And it's the same Yoruba some headless islamists think they can force their devilish sharia law on,right? The Yoruba are not just another Africans; they're a special breeds -highly cultural, intelligent and sophisticated. You can take anything from the Yoruba,but never their culture! This is why a typical Yoruba will always be a Yoruba first before being a Muslim or a Christian - the Omoluabi ethos comes first.

Are Christians still celebrating other gods or are we emergency hypocrites?

HEAVEN4444:
esu is the trickster. Devil

Esu is a messenger of God in Yoruba belief but not an enemy of God .

He's the one that guard the gateway between heaven and earth . He provides food for other Orishas . He carries the punishment of God to those that sin .

HydraFeeds:
Great!

Association of Yorubas religion should lobby for a day dedicated to celebrating all the Orishas so that it can be more pronounced.

Also ,they need to fight for the Esu misrepresentation in Abrahamic religions .

Esu is not Satan/Devil .

The Esu character is mischievous, maybe that's why they drew the parallel. Interestingly, it sounds like how the Yorubas should call Jesus. The letter J has never been part of the Hebrew letters.

This is Amazing.
Nigeria needs to wake up.
It should start nuking idiots therein

If Osun state was serious, they could make so much money from Tourism by repackaging the Yoruba gods, and there are about 53 of them in total.

53 ? When Ile Ife alone has 355

They're almost the same but not the same because Esu is not an enemy of Olodumare and he doesn't do evil but carries the evil judgement of Olodumare to the sinners .

Lastly ,if we assume it's parallel,why's Jesus not called Orunmila ? Or Elijah called Sango ?

the devil is a messenger of God but not an enemy of God. He works with God to put punishment to those that sin. He and God are always discussing who needs to be punished ( book of job chapter 1 vs 5

The thing I have noticed about IFA and orisa Is that nobody knows what they are talking about about. Even so called IFA and orisa experts don't know what they are talking about about. To be astute in the orisas you have to master universal mythology and egyptology and the Bible and astrology amongst other disciplines without which you can never be a master in IFA and orisa

What so much could government do if the society for the supposed tourism is averse to it (e.g. Moslems stoning Obatala procession in Ile-Ife, the very home of the Obatala himself)?

There's need for education of the people first, I'd say. Most of our people are ignorant about the mythologies that follow the gods. E.g. Christians see them as idols. No, they are not idols, they are not carvings, they lived, and they are not worshipped per se. Practically, only their priests "worship" them. The Moslems proclaim there are no gods. "Shut it! There are gods, Gd's instruction was only to not worship them, not assign another besides".

Rauf Aregbesola introduced the teaching of Odu Ifa to secondary schools, and what did the Moslems do? Condemned it and called for its abolition, even Christians.


The gods were unique peoples or people with supernatural abilities or divine powers. They died, and similarly to the Jesus Christ, people continue to offer them their favorite foods (pray) in return for benefits based on the divine powers they possessed. And there are also knowledge of crafts ed through their priests.

To Yoruba, """there's only Olodumare, 'Olodumare wanted to help humans and gave Ifa and the divine peoples- the ones that head picked (orisha), loosely, the divines from God, loosely, the children of God.'."""


Our people, regardless of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, atheism, whatever, if not see it as religion, should see the art in it. The intelligence, the solutions, the artistry in Ifa for one is so appreciable.


Say that a tourist comes, and tells of his purpose to the Christian/Moslem receptionist at his hotel, he'd most likely meet hostility.

Papa legba. Sopona. Babaluaye . Olokun. Erinle. Ibeji.

HEAVEN4444:
he, Orunmila is Oduduwa and obatala. Different names same entity. Orunmila is the name when he has ascended to the throne, Oduduwa is the name when he falls down to earth from heaven aka fallen from the throne and Obatala is the name when he is on the throne

Come on! You're taking it to myth-level. In day-to-day reality, I believe Oduduwa was an adimula, a stranger while Obatala was the already leader in Ile-Ife before Oduduwa then became the Olofin in Ile-Ife. Orunmila was the first Ifa priest, and who had Akoda and Aseda as his first students. Etc.

But if you say Orunmila is Obatala+Oduduwa, that's fine. I'm sure you know what you're saying.


Nonetheless, I appreciate Orunmila, wise Awo, and appreciate him for divining Ifa.

Wrong, they are three different entities

The three deities differ in their roles and domains. Orunmila is associated with wisdom, knowledge, and divination, and is linked to the Ifa oracle. Oduduwa, on the other hand, is connected to creation, fertility, and sovereignty, and is tied to the earth, fertility, and kingdom. Obatala is associated with creation, purity, and justice, and is linked to the heavens, creation, and purity.

The three deities also have distinct characteristics. Orunmila is considered wise and powerful, uses Ifa to consult the mind Olodumare for mankind, while Oduduwa is nurturing and powerful.

Obatala is supreme, comionate and just

great work

orunmila means MY HEAVEN IS OPEN meaning he had access to his higher self meaning this was a master of esoteric information. A wise sage. Like king Solomon. A master occultist. Illuminati . So orunmila who is a master illuminati, That's who the presidents of the world would consult to interpret messages from the universe or interpret their dreams etc. a medium.

nah same entity. Just like Satan and devil and Lucifer is same entity. Different names. These esoteric texts create many names for one entity to confuse you

The bottom line is, he's not liked by many people, maybe because of the nature of his assignment.

Osun can make more money from much more...

look at the sculpture the Brazilians did... Osun can create a park for Osoosi and other Yoruba deities and make lots of money from tourism all year round not just when they have festivals..

Why should they do anything that requires brain work to generate revenue when there’s easy money coming from Abuja every month ?
The road leading to the state capital from Gbongan is an eye sore but the fat clown has budgeted 10 billion to buy cars for his cronies.

it's different aspects of one entity. Are you not multidimensional?. Obatala wears white meaning this aspect of the entity is on the throne , if in black it means he has fallen off the throne from heaven down to earth and is then Oduduwa the father of the Yoruba who have fallen from their place of global respect and are now a destroyed tribe with no power. When that power comes back then the rulers among you are the obatala and the illuminati among you is orunmila

Exactly what those Israelis did. Most of those so-called historical Christian places were just fabricated for the sole purpose of tourism.
The jews themselves even hate Jesus and only give a shìt about him to make money.

Intolerant Muslims will not allow it

They fight their customs and traditions but embraced killer Arab customs.
