Thought some people were protesting. Seriously, Nigerians should stop working against the nation. No matter how many tribes we break into, there will be diversity. Even the so called Biafra they are clamouring for is comprised of diverse tribes and tongues. 1 Like |

Re: Alaafin Of Oyo Or Sijuade Of Ife by YasmiNija : 7:30am On Dec 02 , 2009 I agree more with Olumota and somewhat with saxywale. Below is my own findings regarding our Yoruba heritage: 1. 2 schools of thoughts as to the origin of our people , although both agree to a common factor - Lamurudu; and to that Yorubas came out of Arabia - Either from Mecca: Lamurudu having 3 sons (Oduduwa, Gogobiri & Kukawa, the later 2 being founders of the Hausa tribes) - Or from Yarba people who were early Arabian settlers between Egypt and Abyssina; and migrating inwards within Africa, passing through Sudan. Of course, there are other romanticized versions of Oduduwa climbing down a rope from heaven to found ALL humanity – black or white. Of course we all realise by now this is incorrect. 2[b]. Lineage of Yoruba people:[/b] - Lamurudu begat Oduduwa (+ 2 others, see above) - Oduduwa begat an only child/son, Okanbi (aka Idekoseroake) - Okanbi begat 7 children who can now be rightly referred to as the fathers of the 7 main Yoruba tribes, as follows (Owu, Alaketu, Benin, Orangun, Onisabe, Olupopo & Oranyan). The Sabe & Popo people are now located in Benin Republic & Togo. Contrary to saxywale, Oranyan WAS the last of the 7 children of Oduduwa. He only became prominent due to his intelligence, as history tells us. 3. How Oranyan (aka Odede) became important (the last shall be the first, etc, ): Oduduwa settled in Ile-Ife after migrating from Arabia/Egypt. He lived and raised his family there, following the spiritual rites of worship with idols passed on from his grandfather. Hence Ile-Ife, at the time, became known as the capital of Yorubaland. Upon his death he bequit his wealth, clothes, etc to his children according to birth. When it came to Oranyan, nothing was left except land. He got the land and he devised to charge rent from his elder brothers in order for them to remain on his (Ile-Ife) land. Hence the saying “Alaafin lo ni le”. More on this later. 4. The separation of Oranyan from Ile-Ife : As history goes, Oranyan decided to return to Mecca/Arabia to avenge his grandfather, Oduduwa. He set out from Ile-Ife. Before he left, he entrusted the royal treasures, charms, traditions and spiritual rites to his trusted servant Adimu. Because Ile-Ife was the seat of early Yoruba spiritual worship and the location of the initial gods passed down from Lamurudu, whoever ruled it was thought to be the leader of the Yoruba. Oranyan set out on the journey with his brothers, reaching to the mouth of the River Niger. A fight ensured between them which caused them to separate. Hence, the separation (yet relative proximity) of the Benins, Sabe, Popo, etc, , to their current day locations. Oranyan on advice from the King of Ibaiba, followed a snake until it stopped at a place called Oyo Ajaka (proof of which can be found in ancient Yarba maps, from English explorers Clapperton and the Landers). Oranyan made his abode here in Oyo Ajaka. Oranyan remained ruler of Ile-Ife from the distance, often communicating with his servant Adimu regarding rites and worship and whenever he required something from the (his) treasury. Adimu, on the other, in the absence of his master Oranyan, had gained importance in Ile-Ife as he was constantly consulted for spiritual matters across all the Yorubas. One can fairly say that Adimu the high priest is the ancestor of all the Olorisas to the Kings across Yorubaland. Therefore, the role of Adimu is not a tribal one but an overall Yoruba nation one. Oranyan died in Oyo, but he has a grave in Ile-Ife, as is the usual Yoruba tradition to send back the remains or parts of the deceased to his ancestral land. 5. The current day Yoruba tribes of Nigeria : (Note the phrase “…of Nigeria”, as there are other Yoruba tribes across Africa in Sierra Leone, Benin, Togo, and some parts of Ghana). The current day Yorubas of Nigeria are divided into 4 descendants of Oranyan – a) Ekun Otun, found west of Oyo, to the right of River Ogun all the way to Iberekodo, comprising Saki, Iseyin, Eruwa, etc… These descendants are called the Ibarapas in general. b) Ekun Osi, found east of Oyo, comprising Kihisi, Igboho, Ilorin, Irawo, Iwere, Ogbomoso, the Igbonas, etc… These descendants are generally referred to as the proper Yoruba tribes, being closely linked to settlement of Oranyan, and maintaining the purity of the language and rites as performed in his days. c) Ibolo, comprising Ede, Iresa, Ofa, Oyan, Okuku, Ikirun, Osogbo, Ilobu, Ede, Ejigbo, etc… d) Epo, comprising Iwo, Ilora, Fiditi, Awe, Ago Oja, and much more recenty Ibadan, Ijaye and the Egbas So, what about the other people we call yorubas today in Nigeria – the Ijeshas, the Ondos, Ekitis, Ijebus, Aworis, etc…? Well this is a discussion for another day. In conclusion, one can make the following summation: - Oduduwa settled in Ile-Ife and became (as it were) the first Ooni of Ile-Ife. - The Alaafins (of Oyo) are true and direct descendants of Oduduwa. For the kings with direct lineage to Oduduwa, this is important for deciding kingship. However, it is important to note that in some other yoruba traditions, kings do not have to be direct descendants by lineage, as in the case of Ile-Ife, who allowed Oduduwa (a foreigner) become King over them. - After the departure of Oranyan to Oyo, he continued his royal reign in Oyo, becoming the Alaafin of Oyo as well as the Ooni of Ile-Ife at the same point in history, and quite rightly so, being the grandchild of Oduduwa. - Upon the death of Oranyan in Oyo, the decision had to be made regarding the impractically of having a “long distance king” ruling from Oyo. So, a custodian was appointed to preside over Ile-Ife, and who better than the descendants of Adimu, who were already well respected at the time being the Olorisas, and keepers of the rituals, treasury and oratory of the gods. And anyway the Ile-Ife people were never known to be big on hereditary kingship – whoever was fit and able was welcome to lead. - Thus, it is my submission that the Oonis of Ile-Ife have been the descendants of Adimu the Olorisas instead of being direct descendant of Oduduwa. The Oonis became viewed as brothers to the Oranyan descendants only because such is the Yoruba tradition (family are the people we grow up with in the same household – including servants). - Therefore, the Alaafins of Oyo are the paramount kings and rulers of the yorubas. However, the Oonis of Ile-Ife (the “chosen’ ancestral home of Oduduwa) are also important in Yoruba culture being the custodians of all things spiritual and traditional, in particular the gods and ceremonial artifacts. Who is therefore number 1? I humbly submit that they are both very important depending on how it is considered. For direct lineage to Oduduwa (the Alaafin); for custodial priviledges to Yoruba gods, traditions and artifacts (the Ooni). The British (as it was in their own tradition), recognized lineage as meaning supremacy and legitimacy, preferring to sign treaties with the Alaafin. However, as is true even today, money talks, and the custodian of the treasury wields enormous power too. He could decide to holdup any traditional rights of passage which are important to the yorubas, hence the reason why other Yoruba kings are usually linked to the Ooni because they require from him access to certain traditional paraphernalia. |

The baboons and monkeys are jumping because their dullard president was given a potrait with an Igbo attire. Biafra is not Igbo, he can receive a chieftain title in Enugu if he pleases. Why did Buhari have to cry assassination to the Indian security agency? He should have acted like a brave soldier as he claim and allow the permit to be given to IPOB India so he can feel the greatest humiliation of his life.
