googi:
This idea of Oduduwa's children going back to areas they were familiar with only brings into focus the different locations of Ife from the Northern area where they met, inter-married before moving further South for safety.

Hausa history claimed Yoruba was one of the children of their historical father. Even if that is false, it showed some familiarity or awareness of one another. Not to mention Tapa, Borgu and others.

Another point that must be taken into consideration is the role of River Niger and Benue that linked to the sea in Lagos. I remember reading about Aromire and Oloko families as great sailors that fared beyond Nigeria and Africa on the sea.

If you guys take the waterway into consideration instead of the land alone, it may shed light about Oduduwa knowledge of the sea, river and Olokun.

Ofcourse yes, their crew knew Omì-Odo, Okun, Ìbù omì.It is amazing.

we are from ido-osun in osun state, a small town sandwiched btw osogbo and Ede..
we are an extension of the Enukoko royal family, our own extension is the sapoyoroo branch.
we are a royal Family and the current king of ido-osun is from the enukokos(sapoyooro branch)
I know ido-osun and ile-ife has a really close and historical connection, infact I know every new oni of ile-ife has rites to perform in ido-osun so the oni and oludo are usually close.
I know we are descendants of obalufon because that's what we are told from childhood, and we are also told the story of obalufon and how he migrated from ile-ife besides the whole family worship it, alot still go back to ido-osun during the right time of the year to do so,and when I was young, I still remembered my grandma being a priestess of obalufon, being worshipped mainly in white clothes..

I'm still pretty young though, but that's as far as I can remember,so I hope to learn more from you about obalufon.

Did Yoruba borrowed the word Ìrìn from Iron or coincidence? Both mean the same and sound alike.

Sap0 & Obalufon, Obalufon the 3rd is greeting you o!

glad to know sir.. ido-osuns are actually also from ife since that's where our father obalufon migrated from..so we are ifes even though we are seen as part of Oyos now due to the towns that surrounded us..

You don't fully understand me.
1) Border clashes like the Ife-Modakeke crisis occur all over the World. Kashmir is a classical illustration of this.

2) Internecine /intratribal civil wars like Ibadan Vs Ijaiye war also occur worldwide.
The Greek city-state of Sparta gruesomely massacred the citizens of Athens, German Kingdoms of Austria, Prussia and Bavaria ruthlessly fought one another.

The bitter civil wars between Banu Hashem and Banu Saud in The Hijaz eventually led to the establishment of the Kingdoms of Jordan &Iraq in the 1920s and Saudi Arabia in 1932.

Rivalries between Kano and Hadejia Emirates has led to the deaths of some many Hausa-Fulani peoples.

All of these happened not because some peoples were considered non-indigenes but happened as political struggles between various dynasties/power brokers...They were essentially struggles for power, relevance and supremacy.

0balufonlll:


- Ife & Modakeke dragged each other decades before colonialists came.

- Oyo completely mauled Egba. Egba & Oyo hated each other. It took colonialists to bring Egba under the ‘Yoruba’ tag. It was bad that the first newspaper was tagged ‘Iwe Irohin Yoruba ati Egba’.

- Ijebu & Egba fought several wars & expelled intenerant citizens in respective towns.

- Ibadan & Ijebu had goo relations for awhile but nonetheless, Ijebu settlement in Ibadan was a place Oyo element of Ibadan kept an eye on.

- Ilesa invaded Ife several times. It took the Modakeke to expel them. Nonetheless, Ilesa founded compounds in Ife (like other strangers quarters) are known & treated as such in Ife.

- Awori & Egba tore into each other acgreat deal when the need arose.

- Egba & Egbado ripped one another apart wheb they needed to.

Examples abound a lot but I’ll pause. There was tribalism & it was not bationalists who planted it. Sorry.




Every capitalist political economy is based on wealth sharing. A good number of Yoruba towns were capitalist states with the monarch being the wealth sharer.




Identity has been argued to be easily instrumental or constructed in wealth/resource struggles. Nonetheless, as long as wealth/resource pursuit predate modern Naija state, tribalism then long existed before 1914 or 1960.

Emeka and eweka are similar name and the way igbo say amen is speleld similar

aljharem:


tell me a word that is similar to edo and igbo ?

even onitsha aka anambra is a yoruba town

north east anmbra is part of igala town

the edos had cloths you never until you got incontact with the hausa,yoruba and edos.

so tell me the similarity,

Interesting.

Adesua actually means a child born around the marriage festivities in Ekiti dialect......Ua means wedding ceremony

tpia5:
adesua is short for adesuwa which itself is a dialectal variant of adesewa.

crown is beauty, or there is beauty in the crown.

when you see anything with aiye in it, that is yoruba.

After doing some more research,here is what i found.

Edo is significantly closer to Yorubas than they're to Igbos... here it's a genetic proof . Yoruba and esan (esan are edoid speakers)used in this research are very very closely related and both significantly distant from Igbos and very related to each other.
