May God grant you long life sir. We need to rewrite our history sir. Oduduwa was born and brought up in ile - Ife .

Thank you for your kind words. Blessings!

Yes ooo I was shock when the old man said in the other video that Lamurudu the father of Oodua was Oranfe son. That Oranmiyan was a grandson of Oranfe as well. People have been spreading fake news all this years

The man is only trying to give honour and superiority to his household ancestor. But you still need to do more findings from the people who have those ancestral shrines in ile ife and I'm sure most of these things will be clear to u. Because ifa confirmed oduduwa as someone sent from Olodumare to filled the earth with sand and spread it. And the chain ⛓️ which oduduwa used to descended from heaven is still in it shrine till today.

[@abiodunolawoyin9774]

He's saying the truth about oduduwa story , according to Ife history Obatala is baba Arugbo, older than all of them how come oranfe is older than Obatala

[@SwenziiOluwaseunfunmi]

That's not Oduduwa, God sent Obala

Go and read about ancient Egyptian god Ra. It's same Oranfe... though Europeans have corrupted the story a bit. But you can make connection with this historian narrative. They call him Sun god with power of fire.

[@theroyalhouseholdofolubuse9359]

If I may add this for record purpose to the on going discussion about Ọranfẹ. In 1898, about the third time that White European Christianity was again re-introduced to the City-State Kingdom of Ile-Ife, these people requested for some land to erect a building for their congregation in the name of their religion, my great grandfather, His Majesty the Deity King, Alayeluwa Ọba Adelẹkan Olubuse response was that "Ọranfẹ a binu", Baba Agba (Kabiyesi) said that they can only be allowed to worship their god in the virgin land called Iyekere-Igbo, Ile-Ifẹ in those days. This singular act alone tells how much Ọranfẹ is hold in the highest esteem by the entire Ootu people and most especially the Deity King Himself. Regular Signed, Olubuse III Sunday, October 20, 2024

Thank you for this record. Àgbà ò ní tán lórí ilẹ̀. Á jú ṣe o.

[@juliusjohnsonayodeji]

That Iyekere you mentioned is the origin of my town Iye-Ekiti in today's Ilejemeje Local Government in Ekiti State, it was changed from Iyekere to Iye-Ekiti after they became very big over a thousand years ago before they were affected by the war... And our own type of Ekiti dialect is the closest to Ife dialect, it a bit different from the general Ekiti dialect. They changed the name purposely because they were no longer small as the name denoted. The population should be running toward over 15,000 to 20,000 or even more.

Good job sir 👍

Thank you for the kind words.

My perspective on this video, as well as the other one, revolves around Oodua/Lamurudu. Take a look at the other video featuring the elderly man stating that Lamurudu, the father of Oodua, was born to Oranfe.... even Oranmiyan received the from-name from Oranfe. 💯

[@sijiomoniyi5823]

[@YinkaAiyelokunTV]

So what was the relationship between Oranfe and Oduduwa? Why is Oduduwa more pronounced in Yorubaland than Oranfe?

[@jideogundele680]

Yoruba history is complex. With this explantation, it is safe to conclude that Ora is the father of Yoruba race and not Oduduwa. We need a commission to truly capture our past. I salute your intervention,Sir.

[@Adewumi0801]

Exactly the point. I've always been of the opinion that Oduduwa was a "civilizer"of the Yoruba race not the progenitor. The only problem is that some Ifa corpus said Oduduwa was the founder bla bla bla, but I think those were taken too literally thereby causing confusion.

Obatala wasn't a person ,ala means earth and sky from igbo .but oba is a person who an ancestor of oduduwa

Oramfe bi Jeye, Jeye bi Oduduwa, Oduduwa bi Obamakin (aka Obalufon Ogbogbodinrin). The person you are referring to, Obatala is a contemporary of Oduduwa, who was mixed with Orisanla who is way older than Oduduwa. Orisanla and Obatala are two separate beings.

But sir, they descended not just from the hills. At least they came from somewhere. We don't have change or bend our history to make it acceptable or fit popular beliefs. A lot of history was excavated by Britain and moved out of Nigeria. What's in those records fit what we claimed that Orunmila, Oranfe and others Irunmoles descended. And the location is not even near or within modern yorubaland but in central Nigeria. That was thousands and thousands of years ago. Problem is that we aren't looking around for the history we lost. Oranfe in ancient Egypt is known as Ra, whom they also call Sun-God with power of fire. Though European egyptologists have added a lot of misconception to the narrative. Maybe you are talking about a human reincarnate of the earliest Oranfe.

[@efunkunleolalekan8304]

They cane from the Oke Ora hills that surrounded Ife

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

​​@@efunkunleolalekan8304Surely not. I believe that hill was just named after Ora. The location would be in the vicinity of the location of Ife Oodaye, the first Ife Dynasty in days of the Irunmoles. It's surely not modern Ife. It's in another part of Nigeria. We will know the day we care for the history we lost. Especially the ones the British Empire excavated and took out of Nigeria.

[@efunkunleolalekan8304]

@@ADE-of-LAGOS its the same place. Ife became smaller, but its that same location. The name change is as a result of change in leadership. There has been 3 dynasties. Carbon dating has shown that it is that same location

With all due respect for this gentleman,I disagree totally with his narrative account of our history ,Aramofe is one of the sixteen elders known as Odumerindinlogu,and Eji ogbe is their father,Irete is the mother,Aramofe was the fourth son in that line,they were mentioned in the book revelation in the Bible and were referred to as 24-elders and four living souls, everyone should check it, lastly non of them live up till 18 century,these people live their life's at the beginning of time.

Obviously, many of our forefathers are Annunakis based on old Sumerian text , but their names were different in Yoruba mythology. His narratives corroborate with other studies. We should not limit ourself to religions and the so called acclaim holy books.

[@awofeowolabi2065]

I quite agree with you on the links of these progenitors to the ANUNAKI. All the attributes ascribed to ORANFE are such as possessed by Anki and Enlil etc. Big kudos for this great work.

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

Glad that some yorubas are opening their eyes to these facts. It's too obvious. Orunmila was named Anki and Esu was named Enlil. Oyinbo don craze. But Oyinbo said that the Annunakis stories happened in Iraq or somewhere in middle-east.
