Oduduwa
Encyclopedia : O : OD : ODU : Oduduwa
Oduduwa (sometimes contracted as Odudua, Oòdua) is generally assumed to be the ancestor of the Yoruba kings. Oral traditions of the Oyo recount the coming of Oduduwa from the east, sometime rendered as the "vicinity" or direction of Mecca, perhaps a reference to the general location of the Arabian peninsular. The Ife oral traditions, on the other hand, tell that Odùduwà was the son of the supreme God, Olodumare, or Olorun, sent by him from heaven to create the earth. Descending from the heavens via a chain let down to Ile Ife, Odùduwà brought with him a chicken, some soil in a snail shell and a calabash. After throwing the soil upon the waters, he set the cock on the soil eho in turn scratched and scattered it around to create the rest of dry land that became the Earth's surface. Odùduwà subsequently became the first Ooni of Ife, and then sent his sons out with crowns to rule over all of the other Yorùbá kingdoms, which is why all royal Yorùbá lineages claim direct descent from Odùduwà and refer to the Ooni of Ife as primus inter pares.Ile Ife is regarded by Yoruba's as their spiritual capital.

Stolen, Scattered Legacy of Oduduwa by TheJusticeSekeer(thejusticeseekers.com)
The importance of Legacy of Oduduwa has been lost along the ages. The image of the great Oduduwa has been tarnished by generations in different attempts to deconstruct the heritage of Yoruba Africa.
The meaning of Oduduwa is encoded in Ge 12:3!
Odu = Something from which another thing is made simply Matrix
Du = To do or make
Wa = Human existence.
Oduduwa = Someone from whom existence of mankind is made.
During the invasion of Arab Muslim in Africa in 6th century, the legacy of Oduduwa was stolen by the Muslim. They tagged Oduduwa as a banished prince because of Idolatory as he attempt to change all the Mosque in Mecca to shrine of orishas. Another man Braima or Ibraim was the one who destroy the idols and Oduduwa was banished from Mecca.
However, the introduction of the character Braima does not exist. The first Muslim was Mohammed in 1948 over 3000 years before the legend. They later claimed Braima or Ibrahim as one of the founding fathers of Isalm which the Jews transfuse to abrahama as their founding father. However, both are robbers.
Oduduwa was the one who destroyed the idols. He was the one who fought against Lamurudu, Namrud of the kuran or Nimrod of the bible.
Oduduwa was called OMOLUABI; Son of Noah becaue he was adopted by Noa for 39 years when impious LamuruduNamrud/Nimrod wanted to kill him
His grandson Oranmiyan is the man Moses.
Oranmiyan means A son whose destiny was decided by water.
Oranmiyan had a staff with which he divided the Nile. It was the Reed Sea or Nile that Israelites crossed not Red Sea. The Israelites came down to central Africa during the Exodus journey not up. They passed Ammon, Midian which were all East African colonies.
Moses first escaped to Cush or Sudan-Ethiopia before going to Midian. He was going southward not northward but the Vatican supressed the Cush journey in the bible mentioned just Midian.
The fate of the world started with Oduduwa at the beginning of the 3rd generation. The fate of the future rest in his descendant at the 4th generation after him. 99.999% of his children dont know who they are again. They have completely lost their identity because it has been stolen by Europe and America.
It must be returned soon as this is the key to absolute world peace.
