Ọ̀YỌ́ EMPIRE WAS IFẸ̀ EXTENSION!! What they twisted to Ọ̀yọ́ empire was Ifẹ̀ extention through Ọ̀rànmíyàn and other Ifẹ̀ warriors in their days and that was why Ọ̀rànmíyàn returned back to Ifẹ̀ after he finished his assignment. The task was given to him by Ọbàlùfọ̀n Ogbogbodirin. Ọ̀rànmíyàn was like an ambassador for ancient Ifẹ̀. He was sent out to oversea all the settlements of ancient Ifẹ̀ people. Ọ̀yọ́ ilé was like a refuge place initially which later became community after many people in those areas came to seek refuge there. After Ọ̀yọ́ ilé began to increase in population. He put his son Ajaka in charge as overseer and he further proceeded to Ketu present Benin republic to oversea what was going on there. He also went to Popo.
After he finished his assignment, he came back home to Ilé Ifẹ̀ to give feedback to Ọbàlùfọ̀n Ogbogbodirin who sent him on the assignment. He realised that Ogbogbodirin was no longer on the throne and was replaced with Aláyémọrẹ and that was why he gave Aláyémọrẹ order to vacate the throne before his arrival at Ilé Ifẹ̀ of which Aláyémọrẹ vacated the throne for him.
We can see see how Ọ̀yọ́túnjí history was twisted that the founder was Alaafin Àtìbà son who was sold into slavery. They forgot that Ọ̀yọ́túnjí people knew their history. They even lied that bàbá Alaafin àná was Ọ̀yọ́túnjí patron when bàbá never visited Ọ̀yọ́túnjí throughout his days on earth. They went as far as changing Oloyotunji Wikipedia that he did his ìtẹ̀fá at Ọ̀yọ́ instead of Abẹ́òkúta. They said he came to Ọ̀yọ́ for coronation instead of Ifẹ̀. The reason why they couldn't succeed to twist Ọ̀yọ́túnjí history is because of social media publication, videos, date and time. Sameway the ancient Ifẹ̀ descendant expansion was twisted to Ọ̀yọ́ empire. The word empire or Emperor are alien to us. It is not possible for our forefathers to call Ọ̀yọ́ ilé empire when they never spoke English prekolnisation. The initial purpose of Ọ̀yọ́ soldiers was to protect the entire race from bàbá Ọ̀rànmíyàn.
Ọ̀rànmíyàn was a good father, a great hero who love the entire ọmọ Óótù ah jireh and that was why he gave his life down to oversea all our ancient settlements as far as the present Ghana. We can see how the good work of Ọ̀rànmíyàn has been twisted by manipulators.
If Samuel Johnson misled the entire race from his book. We can all as well join hand to correct his mistake.
Ọ̀rànmíyàn was never a crown king of Oyo Katunga. The first crown king was Shango Tela Òkò and that is why Ọ̀yọ́ are doing Ìpẹ̀bí Shango Alaafin rite till date.
Those babarisim history from Ọ̀yọ́ kings that we are not proud of came from Ẹ̀sìn ìmọ̀le. Ẹ̀sìn ìmọ̀le, ẹ̀sìn jàgídíjàgan, kí a jagun gba ilẹ̀ onílẹ̀ later polluted rich ọ̀yọ́ ilé culture and later destroy it.
We are grateful that Ọ̀rànmíyàn have a big family at Ifẹ̀ who have kept their father legacies and their family history since his departure.
All Ọ̀rànmíyàn descendant all over the world should visit Ifẹ̀ to be acquainted to their father house.
