Yoruba and Yorubic People (in Scientific Perspective: THE EGYPTIAN FACTOR

By Mr Oritseweyinmi Oghanrandukun Olomu St.Ifa

Although this work is up to 100% History; nevertheless, it is a history removed -removed from the commonality of of History. Today, History as a discipline has become controversial, owing to such problems as Nationality, Party Spirit and History and propanganda (Ifediora 1982). This is a work to trace the origin of Yoruba to its true point, the origin of Yoruba and its kindred peoples. But in a period prone to arguments in the course of human trip, in course of man's trip towards "Emotional Amoralism Egoism," History, real and objective history, cannot escape the jaws of envy, leading to History being suspect to the end. "Emotional Amoral Egoism" is "Emotional Self-Interest" in which man behaves contrary to his vaginal perculiarity. This is a result of man's activities by way of "... stability, security, peace, cooperation, justice, ..., identity construction, transcultural relations, conflict, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, morality and global governance" (Rhodan 2009). Man's actions and counter-actions in line with the above issues leads to the creation in History of Civilisational Triumphalism (Rhodan 2009). The whole process, directed towards boosting the dignity of man against man, leads to "sustainable history" (same). Thus, this tendency - Dignity of Man and man's desire for it, on the one hand, and the emergence of Amoralism, as a reaction against the tendency of another man to boost his dignity, on the other - helps to produce historical contents and history books that are deceptive. It also helps to produce and direct woeful criticisms against sincere works of history: deception on the head of deception! It is in recognition of this position that the Yoruba Scientific and Literary Society was founded, armed with scienceness, a sturborn arsenal. This group poises to produce history injected with objectivity and laden with scientificity to keep lying man, envious opponent, and those who quarrel without knowing why they do so silent, and in their silence, allow the world to see truth as truth, not quarreling without knowing why - like the Ephesians against Paul (Acts 19:32). In scholarship the efforts to establish Yorubic historical supremacy prove most chimerical due to the general inadequacy of scholarship, on the one hand, and the inadequacy of scholars' efforts to right this wrong, on the other. This is not a result of the contents of History as it relates to Yoruba, but really because the interest to learn History, generally, and Yorubic history particularly, is scantier in general Yorubic scholarship. Scantier grows the world, therefore, in this regard! This position, producing History's inability to make man see the past in order to undeestand the future, has in part, inspired the origin and growth of this study. This book does not purport to be a definitive work on Yoruba. For by the end of the work, the study of the lump of the history, social studies, sociology, economy, polity, and philosophy of Yoruba, far from ending, would have just begun. In fact, no one can think or boast of such accomplishments. No one can think of having exhausted all the important things about these 40,000000 people, people well over the population of Togo, Senegal and all else. Once in a frenzy of passion, a man holds his pen writing on a subject and say: "I have Exhausted It," it is not the subject that is exhausted, but man himself (Honsbira 2012 in Ireyefoju 1982, following Pynne 1970).
