    Thanks Araba for the Odu ifa of creation. Now if they came from to earth using a chain from the sky to me that's technology....just like military forces would decend from their choppers. Can we agree that our ancestors are from another planet with advanced technology using animals (chameleon and chiken) to test how life will survive on the new found planet earth? Just looking from another angle. Thank you

    Our creation story actually puts everything into better perspective since dinosaurs are said to be the ancestors of chickens and I should believe some were reptiles as well so chicken ancestors would spread the sand and the reptiles being very heavy would solidify the land…my mind is blown nobody’s creation story explains that fact none of them even include dinosaurs in our creation yet we find their bones hidden beneath the sands💡

      Yes, he was speaking about the Irunmoles: Heavenly beings with knowledge of earth. Irunmole weren't born on earth. Now, Orisa were humans who when they were alive on earth embodied a deity's traits or characteristics and when they died were deified and given that particular Irunmole's name. For instance, Sango is both an Irunmole and an Orisa.

    Oduduwa was not with them from beginning. Obatala & orunmila did the creation not oduduwa. It was later oduduwa sent as it were as obatala & . Orunmila came. Obatala came with chain in ife oodaye while oduduwa came also with chain ife olagbo. They all descend from God not Mecca or else where.The Islam fanatics then rate Mecca as heaven to promote Islam. That wasn’t too far.it’s fiction. The truth is that they came the same way with chain but at different dispensation. If we can see great warriors turning to chain at their disparture how much more the earliest.

    I am greatful for the knowledge. But I must admit I'm a little disappointed. I understand that there are many traditional Yoruba creation stories. But it seems the most relevant one is a man-club, boys only. It is clear in the real world, that women obviously do the lion's-share (more work than the male gender), when it comes to human creation. So how is it that Obatala, a male orisha, was able to create humanities' bodies by himself, with no divine female help? How is it, that only the male Orishas seem closest to Oloudmare & have the highest positions? Do men think themselves as greater than women, who do most of the work in human creation (to the point that the woman can loose her life in pregnancy)? What is the sperm without the African woman's egg, womb, fluids, & milk. The first person anybody knows, future fathers included, is their mother. Who is Oduduwa's mother? Who is Oduduwa's wife or wives? If Oduduwa is the forefather & first king of the Yoruba people, who is the foremother & the first queen of the Yoruba people? Olodumare has a male form Olorun, but never has a female form? Is Olodumare ashamed of the female sex? Male energy is the source of creation, while female energy is not the source of creation, but simply the assistant.

      The story Baba is talking about is an allegory or parable that has its own interpretation. The ancient true story exists... but people often interpret the story of ifa nowadays literally. "Owe ni'fa pa, Ologbon ni'ko, Omo'ran ni'mo", meaning, ifa speaks in parable, the wise learns it (ifa), the knowledgeable deciphers its true meaning. To be brief, Olodumare is feminine, hence the word "-Odu-"...a woman's womb is also called 'odu'. Factually, we men don't have odu. Women are the true representation of Olodumare on earth. Another thing is that Oduduwa of creation (noticed the word 'odu' again, is not male but female) is different from the Oduduwa (male) the majority of yoruba knew today, in fact, they have entirely forgotten the Oduduwa (Orisha = Divine Being from Olodumare). Yoruba both old and young nowadays misrepresents the story by often interpreting ifa corpus as literal.
