Its a hoax, a con, a lie, a complexed fabrication.

Not real.

The current Israelis are a mixture of European tribes that claim to be Jews, they are all descendants of Europe from all around the world.

Its con job, the reason you wont find many black men/women in Isreal.

Because Isreal was created in the 1900(s) to help sell their fake and twisted stories to the world.



How can Isreal be created in the midst of Arabs just like that?

..He met some people on ground in Ife and at the same time there were already people on ground in Ijesha Ekiti Egba etc doing their thing.They are not in anyway related .
Ifa traditional religion had been on ground for centuries before Oduduwa arrived
Yes their are Ifa myths of creation and a person falling from the sky but that person was not Oduduwa thought the story has been corrupted to include him

Here i agree with the spirit of your post.

100% agree with your view point above.

However, Oduduwa is a unifying figure no doubt, said to have hailed from the East of Ife. That piece of information has always been misconscrued out of proportion to a greater extent.

Yet its safer and more productive to accept the Emperor 's overall mission, UNITY.

Soon as we've achieved unity and reigns supreme and unfettered, then, the intellectual nuance will actually take its course.

Sometimes, especially in these times, one has to put aside conflicting issues in pursuit for unity.

Unity is hard and elusive. With luck one could stumble upon unity no doubt, however, sometimes one has to earn, search for, maintain, sustain our unity.

It seems you don't know much about world history after the destruction of the world during the days of Noah.

The new world began in Asia, not Africa.

Amujale:


The Noah flood story is a falsity. There are numerous flood stories, i personally know of at least 25 different other ones. Most are only aware of the one the Jews saved for them.

Once those type of historical events are put into the proper context, it becomes clear that they shed further light on the climatic conditions that helped lay down the foundation of the continents that later became poplulated outside of Africa.

For instance, going through all the contents in the various flood stories mentioned above, under No condtion did Africa experience those versions.

I am not going to discuss flood stories exclusive to the African continent here; would instead concentrate on further a field.

Hopoi Myth flood stories.

Comox people – Legend of Queneesh

Anishinaabe - Turtle Island flood myth

Inuit, flood myth 

Nisqually - Myth Flood story

Mesoamerican flood myth.

Urcocari flood myth

Unu Pachakuti -Inca flood myth.

Sumerian - Myth flood stories

Gilgamesh - Myth flood stories

Yu the Great

Nuwa

e.t.c



Eskimo (Orowignarak, Alaska) - "A great inundation, together with an earthquake, swept the land so rapidly that only a few people escaped in their skin canoes to the tops of the highest mountains.

The truth is that apart from during the so called "big bang" and the same point in time; and or leading up to "Creation" real history has never ever made record of any instance whatsover, whereby there"s a globsl corroboration to suggest flood consumed the entire globe.

All of the foreigners and places outside the continent that reported their stories to us, either experienced these AWESOME phenomenon on their own or was contained within their geographical region.

2 corrections: Oduduwa was born, bred in Ilorumu quarters in ile-ife. He never migrated from anywhere whatsoevr. All those myth and falsehoods were islamo-christianic attempts at dominating the history of the Ife pple.
Secondly, Sango ruled only in Oyo-ile. The only place he could have lived apart from Oyo was in Nupeland because his mother was from there.
In addition, the "Yorubas" wherever mentioned in history books were solely the "Oyo" pple. The rest of the south western pple of the present day Nigeria bore there native collective tribe names e.g. Ijebu, ijesa, Ife, egba, ekiti, ibolo etc. Thank you

I had noted that Shango Oba-Koso born in Ife, once ruled as king over the Nubian Kush Kingdom, and you challenged that assertion although your challenge was simply based on word-of-mouth without citing any authority or adducing any evidence, proof or reason.

However, the evidence which I promised to return with is as cited in one of the works of the foremost African historian and anthropologist on pre-colonial black African history, that is, Professor Cheikh Anta Diop and the classic is entitled “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth Or Reality”

On pages 148 to 149 of this classic, Professor Cheikh Anta Diop cited Pédrals' reference to Morié that Shango once ruled as king over the Nubians, the Kush Kingdom to be precise.

Talking about Shango on page 148, Professor Cheikh Anta Diop writes:

“… King Shango, Iakouta, or Khevioso (depending on the dialect) … worshipped all over the Slave Coast (Guinea) under different names, as the god of thunder and destruction, was, according to stories related by the Blacks, a king of Kush …”

The foregoing description in the words of Professor Anta Diop settles the identity of the person in question, that is, we are sure we are dealing, here, with our very own Shango, the god of thunder.

The testimony of Morié on this subject (that Shango once ruled as king over the Kush kingdom) was said by Pédrals to have been stumbled upon in an ancient Coptic text which was translated from the original Arabic and published (actually outside of Africa) in far-away Paris-France in the year 1666.

Professor Cheikh Anta Diop’s reference to Pédrals on the subject is as follows:

As Morié puts it, this Obba-Kouso was born at Ife, a locality which our author is completely unacquainted. Adorned with the title, “first-born of the Supreme God,” he resulted from the incestuous love of Orougan, god of the south, and Yemadja, mother of Orougan, herself a sister of Agandjou, god of Space. Chango-Obba-Kouso’s brothers are Dada, god of nature, and Ogoun, god of hunters and blacksmiths. He has three wives: Oya, Osoun, and Oba. It is quite evident that Orougan and Yemadja resemble the incestuous couple Amon (Kham) and Mout. Their son, moreover, has the surname “King of Kush” …”

[Pédrals, pp. 30-31]

It is important to note that Professor Cheikh Anta Diop, just as Pédrals himself, emphasized that Morié, “our author”, has absolutely no idea of where Ife (the city whose name Morié takes from the Coptic text) is located.

In light of the foregoing striking parallel between “Obba-Kouso” -- an epithet of Shango which the “Yorubas” have known for centuries, and this epithet of Shango, i.e. “King of Kush”, which has just been shown above to be discovered in the translation of the Coptic text; one can safely conclude that the “Yorubas” obviously have been using the phrase “King of Kush” (i.e. Oba-Koso or sometimes Olu-Koso) as an epithet of Shango for centuries without even realizing it, yet hypothesizing different inaccurate and contradictory meanings for the epithet. Thanks to the ancient Arabic text of the Copts.




** Having cited and said all the foregoing, it is important in the spirit of fairness to you and in the spirit of completeness that I clarify to you that Shango-Alaafin Oyo, son of Oranmiyan and the Nupe lady, Torosi is not one and the same person as Shango, the Yoruba god of thunder.

The man who became admitted into the Yoruba pantheon as the god of thunder (because of his many great exploits just as other man-divinities like Orunmila, Obatala, Oduduwa, et al.) had already flourished centuries before even Oranmiyan himself was born.

In other words, the "Yorubas" had a god of thunder centuries before Shango-Alaafin Oyo, or even his father Oranmiyan, was born. Shango Alaafin Oyo became named after this man because this son of Oranmiyan was thought to possess similar temperament as this great man who lingers in the memory of the "Yorubas".

Shango-the god of thunder; mentioned in the Coptic text discussed earlier as: born in Ife , son of “Orougan” (i.e. Ọ̀ràngún) and “Yemadja” (Yemọja), and a king of Kush (Obba Kouso); is clearly a different and distinct person from Shango-Alaafin Oyo, son of Oranmiyan and Torosi, and born in Oyo. The later was simply named after this Yoruba god of thunder.

At this point, I have to admit that a lot of the histories of the Yorubas have been mixed up, conflated, or sometimes lost from us, but thanks to the very few people who are helping to set the records straight in recent times.

Below is a first-hand practical statement, from a notable worshipper and devotee of Shango -- Mr. Sangosakin Ajala, which further corroborates and clarifies my position that Shango Alaafin Oyo, born in Oyo, son of Oranmiyan and Torosi is not one and the same person as Shango-the Yoruba god of thunder who once ruled the Nubian kingdom of Kush according to the Coptic text.

Refer particularly to time 2:43 to time 4:15 of the video below to notice the distinction between the two persons, even though Mr. Sangosakin Ajala’s testimony also evidently retains element of mythology as expected, but he, nonetheless, acknowledges the distinction, i.e., the fact that Shango-Alaafin Oyo was only named after a previous person who originally bears the name. This previous person is clearly the description in the Coptic text mentioned earlier, given his different birth place and different parents:

Oduduwa is not the source of Yoruba, source has nothing to do with Oduduwa who met people in Ile Ife. And the there’s no such thing as “crown general” in Yorubaland, what we have is generalissimo which is Aareonakakanfo. Ooni is ABORE which is Orisa’s attendant, priest, custodian or butler, he’s not even an Oba at all. But money politics, betrayal, lack of respect for ancient traditions and sense of injustice in an average Yoruba is what brought us to this point. The Ooni stool is cursed because Abore’’s shrine is now called Ooni’s palace and the confusion has been from one Ooni to another, or is it not Ooni Sijuade the Judas who collected 30 pieces of silver on Abiola? And the new Ooni is on his way to even be worse than that. Slaves have a way of showing themselves.
Sanchez01:

This is wrong. 'The Source VS The seat of government'. The crown General in Yorubaland is none other than the Ooni. If I know this as a non-Yoruba then you surely need to question the understanding of your own history.

This was the same thing that plunged the late Sijuwade and Aláàfin into a cold war for years.

Anyways, I'm sure the Aláàfin knows that the seat of origin is much more powerful than the seat of government. The Aláàfin bowed to the present Oonirisa in a function sometimes ago and that in itself speaks volume.

Something must be really wrong with some of you to believe Alaafin can bow to his inferior. Alaafin can’t bow to anyone, you are only seeing what you wanted to see.

The same way people like you make it seem Oduduwa was the founder of Ile Ife, Oranmiyan was an Oba in Oyo just as he was in Bini, he founded none of them.

In ancient times, ABORE were seen as pastors of today and mouthpieces of the gods and that’s what gave Oduduwa some sort of royalty and then his offsprings, he had no crown but his offsprings did have crowns outside Ile Ife. Ooni is NOT an Oba title but an Orisa priest.
TAO11:


You mean that the Alaafin of Oyo bows to the Ooni only because the Ooni his 40 and he is 90? Okay I have heard you. grin grin

In a manner similar to his bowing to the superior authority of the Ooni of Ife, he also bows to the President and his wife because they control more power and authority than he does.

What is too difficult for you to understand in that?



Just Some Quick Questions For You:

1.) Who is the founder of Oyo kingdom according to whatever version of history you read?

2.) Where did this founder of Oyo kingdom hail from?

3.) And who is his father?

Hahaha!

You're such an ignorant crook by presenting a circular argument wherein you attempted to prove that the Alaafin is the Baba, by first cunningly inherently assuming what you intended to prove, and then pretending to have proven it.

Also you didn't answer any of my questions anywhere. grin

My first question to you was:

"Who was the founder of Oyo Kingdom ...?".

No where did I mention any Oranmiyan or Oduduwa in my question. Why then are you been defensive already?

Your answer to my simple question was that:

Oranmiyan was a king in Oyo and Bini, and Oduduwa didn't found Ife.

Please how is this, by any stretch of the imagination, supposed to be an answer to any of the questions I asked you? grin grin

Moreover, your crooked self had noted two days ago that the reason why the Alaafin appears bowing his head, body, and soul in that picture is because he is older and weaker and he needs to appear as bowing his head, body, and soul down in order to be able to shake hands with the younger Ooni. Laughable excuse! grin grin

Today, on seeing how the Alaafin stood upright while shaking hands with someone else (i.e. Obasanjo), you quickly shifted your hypothesis from the earlier one, that he has to appear as bowing his head, body and soul when shaking hands with people, to a newer hypothesis that he is simply trying to support himself with the Ooni while trying to stand up from a seat or while trying to get down from a stage. Another laughable excuse. grin grin

Oga pick one hustle. But even if you do, none of your two contradictory hustle make any sense because the event was a public one and the media crews who captured the actual context already reported it appropriately in headlines as follows: UNCOMMON! Alaafin Of Oyo Bows To Ooni Of Ife. See heading of the image below.

And the palace of the Alaafin till this moment makes no attempt at any point in time to refute or debunk this media report, unlike how the palace often does when it disagrees with any public information concerning the monarch or Yorubas generally, as we have seen lately in the issues surrounding the pronouncement of the Ooni of Ife on the "historical relationship" between the Yorubas and the Igbos.

Also, do not forget to answer my three questions point by point. I'm still waiting and the questions remain:

1.) Who is the founder of Oyo kingdom according to whatever version of history you read?

2.) Where did this founder of Oyo kingdom hail from?

3.) And who is his father?

Lastly, making a claim is not the same thing as providing evidence to substantiate the claim. Those are two seperate things. Anyone can make any claim, but until it is substantiated it is no more than an empty claim.

So, until you provide evidence to substantiate your incoherent Abore - Oduduwa claim, your claim is as good as fiction grin grin

Alaafin was the true emperor.

Unity is all about concession and compromise.

For instance, i 100% agree with the notion that says Obatala creates humanity in Ife. And i accept the Emperor Oduduwa message of unity.

Lets put our differences aside in pursuit of unity.

Its time to stand in togetherness as one. There is the need to move towrds a unifying position.

We need to be in the pursuit of unity at every given opportunity.

Alaafin is also Emperor during the Oyo Empire no doubt.

However, the discussion here is about us accepting the unifying message in Oduduwa. Its around about now that we pull together in the same progressive direction.

Unity first, by all means possible.
