This ordinary man is a powerhouse of brilliance! I can speak this from directly knowing and respecting his work and his flow. He displays (as always) extraordinary humility too! Yes I! Brother Lekan your time to shine again! Let's go oya!
I’m Mexican-American raised Catholic but I always felt that IFA is my culture and religion. No matter how much I try to avoid it, I always think of IFA. I am not looking into getting initiated.
Wow, this segment with Mr Babalola is captivating and educational. Perhaps someone should have a documentary on the topic and interview him, this is something we are lacking in Nigeria. Documentaries on this topic are needed can be a legacy gift for us and our generation.
Best YOUR VIEW topic/delivery, ever. I was totally gripped by the info. Ọlálékan Babalọlá bravo! Mark my words, this is the moment a complete positive U-turn started...
Think very carefully about that decision. Do your research and make an informed choice. Speak to someone who practised this and left it.There are often consequences of not adhering to the rules of these things.
IFA ni olohun olodumare....IFA has been the greatest that happened to me....ISESE Lagba....I stand with IFA I learn new things every day....my eyes are opened..I Love ISESE I love IFA...edited to say we are not Yoruba no we're in IFA are we called Yoruba it's a worldly name given to us by oppressors due to some event or scenero.... omo Kaaro jire.... omoluabi ni wa...omo irunmole
Alot of mixed history of how and why we are called Yoruba.starting from Fulanis/Hausa who call us Yariba which has meaning in they no own language..to the foreigners who call us yo rubo....or yo baba e....I can't remember you need scholar's for that part...but according to IFA Yoruba was never mentioned...only Ara ile ife or awon Ara ilu Oyo and many other part of abinibi was mentioned
Socrates only encapsulated one tenth of Orunmila, who can only be compared to Jesus because Orunmila is known as ( eleri ipin)a witness to the distribution of destiny.
@@kenny7872 Yes. Ella invented the computer with his binary system of communication. Ella wasn't able to capture the value of his invention, Bill Gates did though. Opele is a means of communication same way Jesus left the holy spirit. Orunmila is so complex, they're still studying him in quantum Physics. Orunmila encompasses the totality of African religion, science and technology. I wrote about Orunmila's concept of religion, which he defined as ethics hence the saying, "Iwa ni esin."
@@kenny7872 If the story of Jesus is true, then it's likely that the same spirit is in both Orunmilaand Jesus. And as it is said in the Bible that "in beginning was the word and the word was with God". I heard Professor Wande Abimbola (the Awise Ifa) say that Ifa was not createsd and it was with Olodumare right from the beginning. So, one can clearly see that Ifa is the same word the Bible is referring to.
Nobody know IFA...cause IFA is very vast make me fill confidence...cos we have different topics and ODU IFA to treat..we were forcefully giving false relig*on
@@ay1ism please don't be silly. Their is no god or goddess in yoruba Spirituality they are all deities spirits called orisha and please tell me where you have seen a real babalawo use human for Sacrifice. Babalawo is a priest and not to be confused with herbalist, onisegun e.t.c although some combine all, a real babalawo akeyo performs only Sacrifice and not with humans. How many human beings have you seen killed to any deities? There are so many misconception about yoruba Spirituality and ifa divination do your research before exhibiting ignorance in public. Any one who kills another human must be killed too and no human should be killed in the name of religion or Sacrifice.
@@Ayooladapo6502 Hahaha, another ignoramus telling us there were never human and animals sacrifice. Tell me the town you come from and I will tell you the history. Even if you don't know about your history you must have had or seen videos on the Internet where political leaders were bathing in blood. Are you telling us we should shun those ladies whose private parts were removed simply because we need to paint ifa good? If you haven't had of the history where towns in Yoruba land have used "ajeji" (another Yoruba person simply because he or she is from another town) for sacrifice in some cases where the so called gods are angry then, you are too a child to comment on Yoruba history. Or maybe you are another foolish westerner of African descents who have been fed lies. For the facts that you try to swap the meaning of babalawo from being a herbalist to a priest demonstrated that you are under illusion. You can only deceive yourself. Priest ke 😂😂😂 you think it's a church, lol. What is deities what is gods and goddess😂😂😂 doesn't it means thesame thing. Go and learn the basics and stop embarrassing yourself kid.
@@ay1ism anybody that tells you to go and kill someone for fame and money isn't a Babalawo but someone practising something else. All the things you are saying are stereotypes from movies. Get knowledge kid. If you see any politician bathing with blood I'm telling you that it can never be on the instructions of ifa divination, those are evil powers with grave consequences.
@@Ayooladapo6502 '' All the things you are saying are stereotypes from movies'' and where the movie makers are getting their stories from? Hahaha. ''If you see any politician bathing with blood I'm telling you that it can never be on the instructions of ifa divination'' Story for the gods. You must be living in a lala land to think I got my knowledge from a movie. I still have relatives that do all these divination rubbish. Two sisters are not in talking terms because they were independently told one is doing the other and vice versa. Children stop talking their mum because they told them their mum is a 'witch' that she is behind their misfortune. Meanwhile, there is no single proof or evidence of all these claims or that the Onifa or depending on your dialect, Adifa (babalawo) actually speaks to any higher power but rather speaking of what came to their mind or their thoughts. Why do you think our forefathers, on a massive scale, moved away from this idol/divinations when light (Christianity) came? You know Ifa more than them? Continue in your delusion, I hope pe ko ni pe e ki o to ye e.
@@michaelfarmhand he is serving LORD through ifa and you are serving through bible ..it because the bible people colonize you that is why you see it as only way and that is problem of africa...it is forsaken and reject because european force their own believe on your forefather...christain mafia and crusader kill thesame way terrorist are killing today before people turn to christians...go are read about slavery and colonization ....if white man do not come to give you book that say dont steal and the stole everything in africa ..your artifact and so call orisha and even human being ...
@@obaalayemore744 I think you’re mixing up a few things. I don’t serve God through the Bible. First I am a child of God through Christ, saved, sanctified and glorified. Service comes next because I am now ‘God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for the doing of good works’ Without the sanctification through Christ all our works are ‘like filthy rags’ As to this ‘white man religion’ card, Christianity was in Africa way before it got to Europe. Finally my Bible tells me that “for God so loved the world, the he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” Two things to note here: God loves the world - Yoruba, Indian, Anglo Saxon, etc. And - whosoever - that’s me, you and anyone else of any race or culture. The offer of eternal life in Christ is for whosoever places his or her trust in Christ. No one is saved through ifa, but if you must follow ifa, it’s your choice, but it is not wise to base your eternity on the dead works of our forefathers. I wish you well.
@@kunlejacob874 nobody forced anything on me.. I discovered that by myself. I am learned and know that I am not prepared to worship any idol...who needs to be fed with red oil,eko etc. Who has no single currency to generate to the economy of the nation. I worship the God of the Universe. The owner of all wealth . Why are we poor in Africa with all the idols?.. And the white man is getting richer and richer without worship of Ifa?
@@wahabodusola6484 JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the TRUTH . For me. I will not force anyone or accuse anyone of their own truth. Ifa worship never made the continent rich...if he believes in Ifa, then fine with him
What is the different between what your father practiced then as aladura priest and what you are doing now?truly, your parents never practice true Christianity rather,they disguised as servants of God and followers of Jesus Christ.they set false foundation for you to follow
Isese for me as a practitioner is a brain resetting and rewarding journey. It is high time we went back to our roots!
👍🏿Agreed!
''we''? who are the we? People followed Ifa for centuries up til today and has never fare them well hence, vast majority left.
Isese agbe waa. I'm an isese person too
@@ay1ism and Christianity fair you well? You are an illusionist chasing shadows. Self destruction is what colonialism has done to your psychic.

Ifa is the best my guy.
Thank You so mush, Babalola for going into this Ifa traditional way, this us is in our blood. Bless you.

Best YOUR VIEW topic/delivery, ever. I was totally gripped by the info. Ọlálékan Babalọlá bravo! Mark my words, this is the moment a complete positive U-turn started...
This program is beautiful, I felt like studying IFA
You can’t convert to IFA, but you can study ifa, and IFA is the voice of olodumare given to orunmila when coming on earth
Think very carefully about that decision. Do your research and make an informed choice. Speak to someone who practised this and left it.There are often consequences of not adhering to the rules of these things.
@@omowunmilasisi8194 you get me. Studying I mean. Not converting.

Am very excited my favorite of all the ladies hosted today's show
Wise... powerful...
May God bless you forever amen.
I thought he said his English is not good! Or did he say Yoruba!
Wow! I respect that man.
He was being modest. He was very articulate in his explanation with a nice accent. love every bit of the interview. Love the new lady and everyone.
@@beeojeiks6516 his English is polish and his Yoruba "jinle"!
Thank you for sharing his experience to Ifa.

Great job.

Read professor Sophie Oluwole book, " Orunmila and Socrates."
I need to read that May Ms Oluwole Rest in Peace.
Socrates only encapsulated one tenth of Orunmila, who can only be compared to Jesus because Orunmila is known as ( eleri ipin)a witness to the distribution of destiny.

There all works of life in IFA..... including internet
Nobody know IFA...cause IFA is very vast make me fill confidence...cos we have different topics and ODU IFA to treat..we were forcefully giving false relig*on
Ifa chose me as well. My people were colonized and made to praise white jesus...no more. I chose to remove myself and go home. Ase.
Me I don’t kuku believe in religion anymore Na lie I believe in our traditions
Yoruba through our tradition and culture aways, but respected in South America's.
🦉🤘🏿
ILE -OGBO IS LOCATED IN IWO AND NOT OSOGBO....SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
Ileogbo is located in Aiyedire LGA not Iwo..... Setting the record straight.
@@kunlejacob874 I know it's Ayedire that's why I said Iwo and not Iwo LGA
Repent & turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
I will like to correct one of the interviewers, there is no Human Sacrifice on Yoruba Spirituality.
