The Yoruba, considered one of the most developed groups of the West Africa, have a long history whose beginning took place in Ile-Ife, where, according their traditions, the creation of the world occured. The ancestor of all Yoruba, and father of all their dinasties was Oduduwa (Odu ti o da wa, "The Chief who created the being"). The wife of Oduwa was Omonide, who gave him seven children, two daughters and five sons. Afterwards, their sons and grandsons spread throughout the world, funding cities and becoming kings
