✍️ALAAFIN SHARED WRONG HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF Ọ̀KÀNBÍ AS THE ONLY CHILD OF ODUDUWA WHO GAVE BIRTH TO 7 CHILDREN WHERE Ọ̀RÀNMÍYAN WAS THE LAST BORN,THIS HISTORY IS VERY VERY WRONG,ÒGÚN WAS THE FATHER OF Ọ̀RÀNMÍYÀN✍️
Help me tag ITAN YORUBA to add to his knowledge on the reason why OWOADE is too young to comfront ỌỌNI.
This is what happens when we lack the presence of well informed Historians. The correct history of Ọ̀RÀNMÍYÀN came from ILÉ IFẸ̀ where he was born not Ọ̀YỌ́ where he built as Adult. The father of ỌRANMIYAN was ÒGÚN and his mother was Lákàngẹ́ who was taken as war captive. ỌỌNI took her from ÒGÚN when he was going on war expedition,they had an agreement that if Ògún did not return early,she would become his wife,she gave birth in the palace of Ọọni to ỌRANMIYAN.
ALAAFIN taught wrong history of Ọ̀KÀNBÍ for so many years,he said Ọ̀KÀBÍ had seven children,but where Ọba of Benin was one of them ,then Orangun ilẹ̀ ìlá before Oranmiyan as the last born. This historical account is very very wrong. Ọ̀kanbi was a title meaning OLUỌMỌ,king among the children,a Prince who become Ọba of Benin,this contradict our historical information as we know ỌRANMIYAN was the who paved way for his son Eweka in Benin,Orangun was the descendants of ORUNMILA and ODUDUWA not just child to Oduduwa. ODUDUWA HAD MANY CHILDREN not just seven. IYÙNADÉ was the first daughter of this ỌỌNI,she married Ọbalesun from Ọbatala’s family and had Ajibosin who was called Asunkungbade,he was the one who built the present Owu,and he was called OLÓWU OF ÒWU. Ọ̀kànbí was not the only child of Oduduwa,no seven children o,and till today,some people are still sharing that wrong history.
One of the issues which caused disputes between Alaafin Lamidi Adeyẹmi Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA ÀNÁ and ỌỌNI Olubuṣe OLORI ALÁDÉ was that of celebration Ọ̀RÀNMÍYÀN. Ọ̀pá Ọ̀rànmíyàn is in ILÉ IFẸ̀,but there is no indigenous site for Ọ̀RÀNMÍYÀN in new Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA which is the truth. IFẸ̀ remains ancestral home of Ọ̀RÀNMÍYÀN and all the royal children must come to IFẸ̀ to pay respect to their father.
As a matter of fact Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA is a new Ọ̀YỌ́ ruled by only ATIBA ATỌBATẸLẸ CHILDREN,non of Ọ̀RANMIYAN CHILDREN who are senior to ATIBA are Ruling in Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA,this is enough evidence that the new Ọ̀YỌ́ is mixed with Hausa/Fulani who have been absorbed into the community because ALAAFIN ATIBA was forced to convert to ISLAM by Emir Sh*tta of Ilorin,ATIBA betrayed ALAAFIN OLUEWU who had recorded victory over fulani Army in Ilorin before,when he joined with Ibariba.
PRINCE ATIBA BETRAYED ALAAFIN OLUEWU BECAUSE OF ISLAMIC RELIGION AND BECAUSE HE WAS NOT HAPPY THAT THE IBARIBA WERE CALLED TO FIGHT WITH OLUEWU,OLUEWU WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLE BETRAYAL. IT WAS NOT ONLY ATIBA WHO BETRAYED THEIR YORUBALAND, ONIKOYI, LANLOKE OF OGODO ,TIMI OF ẸDẸ,KURUNMI IJAYE AND OLUYOLE, BUT OLUYOLE WAS RECORTED NOT TO JOIN THEM COMPLETELY, BUT STILL HE DID NOT FIGHT LIKE HE SHOULD FIGHT.
ATIBA was known as the son of ALAAFIN ABIODUN,he wanted to become ALAAFIN,he promised to make Oluyọle Bashorun and Kurunmi the Aare Ona Kakanfo…They allowed fulani to destroy the OLD Ọ̀YỌ́ ILÉ,they are traitors who are selfish,they created more problems in Yorubaland. ATIBA succeeded in seeing the end of Ọ̀YỌ́ ILÉ which is full of Ọ̀RANMIYAN children with his allies,ILORIN warriors killed Oluewu and Bariba King Warukura in ELEDUWE WAR. This is a shameful act to witness,and ALAAFIN ADEYẸMI was still doing the same thing during his reign,he was attacking ỌỌNI his father.
This is why the new Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA is full of people who behave like morons for attacking OLORI ALADE ỌỌNI OF IFẸ̀,instead of creating unity,they are fighting senseless fight to rule. This is why EKITI PARAPO WARRIORS fought them and sent them back when they wanted to attack ILÉ IFẸ̀.
Now you know that Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA IS TOO SMALL TO EVEN be calling Ọ̀YỌ́ EMPIRE,it was the old Ọ̀YỌ́ ILÉ we can call Ọ̀YỌ́ Ọ̀RANMIYAN.IGBOHO is older than this Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA, Ọ̀GBÓMỌ̀ṢỌ̀ is older than Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA,MODAKẸKẸ and Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA are at same level. ALAAFIN ATIBA is not senior to ỌBA OGUNSUA OF MODAKẸKẸ.HE IS ỌMỌ ỌRANMIYAN from old Ọ̀YỌ́ ILÉ too.
MANY OBA SENIOR ALAAFIN ATIBA,HE WAS A GRANDSON NOT DIRECT SON,BECAUSE HE WAS NOT THE ONLY DESCENDANTS OF ALAAFIN ABIODUN, NOBODY KNOWS HIM DURING THE REIGN OF ALAAFIN ABIODUN. ALAAFIN ABIODUN HAD ABOUT 13 WIVES WHO HAD CHILDREN FOR HIM. OLUFIOYE WAS A SON OF ALAAFIN ABIODUN,HE WENT TO ESTABLISH GBOGAN which is older than Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA.
ALAAFIN ABIODUN DIED IN 1789,ATIBA WAS BORN IN 1800,AS YOU CAN SEE,HE IS NOT A SON OF ALAAFIN ABIODUN,HE IS A GRANDSON,HISTORY RECORDED THAT ALAAFIN ATIBA DIED AT 58 YEARS,RULING FROM 1837 to 1859 and his son Adelu became ALAAFIN. As you can see that ATIBA met people in ÀGỌ́ Ọ̀JÀ,he wanted to create a new Ọ̀YỌ́,Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA IS ÀGỌ́DỌ̀YỌ́ not Ọ̀YỌ́ Ọ̀RÀNMÍYAN.
THE ANCESTRAL HOME OF HIS GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANT FATHERS HAS NOT CHANGED IN ILÉ IFẸ̀,AND ỌỌNI IS STILL SITTING ON THE THRONE. ỌỌNI REMAINS THE FATHER OF ALAAFIN ATIBA AND ALL ALAAFIN TILL PRESENT. ỌỌNI IS OLORI ALADE GBOGBO NI ILẸ̀ YORÙBA. ✍️
This is not a debatable position to debate with anyone. History has helped us to know the fact. ✍️
IFẸ̀ IS OUR ANCIENT CITY,WE MUST UNITE TO BUILD OUR LAND,WE MUST NOT BETRAY OUR ANCESTORS LIKE THEY BETRAYED ALAAFIN OLUEWU WHO WAS TRYING TO TAKE BACK YORUBA LAND FROM THE FULANI. Shamefully,Islamic religion was used by fulani to deceive some of our people,they betrated their land.
This is why we lost ILORIN to Fulani,because Emir of Ilorin is a useless Title in Yoruba Land,ỌBA ILORIN is the real title. We should have learnt from the past mistakes by now. ✍️
Please warn ALAAFIN Ọ̀WỌ́ADÉ OF Ọ̀YỌ́ ATIBA to humble himself,and respect his ROYAL FATHER’S THRONE where ỌỌNI is sitting. ỌỌNI IS THE FATHER OF ALL ALAAFIN,Ọ̀RANMIYAN WOULD BE PROVOKED IF HE IS ALIVE SEING ALAAFIN Ọ̀WỌ́ADÉ BEING RUDE TO HIS FATHER ỌỌNI. ✍️
I know the new ALAAFIN does not know much about history but we would educate him about the history of his father ATIBA who created this AGỌ́DỌ̀YỌ́…This is the real history not agbelẹro ò. The new Alaafin should respect himself,if not they would push him into shame and reproach.
