WHO IS ESU? WHAT ARE THE MEANINGS OF THE WORDS ‘ESU’ AND ‘ELEGBARA’?

This video explains, with sufficient examples, the meaning of the word 'esu' and 'elegbara'. It tells sis exactly who Esu is in the Yoruba pantheon of the orisa and also gives insight into the character of the children called Idowu and Alaba. There is a place in Lagos named Ojuelegba, this video tells us why that is.
You can learn more of the world of the orisa in my course titled BECOMING YORUBA. Use this link to purchase yours: selar.co/262626

Part of his praise incantations is " o ba elekun sukun ki eru o ba elekun. Elekun sukun laaroye nsu eje.

Rich content... I wish more people will be open to hearing of our heritage...

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

The road of truth is narrow, and thats why only a few will be open to it. But the road to damnation is wide. That's why a lot more people have a taste for lies.

[@gbadebofestus2612]

Hmmm, great work. D. O. Fagunwa is guilty of what u r trying to correct here sir. I read almost all his titles in my primary n secondary school days. Fagunwa followed Bishop Ajayi Crowthers parallel in almost all his books. So not until I grew up n got into d university did I begin to shed my ignorance of d positions of these two great Yoruba men. U make me remember Prof Wande Abimbolas voluminous books on Ifa n d Yoruba Pantheon. Great job. 🥂

Eku ise takuntakun.

[@sessy1475]

It's called Esu lalu ofiri oko.

[@obeyalways5406]

Sweet explanation. Note that the Esu of the Yorubas is different from the Esu in the Bible as used by the Christians.
Have you heard of Homonym or Homograph? A word that has two or more different meanings?
E.g. BAT = flying mammal and BAT = Object used in sport
Words have history and origin. A word may have the same or different meaning from its origin. This is called Semantic or Etymological Shift.
So, there is no error. It is simply word evolution.

[@sholahide114]

So esu is different from the fictional character satan....hmmmmmm

[@oyebanjiayodeji8877]

Absolutely, those foreign people have destroyed us in within

[@adrien1623]

Esu lord of the crossroads seems awfully similar to the entities who contract ppl who are in crossroads in their mind after Satan offers them riches in exchange for something. Even being a witch you have to sacrifice things. To figure out who orishas are connect them with various mythologies from Hindu, Greek, phonecian , Egyptian , etc

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

Satan is an illusion created by European Christians to scare people. It's Esu that use the decision points (i.e. crossroads) to purnish, elevate or teach.

[@Jane-zp7hy]

Esu is unique. I do not compare him to the gods in other cultures. 🇺🇬

[@ademolafayemi9093]

Satani is the Yoruba of satan. Esu is not Satan, and this confusion started when Ajayi crowther translated the English Bible to Yoruba
