Ọmọ Oódua

The oral history of the Yoruba describes an origin myth, which tells of God lowering a chain at Ile-Ife, down which came Oduduwa, the ancestor of all people, bringing with him a c**k, some earth, and a palm kernel. The earth was thrown into the water, the c**k scratched it to become land, and the kernel grew into a tree with sixteen limbs, representing the original sixteen kingdoms. The

empire of Oyo arose at the end of the 15th century aided by Portuguese guns. Expansion of the kingdom is associated with the acquisition of the horse. At the end of the 18th century civil war broke out at Oyo, the rebels called for assistance to the Fulani, but the latter ended up conquering all of Oyo by the 1830s. The Fulani invasion pushed many Yoruba to the south where the towns of Ibadan and Abeokuta were founded. In the late 1880s, with the help of a British mediator, a treaty was signed between the various warring factions. Yorubaland was officially colonized by the British in 1901, but a system of indirect rule was established that mimicked the structure of Yoruba governance. Oduduwa, Olofin Adimula, oba and founder of the Yoruba people, phonetically written by his people as Odùduwà and sometimes contracted as Odudua or Oòdua, is generally held among the Yoruba to be the ancestor of the crowned Yoruba kings. The Yoruba people live on the west coast of Africa in Nigeria and can also be found in the eastern Republic of Benin and Togo because the majority of the slaves brought to the Americans were from West Africa. Yoruba descendants can also be found in Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, and the United States. There are also many Yorubas currently living in Europe, particularly Britain, since Nigeria was once a British colony. The Yorubas are one of the largest cultural groups in Africa. The Yorubas have been living in advanced urban kingdoms for more than 1,500 years. They created a strong economy through farming, trading, and art production. Their outstanding and unique artistic traditions include woodcarving, sculpture, metal work, textiles, and beadwork. Yoruba in Ọyọ State.
Ọyọ State is the largest Yoruba speaking state in terms of population and landmass, the state derived its name from old Ọyọ Empire which is represented by the present Ọyọ-Alaafin. The state is divided into three senatorial districts: Ọyọ-Alaafin/Ogbomọsọ, Oke-Ogun and Ibadan/Ibarapa with thirty-three local governments, and its administrative headquarters located at Ibadan.


Ọyọ in the Beginning
Linguistically, Ọyọ State has more ancient cities with varied historical origin than any Yoruba speaking states, these towns and villages are about the oldest in Yoruba land. From records, some kingdoms existed side-by-side with Ọyọ Empire – which was founded by Ọranmiyan (Ọranyan), a prominent son of Oduduwa around 13th or 14th century. According to history, two defunct Ọyọ metropolitan townships had existed at different times they were: Ọyọ-Ile or (Katunga), Ọyọ-Igboho; the present Ọyọ-Alaafin (Agọ-Ọja) was established in 1830s, when Ọyọ Igboho was destroyed by the Fulani army. HISTORY
Several legends concerning the origin and ancestry of Oduduwa abound in Yoruba and Benin mythology. The Yorubas believe he is the father of the Yorubas and progenitor of all Yoruba Oba's and the Oba of Benin. The Bini believe that he is a Benin prince called EKALADERHAN who was banished by his father, the Ogiso of Benin. His name, the Binis claim, is derived from 'Idoduwa", a Bini word meaning fortune's path, symbolizing the painful exile from his ancestral home. In support of this, they claim, Oduduwa's son Oranmiyan later returned to Benin to rule the Empire around 1,000 AD. Oduduwa is believed to have had several sons (16 in number) who later became powerful traditional rulers of Yoruba land, most notably Alafin of Oyo, Oni of Ife, Oragun of Ila, Owa of Ilesha, Alake of Abeokuta and Osemawe of Ondo. Yoruba tradition holds that Oduduwa fled from Mecca to Ile-Ife, bringing with him the Ifa religion which was under persecution in Mecca. He established it firmly in Ile-Ife and founded the Ogboni cult to protect the ancient customs and institutions of his people. The Oduduwa shrine is still worshipped today in Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba culture.

Rather than ganging up against Dr. Reuben Abati, let us accept the fact that the Southeast is the part of Nigeria most closed to outsiders.

Even amongst themselves, there is discrimination. Ebonyi people have repeatedly complained of difficulty renting properties in Anambra. Fact-check me. There have been multiple cases of Ebonyi people showing evidence of how their money was returned to them by Anambra and Enugu landlords when it was discovered that they were from Ebonyi.

When President Tinubu appointed Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla as the Chief of Naval Staff, he was accused of being a non-Igbo speaking Igbo by people from his region.

Over 25 Igbos have been elected into high office in Lagos and the Southwest, including Oghene Egoh, Rita Orji, Tony Nwoolu, and many others. Even President Tinubu, whom many Obidients love to insult, appointed Igbos into his cabinet as Commissioner when he was Governor. Ben Akabueze was one of them.

ỌBALUAYE - The movie has been showing on YouTube for days now and I’ve only had time to watch it last midnight. And I must confess, it is a revealing and enlightening watch for me. The movie produced by Ifasooto Ifawumi Adeyemo gives deep insight into Yoruba culture and a genuine understanding of the being and divinity of Ọbalúayé oníwọ̀wọ́ àdo(dotted with small gourds) — highlighting the praises, customs, costumes and significance of this global renowned Irúnmọ̀lẹ̀ (primordial being) of the Yoruba worldview.

The praise poetry rendition done by Araba Awo Ifayẹmi Ẹlẹbuibọn (Araba of Osogbo) in the opening scene was one of the highlights of the movie for me — The praises were powerfully rendered and sonically satisfying with details to the divinity of Ọbaluaye as a healing power.

The harsh reality is that Bitcoin isn’t for everyone, at least not yet.Do you remember the first time that you heard about Bitcoin? It’s likely you had one of three reactions. You either flat-out ignored it, called it a Ponzi scheme, or even considered it to be some fake internet money that would never amount to anything. This is the reaction that most people have upon first hearing about Bitcoin. In fact, almost no one becomes interested in Bitcoin or can even understand its value or appeal the first time that they hear about it.

There is a popular theory in the Bitcoin market that the transformation required for a no-coiner to go from knowing absolutely nothing about Bitcoin to hearing about it for the first time, to finally investing in it takes at least 3 interactions with it. Either hearing about it from a friend or family member, seeing it on the news, or even having a life experience that forces them to learn about it.

Kemi Badenoch's living hell - FFK"I don't want this country to turn into the one I ran away from"- Kemi Badenoch MP.

The Right Honorable Kemi Badenoch MP, former Minister of Women and Equalities of the United Kingdom, and the newly-elected leader of the British Conservative Party deserves to be tarred and feathered for the sort of things she says about Nigeria.

Apart from her insulting categorisations about Northern Nigerian Muslims, which I shall come to later in this contribution, this woman had the impudence to describe Nigeria, her country of origin, as a "living hell", a place where she had to "walk one mile to get running water" and a country where "lizards run out of the taps!"

She constantly launches heavy salvos against the Nigerian people and our ruling elites including politicians, legislators, members of the Judiciary, and those that are in the private sector calling us thieves and labeling us as being corrupt and inept.

The person who sells a short measure of pap is not as smart as the person who weighs it but refuses to buy, he who weighs it is not as smart as he who greets by saying you will make sales from afar, the person who just greeted without buying is as wise as the one who said my mother did not send me to buy pap.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu was in South Africa in June 2024 for the second full-term swearing-in ceremony of Cyril Ramaphosa. Social media posts sharing videos from the event claimed Ramaphosa ignored Tinubu as he was greeting other dignitaries — a mark, they argued, of Nigeria’s waning reputation.

However, in 2021, everything went downhill. He suffered losses and has been fighting to survive. In 2022, his insurance was removed for no reason. All his trucks are parked and not in use.

The Obidient Agenda Against the Oodua (Yoruba) Race

5th columnists are the agents, gatekeepers, permanent puppet of the WEST (Anglozionist empire) used for decades to torment the area called Nigeria. During the last election, we saw the halving of the 5th columnist into the 6th Obidient in other words Zikist idealogy.
