I have always listened to my dad tell us the history of our people. From our origin and exit from Mecca during the war in which king Lam'Urudu was killed, while his son Oduduwa (Odu'Adua) had to escape.

He had always told us about the movements and journeying of Oduduwa and those who he was able to take along till they came to base in now Osun State. And how his son Akanbi had seven sons, namely:

Olowu of Owu
Onisabe of Sabe
Onipopo of Popo
Olubenin of Benin
Alaketu of Ketu
Orangun of Ila
Alaafin of Oyo.

Till today, he could tell us about the location of others except the Onisabe of Sabe and the Onipopo of Popo! Whose names we could not tell of till today and their whereabouts, despite wondering what happened to them and where they could be!

But as GOD would make it a reality, I logged on to nairaland.com this morning only to be met with the news of Benin Republic making decisions to join Nigeria! And each comment by two Nairalanders, ThatFairGuy and Ideadoctor smacked me to run a search on their comment!

And alas! The Onisabe of Sabe and the Onipopo of Popo turned out to be exactly as they commented! The Benin Republicans are our brothers O Yorubas!!! They are the (to us) lost tribes we cannot find out where they had been!

Then he remembered that his guardian back then do say he is going to purchase pepper from the Baribas which turns out to be in Benin Republic!

This is so amazing to me!
I know GOD has something in store for us by bringing us back to unity.
Glory to GOD!

Good move it will be.
Just that for now, the enjoyment they're getting is still obstructing their view.

It is only Yoruba leaders who has political ambitions that are trying to cement Nigeria together,believe me,if we are to follow mass opinion, Nigeria is broken, Nnamdi KANU understand this fact,that is why he us instigating Yoruba youths to rebel,but now, a lot of Yoruba politicians are looking forward to Oduduwa republic too, and this invitation by Benin republic must not be forfeited.

They also took Yorubas as slaves.

Yes. But even Nigerian Yorubas took themselves as slaves during the time of slave trade. Many were abducted and sold into slavery to the whites. Some from one village to the other. Ibadan was known to trade slaves.
I thank GOD the slave trade was abolished before I was born.
