- Tales of the Yoruba people are bigger than Africa. Yes, you're right. In this episode, I'm looking for the real and accurate history of Alaafin Oropontoniyun, the Alaafin of the ancient Oyo kingdoms. The first and only female Alaafin of Oyo. We talk about how the Yorubas have expanded their empire to (Kingdom of Dahomey) Cotonou, Benin Republic, where we just returned, and how the Yorubas have a large population and influence in Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana.
Orompoto was the first female Alaafin in the old Oyo Empire. She controlled an empire that encompassed what is now western and north-central Nigeria. When her father died, her brother, Prince Eguguoju, succeeded him as the next in line to the throne. He died in his youth, though, without a male heir. Prince Ajiboyede and Prince Tella, her younger brothers, were too young to inherit the throne at the time. As a result, Orompoto would step down as regent and ascend to the throne. The council of chiefs objected to this decision because the kingdom had never had a female monarch before.
I hear there is a Yoruba agitation going on, and many people have been saying that Yorubas have powers. I'd like to know whether this is real and if the Yoruba nation would be able to stand up to the government with our power.

Would you like your listing or story to be featured on this channel?
English subtitles at a minimum please..it will help the channel a great deal.
thanks for the suggestion, the channel is still a one man show and we are working on subtitling all our videos soon. Thank you sir
Am in love with African culture, traditions and history of great kings, Queens, Leaders, warriors and Empires. How I wish this is done in English. It's my business shaa.
Though, I don't Yoruba big I know people who hear must learn something from you. So keep it up brother.
Thanks for this message of yours Emeka, we are planning to start subtitling our videos. We just think a story of a place is better told in their local language or what do you think?
Thanks for uploading this video its eye opener for me
Thanks for watching, i really appreciate you
This indeed mind opening, the 7th oyo establishment after Oyo ile is something archaeologists to do research about to know where they are. I believe each Oyo establishment would have existed nothing less than 200yrs.
The musical score endeared me soul... the gangan was doing the magic.
Please complete this task for more learning.
Thanks for your comment and yes have gone to oyo again before Alaafin’s departure. You can check it sir.
@@abinibihub Oyo was village kingdom,a people who never build a city before the coming of the white man can't claim to be powerful kingdom.
@@EvwienureEjowokeoghene-ck8hdcry more you know nothing about Yoruba culture
@@EvwienureEjowokeoghene-ck8hd Coming from your mouth middle belt man, I understand that many of you lack knowledge of history and who are certain people.The yorubas history is far richer than one can imagine, they never recorded times when they were in nakedness as society but many of you were covered by them .Ain't you supposed to learn history before castigating.
Do you tell people story for them. Why you guys are interlopers without restraint. Get a life and leave people to tell their story as far as it is not downplay your own history.
Informations i was able to receive from this beautiful video helped me alot. Influenced me to be a RUclipsr, compliment my own Yoruba's hidden histories beyond ile Ife or west Africa. And today, i havent got much subcribers but the fews i have had are engaging me alot, especially professors and elites🎉

The Alaafin of OYO is known as the Yoruba nation's cultural father and custodian. Because of the mythology passed down through the generations, the Ooni of IFE is said to as the spiritual father and spokesman of the Yoruba gods. Please let us know if you have any objections.
@@opeyemiolawoore4388 thanks for your contribution and please don't forget to join our small community.
@@opeyemiolawoore4388 Alo ni eleyi ko se Itan
My mum said the same, she said she remembered being taught in school that Ooni of Ife is not from a royal household but a spiritual father. That the Alaafin of Oyo is the royal, by the way my mum is almost 70yrs old.
@@lollybabe08 Thanks for your contribution.
Very correct
Great video and presentation. Some historians and school of thought refers Orompoto as a man king. Not a woman.
Orompoto presented her self as a man to the oyo masi. Anyways thanks for watching and we will embark on the part two of that story next year by his grace.
I can see where i used to learn tailoring when you're going to the palace 😂❤
Wow. Really. Where are you now?
stop playing music so we can hear the conversation. Yoruba get power
Okay sir.
@joegraphy subtitle for your non-yoruba audience
Thanks. I will do it.
Hmmmmm Great God, SOGBOLISA KITIKATA...... OYO MESI ,simply means in Ewe , Yes i have heared ....Or YO MESI.
Alaafin lo ni Oba. Alaafin lo ni throne
where is old Oyo located ?
Beside Igbeti
My mentor is doing great 😢😢😢
Lol
Look here you do not need to tell me how powerful the Yoruba are, If anyone think the US, Isreal, Russia and all the European union combined has Power Please i will tell you today and say Please Think again thats all i have to say. The Yoruba, has the Knowledge of human DNA, Electromagnetic energy, the Power of Time, Distance, Angle, and Degree with those 4 elements alone, thats how the smart weapons works, Vehicle Airplane, mechanical, structural, Process technology and quantum physics works. need not to say more.
Are we in big problem?
Oshay!!! Baddest

Look up on the ghost dna from west Africa. We’re different from the rest of the world, we’re from the star
Kini orisun Alaafin ati wipe nibo ni Alaafin ti wa ti e ba so wipe Ooni kii şe Oba? . Şe oju sanmo ni Alaafin ti j'abo ni a bi kii şe ile İfe ni orirun Alaafin ni?
You are right and the baba is not talking about Ile Ife. Just relax and stay tuned as we are planning to visit Ife really soon to know the role oyo played
I hv the list of Oba Alaafin of Oyo if that might help
Yes please
@@abinibihub how do I get it to you
@@idaraji whatsapp 09070465two3four
Pls stop playing music in your videos
Thanks for your comment sir but why.
Where is this oyo ile?
When oromiyan departed ile ife, he made oyo ile, which was the first oyo he made. I believe this current oyo is the fourth oyo, although I only know three. The first oyo ile was followed by oyo igboho and finally this oyo. Part 2 of this video is available in my most recent video. The oyo ile is still in existence, and we are arranging a trip to the oyo in the near future.
@@abinibihub
Original Oyo and the original Ile Ife are in Judea!!! You are omo Ajuba, AKA omo Judah! You were chased out of your Holy Land, scattered all over when Rome invaded Jerusalem in 70 A.D.!!! Some, you omo Alade, from the house of Dawi fled to Portugal. You were the royal descendants, documented by historical evidence that you are the people of the Book!!! You were chased out of Portugal to re establish in West Africa, because many of your brothers, (sons of Yakub) fled to Africa. The Ajuda, Ayuda, Yahuda, aka Yoruba established New Lagos in West Africa, which was named after Lagos Portugal. Go pull up the 1747 Map of West Africa and you will find the Kingdom of Judah. They removed the label in the later maps, lest you figure out whom you are. No, you are NOT Africans, you are Negros from the King of Ajuba (King David lineage). Gbogbo awon amunisin oyinbo mon yin, sugbon eyin ti gbagbe ibi ti e ti wa.
@@omokaroojiire Wow!!! Many thanks for sharing and elucidating. This now clarifies the past visions I've had ...as well as the messages conveyed therein. I always knew there was something Divinely unique about the Yorubas. I'm well-chuffed.
@@omokaroojiire please stop misinforming people! We Yorubas have nothing to do with Judea! We are not Israelites! If you want to associate with Christianity, do it with something else law. We Yorubas know our history and definitely nothing in association with other Israel!
How are you Bolanle. It’s quite an age. Honestly I believe yorubas are originally not from here but I don’t know where are from. Trust me I will find out. Translate ILe Ife to English. Ife means expansion. Do the calculation and again lamurudo (the don of Odududa) has an Arabic meaning. Do your research and let us learn.
I read that Yoruba is a word from fulani on this channel,and it means people that slamm. It's crazy no yoruba son can correct this because we also don't know.
Yoruba is not a fulani word. It's not in fufude and arab doesn't have the word o in their language so yoruba didn't originate from the arab but they are among the first to write about Yoruba and what was written down was yaruba because they don't have o.
It's a long story but i shaKe head for we the young yoruba when i see yoruba sons or daughters write from their well of ignorance.
Yoruba didn't originate from us though and historically most yoruba towns today didn't accept the name at first.
Yoruba simple means plenty people,yorubu means a person
Thanks for enlightening us. Who are we?
@@abinibihub several names have been given to us "yorubas" in the past that didn't stick. One of such is Aku people which means people that extensively use the Aku word for example Aku odun,Aku ojumo,Aku idana,Aku etutu,Aku aseyinde, Aku isinku,ati beebeelo. So we were referred to as the Aku people but it didn't stick. Out of names that were given to us only Yoruba stick because our brothers accepted the name after they were captured as slaves to distinguish themselves.
And Ajayi crowther popularise it by naming it's first written bible works,the bible of the Yoruba.
It was the baatonu that was calling their trade partners from Oyo the name, Yorubu(1 person) or Yoruba(2 or more) but our slaves brother were the first to declare themselves Yoruba after being called by the baatonu for years because back home they were just Omo alade and they need no reason to distinguish themselves among their people but the scenario required it at that point.
Ajayi used his first written work to accept it and since then it sticks
That old man full of lie with barbaric fake Analysis..... If IFE not a oba. There's 97 and Oba's before Oduduwa over throne... Oranmiya is grandson. How come he claims OYO is only king Era talking trash....
Even OYO doesn't have crown 👑. They ve to look for OBA'TALA descender which Oladigun. The crown was snitched from Oladigun.... Today they're claim supremacy...
relax bro, we are going to ife really soon for their own part of the story. We travel to the story sauce on this channel and thanks for enlightening us.
Mister know all , I’m sure you read or was told all these ..you were not alive then so calm the fuck down!
Lies upon lies... Ask him how come Oranmiyan who founded Oyo town left Oyo to Ile-ife to hustle for the throne of Òóni to become the 6th Òóni of Ife... This lies must stop.. Oranmiyan dies and was buried in Ife... Infact, Olowu Asukungbade who was a grandchild like Oranmiyan got a crown before any other person in Yoruba land apart from Oduduwa.. It was Alaafin Sango that stop the payment of isakole to Olowu by the Oyo's, after Orile Owu was destroyed by the entire yoruba army after the Olowu refused to punished the Owu man that killed an Ife man at Aponmu market... If Oyo throne is bigger, Oranmiyan who founded Oyo will not go back to Ile-ife to become the 6th Ooni of Ife
I like the way you analyzed it. Does that mean we should go to Ife to find the real story?
Onile.. Oni is the King of Kings in Yoruba land
We know and please explain.
That’s a big lie don’t be fool , Alaafin is the head of Yoruba obas listen and learn your history to base it on today politics
@@abinibihubwhat is the origin of Alaafin (oloyo)?
@BabatundeAdet Ife

All E1b1a people are hebrews from near east , we are the agriculturist , the civilizationist , and of course monotheist and etc , i love Y dna E
Thanks for sharing bro. We will surely get to the root of finding out our real history.
My research shows the first King in Ile-Ife is Oduduwa and Oranmiyan left Oyo to reign as King. Ile-Ife is the head of all Yoruba (Omoluabi) that is why you have Oranmiyan stool of office in Ile-Ife till today. The problem is the name Yoruba,that name was from Fulani trader with Oyo region.The meaning of Yoruba is slamming people, untrusted that where Oyo empire come about. In fact Alaafin has no crown anymore since the invasion of Oyo-ile.
thanks for you contribution sir
This obsession with the word because it also has a meaning in the Hausa language is nonsense, the fulani aren't even indigenous to west Africa so the notion that they're important when they are being hosted in the region by the indigenes is madness, I rarely hear about the betterment of the Yoruba and propagation of our culture, I hear instead nonsense about us being some kind of arab or 'hebrew' creation.
You are totally wrong if you don’t know the history please ask, Oduduwa meet people in ile ife which means his not the first person there and they have their own language which is different from Yoruba. Oranmiyan who is the son of Oduduwa the founder of Oyo later came back to ife to become king did you ever know this ? And that’s why you have his staff there . Ooni is a chief priest of Oduduwa who became arole when all of Oduduwa sons are not around to be king when their father pass. That’s why OYO language is the Yoruba language me and you are speaking today. Ooni means ooni ji ri orisa which is abore, while Alaafin means the owner of the throne . In Yoruba land meaning of the names are very important.
@@timawo9959 You must be one of those who are twisting Yoruba history. I will argued from your own evidence. If Oranmiyan left ILE-iFE establish Oyo and when he came back to Ile-Ife what happened? . He returned to be the king over the whole Yorubaland including Oyo. The meaning of Ile-Ife is land of expansion meaning the whole Yorubaland is an extension of Ile-Ife. Then how can an extended land becomes the head of the main land. People like you don't know anything always claimed to know a lot. You need to be logical in thinking.
@@omonigeromoniger2908 Is like you don’t get what we are talking about here, it’s not about the township everyone knows that ile ife existed before Oyo but we are talking about the kingship. Oranmiyan returns and become the King in ile ife because he his a rightful owner of the throne and he wasn’t called ooni when he was the king in ile ife after he has established and ruled as first Alaafin Oyo . After he died there was no direct son of Oduduwa who is ready to be king then and they asked the chief priest to be the king instead and that’s why it’s been called according to his title ooni ji ri orisa now turned to ooni of ife . Meaning Oyo throne is the rightful and head of the Yoruba obas that’s why after Oranmiyan when his son Sango was ruling and established Oyo empire that rules over all Yoruba land and beyond the ooni can’t talk then . Go and study the history of OYO Empire please. Alafia is the head of Yoruba obas
But why yoruba is now slave order fulani
That is the state in which we have found ourselves, and I am confident that we are wiser than we think we are, and we will be out of this mess in no time. According to history, this isn't the first time the Fulani have come after us.
I would like to disagree with you sir the Yorubas are not slaves they have never been the yoruba's knew understood science and other things which have merely came to limelight a few years ago for instance the yoruba's knew aliens existed the was what prompted the concept of Egungun they thought knew could speak with this Etraterestrials through Egungun and seek their knowledge although some Egungun were for the purpose of speaking with the dead
even when the Yorubas were taken as slaves to Portugal they changed the architecture of that place till today.. the Yoruba were architects too
You seems to know much Mohammed. Have you read about how the name Yoruba was given to us?
@@abinibihub in the true sense of it the word Yoruba was coined from the word yariba which was used to refer to the people from Oyo by the northerners of the kokawa kingdom as they both had much contact during the time of oranmiyan as he was the first notable figure to lead a trade expenditure to that kingdom so Yoruba is Oyo and Oyo is Yoruba..
Yorubas are not slave under Fulani! We defeated fulanis several times when they tried invading our lands! The so called Nigeria is limiting us, hence we can’t exercise our power under the umbrella of one Nigeria!
