Oguta Igbos Are One Of The Lukumi Igbo Aborigines Of Ile Ife- Igbodefender.com by Nobody: 4:11am On May 24, 2017
Like the Owu descendants of Obatala, who was the Osere Igbo of the halcyon Ile Ife fame the Oguta people of Imo State in today’s Igbo land have a festival called Owu Festival. Another name for it is the Okoshi Festival.  This is one of the festivals the Owu in today’s Yoruba Land also have.

The Oguta People have Osere title, which is one of the ancient titles Obatala had. Also, the Oguta People of Igbo Land have the Iyasare title, while the Ugbo People of today’s Yoruba Land (who are also aborigines of Ile Ife) have the Yasere title. These ‘coincidences’ cannot be dismissed as mere coincidences.

There is a deep link somewhere.Obatala is called the Sky Father in Yoruba history, while the Oguta Igbo people of today’s Igbo Land call their King Eze-Igwe, which means King of the Sky. The Oguta People have the same Eze Chima tradition of the Anioma People of Delta and Rivers. And we have said here that Eze Chima was a Lukumi Prince of Ile Ife, who was also titular Prince of Benin during the Ogiso times.

Add to this mix the recent statement that the Olowu of Owu made: to the effect that there are Owu Communities in today’s Igbo Land, and we can see that it is not a mystery: the Oguta People are one of the Igbo aborigines of Ile Ife also known as the mythical Lukumi, whose ancient tongue is only spoken in Aniocha in Igbo Land.

Igwe of Onitsha has just confirmed what Igbodefender.com has been saying: Igbos were the aborigines of Ile Ife. I disagree with the part where he said Olugbo is not one of the aborigines. The Ugbo are in fact one of the aborigines. Ooni of Ife is the guardian of all Ife indegienes today, whether aboriginal (Oluyare) or children of Oduduwa The Great.

The Obi said he read a book that convinced him. https://www.amazon.com/History-Igbo-World-Ancient-Civilization-ebook/dp/B01K4AIUO8

He didn't confirm it. He said he saw it in a book. Probably the book you authored. So congratulations to you; you have a high-profile near-convert. smiley smiley

Mr. Igbodefender, Can you explain what Olukumi means in Igbo language? I know you are seeing enough evidences that show that some present Igbos migrated from what is now Yorubaland, but instead, you decided to twist history and write complete opposite of what happened.

If you cannot breakdown and explain what Lukumi means in Igbo language, then no one should take you serious.

How many times will that meaning be explained? Please do a local search. It has been explained in one of our posts.

We have a dream. That one day the Yoruba man including slurryeye2 will come out and eat akpu and onugbu soup without prejudice, while the Igbo man including you Probz, and GodIsWise will come out and eat amala and ewedu without prejudice.

That day will be a great day for Southern Nigerian cultural exchange and unity.

Trust me bro, I will eat akpu not only with ofe Onugbo but also with Ofe Oha grin...I enjoyed my stay in Enugu during my service year. I ate a lot of local delicacies like Okpa, Abacha, Igba gbu oka, Ugba etc. I'm very open minded to other's foods and culture.

That being said, I'm still expecting your response to Igbo meaning of Lukumi
Re: Oguta Igbos Are One Of The Lukumi Igbo Aborigines Of Ile Ife- Igbodefender.com by Nobody: 9:37pm On May 26, 2017
Thanks for your interest in Igbo cuisine. We have very nutritious soups like ofe oha, ofe onugbu, ofe akwu. If you eat nni ji na ofe nsala (pounded yam and nsala soup), you are sure to leak your fingers and ask for more.

Now as for your question on the meaning of Lukumi in Igbo, it has been answered in this book ( just $9.99. I know you can easily afford it). That and many questions you haven't yet thought about on this matter are answered there.
