0:00 Who was Oranfe? Who was this being called Oranfe? Who was this being called Oranfe? Now, there are a lot of other beings that you can like like El Ludlud El Ludlud the one that ascend if Ifa so they Orunmila Elijah just like Elijah in the Bible. Yeah, yeah, just like Jesus Christ went to heaven. Just like I see as people of I see as [music] they coming back of Elah. Oh, people are still expecting the the coming back of Elah. Elah. And another thing in Ife is it that that you can find something in Ife that will convince you a little. You go to Ife if you are a historian want to Ife again things in Ife. There are some names that are similar in Ife.
0:45 We have Olurogbo the son of Moremiu. You'll be hearing about Sango Sango the son of Oranmiyan. >> Yes, the son of Oranmiyan. Ife Ife that established Oyo >> Yes, yeah. Ife was Sango Oranfe. >> Oh. The the the Sango of the the [music] you know established Oyo >> Yes. >> was a human being. >> Yes, good. >> Why the Sango of Oranfe was an extra extra being? I've gotten it. One Babalawo told me one of my forefathers. >> Ifo that of Oduduwa I will be challenged by that one. I will challenge by that one because there are names names that will sound similar that don't you can be actually Adey hundreds of thousands years ago in the
1:32 same lineage they can give birth to another person in that lineage that share that name Adey as well. >> That possess the attributes because of the attribute they will now give you >> You got it. >> That's what I heard about the Sango of Oyo. >> Good. Yes. >> Interesting. >> So, the same the same thing I can tell you we have Oduduwa Irumole. >> Oduduwa Irumole >> and we have Oduduwa Olofin. >> Oduduwa Olofin This Oduduwa in this context is the same Oduduwa. You are guessing this, huh? >> [snorts] >> Now, part of Yoruba religion After Oranfe narrated that origin of his own being to the six children,
2:19 they said If you are looking at 24 hours or 12 hours in a day, according to Yoruba own time, it's it's never 24 hours in a day. It is 12 hours in a day. >> In a day. >> Yes. Starting from 6:00 uh end in another 6:00. 6:00. 24 hours in a [music] 24 hours. By the time according to that history, by the time Oranfe was narrating uh the his own existence history to the children, it was [music] like around 5:00. >> What? >> So, they are doing a kind of No, looking at when the world has been. So, the time he was now telling his
3:05 children that story, story. It's like where you are saying you are a The time is like 5:00 in the evening. >> See. >> That world has [music] gone past. Are you following? So that history says something about the where they were. That in that place you have a lot of fire yard. >> Fire yard. >> Yes, you have a lot of fire yard. That way, in that place is a place where you continue in a perpetual enjoyment. You continue in a perpetual enjoyment in which music of various tones will be played and you will dance and dance and have merry.
3:51 That one can be likened to what the Bible would call a paradise. >> Paradise. The Garden of Eden. >> The Garden of Eden. >> Are you following? So, that's now is the whole Now Olofin now tasked the children that if he Olofin has not so much to put all these things in places that I can now tax you my children. You are going into the world to do some other work assignments assignment as I your father has done done my own part. Send them. Can you see now? We are coming here. For history of the world >> Osin Osin Jordan ordered it. It's connecting. It's connecting. >> It starts there. >> The dots is connecting.
4:36 >> First, he sent three. >> He sent three first. >> Yes, three first. And in that last interview and mentioned the names of those three. Olofe >> Olofe >> number one Olofi >> Olofi >> number one Olofi number one >> Olofi >> number two >> number two Aramuko >> Aramuko >> or Aramoro >> Okay, that's >> I doubt the two. Yes. >> Aramoro >> number three Three of them sent first.
5:23 Those were the three first elders that Ile-Ife sent to Okediji come a present day Ile-Ife. >> Okediji come That's a present day. >> Yes. That the reason why that name Okediji come as I was reflective in nature that that was a fair of beginning of Ife Kutu. When the age of this world itself was very small. That Okediji come was foggy in nature. You can't see clearly in Okediji come. Because the world was in its primitive level in Okediji come. If someone is coming from afar, you can't see that person because
6:10 there was kind of fog, mist in that Yes, very cold environment. Or to that person very very like two three steps to close before you can see that person. Three of them, Olofin, Olofe, and Alamoku were sent to Ife. Those three uh people majority of people in sub-Saharan Africa I'm telling you, if you including northern part of Africa, Egypt, uh Sudan, Ethiopia, and the rest of it, majority of people in that those places came from these three. You can see that if you trace the history of Yoruba, you will go far. Now, coming back to Ife now, we have three people that were sent.
6:55 >> Yes. >> Olofin, Olofe, and Alamoku. That three by their nickname Ile, Omi, Ati Ife. >> Ile, >> Omi, >> Ati. >> Omi, Ile. That's Olofin. >> Yes. >> Omi, Ile, Olofe. That is the the the deity that will control the earth, the the the the the the ground. >> All the land, the dry land. >> Yes. The son of Allah that will control. That was Olofe. Olofe water.
7:42 The lord of the water. Just be following me, oh. Olofe water. Then Iramoku, forest. Igbo. >> Iramoku. >> Igbo, god of forest. >> God of the forest. Now, there's this popular saying uh in Yoruba language or Yoruba deity that Obawumi, Ojo ba oke Ojo about below or the body. What's the word? Now Orafenao gave three of them three separate assignments. Three of them. Orao fair, the first son
8:30 will always be the father. Will always be the father. Olumama dear the top mama after the Ora fair of the primordial. >> Yes. >> The person they will call Ora fair on earth is Ora fair. >> And Ora fair, yes. >> That's Ora fair. We we still have that person in the person of Gabi Obaluru of Ife. >> Go and find out. >> Oba >> Obaluru of Ife. >> Luru of Ife. >> Orarotimi Oba Orarotimi Olato. Still very much around. Go and find out. That's That is the person of Ora fair of our time. >> What?
9:18 >> Now Orafin water >> Out of the water. Yes. >> The assignment Ora fair gave to Orafin from Orafin cannot be Safi. What is Safi? Alas. >> Alas, yes. >> Look at that name. Look at that name. Orafin >> Yes, sir. >> Look at that name. Orafin Afi >> Afre >> Can you see something? >> Alafe >> Can you see something? Orafin Afi The fourth son of that one is to be their king.
10:03 Be their king. >> What? >> Now Iramoko the It was a warrior. A hunter. Be secure this forest. >> Secure this auto fair. >> You are the Lord of the forest. You are a great warrior and a hunter. A hunter, a great warrior, secure this this land. You Olori be their king. You Olori be the You Olori fair sit in that my seat. I see their father their grandfather. You can see three separate three of them
10:51 came first. After that three another now 200 Akbar, are you following? >> I'm following, sir. >> Now among the 200 that came now after that three Olori Olori fair and Amuko we have people like Obadala. >> [snorts] >> That's among the >> the next batch that we call. People like Olorunmila >> Olorunmila Obara >> All of them like that. That's I know that's next batch that we call. You can see where we are. You can see where >> it still began. >> We actually came for where the history began. You can see.
11:36 It's very very it's been very very long. >> Man, the door is very far away from It's very far away from >> very very long. I told you something that if existed in many places. Now that map now I will see we are still going to Google. I will give you the map that will give you the picture of how big auto fair of them was. I told you in the other in the other interview >> Yes, sir. >> that what we have now as Nigeria Nigeria of today >> Yes, sir. Ghana of today >> uh Republic of Benin of today Ivory Coast of today Burkina Faso of today Togo of today
12:21 Gambia of today today's Chad today's Niger were all part of empire of then. By the time you got to Sierra Leone, you'll be missed. Because the ghost DNA issue uh result that came out say something that the three people that are carrying the ghost DNA genome they are the Yoruba people of Western Nigeria Mende people the Esan people in Benin and Mende people. By the time you are looking at these three the Lukumi people this Mende people they were Yoruba people that left Ile-Ife and go and settle in that place in Sierra Leone.
13:08 The same thing you find some of them they trace of them in the present day Burkina Faso Burkina Faso too. They are still there. Now the Esan people I told you the Esan people they are Ile-Ife people that left Ile-Ife and settled there in Ikodomi Godo land. There is some of them are citizen of Orolu Ife. Some of them are citizen of Alamu Ife. And part of them are citizen of Orolu Ife. Because you are looking at that three now family tree or you are tracing their genealogy now you see someone like Aramoko giving birth to Iju. You see name like Soropasan you see name like Olose are there. You see name like Faiye too. You see name like Erinlu Erinle. All those people they were
13:56 offshoot of Aremo Aremo. The Aramoko was the founder. >> That was a lot of the forest. >> Yes. Was it hotter? So people from that lineage form all those places that I cannot call Edo or Benin City today. They are mix of of Obatala, Oranmiyan, and people like I love Ife for example. So that's why you can see that's why you see there those people there some people now still carry that you know of those days there there with Yoruba people. So before the flood we had we have what was referred to as Ife that year. Of which those people ruled. After the flood the flood came as a result of some factor that I will not be able to
14:41 mention here. Ife history will tell you that what If you ask them what was the cause of the flood they will tell you a lot of things happened. A lot of adversity happened and flood came. And Ife Odaye lot of factor you know Ife Odaye was Ife of the spirit. >> Ife of the spirit sir. >> Ife Odaye was Ife of the spirit. It was Ife Odaye that was destroyed by the flood. >> And it was recorded in Ife history that it was destroyed by the flood. Can we now link it to the flood I think it's now linked to the Noah >> Good. The same flood of Noah. You know one thing that was very you know the beauty of the whole thing now the beauty of the whole thing will lie in the area of Look at it. If you go to Akede
15:27 history they recorded the flood. Book of Enoch says something about the flood. Now Ife says something about the flood again. Look at the convergence again. So look at it. Look at those things like they are so very very far apart. Ancient civilizations. Look at where Ife is located today. Look at where Asia people Iraq Iran and the rest. Look at the distance. Look at the full Ethiopia. Look at the distance. Look at the this people in Demaya people and the rest of people in part of India. They recorded the same thing that some sort of people came down there was a flood. The same thing they recorded. >> Wow.
16:13 >> Look at the the great distance between among these [clears throat] civilizations and they were ancient civilizations at the capital that sort of that is what truly truly something of that is what happened. Wow. This is interesting stuff. >> [laughter] >> This is interesting. Now, I said it was Ife that was destroyed. Yes, sir. After the destruction, a lot of people before people were now very many on the face of the earth. They have married, they have since they are married, there were many people. Well, along the line, some set of people called Anarchy. They misbehaved. Are you following? >> Yes, sir. >> And God decided to wipe out humanity with flood.
16:59 Ife account recorded it like that. Now, some set of people now but the survival issue, what the Ife history says uh >> Yes, sir. >> is different from what the Bible says. >> Bible says, "Oh." >> We have some slight difference. If we are trying to look at what the Bible said but Bible says [snorts] something about Noah and his sons survived. If your people will tell you a lot of people destroyed but some powerful people fled. >> Yes. >> They fled. They hung themselves. Huh? >> Above the water. >> Above the water. And while while the when the water dried up they came down. When they came down, the first set of thought they survived that flood, they
17:44 came down on Oke Ora. Later, they were they were still very much afraid of the fact that probably the flood can still come back. >> come back. >> They now decided to stay in Oke Ora. And Oke Ora is still in Ife. >> It's still there. >> Go to Ife. >> Oke Ora is still there. They stayed in Oke Ora. Now, after some years they now say, "Okay, people began to expand again. People began to multiply again. They now they were now like looking at the fact that that thing will never with time never contain them. >> Contain them. >> That's how Obatala now advised them that they should now come down. >> So, Obatalanla were part of the survivors. >> Yes.
18:30 They now came down. They now formed the first town or the first city called Uwara. Uwara Uwara Uwara Uwara. You know, there are even there are some things of historians that will tell you not Uwara for they will say they will tell some will tell you Uwale. Some will tell you Uwara. We are now spreading our existence. That's where Ife, that name Ife came after Uwara. I don't think we are now spreading spreading. [music] >> So, the point where >> Yes. >> They now spreading. >> Yes, Uwara. That they are now existed you are now spread. After the flood they came down. They formed that city Uwara.
19:16 So they now started a kind of a kind of How can I put it now? Now, you see this family unit you'll be the head of your family. This is another family unit you'll be the head of your family. From there they could form 16 family which will later transform to 16 aboriginal communities. >> Mhm, we mentioned that from the beginning. >> Before you know it, they began to govern themselves. All those communities now after those communities might have formed they have their Oba. Oba Oba Oba Oba in each of that That I was annoyed. >> So, that that that was the first time
20:01 the Oba title was >> Just wait. I'm just wait for me. There was a time I was watching I was watching one thing internet. One Edo guy That I go to guy posted something like >> Yeah, he's Edo guy. >> Yes, that posted a lot of a lot of stuff that made me very annoyed. That the name Oba was an Edo name. Kai. >> they they will say it means light. >> [laughter] >> No problem. Now, I keep on telling people if Igbo people will come up today Mhm? >> Yes, sir. >> They will tell you that they own Ife. >> Yes, I I've heard that >> Just wait for me, oh. >> that claim before, sir. >> If anybody who happens to be a professor I don't want to know even if you are professor or anything. There are some
20:47 things that we call try and sit down. Before you say sit down, oh. Do your findings well. Now, Ife has been there. The name of those deities is more or less they have been there from the beginning. Their name never changed. Their names never Their names >> Is that the 20s? >> Those 200 deities >> 200 rather, 200 deities that you mentioned. >> right from the beginning, they are still there in Ife. Their shrines, they are still there in Ife. Go and check >> those names. >> Maybe you will see any name that sounds like Igbo name. Or maybe you see any name that sounds like Edo name. Most of that are some things you can
21:32 very very very easily verify. >> Verify. >> Go and check the name of those deities. How will come? And those people they have been in existence before even the person that founded Benin was born. >> The person that founded Benin >> Yes. >> was born. >> You know, a lot of villages before Benin right in Igodomigodo. Now, there was a person called Oba Igodomigodo. >> Oba Igodomigodo? >> Yes, there was person called Ogiefa. >> Ogiefa? >> There was No, you see those Ogiamien people. You know, all these Ogie Ogie Ogie Ogie Benin some body from Ife had given birth to them. >> Oh. >> They know their history. That's why Ife said people, the people in Ife >> Yeah. >> People in Ife, that to say people, you
22:17 know them. Go and go to Ife palace. Go and interview them. >> Mhm.
