Mv dear brother, eka ale lati ilu Jamani. I was led to your channel, I will like us to communicate , because I've been searching for your generation, especially those, who have passion for history, our histories. Rejoice with me, because the Most High Olodumare has led us to hidden histories of our ancestors. This country , am living in, played a major role in our destruction, with the Romans, Greeks, Ashkenazi Jews, Arabs, Americans and their European cohorts. Our histories hundreds of millions of so called artifacts are collecting dusts in basements of Museums, Libraries, Hospitals all over western Europe, especially in england, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium. They destroyed us more than any can think or envision or imagine. Your video speaks many volumes of lost but found histories. Kudos. 4:19 very interesting bruh, lets talk. Please get in touch. Have a good night.

The grammatical errors need amending. It should be ''Where do Yorubas, Oduduwa originate from?''

The benin are yorubas from ile ife.

@@Oba7this is false

Oduduwa is the son of Ogiso owodo from Edo land

Right answer 💯✅

Nonsense

@@FreedomBiafra exactly what i am saying

Fallacy and lies, with no empirical evidence

Any proof?

Benin with fake history. Yorubas enslaved Igodomigodo and installed Yoruba man there till today. Stop ur lies pls.

Oduduwa isn't even an Egyptian name.

@@ayodaramola Google and KZfaq on documentaries linking Benin, Yoruba etc to Egypt. An undisputed fact is that the Egyptian aborigines were ALL Blacks and the first Pharaohs were ALL Blacks. The settling and invasion by others (Arabs, Syrians, Greeks, Romans, etc) is the reason for the mix today. But, X-ray, and other scientific evaluations of the early Pharaohs show that they were 100% Blacks. Also, just for your knowledge, Black Africans were the originators of dynasties around the world, including Asia (the Chinese, Japanese, etc), Europe (the UK etc), South and North America (the Incas etc), and so on ie anywhere you have pyramids.

Arabian are shemite for their ancestor is shem the son of Noah. The shemite look alike for they are called olive skin or yellow race people. If Oduduwa is an Arabian the his children would not be different from the Arab today.

Then how were Joseph Mary ,and Jesus able to hide in Egypt

Lol Ogiso is from benin city which is their father

@@oluyinkaadefisan2186 you said ife has been in existence 500bc..y question is why did the benin's not come to ife for a king because that year the land have no king after the last king died without a son...

There’s nothing like ife empire and you that is arguing it shows that you’ve not been to ife just reading fake KZfaq and reading. Yoruba has it that oduduwa was a foreigner not from okeora 😅😂😂 and till today only the benins bear that oduduwa as names. And again which language did the binis used in communicate with oduduwa 😅, stop arguing and accept the reality. Benin are not dragging anything with the Yoruba but the history has to b told properly and Yoruba did not come to existence till amalgamation, the foreigner only knows about the Benins in west Africa till recently everyone started cooking lies. After the amalgamation they assign ajayi crowder to teach the language for oyo that’s why most of the people speak Yoruba and Igbo to the east even part of edo, delta and the anambra still Igbo but they knew that roots same with many parts that u call Yoruba nation today but they know their roots

​@@oluyinkaadefisan2186 Why are you manufacturing stories to support a false reality, when that is unnecessary? The binis have always had a strict military/governmental system, which was exported to Ile-ife and then to Oyo via Oduduwa. The people of Ile-ife already existed, but they weren't as organised bureaucratically. Like many other forest communities around the Niger. Even till date you find out insignia of government and authority in many "Yoruba" palaces, even recently the Ooni has started wearing the round neck coral bead, which is a distinctive Benin ornament.

So unfortunate whoever own media or have big mouth to justify their point always win nowadays. You are free to pass whatever you believe about your people to your future generation and I will continue to pass whatever my ancestors told me to my next generation end of story!

I know about the kush and canaan history from my Dad. Please do have more information

Shamefull for some person think he can hide truth and you can bribe person but you can not bribe GOD and he has made it the way wanted it to been so stop shame that Oduduwa came from Benin...

Thanks for joining us 😊

Yeah, I like the way he is not doing gragra about the topic

I hope you know that the word Ado in yoruba land refers to the Edo (Benin), and that there was an ancient stool of the Ogiso kingship long (at least by 27 Ogisos) before Oduduwa who was the last Ogiso??

You've not seen comments of Benins that doesn't know there history.

@@Ayo-kr4kfBut the same Yorubas claim ododuwa came from somewhere to their land but hearing he is from Benin is a pain in your ass but you accepted he is from Egypt or from the sky. Lol. Black man black sense

@@Ayo-kr4kf Who cares about your opinion?

He introduced IFA DIVINATION to Yoruba on which language? And BENIN not speaking Yoruba language,, make unah stop this lies and propaganda

@@designsvisioneer9910bring fact that he introduced a language and not just religion

There is only the Benin kingdom, there is no record of Benin empire because the influence of Benin was not felt anywhere apart from its immediate environment. Oyo empire is a different case, it ruled a large part of Yoruba, Benin Republic, Togo, and even Ghana. It's high time we stopped calling a small kingdom an empire

You were right before you said Oyo kingdom, Yoruba is simply an ethnolinguistic group that was spoken in the areas of Togo, Benin and Nigeria. But historically speaking the Yoruba or proto Yoruba originated from the confluence river of modern day Kogi before migrating and further diversification. There was never a singular Yoruba entity until the 18th and 19th century

I won't also call ibo and egbas tribes as well, as I don't really like the Connantations of the word.

…and finally, a fellow yoruba agrees with me. Thank you for your comment

You just said the whole truth.

Most yorubas just prefer to listen to only one source of information instead of listening to both source of information and evidence discovered through tedious findings. The yoruba will always claim the benin kingdom is part of them but evidence keep disputing that claim.

Do you even watch the video or you mean to reply another comment and not the video? Please only comment on video you know it's content and stop spouting your words of wisdom.

Nigeria is the home of Israel House of Joseph the ones who have the Egyptian mother. That's why people further south have big nyash. Nigerians are ephraim and his brother

Hmmm try to watch the video all over again you will see where Oba of benin were addressing. From there i answered days of old. Oduduwa send his first son(Oromiyan) to benin(give birth to a son) and he later return to Ibadan and start the Alafin of oyo. Take it or leave it Edos are the superio being here. Yoruba are from Edo kingdom.

@felix Days of old doesn't know the question you're answering or maybe you don't mean to refer to the channel and i also don't think you understand the video and saw all part of it.

@@Daysofold you are getting it wrong, oduduwa is Izoduwa who exiled to Yoruba land( mind you Edo kingship is hereditary via first sons if oduduwa wasn’t bini him or his son can’t be king in Benin. ODUDUWA ( EKALADERAN) is a Benin crown prince that escaped execution in Benin kingdom, that adopted the IZUDOWA which the Yoruba corrupted to ODUDUWA

I suspect Yoruba are the extinct nork tribes who started the art of crafts

The link to the full speech can be found in the description. I think I added something that said so at a side of the screen in the video.

@@Daysofold Thanks. The oba of benin shouldn't be using the name Oduduwa. He should use the name his ancestors use. I think Benin has a name. Is bit confusing now. Till today Muslims still call David Dawud im Arabic.

Yoruba is a tonal language, the Egyptian language isn't. So when you see these lists of so called similar words that should tell you it's false. Yoruba doesn't work like English where one letter has one sound. It all depends on the tone. you can have one word, but depending on the tone you give it that one spelling can have multiple meanings that are completely different.

🤣 everyone with there own theory/researchers

@@Daysofold No lets be careful and not obstuficate things. What I've presented is not ny theory. Instead of mocking it why not go through the books and as well get access to jstor and research yourself where the mecca hypothesis comes from?? I see youre doing a good job promoting our culture. Mocking good informatio like this is only insulting. When we link ourselves to Egypt or mecca we reduce ourselves and our civilization. Also in terms of the heaven origin. It's not only oduduwa that comes from heaven. So this is a not a matter of everyone's hypothesis. When we look at it careful it's easy to see the source of this misconceptions. All deities are from heaven and have a human historical settlement they are from. No archaeological or scientific evidence any yoruba person is from Egypt or the middle East. In fact whats been found is that igbo and yoruba people and edo etc were once on people existing around the Niger-Benue River Confluence before separation and dispersal all this based on linguistics and some archaeological findings. The source of the mecca Egypt migration is linked to sultan Bello of sokoto and was later adopted by samuel johnson a yoruba repatriated former slave who wrote it clearly where he got the information from. This was later attributed to oduduwa alone as an origin story from him. Go to jstor, read thoss books I outlined. Do deeper research don't just take what we see and hear easily around us and then obstuficate everything. There's a logical objective analysis of everything Let's tell the right stories my brother.

Does the name Oduduwa sound Arabic or Egyptian in the ears? The Yoruba elders know his origin but deliberately refuse to own up. Let the ruling houses of Ife and Oyo come out to counter what the Oba of Benin said about the origin of Oduduwa.

@@ulebegorakhere2519 You guys keep repeating this fallacy and asking for what has been debunked to be debunked. Does oduduwa sound benin too you as well. Some how the benin assume that some questions don't apply to them because you're trying to do cultural theft and turn things on its head. Hence you say oduduwa is some corruption which is blatantly false. You can't be in benin and be making assertions for ife. And the benin stories have been debunks severally. The ooni has never mentioned anyone like ekaladerhan or izoduwa existed in ife. The narrative has always been that oduduwa came from heaven to a place around ife like every other deified hero of the time and some of his descendants which includes oranmiyan was sent to found benin and benin earlier tradiotons confirm this. The ooni released a publication that "benin remained part of the ever expanding yoruba(Ife) kingdom" also our academic historians like professor banji akitoye, akinwunmi ogundiran have written books, peer reviewed to clarify certain conspiracies. I'll explain in depth in my next post and you can also read my earlier posts in this thread

@@ulebegorakhere2519 I will start with ekaladerhan/izoduwa fiction. It was never known to benin until 1970s when chief omoregie stated in a publication that ekaladerhan went to ife and became oranmiyan to the people of ife. Ekaladerhans story as written by benin historian egharevba earlier in 1930s and also collected in the 1890s stated he died in ughatan(I have proof for all this just ask me so you can read😁). Now that same ekaladerhan/izoduwa became oranmiyan and when oba erediauwa was to write his book, he wrote that ekaladerhan was now oduduwa father of oranmiyan. It was obvious that because of politics of superiority and uniqueness, what all have always known to be that ornamiyan from ife founded benin which egharevba wrote and which a lot of europeans collected from benin itself was subverted and changed in the 1970s. Now to Oduduwa. Oduduwa is absolutely not a corruption, you can't just make assertions that are untrue. Oduduwa means odu to da uwa (the source or repository of existence). Moreover in benin, ugie oduduwa is celebrated and known not ugie izoduwa or ugie ekaladerhan. According to oral tradiotons he's from oke ora Hill a settlement just outside of ife. He cane to ife and fought of obatala and united ife into a kingdom. No tradition in ife has oduduwa from mecca or from benin. The mecca hypothesis was as a result of sultan Bello of sokoto who gave middle eastern origins to a lot of ethnic groups around the river Niger. This was later attributed to oduduwa the patriarch of all yoruba kingdoms and ife kingdom and popularized in academia. Note that egyptian/middle eastern theories of origin for people and/ kings was also popular in ancient times for many african kingdoms and peoples, Benin was not also left out as egharevba had though the benin came from Egypt to ife also. Now, About the heaven hypothesis all heroes of ife at the time were deified as irunmoles who came from heaven. That can be said about the ogisos as well who came from heaven as well. It's a myth to honor them after death moreover all humans are from heaven(orun) in yoruba spirituality as well as other African spirituality. I'm sure all the other yoruba heroes and deities aren't from benin as well right? Exactly that's how poor that logic is. Traditions state his human existence (oduduwa) began at oke ora hill and then to ife where he wrestled power and united ife from a confederacy to one of the first kingdoms in the area and this system was later exported via many prince's and hunters when ife started expanding this includes the oranmiyan who was sent to restore order and found the new benin kingdom with the same monarchial system from ife into the area... The rest of the story is well known ile ubinu, eweka(owomika)

So You've heard what all Benin people have claim in there entire life Abi? You should only talk about what you've seen/heard.

@@Daysofold your video according to you is where yoruba came from... So dont mention benin. Because there's no time benin said yoruba came from them, not even once. The claim is oduduwa came from idu. 2) oduduwa met people in ife when he came, how can he found a people he met??? Go read of ugbo, etc. They dont call themselves oduduwa children. 3) the word yoruba didn't even exist in the time of oduduwa. 4) all these claim of Egypt and mecca are completely bias, because it began during colonization by Abrahamic religion. Indigenous people of ife, nok idu, ibibio, nri predate ancient arabs, sumerians, Israel, Egypt etc. Africa is the cradle of humanity. When you do videos be open for critic... Cause this video is a mess from start. "benin never said yoruba came from them" ps

Um there were black people in mecca too

answ to your question a king is born not made. in the benin culture , a king birth name is differ from that which he ascend the throne so yes do his princely name been ikaladeran his crown is oduduwa that becomes his recognised name. Benins have kingship that pre dates obatala and oduduwa. my question is why would a people choose an alian king when they have royal blue bloods dating well over BC.

Yea exactly! Examining the theories of where Yorubas might have came from that's the point of the video. I'm a KZfaqr not a researcher and the video points in that direction. 3 theories were examined.

@mujoco: (1) oduduwa:= “the repository which brings forth rich existence”. (2) oduduwa:= “the contender who tussled for prosperity” ----- This is one of the most powerful instance of a Yorùbá homonymic name which is not only accurate in its meanings but also at the same time accurate in its matching of the Yoruba personages to which the name applies, i.e. the irúnmọlẹ̀ and the ọba. The meaning (1) may be found in S. Johnson, 143. The meaning (2) is also literal, but unlike in (1), “odu” is not treated as one word “odu”, but as 2 separate words, viz. “o” and “du”.

Lol it called yariba by the Fulani nupe people

Hmmmm! This is another angle again. There are rumors people migrated from ife to Nri kingdom. The ancient sculpture excavated from both regions looks similar.

…also, why do you claim Oduduwa was not a real person? Any reason for saying that?

@@Daysofold it may surprise you but I am just being honest. I've been reading about ancient Egypt and other ancient civilisations. I also am reading about anthropology and what the origin of religion is. I also try a lot to dissect the origin of most yoruba words. I also keep reading about the history of igbos, Edo, yoruba , Igala, itshekiri and all other related groups. And I keep trying to understand, if not reconstruct what the original yoruboid language was, before splitting up into dialects and languages. After pondering all of the above, I've been able to see that; oral traditions are not to be taken wholeheartedly, they contain exaggerations and legends. Take for instance the name for god of iron, Ogun. The name could have come from an old yoruboid word, Ògúnná. Ògúnná Is either a red hot charcoal or redhot metal. How it became a name for a spirit of metals can be explained to the concept of animism ( the belief that everything has life, the origin of every religion). Since Ogunna( Ogun for short) was a useful tool for mostly blacksmiths, it became to be worshipped by them. Soon Ogun must have become personalised, giving human attributes to this spirit made it a complete deity. The earliest blacksmiths of iremogun in modern day Ekiti must have been the first to initiate the worship of Ogun. Soon, Ogun became a god not for blacksmiths alone but also for hunters, farmers, carvers, and all other craftsmen who used metals in their professions. Soon, stories and legends that personalised Ogun, came into being, and that's how we have Ogun,god of iron. My first suspicion about Ife being related to the Igbo of eastern Nigeria came when I first saw similarities between Ife and Igboukwu arts. Do you know that Igboukwu is earlier than Ife? Then I thought, what if it actually influenced Ife art? If you have seen Ife and Igboukwu arts, you would have noticed facial markings on both. After

@@Daysofold Nri is actually senior to Ife art. Igboukwu dated 8th/9th century Ife dated 11th-15th centuries....

@@opeyemiolawoore4388 Stop disguising igbo man. So you're here again spreading your igbo falsehood 😂😂. Please stop this nonsense that has no backing but your theory. Can people stop abusing and demanding yoruba history. Ife bronzes and igbo ukwu art are about the same the same time. The person who published an older date has corrected his mistake. The art works itself weren't tested but an older material. Ife bronzes are far superior to igbo ukwu or even benin so your theory is incorrect and stop linking similarities in words as meaning origin. And I noticed whenever you see similarities then it's yoruba from somewhere why not igbo from yoruba. I believe I corrected you elsewhere igbos and yorubas were one people between 3000-4000 years ago but since then there's been a split. There's no evidence of any recent migration or exchange from 1000 years ago till date. There's absolutely no connection there. Ife art is completely different from igbo ukwu. Stop disguising as an igbo person to be a culture vulture with your nonsensical baseless claims and find your roots elsewhere
