Thank you for this documentary that’s the origin

[@JustLifeTravels]

No problem! The Yoruba origin story is so interesting and was so great to learn!

[@yemi-dprince7993]

We urge the sons and daughters of the Yoruba land to embrace the wisdom of leasing lands in the Yoruba land instead of selling them, for the sake of the future generation. This is the par for the course around the world. Thank you for the thrilling video of the most aesthetic palace in the Garden of Love.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Glad you enjoyed and I hope foreign countries and businesses aren’t buying the resources of Yoruba land to make themselves richer and not help the people of the land

[@emillycardoso8935]

Wow! I really love the effort you guys put in your videos. Never give up hard-work pays

[@JustLifeTravels]

Thank you! We really enjoyed Nigeria

[@patricksanford7655]

Awesome. This is a great history of Yorubaland.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Thank you I was extremely happy they took the time to teach us!

[@nothing2540]

Wow Nigeria has lots of History. After your tour I recommend you travel to Ghana

[@JustLifeTravels]

We definitely plan on visiting Ghana in the future!

[@MrWetgate]

Thanks for the documentary

[@JustLifeTravels]

Hope you enjoyed watching as much as we did visiting!

[@LifeplexTV]

The Benin kingmakers sought a king from Ile-Ife (Oromiyan) because his father, Oduduwa, also known as Ekaladeran, was a prince who was meant to inherit the throne from his father, the last Ogiso of Benin.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Thanks a lot, I am happy this video is still contributing to my knowledge even to this day!

[@kbjojo]

Dou...you are so fascinating.. you didn't give up, just like a dog with bones lol .. I salute your energy and focus and concentration.. I think I might influence you get a resident visa or permanent residency of Nigeria 🇳🇬.. Talk to Ooni of Ife, he loves to see you around again. Always keep the fire burning ...Roger on guys..

[@JustLifeTravels]

Thank you! Yes we really try to get the best experience we can and we had an amazing one in Nigeria we both will definitely be back!

[@ismailolaide6827]

Wow

[@JustLifeTravels]

I hope you enjoyed?

[@colex3298]

Thanks for showcasing Nigerian culture. Would you be taking a trip to Benin? I really would like to see guys like you. This us wonderful. Good job guys, wish you both good luck and health.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Yes in our next trip out we hope to see Ghana Benin and Togo!

[@colex3298]

The Benin I'm referring to is Edo state Nigeria just to be clear. Thanks

[@mahmudadegbite4472]

Stop using Nigeria culture, there’s nothing called Nigeria culture. It is Yoruba race culture not Nigeria. Nigeria is a slave name given to all the tribes in that geographical region, Nigeria name is business name for the British. Do you see the northern tribes mentioning Nigeria culture, they will say hausa culture or Kanuri culture but not Nigeria culture. Please let us stop mentioning Nigeria culture but ( Yoruba culture, heritage, language). Eledumare will continue to change our perspective on illustration of culture. Thank you

[@ademiluyitimileyin6803]

Ife ooye

[@JustLifeTravels]

What’s ooye mean?

[@abuafrica]

I wish they trained guides to showcase our history, at present these men just waffle.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Yes it would be nice to have learned a little more but the tour was not an official tour, it was a favor

[@abuafrica]

@@JustLifeTravels thanks for taken the time to respond

[@JustLifeTravels]

@@abuafrica no problem!

[@TosereOjeme]

Saying Oduduwa was not birthed is ridiculous. The Yorubas do not know his past that is why the Benin Prince origin story is the most believable and most sensible.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Yes it was a strange detail, but I am not an expert so I could not question it, I am glad people in the comments have been helping us learn a bit more

[@aghonelego2379]

ILE IFE is the ancestral home, origin, and source of the Yoruba people across the globe. They believe life started from ILE IFE.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Yes it was great to learn some of their history, we spoke to those priests for almost two hours but unfortunately couldn’t put it all in the video because it would have been much too long

[@Africanbloke]

The "e" in Ife is pronounced like the "e" in "wet" not the "e" in day. Hope you guys had a nice time at the Ooni's palace.

[@JustLifeTravels]

Yes we really enjoyed the experience! Thank you for the tip!

[@zeeone4492]

There is no e in day

Correction, not ooni of all Yoruba land , he's the ooni of ife and osun state, other states have their own king, we have the oba of Lagos, alaafin of Oyo, oba of Benin kingdom,obi of Onitsha which is the biggest king in the whole Eastern part of Nigeria while in the north we have the emir's and sultans

[@JustLifeTravels]

Oh the way it was explained to us at the palace is that the Ooni of Ife is the high king of all other Yoruba kings and chiefs??? Yes we had an appointment to meet the Oba of Benin kingdom but unfortunately our driver left the night before without telling us and left us in Benin city.

[@akinpelu6156]

Mr man go and read history properly.Ooni is the head of all the kings in Yoruba land.

The oral tradition is what I hate most about precolonial yoruba history. It's usually biased and sounds like fairy tales. I just hope good historians will be able to decipher those myths and legends and come out with a good sketch of the true history...🙏

[@JustLifeTravels]

It’s still very interesting to learn, it’s always good to hear the historical biases because that in itself can help you learn their cultural history. I’d love to know plenty more of the history of a few places in Nigeria
