Say God?! by OMOTheBestzz(m): 11:36am On Dec 04, 2016 |
Oyi had some children, but wanted more. God told her that the particular child that He would give her would be different. When it was time for her to give birth, she gave birth to a child with peeled skin different in colour from her other children. So when people asked about mother and the baby, others would say: ‘Oyi bi omo ti gbogbo ara re bo’ (Oyi gave birth to a baby which has peeled skin). This is why we call them Oyibo till tomorrow. “They were born by Orisa nla. The white man has been searching for his root of existence, but in truth, he emerged from the Yoruba race. “After the birth, they were rubbed with raw eggs because the weather here did not match them. “It was Olokun who took them to what is now known as temperate region. Then they started to multiply. “Over time, they came back to colonise us and cause confusion among us. They started with the kings causing quarrels among them. “We started democracy. The white man met us practising democracy. “But they now claim that when they came here, the black man was naked, not wearing clothes. It is a lie! Oodua (Oduduwa) was the first to put on clothes. “With that opportunity, they began to exploit us. “The white man turned us to slaves. But if you look at the world today, you would see that the Yoruba tradition exists. “If you go to North America, it is our practice that you would find there. If you go to the Carribean Island, you will find Yoruba culture and tradition. If you go to America, you will realise they talk more of our religion and practices more than they talk about Christianity and Islam, the religions they brought to us. “You hear the Yoruba saying ‘Omoluabi’. This also has its own tale. It stands for Noah’s child. Noah is in the Quran and Bible and God used him to honour us. “Noah was a Yoruba man when he was alive. “You can also see how God honoured us with Ogun, the god of iron. Motors, aeroplanes are now made with iron. Ships are made with iron. “Ogun gave birth to needle, cutlass, axe and knife. It is with the needle that the world sew their clothes “So we all need to unite so that we can sustain our existence Chai! My jaw dropped while reading this...LOL As I was reading it, what was just coming to my mind was 'say God!' |
