We urge the sons and daughters of the Yoruba land to embrace the wisdom of leasing lands in the Yoruba land instead of selling them, for the sake of the future generation. This is the par for the course around the world. Thank you for the thrilling video of the most aesthetic palace in the Garden of Love.
Glad you enjoyed and I hope foreign countries and businesses aren’t buying the resources of Yoruba land to make themselves richer and not help the people of the land
The Benin kingmakers sought a king from Ile-Ife (Oromiyan) because his father, Oduduwa, also known as Ekaladeran, was a prince who was meant to inherit the throne from his father, the last Ogiso of Benin.
Dou...you are so fascinating.. you didn't give up, just like a dog with bones lol .. I salute your energy and focus and concentration.. I think I might influence you get a resident visa or permanent residency of Nigeria 🇳🇬.. Talk to Ooni of Ife, he loves to see you around again. Always keep the fire burning ...Roger on guys..
You all are having a nice time. That’s Amazing. Yes!!! I luv my country Nigeria,so creative and Amazing. I think I should do a vlog about dis too. So nice.
Thanks for showcasing Nigerian culture. Would you be taking a trip to Benin? I really would like to see guys like you. This us wonderful. Good job guys, wish you both good luck and health.
Stop using Nigeria culture, there’s nothing called Nigeria culture. It is Yoruba race culture not Nigeria. Nigeria is a slave name given to all the tribes in that geographical region, Nigeria name is business name for the British. Do you see the northern tribes mentioning Nigeria culture, they will say hausa culture or Kanuri culture but not Nigeria culture. Please let us stop mentioning Nigeria culture but ( Yoruba culture, heritage, language). Eledumare will continue to change our perspective on illustration of culture. Thank you
Yes it was great to learn some of their history, we spoke to those priests for almost two hours but unfortunately couldn’t put it all in the video because it would have been much too long
Saying Oduduwa was not birthed is ridiculous. The Yorubas do not know his past that is why the Benin Prince origin story is the most believable and most sensible.
Correction, not ooni of all Yoruba land , he's the ooni of ife and osun state, other states have their own king, we have the oba of Lagos, alaafin of Oyo, oba of Benin kingdom,obi of Onitsha which is the biggest king in the whole Eastern part of Nigeria while in the north we have the emir's and sultans
Oh the way it was explained to us at the palace is that the Ooni of Ife is the high king of all other Yoruba kings and chiefs??? Yes we had an appointment to meet the Oba of Benin kingdom but unfortunately our driver left the night before without telling us and left us in Benin city.
@@JustLifeTravels There has always been a problem of superiority in Nigeria Obas. Oba of Benin isn't secondary to Oni Ife. If you go to the Benin Kingdom, you will hear a different story because of this superiority tussle.
@@JustLifeTravels Those you meant were probably indigenes not the real tourist guide in the palace. If they were the one you met it would have been interesting asides most of them speak English fluently to relate with tourists.
The oral tradition is what I hate most about precolonial yoruba history. It's usually biased and sounds like fairy tales. I just hope good historians will be able to decipher those myths and legends and come out with a good sketch of the true history...🙏
It’s still very interesting to learn, it’s always good to hear the historical biases because that in itself can help you learn their cultural history. I’d love to know plenty more of the history of a few places in Nigeria
@@JustLifeTravels you should have asked him who named Lagos Eco" or why was Lagos called Eco" Benin has being existing before Ife and Benin's are the ones that named Lagos Eco" also gave a king to the Yoruba's.
This man in white talking doesn't know what he was saying. Oduduwa was never the first king in ile Ife. It has been 63 kings gone before oduduwa become king. Even some history said, it was 90 kings installed in ife before oduduwa. So never say, oduduwa was the first king again
@@JustLifeTravels ooni of ife is not greater than the Oba of Benin. Get to benin City and hear the true story of which the yorubas have not been able to refute
Is either benin like it or not Yoruba is the father of Benin. And Benin people should not forget that they are under Yorubas and we av the same father which is oduduwa .

Thank you for this documentary that’s the origin
No problem! The Yoruba origin story is so interesting and was so great to learn!
Wow Nigeria has lots of History. After your tour I recommend you travel to Ghana
We definitely plan on visiting Ghana in the future!
Wow! I really love the effort you guys put in your videos.
Never give up hard-work pays
Thank you! We really enjoyed Nigeria
If you don’t mind. I’d love to take you on a tour around Nigeria

Thanks a lot, I am happy this video is still contributing to my knowledge even to this day!
Awesome. This is a great history of Yorubaland.
Thank you I was extremely happy they took the time to teach us!
I wish they trained guides to showcase our history, at present these men just waffle.
Yes it would be nice to have learned a little more but the tour was not an official tour, it was a favor
@@JustLifeTravels thanks for taken the time to respond
@@abuafrica no problem!

Thank you! Yes we really try to get the best experience we can and we had an amazing one in Nigeria we both will definitely be back!
You all are having a nice time.
That’s Amazing.
Yes!!!
I luv my country Nigeria,so creative and Amazing.
I think I should do a vlog about dis too.
So nice.
You should give it a try! Lots of things to show there
Thanks for showcasing Nigerian culture. Would you be taking a trip to Benin?
I really would like to see guys like you. This us wonderful.
Good job guys, wish you both good luck and health.
Yes in our next trip out we hope to see Ghana Benin and Togo!
The Benin I'm referring to is Edo state Nigeria just to be clear. Thanks

ILE IFE is the ancestral home, origin, and source of the Yoruba people across the globe. They believe life started from ILE IFE.
Yes it was great to learn some of their history, we spoke to those priests for almost two hours but unfortunately couldn’t put it all in the video because it would have been much too long
You guys just keeps getting better. Good Job
Thank you! We are glad you are enjoying!
Happy you guys are exploring my country, I'd love to see y'all before you leave
Unfortunately we already left! But we hope to return and see the remaining states later on. We made it to 13 so far
Saying Oduduwa was not birthed is ridiculous. The Yorubas do not know his past that is why the Benin Prince origin story is the most believable and most sensible.
Yes it was a strange detail, but I am not an expert so I could not question it, I am glad people in the comments have been helping us learn a bit more
The "e" in Ife is pronounced like the "e" in "wet" not the "e" in day. Hope you guys had a nice time at the Ooni's palace.
Yes we really enjoyed the experience! Thank you for the tip!
There is no e in day
@@zeeone4492 what?
@@zeeone4492 Phonetic long "e"
Ife ooye
What’s ooye mean?
Wow
I hope you enjoyed?
Thanks for the documentary
Hope you enjoyed watching as much as we did visiting!
Correction, not ooni of all Yoruba land , he's the ooni of ife and osun state, other states have their own king, we have the oba of Lagos, alaafin of Oyo, oba of Benin kingdom,obi of Onitsha which is the biggest king in the whole Eastern part of Nigeria while in the north we have the emir's and sultans

Mr man go and read history properly.Ooni is the head of all the kings in Yoruba land.
You are not Yoruba so you cannot speak for Yorubas. he is actually the Ooni of all Yoruba lands
@@bolanle2954 Okay
@@JustLifeTravels There has always been a problem of superiority in Nigeria Obas. Oba of Benin isn't secondary to Oni Ife. If you go to the Benin Kingdom, you will hear a different story because of this superiority tussle.
There are many king in Yoruba land also but ooni was the highest of them all
Yes we meet one Chief, much smaller than the Ooni. He was a very Humble and kind man.
This video makes me remember Arabs Mecca. Looks almost the same practice.
Very interesting! You visited Mecca? Was it nice visiting?
@@JustLifeTravels no. Bcuz their religion and traditions has been forced on many places in Africa. We learnt about them.
The title of oonie its not by father to son ,they choose fron different family members,
That very interesting history i wish they had told us
They have two or three rulings house who they choose from.
Thank you
@@JustLifeTravels They have four ruling houses Osinkola, Ogbooru, Lafogido and Giesi where the present Ooni Ogunwusi came from.
@@ultimate4355 interesting I don’t remember that being mentioned thank you!
@@JustLifeTravels Those you meant were probably indigenes not the real tourist guide in the palace. If they were the one you met it would have been interesting asides most of them speak English fluently to relate with tourists.
So they allowed a random foreign vlogger enter the Palace and won't allow a random Nigerian vlogger enter? Wao!
Did a Nigerian vlogger go and get turned away? We had a friend with us who knew the head of security there
@@JustLifeTravels yes they do. I see, security man's friend..that's why you were able to go in🙂. Lucky you.
@@abio7264 yes we got extremely lucky!
With the way this man on white dey display u go just know say na lie he dey give that guy

Which part so I can see??
@@JustLifeTravels towards the end. The statue with white face
Okay thank you!
They did conquer benin kingdom, the yourobs always give fake histry
What’s the time stamp of what he said? So I can rewatch that part
The Benin is the one in Nigeria
@@JustLifeTravels you should have asked him who named Lagos Eco" or why was Lagos called Eco" Benin has being existing before Ife and Benin's are the ones that named Lagos Eco" also gave a king to the Yoruba's.
The man don't even know is story
@@badboytizs7139 It's a lie... But y is it that you Benin people like argument? See is either u like it or not Yoruba is the father of Benin.

Thank you for the correction!
That late onnii is not the father of this current oonie, it's show how they lie , fabricate history
I looked it up your right, interesting that they would say anything different at the palace
@@JustLifeTravels they have three ruling house that they pick from , the late oonie was from.a different ruling house.
@@classicman1981 no it is four ruling houses Osinkola,Ogbooru,Lafogido and Giesi where the present Ooni Ogunwusi came from.
Bloody liar, the king was a prince from Benin kingdom go read about it, he is say he had black and white skin? You believe that liar..
I think he means Vitiligo that is something that happens
You don't even know story of what you are saying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you don't know your story
The priests at the sacred grove of ife?
Fake history ,lie lie
Which part are you saying is wrong?
@@JustLifeTravels ooni of ife is not greater than the Oba of Benin. Get to benin City and hear the true story of which the yorubas have not been able to refute
They are not talking about Benin the Country, they are talking about the Nigerian Benin kingdom, I hope you know that
Is either benin like it or not Yoruba is the father of Benin. And Benin people should not forget that they are under Yorubas and we av the same father which is oduduwa .
How? You people should learn how to be modest in all your contributions.what is the meaning of lie lie.
