1. After ascending the throne as their king he created a beaded crown and a wooled crown that covers the face calling it (Ade Nla),the purpose was to cover his identity from whoever comes from igodomigodo to lle ife because before oduduwa,business has been going on with people of igodomigodo and lle ife, oduduwa didn’t start our friendship or connection.the yoruba’s cannot explain why he created such crown for himself
2. On getting to lle ife e told the people that questioned his origin that he was from the sky kings(Ogiso of Igodo(Benin) which they twisted to be he descended from the sky.
3. He took the cock as a symbol on top his staff(because the cock’s blood was used to replace his own blood in igodomigodo (Benin) while he was sentenced to death,he couldn’t help but reverend cockerel at lle ife( lle ife people does not have a relevant meaning to the cock)
4. He brought a very big bag with him which he took along with him from ughoton(uruókhokho) after he created the osagbaye of olokun ,he was a very spiritual inclined prince ,that bag is fact but only the royals of lle ife can attest to this (his statue is still at ughoton where he was holding the bag)
5. The small rattle staff he was holding was from Igodomigodo (Benin)which his father’s the Ogiso owodo was also using, he took it along from same ughoton(uruókhokho) it was called (Akháse) for commanding powers,saying prayers and summoning ancestors,this is an alien thing to the whole Yoruba as a people(this is why it is only seen in the hands of kings from the lineage of oduduwa at a great event) note that the rattle staff has a longer and a shorter one,the longer ones are seen in the house of every Edo or Benin people today for summoning the ancestors during prayers (ukhúré)(the lle ife people adopted it as they claimed oduduwa to be their god on earth so it has spread far and wide among all today Yoruba as a whole
6. Ifa identified Oduduwa as a stranger from the East (east of lle ife is Igodomigodo (Benin)
Oduduwa learnt their then language for 18 years+( he met people without a proper government at ife and he faught the invaders attacking the then lle ife people,this is to say he wasn’t the progenitor of Yoruba as a whole but he has his blooded lineage at lle ife(same lineage migrated far and wide) today Yoruba people existed thousands of years at today’s western Nigeria before oduduwa existed,he was just an organizer of a proper government of kingship for the people…..Seê _ Morê
