Wow! Ifa is more Civilized than anything known to Man, see one of its verses (Ogbe Rikusa) !

Before reading please take note of the following.

Baba’alawo or Iyalawo is Ifa Chief priest  or priestess that studies Ifa after initiation. Ifa has 16 stanzas. Each stanza has about 495 verses. ( Odus/Odu Ifa). Baba’alawo or Iyalawo (Ifa Chief priest  or priestess ) is required to know by heart a lot of these verses (just like the Imam studying the verses in the Quran or Pastor studying  verses and chapters in the Bible in Eastern and Western civilizations, Islam and Christianity respectively).

So when Omo Eniyan with problem goes to a Baba’alawo or Iyalawo (Ifa Chief priest  or priestess ) to find guidance, the Baba’alawo (Chief-priest) is required to consult Ifa. i. e Look into ifa, find the Odu/verse where that person’s destiny falls and interpret it to the Omo Eniyan as guidance to brighter future. See Example of one Ifa verses bellow. 495 x 16 = 7920 Verses a Baba’alawo or Iyanifa must learn or know by heart. See example of a verse or odu (Ogbe Rikusa)  bellow when you continue after the page jump bellow.

OoduaRere.com's Take on the New Oooni Of Ife ( Re Abomination: Ooni bowing down for Jesus)

Irunmoles are depicted by the western civilization as small letter g (Lesser god to theirs mainly Jesus). Just to make sure it’s not in the same line with their God. Jesus! The same way you will never hear them assign or use the word Chief to address any of their kings but would rush to do that with African kings.  

Please,  lets respect the Yoruba civilization and all religions. Lets be tolerant to each other. So please take note here that an Irunmole is in the same position as God. In Yoruba Civilization, Orisa is a messenger of Olodumare. He has dirrect link to the creator of heavens aand earth (Olodumare is he most high GOD) and the first Irunmole God that created  Ile ife (The Earth) is Orunmila and he brought Ifa as guidance from the most hight Olodumare GOD of heavens and Earth. Please also take note that Bibble in western Civilization or Quran in Eastern Civilization is dirrectly proportion to Ifa which has thousands of verses known as Odu or Odus

OoduaRere’s Position

Back in the day, it may not be politically correct to say the Ooni of Ife is a Christian or Muslim but correct to say he’s  second in command of Irunmole (God, messnger of Olodumare) in other words “Igbakeji Orisa” that is regarded as an Irunmole (Orisa himself) only when he puts on his Ade Ori (Crown). Also the supreme leader of all the Yoruba kings and Yoruba people. In other words, the first among equals.

But today it’s politically correct for the sake of peace to rain in SW and this is why you do not have major foreign proxies in the South W. Like Boko haram, Shiite and the New Nnamdi Kanu Biafra ideology, always hiding under the pretext of religious conflict to carrying out its major interest. As in the case of Nnamdi Kanu hiding under the pretect of Marginalization to also carrying our its objectives.

 

Why?

If you are familiar with the traditions and culture of the Yoruba people. A king is not a God but a semi-God (like a deputy to the Gods) that is why they are called “Igbakeji Orisa” and out of all the Irunmoles we have the supreme beign (Eledumare/Olodumare) who is GOD over all other God/Gods  or Irunmoles. So that the oni know he has a GOD who is above other Gods or semi-Gods is not an abomination. It will be an abomination if he thinks he is the “Eledumare himself or GOD” . Oni is the custodian of all the Gods in yoruba land, he is not an Irunmole but regarded as an Irunmole only when he puts on his Ade ori (The Crown). He still has to bow to not only one God but to all the Gods/Irunmoles in the Yoruba land and also bow even prostrate before the most high GOD”Eledumare”

That is practice the 3 Religious ideologies or civilizations.

Conclucsion 

In 2015, it’s politically correct to say that Ooni of Ife should be 3 in1 for the sake of peace in Yoruba Land.
