The first man that was created was Yoruba — Oluwo of Iwoland
Speaking in a statement on Monday, October 16, the monarch urged historians working on the study of the Yoruba ancestral home to be objective in their research and documentation.
According to him, “Yorubas are naturally from greatness. Humanity started from us. We are the descendants of Lamurudu, the first mightiest man to build the tallest house. Our history is beyond Oduduwa and Ile-Ife. Limiting our history to the duo is tantamount to restraining our ancestors from great accomplishments and achievements of the past.
I challenge Professors of Yorubas to research on the origin and originality of Oduduwa. We have to objectively trace his lineage and origin. He came from somewhere before he settled at Ile-Ife.
This implies that Yorubas are not originally from Ile-Ife. In documenting the history of the Yorubas, all ancient crowns and stakeholders with genuine interest must be incorporated. We are victor, great and rich.
Hence, we must establish our origin to be greater and richer than our forebears – Oluwo of Iwoland said
Yoruba ancestors/ancestral home, to be accepted, must be traced to pure, unadulterated Yoruba speaking ancient towns which their intonation can be device to write and pass Yoruba examinations with recognized bodies such as JAMB, WAEC and NECO.
I’m a descendant of Oduduwa. Empirically, the origin of humanity is pointing to the Yorubas. The first man created, Adamo, was a Yoruba. I’ve researched in books and beyond on the coinage of Adamo.
And I have extended my findings to Yoruba religion which is worshiping of direct access to Olodumare without intermediaries, Judaism, Christianity,Buddhism, Hinduism e.t.c to know the meaning of Adamo. Also I have been vindicated by many revelations. In dictionary, Adamo means “created from the red earth” meaning “Eni ti a da ninu amo”.
I’m throwing it opened for further academic investigation by Yoruba professors.”
