They wanna change the history of the the peopke

Wrong content in the book, how did the book escape to reach the public space. Our history is been distorted here.

Nothing much here, anybody can write any nonses after waking up from a good or bad night rest, it's left for those that are normal that knowns the truth or right thing to rewrite the nonsense, that is the essence of education and putting pen to paper.

Igbo people and wanting to occupy other regions are 5&6 , left only, they will one day say that the whole world came out from there tribe.....

Igbos always claiming to found everywhere.

There are many Yoruba related tribes in the south south like Itsekiri, some Bayelsaand Delta region bounded with Ondo but you can never hear Yoruba say they own the land.

once they are allowed to build house in Yoruba land, they will be claiming they owned the community. I don't even understand them again. Imagine someone in nairaland said dey don buy all the properties in Ibadan finished which is 100% false.

Those people are just moving about trying to cause havoc in this country. They're no different from Fulani hearders

olawonder:
Oh this is nothing, give it a time and we’ll soon find out the the Igbos founded China!

they will soon claim they found Israel too.

Wow. So after claiming they are Israelites and proven wrong! E be like some tribe like that no get history o.

Hmmmmm.
We want facts based on archaeology, ancient oral records, consistency across various tribes, etc.

One should be open-mind. But making assertions without exhaustive research work is not good enough.

Na by force to be Yoruba,why are these people so hellbent on rewriting our history?

Chucks13:
Not only ile ife why not say igbo founded entire Nigeria.

Honestly I hate all these unecessary obessession of my own people toward the SW.

We claimed we don't like SW then let's keep off their matter only a coward deep head into what he or she claed hear she dot like.

Keepp off pls keep and stop all these useless obsession of SW.

We are the onee claiming Jews, we are the one claiming Uganda, we are the one claiming Sudaness, we are the one claiming Bob The Builders of the universe a ka world developer pls na only us? Why life too pepper us for head these much, why?

You spoke honourably and rationally.

This is one of those countless provocative issues that makes Yorubas react and defend themselves against your people and when we retaliate in kind, your people are quick to accuse Yorubas of hating them.

To be sincere, it is almost coming on us that Yoruba would take up these issues and government would not be able to resolve it and by the time the dust settles, Ibos would wish they had reciprocated the goodwill and hospitality of the Yorubas was not taken for granted.

Satya1:
Igbos the most intelligent black people
Hate it or love it . The igbo is on top

lol
People that learnt how to wear clothes in 1920.
How can you even write that kind of nonsense.
Yorubas have never walked naked and they had their Oyo Empire in 1300 CE.

How possible can it be for people walking naked to found Ile Ife which is the source?
No be madness be dat?

EVERYONE of them badly wants to be a Yor u ba.

Men, women, young and old.

Was shocked when one of their elders confessed to me that he's so desperate he would willingly take tribal marks.

They claimed they owned 'No man's Land', nothing was done to correct it. Now that they have claimed the whole yorubaland, maybe the leaders of southwest would wake up to their responsibilities.

Before nko......We all know Igbos founded Nigeria and China and even USA......Make I even shock una further, Adam from the bible was an Igbo man.....Ehn ehn na

Fulani herdsmen oiling their weapons and their manhoods whilst yoruba's are fighting igbo's...

These confused Authors.
Next one will be how Igbo share ancestral link with Yaribas.
Nothing Musa no go see for gate!

I believe Yoruba land are practising the lease land use purchase?

This people keep getting more and more annoying on a daily basis. Check the names of the authors, they are the kinds that believe Igbo developed Lagos as well as Buhari being replaced by an individual from Sudan after demise!

The Federal Government should deal decisively with everyone involved in this matter. Our high level of tolerance as a people is being tampered upon and we must take appropriate actions to address it.

They said Oduduwa chase them Away .

They always chase you guys away . .

I guess too. But I'm not too sure here. For my street, hardly will you see Igbo people building houses, na dem dey rent house . Even Yoruba owners don wise up

Kudos to the ministry of education for coming out to clarify the authenticity of the content of the books trying to distort history.

Below are the published books mentiened in tne report.

Na husband and wife just put heads together and created history for Yoruba 😁😁😁 Very ingenious.

To be honest with u,there are so many distortions in Yoruba history...and such incomplete history would give room to lots of Lacuna and inconsistencies.

Examples are:

When reading Yoruba history,u will read where they say Oduduwa descended from heaven. Another history says Oduduwa came from Egypt. Another history has it that Oduduwa was not born by any flesh.

Even the Ooni has further said somethings in the past about igbos,where he said that igbos were the first group of people who founded prosperity a d wealth.

Ooni also said,that igbos were in ile ife before the arrival of the yorubas and the igbos were the ones who were a direct lineage of Obatala.

Ooni said in another instance,on 8 Oct 2023,that the igbos migrated from Ile ife and that they had strong ties with Oduduwa.

On July 9 2024,the Ooni said that igbos are inseparable of the Yoruba race.

If that is the case,the Ooni should come up and settle this fight.

soon you will heard they are the one that built Lagos, Ogun, osun and Oyo state. Once they built house for Yoruba land, they begin to exercise pride in their attitude. I don't take them serious at all.

The Igbos are fond of claiming everything and everywhere; I stopped taking them seriously when they even claimed to be Jews.

fallacies here. He's just saying it for much engagement niiii. Go to the history well, Yoruba people created wealth and till today, the wealth flows all over the world.

The authors should be arrested and let them rot in jail... always claiming good things 🤣
