How can I forsake my father's farm/land (my source)to toil on someone else's? 🤷♀️
They said that I should depart from my Òrìsà and embrace foreign gods.
Can we start a trend where you just randomly ask about any Odu Ifa you will like to know about and I will reply with its chant (Ese Ifa)🤨.
If you want reply in English, you ask in English and vice versa.
RESPONSE TO ATTEMPTED DISTORTION OF HISTORICAL FACTS ON IFÁ AND ÒRÌṢÀ
In an interview, a Nollywood actor, Peter Fatomilola among other things said the following :-
1. I am a real Babaláwo not fake

Dear men listen up,
The OONI of Ife was always having issues in his previous marriages. He had two FAILED marriages despite being the most powerful monarch in Yorubaland. READ THAT AGAIN!

"Are you a Babalawo?"
I regularly receive this question.
No, I am not a Babalawo.
I am an Ifa scholar and practitioner.
People have assumed that Ifa scholarship and practice is simply about "Awo," secrecy, and spirituality, even religion.
This cannot be further from the

OUR FOREFATHERS WERE HIGHLY PRAGMATIC AND SAPIENT.

It will definitely be memorable.
Take this as a glimpse of how the festival runs but come this year to experience it firsthand.
As it’s a month to ESU day, let’s talk about Esu odara. Long thread:

Olodumare is not Allah

Call them what your tutor told you.
Not at any point did Olodumare says he chose Yoruba and discriminated others.
Not at any point did Olodumare commanded us directly or through his Orisas to kill those that do not believe in Isese.

Every religion has its unique way of connecting with the supreme. Christians communicate with God through Jesus Christ, while Muslims reach out to Allah. In the context of the Yoruba traditional religion,

Yoruba spirituality portrays that while coming from Ikole Orun (Heaven), every individual receive Ayanmo/Kadara (destiny) before coming to Earth. However, at the last point of entry into Ikole aye, we all embrace a tree called Igi Igbagbe (Tree of Forgetfulness).

Oba Solomon is re-energising!!!
I just wonder why they never showed the faces of the self-aclaimed àwo, maybe they don't want sanction from the isese community.
Every time I hear someone remark, "Baba, everything you did for me turned out well; I need to give thanks," I feel full and incredibly grateful. I am privileged to have the chance to assist Olodumare, and as a result, I thank him through Ifa.
Acceptance of new religions has changed alot in the Yoruba community, this includes loss of cultural identity, customs, beliefs, and practices which in turn lead to loss of cultural heritage and a weakening sense of identity.
The great Prof Sophie Oluwole compared Socrates and Orunmila. This comparison reveal different words of wisdom. Watch it and drop any wisdom you find in the comment section.
ÌTẸFÁ/IFA INITIATION

Power of Partnership

SOME OF WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ÌSẸ̀SE
1. Cultural Preservation: Ìsẹ̀se is deeply rooted in the Yoruba culture and traditions, emphasizing the preservation of cultural heritage, rituals, and practices.
In the Yoruba religion of Ìsẹ̀se, women are revered as Orisas, orisa of immense power and influence. This elevated status reflects the belief that while men possess the power to act decisively, women hold the unique ability to shape and influence outcomes in profound ways.
In
Ọ̀kan ṣoṣo ni Olódùmarè.
It is known, not formulated, right from time immemorial, that OLÓDÙMARÈ is one in ÌSẸ̀SE. OLÓDÙMARÈ has no competitor or antagonists. Every orisa listen to him and do his bidding.
As a reminder, ọ̀kansoso ni Olódùmarè.
Religion has conditioned us to always rebuke odd situations in the name of God but trust me, God will not forbid, you have to forestall.
