onuwaje:^^^^^^ @ onuwaje I thought number 1 is OKAN in Itsekiri? Has it been changed now to MEENE? The offshore oilfields off the coast of Ugborodo [otherwise called Escravos] are known as okan, meji, meta, meren oilfields and are operated by Chevron since the 1960's. This was indicated in the Atlas of Nigeria we used in schools in the late 1970s. You have a nice thread here. ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

dejavski: It doesn't matter if he is a direct ancestor or not. In yoruba culture a king is the father of the people In fact I have recently been informed that "Owa" (the title of many eastern yoruba kings) means Father... I don't know how true but we also see how "attah" means father in Igala (a people of very close common ancestry with Yoruba). Even though the attahs are of jukun origin Oduduwa is the father figure of all Yoruba, a revolutionary leader, a unifier, King of the source. Most towns and cities in yorubaland are founded by his sons or Princes who trace their lineage to his sons. Even itsekiri cannot deny his significance, from their Ijebu and Bini heritage they possess a connection to the man oduduwa even more than groups like Awori and Okun. 5 Likes 1 Share |
