Alaafin of Oyo visit to the Sultan of Sokoto, before visiting Ooni of Ife, dashed hopes of Alaafin stool retrieval & returned to its originating civilization.

Alaafin is a vassal of Sokoto Caliphate, not of Ooni of Ife! The new Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, visit to the Sultan of Sokoto, the head of the Afro-Arabic civilization, before visiting Ooni of Ife, the leader of the Indigenous African civilization of South and Middlebelt, dashed renewed hopes that Oyo Alaafin stool has been retrieved and returned to its originating civilization. Instead of going to Ife to collect the Oranmiyan Sword of office, he went to Sokoto. The hidden civilizational subterfuge of 200yrs is now being revealed. In 1835, Oyo Empire was destroyed by Afro-Arabic civilizational imperialists. Two years later, in 1837, the Ilorin Afro-Arabic civilization imperialists that took over from Afonja enthroned the Atiba lineage as Alaafin of Oyo, with a caveat that all subsequent Alaafins had to be Muslim that are subjective to Afro-Arabic civilization, thereby overriding Oyo Alaafin subservience to Ife that created it. Before the beginning of the end of Oyo Empire, Oyo could not verbally or militarily assault Ife, but by 1849 Ile Ife was invaded by Oyo-Ibadan armies while never challenging the Afro-Arabic civilization that destroyed it and took over Yorubalands in Ilorin and Oyo Ile. If not for the Ekiti Parapo, the philosophical and spiritual fountain of the Original African civilization, the Ibadan Oyos would have captured the entire sphere for the Afro-Arabic civilization. Most Orisas, the cyclical spiritual and philosophical essences, of the Original African civilization - Orunmila, Esu, Ogun, Osun, Osanyin etc all originated from the Ekiti-Ijesha-Akure axis, making them the last bulwark of civilizational defence. Despite the defeat of the Oyo-Ibadan Afro-Arabic civilizational imperialists by the Ekiti, the Oyos continued to undermine their originating civilization, claiming supremacy through epistemicide, fighting proxy wars through the likes of Modakeke, and continuously disparaging the Ooni of Ife till today. In 2019 ASHE Foundation called the late Alaafin Adeyemi to order when he attacked Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi for rightly claiming that Igbos and all indigenous Africans came from Ife or shared the same genetic and cultural values. Alaafin Adeyemi falsely claimed that Yorubas never had any relationship with their Igbo neighbors for the tens of thousands years that they had been neighbors until the advent of the British colonial Nigeria. Instead, he claimed we only had relationships with the Northern Afro-Arabic civilization, a ploy to disintegrate the Original African civilization in favor of their Afro-Arabic conquerors. The corruption of Oyo that eventually led to its 1835 final collapse started with the 1520s Nupe Islamists invasion that chased the Royal court to Igboho in Ibariba, a Fulani subgroup that mixed and took over indigenous African traditional institutions. The 1415 European invasion of Ceuta Morocco pushed Afro-Arabians towards the core of the indigenous African civilization in what became Nigeria. Coming down the River Niger, they took over Hausa, Gur and Nupe lands before entering Oyo, where Ife civilizational stock was slowly withered down with Afroasiatic migrants that first come as traders then clerics that engineer Jihad revolutions to take over power. The painful part is that those called Yoruba have been decivilized by the British colonists to keep them mentally enslaved in order not to understand what was really happening in the world. Yorubas and other Original Africans were decivilized because they could no longer identify their civilization, being the common genetic and cultural origins and values they shared with other tribes. The Original African civilization is a continuum of dialects and cultural values that spread out of Ife to Southern Africa. There are four civilizations in the world - Original African, European, Afroasiatic and Asian. For a civilization to advance progressively, its people must have a high collective intelligence, meaning a higher percentage of the people know, understand and accept their collective narrative from origins to collective aspirations. Though Yorubas and Igbos, the two most populous Indigenous African peoples, have one of the worlds highest individual intelligence ratios, they have very low collective intelligence due to the Abrahamic epistemicide or debasement of their traditional knowledge systems necessary for a narrative on origins. Starting with slavery, when Europeans dumped over 400,000 guns on our coast to forment war and war captives to be used as slaves, those who took the weapons to build empires like Oyo, Benin, Igala and others, were later used to balkanize the Ife civilization into tribes during colonization. The beginning of British colonization with the 1861 capture of Lagos, and most important the translation of the English Bible into Oyo dialect was the beginning of a new 165 yr cycle of consciousness based on coloniality that derailed and balkanized the Ifa-Afa-Iha-Fa-Efa Original African civilization whose source was Ife, into smaller divisive tribes. As an Original African civilizational bloc with high collective intelligence, they would have easily challenged both Western European and Afroasiatic civilizational imperialism and colonization. So the British choose a single dialect in each subregion to be the standard language of their new tribal constructs. The Onitsha dialect was chosen to be the standard language of those to be identified as Igbo. Up until then, all Igbo monarchs called Obi wore crowns that could be traced to Ife Odua via Edo. With the two most populous Original African subregions at the core of the civilization divided into tribes, the center could no longer hold and things fell apart as the rest of the civilization was broken into 2240 ethnicities by the European colonists. The replacement of the Original African civilization perceptive with Pan Tribalistic perspectives was not only done with the Bible, but institutionalized with the cutting off of over 300 Original African groups to add them to the Afro-Arabic Northern Protectorate in 1914, and the breakup of the Original African Southern Protectorate into West and East regions to pit Yoruba and Igbo against each other. Due to the fear of imposing Afro-Arabic civilizational imperialists, Original Africans adopted a Christianity shield with the hope that it will protect them from Afroasiatic cultural annihilation, ignorant that both Afroasiatic and European civilizations were products of the Abrahamic civilization that overwhelmed and adapted the Original African civilization in Egypt, Original Africans frontier empire. In Egypt, the Coptic Christians handed over the Egyptian army to invading Afro-Arabic armies for a share in the rulership and exploitation of Original Africans in Egypt, which ultimately led to the annihilation of Original African Egyptians after which the Islamists routed the Coptic Christians that enabled them. The Christian umbrella adopted by South and Middlebelt peoples can never unite and empower Original Africans to liberation. Never. When push comes to shove, Afroasiatic and European civilizationalists will fall back on shared genetic and cultural traits from Abraham as opposed to Oduduwa civilization split by regional prebendalism. The Christian hierarchy can never adopt an all out war against Afro-Arabic herdsmen since that is how Abraham and his descendants took Black Egypt and turned North Africa into light-skinned land. Until Original Africans are recivilized to increase their collective intelligence to enable them unite as a civilization, they will continue to have their economic and political development arrested. The Original African tribes will never have the numbers to challenge for power unless their unhinged politicians agree to the Northern Afro-Arabic hegemons and European powers. Oyo and Iwo monarchs will continue to sabotage any efforts that brings the South and Middlebelt Original African peoples together. Some apologists argue that the new Alaafin was just ignorant and not subversive of the Original African civilization by visiting the Sultan of Sokoto via the Jagaban (Chief Warrior) of the Borgu, Fulani subgroup. They say its just the normal quest for money and power. This might be true but it also brings the weakness of the Original African civilization led by Ooni of Ife to focus. If we had not been colonized and decivilized, most importantly if we had rebuilt our civilizational economics, the Ooni of Ife and the rest of the paramount monarchs of the civilization, should have called the New Alaafin indoors and given him billions to help him settle into power. But just as we can't retain our graduates, assets and alliances from straying into other spheres due to economic power, the civilizational conscious Northern Afro-Arabians rushed financial and political help to secure the Alaafin on their side like the Oluwo of Iwo, who has taken every opportunity to disparage Orisas and other tenets of the Indigenous African civilization. In a previous article written that welcomed the new Alaafin for being chosen by Ifa, it was pointed out that this is the beginning of a new 165 year cycle as Olokun moves into the house of Ogun, ending the cycle that started in 1861 when the Islamic reorganization of Alaafin rites led to the Ijaye war and ultimately the sixteen year Kiriji War, the longest civil war over the conscience of the Yoruba and Indigenous African civilization. The question is should the Yorubas expect another war to either be liberated or annihilated from the claws of the Afro-Arabic and Western imperialists, both who are sires of the Abrahamic civilization. The answer is in the script written by the Universe with a plot of Olokun and Obaluaye move to Ogun, Oya to Shango house, while Shango moves to Esu house.
