Please, white and Arab slaves should stay away.

There are different categories of people, but the most horrible set of people to ever exist are those who despise theirs to worship those who even enslaved them.
The worst set of people you can come across are the close minded people. Someone who is close minded and gullible is the worst crime against the universe.

Why I am warning idiots to stay off this thread, it’s so sad that you as a black man hate your own, call your own evil and cannot even think beyond your empty head. Anything that has to do with you, you call it evil and rather worship something that has absolutely nothing to do with you.
The Bible you worship never mentioned your culture or land or anything to do with you, the Quaran you read is even in Arabic. You have to learn Arabic to communicate with your own God

Well this thread is for those who are open minded and are thinkers. People who really want to know about their own most especially as a Yoruba person. A thread that explains the hidden truth about the Yoruba culture and wealth of knowledge the ancestors had.

One interesting fact.

The odu ifa..

There are 256 odu ifa in total, same 256 binary numbers we have

It’s interesting to know that binary codes is the basis of computer today and it’s essentially a means of communicating with the computer, there are 256 binary codes in total.

The 256 odu ifa is also a means the ancestors use to communicate with their creator to get answers and guidance in life.

Here’s the thing, the 256 odu ifa ed from the wise ancestors are same codes we have with the 256 computer codes.

Now, how did your ancestors who you assume were dumb or evil able to arrive at 256 binary codes


Basic Units:
Odu Ifa: The Odu Ifa are based on combinations of single and double lines, which can be compared to binary digits. A single line (|) can be seen as analogous to binary 1, and a double line (||) as binary 0.
Binary Codes: Binary codes use combinations of 0s and 1s to encode information. Each binary digit (bit) represents a state: 0 or 1.

Odu Ifa are the sacred texts and divine messages of the Ifa divination system, a traditional religion and spiritual practice of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Each Odu Ifa contains wisdom, teachings, stories, proverbs, and advice that are used in divination to provide guidance and insight into various aspects of life. The Odu Ifa are considered to be the foundation of the Ifa system, encoming the entirety of its knowledge and spiritual principles.

Structure of Odu Ifa
Principal Odu Ifa:
There are 16 principal or major Odu Ifa, which form the basis of the entire system. These are:
1. Eji Ogbe. ———
2. Oyeku Meji
3. Iwori Meji
4. Odi Meji
5. Irosun Meji
6. Owonrin Meji
7. Obara Meji
8. Okanran Meji
9. Ogunda Meji
10. Osa Meji
11. Ika Meji
12. Oturupon Meji
13. Otura Meji
14. Irete Meji
15. Ose Meji
16. Ofun Meji

Combination Odu Ifa:
Each of the 16 principal Odu can combine with each other to form 256 Odu Ifa (16 x 16 = 256). These combinations expand the depth and breadth of the Ifa teachings and are used in more detailed and specific divinations.

All the 256 odu Ifa is same 256 binary codes all represented. No difference! From 0000 to 1111

The I represent 0 while II represent 1

So for example, the first Odu Ifa called Eji Ogbe = 0000

I will share the interesting similarities this odu Ifa have with modern scientific theories of how the universe was formed.

A brainwashed black man will need to learn Arabic before communicating with his God or maybe begin to read about Adam and Eve, children of Israel, the land of Judah.. when he has his own way of life written in his own language and understanding and what relates directly with him and his existence. How babaric

Let’s start with the First Odu Eji Ogbe.

Don’t let anybody fool you, your ancestors weren’t evil and there’s nothing evil about your culture, rather, they were people of high spiritual wisdom and awareness. That was why they were more peaceful and led a life of meaning and dignity compared to what we have today.

I want to compare Eji Ogbe to modern science, physics and cosmology.

Eji Ogbe is the first and represented as zero.

Let’s dive into what zero means in other fields

The concept of zero is relevant to cosmology in several ways.

Zero-energy universe
The Big Bang Theory states that the universe began with a massive explosion of energy and light, which some physicists believe produced equal amounts of positive and negative energy. Positive energy includes matter and light, while negative energy is stored in the gravitational attraction between positive-energy particles. According to this theory, the positive and negative energy always add up to zero, with the negative energy stored in space

Eji Ogbe (0000) and the Concept of the Universe

The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe came into existence from a big bang and light was born

Similarly, Eji Ogbe is the first and most powerful Odu and it is associated with the beginning of existence, the creation of the universe, and the emergence of order from chaos. It is the initial act of creation, bringing the universe into existence from a state of non-being.

This Odu is represented by light emerging from darkness and order arising from chaos.


Creation and Light: Eji Ogbe is often seen as the beginning of creation, representing the primordial light that brought life and order into existence.

Clarity and Enlightenment: This Odu emphasizes the importance of understanding and wisdom, guiding individuals to seek truth and clarity in their lives.

Good Character (Iwa Pele): it speaks of the need of maintaining good character and ethical behavior to achieve harmony and success.

Destiny and Fulfillment: It speaks to fulfilling one's destiny through righteous actions and adherence to divine principles.

When someone with bad intentions come to you instead of you to chase them away you aid them

I have a question does it mean that God answers the bad prayers too?
Or
You help them based on the principle of free will
That the consequences will still come back to their heads
So if you saw a child drowning you will let him drown because you don’t know what he was doing in the water in the first place?
Hmmm

Everybody life begin the day they let the light of God into their hearts
Same way our universe started
Until then we’re stuck in a loop of death and rebirth

So you mean the whiteman stole binary codes from Ile Ife.. Wow
