a baby who knows nothing. You are the ignorant one here tbh. In his position, he should weigh everything that comes out of his mouth and the delivery effect. When he grants interview or make a statement he has to make it clear that he was talking about Ugbo of Ondo state. He can't just make such a comment and let people fill in the gap for him. This is not his first time, he once gave the whole credit of Orisa Aje to igbos, so this Ooni may actually have a mental illness or alcohol problem and need an intervention. People who revere shameless character like him are the reason Yoruba leaders are the only ones disgracing their culture in Nigeria. MightySparrow: |

Igbo language is an evolved version of Yoruba language. Words like Onitsha ( a corruption of the word “orisa”) Enugun (a corruption of the word “Enu Ogun”) Agbani (A corruption of the word Agba eni), Obi ( which has the same meaning in Yoruba). There are several intonations in Igbo language that sound Yoruba and I peronally attest to this. The Igbo ukwu art and Ile Ife art were also made from the same material which is bronze. The story of Moremi made mention of the Igbo people who were later defeated and colonized. I know of the aborigine Igbos but there was a definitely a contact between these two tribes that predates colonial times. A highly revered historian A.O Olabunmi in his book “Rise and fall of the Yoruba race”made mention of this. |

Not all Yorubas even migrated from Ife. This thing of attaching humans origin to a single source has to stop. Humans don't originate from a single source. The Igbos are a vast collection of people who merged to form an ethnic nation. Same with the Yorubas, Urhobo, Edo etc. 2 Likes |

wowcatty:The "Ile Igbo" in Ife has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Ibo ethnicity majorly located in the east of River Niger. Ile Ife simply means "THE LAND IS WIDE" in Yoruba language, emphasizing the size of the land to accomodate all the native inhabitants of Ife. The Igalas (a linguistically Yoruboid group just like the Itsekiris) of Kogi are the ones that have more direct ancestral and genetic connections with Yorubas according to an interview the late Attah of Igala, Michael Ameh Oboni granted to Saturday Punch in 2017, entitled "I am the Only Attah of Igala With One Wife." Indigenous Igalas and Igala bloodlines also exist in Enugu, Delta, and Anambra States. So, this historic ancestral, cultural and linguistic relationship between the Yorubas and Igalas via the Kogi State and River Niger area in the last 700 years is majorly what the Ooni of Ife and other people MUST educate themselves on and emphasize on! Yorubas and Igalas share far more similarity in words than Yorubas do with Ibos. The Igala influences in Anambra and Enugu areas in the last 500 to 600 years is responsible for the introduction and usage of the few clear words of Yoruboid origin such as Ewure (Ewu), Okuta (Okwute), Enu (Onu), Egungun (Egwugwu), Medicine or Ogun (Ogwu), etc, in those areas. It is an open secret that the RED chieftaincy cap is of Igala origin and was first introduced by the Igala people into the Nsukka area from where it was copied or later spread years down the road to other areas in Iboland that had no cultural links with the Igala people. Mostly the Yorubas of Kwara and Kogi States also wear red chieftaincy caps alongside a large number of middlebelt ethnic groups, such as Igalas, Ebiras, Jukuns, Idomas, etc. There was NO split of autochtonous people to create those linguistic similarities and the so-called theory of Niger-Congo linguistic grouping has been discredited with more evidence of how Igala came into existence through a FUSION of people of different ethnic origins from Wukari, Yoruba, and Edoid, etc. Even the late Attah Michael Oboni of Igalaland in that 2017 Saturday Punch interview clearly said IFA divination is consulted before a new Attah is installed on the throne. The same IFA divination is done in all the many Yoruba kingdoms in Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo before an Oba is chosen for the ancestral throne of his kingdom. "Oboni" has to do with the female vagina or organ in Igala history. In Yoruba language "Obo" means exactly the same. Ogede, omi, Egungun, and more are similar words found in Yoruba and Igala due to a mixing of groups of people who migrated from about 700 years ago from the Jukun Wukari area (Taraba State) who then met and fused with a significant number of Yoruba and Edo people (around the Kogi and River Niger region) to form IGALA according to the factual interview the Attah of Igala, Michael Ameh Oboni granted Saturday Punch in 2017, which can still be read online. The Yorubas share boundaries with Igalas, and Agenebode in Edo State directly faces Idah in Kogi State across the River Niger. The local tribes now called Ibos are actually NOT of the same origin because the cultural history and ancestries of Northern and Southern parts of the Ibo area are very different based on the conversations of Ibos I have read over many years online and offline. 1 Share

The Yoruba and the Igbo share a lot more than similar mythic origins. They are the oldest inhabitants of the areas they live in. In other words, the Yoruba and the Igbo are indigenous to the geographical area called “Nigeria”. And it has also been argued that both groups are of a singular ancestry. The oldest stratum of religion in western and central Africa is Orisha religion, which mutually obligated humans and members of the extraordinary realm of divine and ancestral beings. There has been much argument about which tribe in Nigeria is the oldest. The Ijaws started inhabiting the Niger Delta region of what is now Nigeria as far back as 800 BCE, thus making them one of the world's most ancient peoples. They have existed as a distinct language and ethnic group for over 5000 years. |
