@ OP,

Oduduwa landed with the head on Olumo rock resulting in massive brain damage which is evident in his off-springs up to this day.

Ileke; a perfect example.

Mr. Dayokanu,

Merry Xmas

Ignore that nonentity called igboboy
As you can tell, his comprehension is at the level of a third grader.

He once boasted that he scored 1600 on the new SAT. He is a slowpoke, with very low IQ.

The funny thing is that this Yoruba Oduduwa fable contradicts the Bini Oduduwa story.

The Binis believe that Oduduwa was a bini prince who escaped from detention to Yorubaland to become a king, while Yorubas believe he fell from the clouds.

So who's lying and who's telling the truth.

guy na bini dey tell truth nau, ah ah see question u dey ask? How many honest yorubas have you known in all your years on earth?

Besides the Bini story sounds more like reality unlike the fable yoruba story of odua coming down from heaven (who dash monkey banana abi odua na superman  grin )

Na so dem claim say na dem discover lagos after all na Bini Oba first get the area, Odua una too dey claim

Ok I forgot to add an additional question

When Oduduwa fell from the sky and became Yoruba king, did he come with human flesh for continuous consumption, or he began eating human carcass on arrival?

Note that Sefago, one of the few semi-rational Yoruba here agrees to the fact of Yoruba Oba and cannibalism in the quote below

Well the kings are- that's like common knowledge. But not the people- I can bring you 60 articles which claim the igbo people are cannibals, and thats what this topic is about. It some groups practiced cannibalism, and thats all I wanted to confirm, you can go back to your obssession with yoruba people.

Duh! what can be more natural than when kings (custodians of customs and traditions) eat human flesh? The acts of the kings (leadership) explains those of the masses (followership).

old boy can you stick to the point,
the thread started with how {oduduwa fall frm the sky}, to kings being custodians of culture of culture.
now we are in the realm of cannibalism.what next ? it will be ideal if our discussion is based solely on facts not moving like ship without rudder.

So what is factual or not factual?

That Oduduwa fell from the sky as I was taught in high school?
That Yoruba obas do not eat human flesh as reported by a Yoruba princess and confirmed by Sefago?
That Obas are not the custodians of customs amd traditions?

You are weak in this game and you better get off the kitchen as the heat is too much for you.

Clifford Orji chose Lagos to carry out his serial canibalism, does that make him an odua? If indeed Yorubas are frying human balls, it's got to be Biafran balls.
