Etrusen:The following clarification must be made prior to delving into the details of the indigenous Ife traditional accounts on the person of Oduduwa and his roots. Until deep into the 1900s, the general direction regarding Oduduwa’s roots was to look outside of Africa in the direction of the Middle-East — not merely “east” but Middle-East. This attitudes originally traces back to the early 1800s writings of Sultan Bello of Sokoto who regarded the the Yorubas as having originally come from Arabia. This attitude was then picked up by Rev. Samuel Johnson (via Captain Clapperton’s writings as collected from Sultan Bello) and vigorously expounded and popularized to become what is now known by historians as the Johnsonian hypothesis. In sum then, this Middle-Eastern direction originated from far away Hausaland — not from anywhere within the boundaries of Yorubaland, nor was it collected from Ife itself. “Fortunately, while much effort was being expended in following Johnson’s ideas about the beginnings of Yoruba history, there still existed all around us, in Ife and other parts of Yorubaland, an enormous wealth of traditions, as well as evidence in the Yoruba political system and surviving practices and rituals, about Oduduwa and his era. Ultimately, a different direction in the study of Yoruba history developed (as part of a more scientific study of African history in general) which focused on the indigenous evidence, as well as other source material, for the reconstruction of early Yoruba history. Consequent upon these efforts, we now stand able to lay aside, with respect, the Johnsonian hypothesis about the origins of Oduduwa and of all the Yoruba. All who study the history of Ife and of the Yoruba people are now generally agreed that the great political changes which began in Ife in about the tenth century were indigenous in their origin, in their unfolding and in their dramatis personae. It is on the soil of Yorubaland that Oduduwa was born and raised; it is only in that soil that his roots can be found. The traditional accounts of the development and growth of the political troubles in Ife in Oduduwa’s time are many and complicated. ... Nevertheless, by carefully sifting through the infinite variety of traditions and versions, we can put together the basic traditional narrative that follows.* Some small settlements had, for a long time, existed on hills beyond the immediate environs of the settlements in the Ife bowl. At some point in time, one of them moved down, staked claims to some land within the area and started to build a new settlement. Its leader was a man named Oduduwa. Before this group came, there was already an area that the old settlements generally regarded as land for strangers. It was into this area that the group now commonly represented in the traditions as the Oduduwa group moved. From the moment that this group arrived, it was unprepared to accept the claims of precedence by the older settlements; it was also not willing to have any dealings with the existing alliance of kings. All this led to the beginning of the conflicts between the Oduduwa group and some of the older settlements, and these conflict got worse over a long time.” Reference: S. Adebanji Akintoye, “A History of the Yoruba People”, Amalion Publishing, 2010, pp. 56-57. This account is noted by the author to have also been cited by (a) Adediran: “The Early Beginnings of the Ife State,” pp. 77-95 In I. A. Akinjogbin: The Cradle of a Race: Ife From the Beginning to 1980, Sunray Publications, 1992; as well as by (b) Obayemi: “The Phenomenon of Oduduwa in Ife History,” pp. 62-76 Also in Ibid, 1992. but benin history being on the east of ife always give you how he came to be but you people are always carried by population problem ( although lots claim they have nothing to do with oduduwa )What is “east”?? What is “population” ?? What are you replying to ?? Why are you angry ?? Lol. ![]() Benin is oduduwas origin no matter how you deny it because Benin is even more older than ife and is on the east wing of ife , these are my two reserve reasonsAgain, what is “east” ?? Lol. Again, Benin is not older than Ife, I have refuted that on page 2. This is your thread, you should at least be willing to read a lot of the post therein. Don’t be scared. Read! Again, I am not sure how many times it has to be re-written before you would come to terms with the real-world. Now listen again: The recent 1970s Benin idea that Oduduwa was from Benin has been debunked, time and time again by historical scholarship, as an incoherent fraud. Cheers!

Etrusen:I’d rather be a proud literate, than be you — a proud ignoramus. Lol! simple question when did oyo fall?Interesting! I could have sworn that your so-called “simple question” was originally as follows: “did the benin civil war stop Benin from being independent until 1897?” And to which I responded appropriately along the same line of independence as follows: “Lol. None of the two civil wars stopped either of them from being independent. Their respective independence only stopped with British take over.” In other words, my response was in line, direct, and relevant to the question — even though the question itself was of no relevance to anything being discussed. Now, to answer your fresh inconsequent question, the Oyo empire fell from its imperial height in circa 1835. But did the kingdom continue independently? Yes it did (although very, very weakened compared to what it used to be, and in a different location) until British takeover towards the end of the 1800s. Similarly, after Benin’s civil war of 1689-1721, did Benin remain at its (relatively lower to Oyo’s) imperial height prior to British take over? No! In fact, prior to the British take over of Benin in 1897, the following quotation shows the eyewitness testimony of Mr Cyril Punch — a British merchant who travels around the Yoruba country and Benin in the late-1880s and early-1890s: “All the rest of West Africa that I know is squalid. Squalor is just the one idea that strikes one. Benin in the old days was more than squalid. It was gruesome. What the exact influence of the place was, or rather what the cause was of the influence felt, I cannot say, but the fact remains that no one who went there in the old days came away without being impressed. ••• As a town, Benin was inconsiderable compared with places like Ibadan, Iseyhin, Shaki, Modakeke, and Abeokuta. There was no wealth, nor was there even power, except the power of the influence of fetish, and a sense of a spirit of a long past of atrocities, which if not supernatural, were at any rate unnatural to a degree which is indescribable. I remember the return of two of Miller Brothers’ men from a visit they paid to Benin after I had been there. They arrived at Guatun one evening, and showed plainly on their faces the mental strain that their visit had been to them.” Reference: Cyril Punch‘s Letters, c.1890; quoted in H. Ling Roth, 1903, p. vii. Having said that, it is important that I add that the circumstances and period (two things) of the respective civil wars of Oyo and Benin are in fact universes apart. The Oyo’s civil war was in the 1800s, while the Benin’s on the other hand was in the 1600s/1700s. The Oyo civil war was largely colored by religion; while the Benin‘s civil war had no such coloration. The Oyo civil war was closer to the period of British imperial agenda in the “Nigeria” region; the Benin civil war, on the other hand, was way over a century prior to British takeover. A fair consideration of this background thus leads one to the clear conclusion that comparing the date of Oyo’s fall to civil war with the date of Benin’s fall to British takeover is not merely as comparing apples and oranges; it is in fact a meaningless comparison.

gregyboy:Never happened. Where did you get this rubbish from ? When you say stuff like this, at least attempt to substantiate it. Oba Eweka II was raised by Oba Ovonramwen, the last independent emperor of Benin, when Oba Eweka 2 ascended the throne (1914) many people in the region (mostly the yoruba) were afraid he would make his father's empire rise again. So please prove your claim. I want to see how you are going to explain this rubbish. |

Etrusen: You will wait until chicken grows teeth. Tao doesn't like to discuss real history because she knows the Yoruba have nothing in comparison to Benin. She has already chickened out and run away from my direct challenge to her? I even offered her $1000 to provide eyewitness written historical accounts of Benin/Ife relationship earlier than 1800s. What she likes to do is sneak into a thread and start giving skewed citations that favoured her narrative. The truth is, Yoruba history started proper by the likes of Ajayi Crowder and S. Johnson in the late 1800s. These early Yoruba historian's works were heavily in favour of Oyo, they tried to make Oyo greater than it was. By 1930, after the British have unsuccessfully tried to change the Benin dynasty because of the 1897 massacre, they sort to bring all Western Nigeria Obas under their friend and more pliable ally, the Ooni of Ife. This was the reason for the first meeting of all Western Obas in 1937. Prior to 1937, there were no such meetings. Ooni's political position of leadership had no historical backing, it was just political. Nigeria got Independence in 1960 and the Western obas political creation collapsed, the Oba of Benin moved his people out of the West to form the mid-west in 1963. Superiority contest began between the Ooni and other Obas such as the Awujale of Ijebu and Alaafin of Oyo who saw themselves as more senior to the Ooni, the descendant of a shrine keeper in Ife according to the Yoruba historian, S. Johnson. Since the 1930s, people have been trying to push the Ife supremacy through the Oduduwa myths. Oduduwa was nothing but myth. In the myth, the Oba of Benin was supposed to be the most prominent heir to the Oduduwa dynasty through Oranmiyan, Alaafin of Oyo is supposed to be Oba of Benin junior brother and Ooni their chief priest, AKA shrine keeper. Today, the Awujale still doesn't subscribe to being Oduduwa lineage or being from Ife, the Oba of Lagos struggles to see the Ooni as his senior, he claims the Oba of Benin as his father. The current Alaafin never accepted the former Ooni as his senior, I don't know if his position has changed with the current Ooni. Historically, Nigeria really had two empires. The Benin empire, which lasted for about 500 years and the Sokoto caliphate which is controlling part of the north and Yoruba for over two hundred years now. 3 Likes |

This is why Benin/Ife relationship have problem. A Reconsideration of the Ife-Benin Relationship1 A. F. C. Ryder DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021853700005314 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2009 Extract The traditions now current among the Edo of Nigeria trace the origin of the Benin dynasty and the associated cire-perdue technique of brass-casting to Ife. Some of the information recorded by European visitors to Benin since the fifteenth century is not easily reconcilable with this tradition. [/b]Material evidence, especially that contained in the Benin bronzes, and the results of archaeological investigation have also raised difficulties. It is suggested that many conflicts in the evidence could be resolved by adopting a hypothesis which would ascribe a more northerly origin to the dynasty. [b]The Nupe-Igala area straddling the confluence of the Niger and Benue emerges as the key area in such a reconstruction of Benin dynastic affiliations. The Yoruba States would seem to be related to the same general complex, but the chronology and direction of dynastic movements still remain obscure, and the seemingly fixed points of reference become far less certain when placed in context. According the prevalent myths of Ooni of Ife before his 1930 political elevation. S. Johnson said in his book, The History of the Yorubas that the Ooni of Ife was a descendant of a mere shrine keeper, rather than real royalty (a myth which had actually been prevalent in other parts of Yorubaland even before Johnson wrote his book; the historian Robin Law cites other instances of this myth about the Ooni of Ife being some kind of shrine keeper or non-royalty existing in other parts of Yorubaland dating from before and after Johnson's book was published). The Yorubas are here to deceive and capitalize on the ignorance and gullibility of majority of their readers. if they think they have history, they should come out and lets debate it, 1 Like |

TAO11: Good that you are warning all your Yoruba folks on how to respond to the Benins because you know they are illiterate dullard. It's easy to throw mould on great Benin historical achievements and accomplishments when your tribe have nothing to showcase. The last time in April/May this year we engaged in this kind of debate, you were so beaten, you went on a long sabbatical, only to come back recently to reply to my comment. I am sure you will go back into another long hibernation after this debate because numerous teaching moments awaits you. What have we learned so far about Yoruba history. 1. I have cited Yoruba historical sources, S. Johnson, Law, etc. That confirmed Ooni as shrine keeper and no royal until 1930. 2. Oyo alleged greatness has been demystified by references provided of Alaafin of Oyo paying tributes to Benin, Alaafin of Oyo request of military assistance from the Oba of Benin to help put down his rebellious neighbours, the Fulani defeat of Oyo and annexation of Ilorin till date. 3. I made reference to the Awujale of Ijebu Ode rejection of Ife/Oduduwa lineage and rejection of Ooni of Ife supremacy. 4. I made reference to the Oba of Lagos claiming Oba of Benin as his historical father. 5. I provided Yoruba historical accounts and references of how Benin dominated eastern Yoruba. 6. Despite repeated requests, you haven't been able to give convincing reply to the origin of Oduduwa according to early Yoruba historical accounts. We are not interested in your later day revisionist fabrications. 7 Early Yoruba accounts of the origin of Oduduwa traces him to the middle east or from the sky and the Benin version have him from Benin.

As simple as this your question, it's very difficult for the Yoruba to answer because there is no unified Yoruba answer to it.
