Another Version Of Oduduwa As In Most African Cultures by jara: 10:44pm On Sep 02, 2018 |
I find this interesting from another thread and may be educative on the journey of Oduduwa and Ife from the North to the Rain Forest. It may also shed light on why Yoruba (per Baba Amed) were prominent in Timbuktu's University when they were all lumped together and taken as slave to Morocco. If you remember Baba Amed complained bitterly that Muslims should not be taken as slaves on the Mossi, Yoruba etc that stuck to their own beliefs should be take as slaves.

All these so called versions are new claims that have no place in the tradition of the people. In Ife however, the traditions of the major families point to Oke-ora as the original home of Oduduwa 1 Like |

Even if Oduduwa came from Oke Ora, he had to come from somewhere. It does not negate the fact that he sojourn all over Africa and beyond. After all Sango is more popular beyond than within Nigerians. It does not make a difference if it was the ODUDUWA the first, second or third. As long as we know the same Oduduwa could not have lived for centuries. Ijaw have him as Adumu. |

jara:Out of all these big bang theories, one is true. As far as I am concerned, I know that the God ,who created the man Olofin,whom is controversially known even by Ijaws, as Adumu will laugh at all. Do you know Adimula isnt a name but a title ? Visit the oriki of Ooni Ogunwusi and read it throughly to understand its tentative meaning if you can decipher.. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

jara:Whether he sojourned all over africa or not is not an issue currently, what people need to learn is that Oke-ora is the origin of oduduwa as his origin is currently the subject of controversy That Ijaw Adumu story doesnt add up, it is more of a product of online miscreants, there is absolutely no source to that story |

Until people usurp Oduduwa from Ife, there is no alarm. But if their story reinforce Ife origin as the Ijaw did pass through Ife, it can only be interpreted as one family with different branches from the same Iroko trees. The story is not built on line, it has been researched since the days of Ikoli and Awolowo. Compare that to those who claim to be the father of Oduduwa in the 12th century! macof: |

jara:I dont know how much of what is happening you have been following but there are attempts to claim oduduwa from Ife. What are the names of these researchers? I hope you are aware that Ijaw nation is not homogenous? there are Edoid groups who are part of the Ijaw nation today and even the Ijoid Ijaws do not a have common tradition of origin. So learn to question where ever or who ever you are getting your history from |

I do get your point. I think the Edo have taught us a lesson. Even Prof. Ajaiyi waited too long to respond and when he did, he was complacent. Ife will forever be the home of Oduduwa. Lagos will forever be the land of Yoruba. Ore was almost gone until the spirit of Ilorin was invoked. Never again will Yoruba sit still under the excuse of accommodation and tolerance and allow what is ours to be usurped by others. We are no American Indians. Nevertheless, those seeking affiliation with Yoruba will always relate to Oduduwa. Not only in Nigeria but worldwide. macof: |
