Controversial History of Yoruba and The Story of World Creation From Ile Ife
Just like other ethnic groups in Nigeria, the history of the Yoruba people is still subject to controversy. There are however several versions of the origin of the Yoruba people. The most contentious is the one that traces the origin to the “East”. This is basically due to the similarities between the culture of the Yoruba and the Egyptians in terms of religious observances, works of art, burial, and other traditional practices. In this regard, it is believed that the Yoruba probably migrated from Egypt to their present location about 2000-1000 B. C.. This version was popularised by Rev. Samuel
