ODUDUWA I(A)


Title:
ODUDUWA I(A)

Description:
Another attempt to tell Yoruba history. This is done in English and it aims to tell one of many versions of the father of Yoruba, Oduduwa. The Yoruba themselves believe Oduduwa came directly from heaven, the historians have several versions; he came from Mecca, from the Middle East, from Edoland. If you want another view, you may consult "The History of Yorubas" By Rev Samuel Johnson. He, too, has some interesting things to say about these several attempts to trace the history of the undisputed father of yoruba. Meanwhile, enjoy this movie with several notable actors.

This is a historical movie by Kola Oyewo. It is about the attempts of specific yoruba towns to rid themselves of the excesses of their Ibadan overlords. Brief history: Most yoruba country prior to mid 19th century was controlled by the Alafin who was the head of Oyo Empire. According to Samuel Johnson in "The History of Yorubas" at the peak of its power, Oyo empire stretched from west of River Niger to "as far as Ashanti and included the Gas of Accra.." In the 19th Century however, Old Oyo was sacked by the Fulanis and citizens of Oyo spread across Yoruba country and finally settled on Egba farm later called Ibadan. It is from here that the Yoruba put up a fierce battle against the Fulanis and stopped their progression into the rest of Yoruba country. If Ibadan became the center of Yoruba power against external aggression, it also developed an aggressive control of other yoruba towns. Kola Oyewo in this movie shows how these towns challenged the Ibadans and fought for their independence. Enjoy.
