Just Between me and my yoruba friends i say this; The Yorubas are simply Igbos residing across the naija.
You know i said it first over seven years ago, and later repeated it few years back but you never took me serious, then i prayed after including such stories/facts to my first book titled: "Odinala the divine principles of creation" that a voice may arise as a back up to that which i had written in that book. Then the Ooni of ife came and became that voice. not until then you began to give a second look and a second thought to that already proclaimed rubbish that Okechukwu has been saying.
My regrets in saying things like this or making this type of revelations is that after this now, some igbo rifrafs will quickly copy this to their numerous hidden so called groups, not to enlighten their followers but rather to confuse them even more. And even begin to brag of the knowledge that they know nothing about. Everybody will suddenly become masters, and this nonsensical egocentric attitude and superiority complex will become the oder of the day. But still it won't deter me from passing the message across when the time is due.
The yorubas are amongst the 13 species of Ndi Gbo/Igbo corresponding to the 13 Zodiac signs and not 12, just as the bloody Caucasian liars said it is, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 calendar months, 12 Tribes of israel... bla bla bla!!!. That is where their vibrations stopped as the Caucasian 6 ether being. For Their is indeed the thirteenth Zodiac called the serpent holder(Man), The centre but thats a story for another day. It is actually the symbols of the 13 ancient families/species of the Original human race aligning with each given constellations or zodiac. Now come back we are not treating zodiac signs ok..? �😁😂😁 . So the yorubas are one of such species of ndi gbo who migrated across the big river (River Niger), your migration is in tune with the respective zodiac for indeed it is the sun (The east/Ala-Igbo) that regulates all zodiacs. For instance when the sun passes a given region, it is called Capricorn. When it is in a given region it is called leo, etc and Ala igbo is the over all east of the planet earth. Harboring the zero degree longitude and latitude. Lol..!! I don carry you enter geography oo 😂😁😂😂. Dont mind me. Now lets go back to the subject matter.
The picture bellow is that of a man whom you the Yorubas refer to as Oduduwa. In your tales, he came after the first messenger whom you refer to as Obatala. This very Obatala was/is the man whom you the yorubas refer to in your ancient tales as the Father and founder of the igbo nation. ( If i lie make una correct me o) in one of such your ancient tales you said obatala went back to heaven after he must have failed in the duty assigned to him, while in some other tale you said he settled, married and died later. But in both of your incomplete tales you never told the world how Obatala founded and fathered the Igbo nation. Or does it mean the the igbo land was actually the heaven where the said Oduduwa and obatala came from..? When did the Obatala founded and fathered the igbo nation, was it before he was sent to earth(The yoruba land) by the said Olodumare or after..?, those questions remained unanswered till date in your ancient tales and histories. But the most interesting thing is that till date, the yoruba still somehow see the Obatala as the father of the Gods in the yoruba chamber of Gods, and also the father and founder of the Igbo nation (If i lie make una tell me o).
if i begin now to ask my yoruba friends to tell me the meanings of their ancient names such as Oduduwa, Obatala, Ile-ife, Oramiran, igbo as seen in Ijebu igbo, ej'Igbo etc, you will find out that those names do not actually make complete sense in yoruba language, reasons being that those names were never yoruba names by origin, but rather are igbo names.
OBATALA:
lets start from the first "Obatala", yes you are partially right that Obatala was the founder of Igbo nation, partially because it was never the igbo that the Obatala founded but rather the igbo system of Governance. Obatala was never a person, but rather a Chamber/Council, more like the Igbo house of Commons, or the present day senate. It is actually pronounced OBA-NTO-ALA, oba meaning chamber or house, Nto-ala meaning background or foundation. For it was the chamber of the Oba nto ala that was responsible for laying foundational structure for the leadership of the ancient civilizations. It was instituted by Eri the son of Uga. Every member of such chamber is known as Oba just as the present ones are known as senators. After the presidency comes the senate, and so was it that after the Eri the leader comes the Obas. The oyibos actually copied our system. So my dear yoruba friends, Be it Oba Oramiran/Oramiyan, The one you call Oduduwa and the rest of them were all members of that council. They were all sent across the globe by Eri to go and lay the foundational leadership structure for newer civilizations. They did not fall from the sky like your immediate past ancestors made you to believe. They were all igbo men and their names gat real meanings in igbo language. But if you insist that they actually fell from heaven, then the igboland becomes your heaven, for that is indeed where they were sent from.
ORAMIRAN/ORAMIYAN
Oramiran/Oramiyan, rightfully pronounced as Ora-Ama-Iro, which means that the masses knows no enmity, in other words that if you as a person decides to hold grudges for the masses, you are simply wasting your time. Its more like the market does not know that one person did not open his or her shop today. This man was the first Oba, the leader of the first delegates of Oba-nto-ala who were sent to the yoruba land by Eri, he did not descend from any heaven unless the yorubas then saw the igbo land as their heaven on earth..
now to the man of the moment Whom the yorubas refer to as the ODUDUWA.
ODUDUWA
The picture bellow is that of the man whom the yorubas refer to as Oduduwa. But in reality his name Is/was never Oduduwa but rather ILE-IFE. you know when the king, The Ooni of ife said it in a clear statement that it was the igbos who founded the Ile-Ife, many yorubas went mad and accuse their king of drinking too much alcohol. Some said he has actually gone mad. But in reality the king was actually telling his people the Simple truth. Though some uninformed Longer throat igbo Igwes took his statement as leverage To turn ile ifa to become their jerusalem where they stupidly go to beg money from ooni. Thats why i somehow respect Igwe Chibe Uzzimba, just as i am a swagalicious Eze mmuo, he is indeed a swagaliscious Eze obodo 😂😁😂😀, i know he cant descend that low.
ILE-IFE, Meaning "the potency of light" when pronounced rightly from the original Igbo spelling and pronunciation IRE-IFE/IRE-IHE. for indeed the man in question was a descendant of Aro, he is from the fire nation, The people of the sun. The rooster is their symbol, and the crown on his head represents the rays of the sun. He is indeed the son of the sun/light (IFE/IHE) and he brought the IFE ODUDUWA(The light of leadership) to the yoruba land and the land were he settled was named after him: ILE-IFE. The full story is right there in that my first book: Odinala the divine principles of creation. But i just wanna set the records straight here.
ODUDUWA
Oduduwa was never a name of any person, but rather was the term for a given leadership pattern and structure which was adopted by the council of Oba nto ala. Oduduwa simply means leadership, or rather "leadership of the world" when pronounced rightly from its original Igbo context and spellings: ODUDU-UWA. for it was this system of governance which was chosen by the council over the dictatorship or monarchical System where one man becomes the God of the people. In the system of Oduduwa, there is a priest, a king, a council or chamber And then other lower officials, just as we currently have in yoruba land today. Ooni being the king, Alaafin being the priest, and other Obas and Alake being the Councils or chambers. and then the lower officials that work with them all. That is Odudu uwa.
I remained my humble self Okechukwu Okoro , The son of Amarabuihe, Ogbaezi and Ibezimako.
The Gods are wise
Ututu oma nu umu igbo, and Eka aro to my yoruba friends.
