YORUBA NATION :KEY MONARCH BACKS PAEDIA EXPRESS ON ODUDUWA
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.
Against the generally perceived notion that Oduduwa was the
founder of the Yoruba race by several modern scholars which The News office Desk
of the E.N.M.Paedia Express MultimediaGroup had challenged recently via a world
exclusive ,a key monarch of the Yoruba
people has thrown his full weights behind this medium's assertion on the
founder of Yoruba nation.
On the 8th of August,2018,Olugbo of Ugbo,Oba Fredrick
Obateru Akinruntan while unveiling the status of the god figure ,Moremi said
that it was high time he spoke out so as to help correct distortions in the
history of Ile Ife and the entire Yoruba nation.
He said :"i stand for the truth and i am ready to prove
that truth to all lovers of truth,we should stop telling lies that have been
causing confusion in our land for many years,one side of Yoruba history has
being told and this is the time to let people know those areas that they have
been silent about for so long"
"Yoruba did not start with the arrival of Oduduwa at
Ile-ife ,he met 16 communities that Olugbo Obamakin Osangagan was ruling
over"
He revealed that for a very long time Moremi had been ignorantly
called a goddess but quickly added that she did not descend from any heaven but
was actually Olugbo's wife.
The monarch added that Moremi actually gave birth to his
forefather but later betrayed her husband..
Paedia express had argued in a previous editorial that it
was very spurious to call Oduduwa the founder of Yoruba nation when there were
actually people that he met on ground at the time of his arrival.
