IFATOKI IDIN SE :
Odùduwà was a Yoruba divine king, a creator deity in the Yoruba religion, and the legendary figure who ushered in the classical period that later led to the foundation of the Ife Empire. His earthly origins are from the village of Oke Ora.

Meta-Truth :
The Iborisha that Yoruba people practice today was brought by oduduwa. All the Yoruba pantheons - Ogun, Ifa, Esu, Obatala etc, were all Oduduwa’s idea

Adesanjo :
When we say someone is the father of a tribe or a nation, it does not necessarily mean that he was the first person to establish that tribe or that he biologically gave birth to everyone in it.
The title may be based on his legendary status, historical contributions, leadership, or role in shaping the identity and development of that people.
For example, Kintu is regarded as a founding figure of the Baganda people in Uganda, just as Odùduwà is regarded as a progenitor and foundational figure in Yorùbá tradition.
Therefore, calling someone the father of a tribe or nation does not automatically mean that he literally gave birth to everyone belonging to that group. It may simply reflect his historical, cultural, or legendary significance in the origin and development of that people.

Oduduwa was a stranger in Ife and was never descended from heaven.
Oduduwa was not the only father of Yoruba. we have Obatala and Orunmila.

The narrator mixed the date of Lamorudu/Ibrahim with the beginning of Islam. ie Odudua most come from Mecca,around 2500 yrs as archeology indicated..
