Pastor AIO: there are loads of dialects of yoruba, and even within certain dialects the different versions are all valid. You will find that my post is coming a year too late. Had to register on nairaland so i can get across to you, i have been researching this issue for years, since it drew my curiosity as a kid. From what i gather, you have a policy not to exchange personal emails with people you meet via this medium. I'd be glad if u could make an exception for me. I trust you wont regret it. However u deem fit is the best way to get across to you, pls let me know. Anticipating your response |

Hi family, I just wanted to say its true! I live in America and a lot of us are returning to our nature. Like there is a shift in the universe or something. We are fed up. With the government, religion, the food ect. I myself have been studying the ifa religion and I find it fascinating. I wish I had the privilege of being born into it because I need that guidance. Right now I'm teaching myself it's kind of hard but I am learning. A lot of others have been showing concern too and dropping Christianity. We're sick of the lies. A lot of people are still sleep and unaware but their is a good percentage of us who seek truth and are fighting to come home 6 Likes 2 Shares |

IDINRETE:Yes, too much anger but. Like any emotions, it's ok to feel angry too sometimes ***depending on the situation***. For example, if your flight is cancelled at the last minute and that means you will miss one very important meeting (wedding of someone close, job interview which would help you to feed your family, etc). It's ok to feel angry. If you kill someone at the airport because of it or are still very very angry about it 3 months later, maybe that's a bit too much. All imo of course. I gather that some people who may consult their Ifa may have some problem with their anger and lack of patience so the advice would be appropriate for them (since their level of anger and lack of patience is hampering their life and destiny). I'm just saying this so people don't completely repress their emotions when it's appropriate for a situation. If you feel angry all the times, yes, that's too much I would think (all imo). |

Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by Glamrock(f): 9:37am On Nov 21, 2014 |
ghostofsparta: Ifa !! |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by ghostofsparta(m): 10:28am On Nov 21, 2014 |
Glamrock:Truth is female don't get initiated into Ifa system. Only males se-Ifa (stage 1) and te-Ifa (stage 2). You can be initiated into any of the other Orisha ways, and still become an Iyanifa, besides IFA is central to all 400 divinities. Anyone is free to consult IFA too regardless of whether you are an initiate or not. |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by Glamrock(f): 10:34am On Nov 21, 2014 |
ghostofsparta: Ok I'm just going by what my babalowo has been teaching me and planning for me. He told me I was being initiated so that's what I'm expecting. |

Glamrock:I retract my word, females can be initiated into the Ifa system, just that I was mistaking that with another aspect of it where females are not allowed to see Odu. May the rite conform to your eleda Happy initiation Best of luck! 1 Like |

I would love to know what Itefa means? What Is it all about? Am sure female can do it. And what is ODU? |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by PastorAIO: 10:39am On Nov 22, 2014 |
twaintoy: Itefa is the Ifa initiation. Odu is the sacred wife of Orunmila, the womb of the world, a sacred container, a deep mystery. |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by twaintoy(f): 12:14pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
PastorAIO:Thanks. A friend told me females are not allowed to see Odu. How true is this and why? |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by PastorAIO: 1:01pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
twaintoy: That's true but I don't know why. |

anonimi: So, the "African Traditional Religion" is the only one couched in terms of REVENGE? |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by PastorAIO: 3:48pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
sinequanon: I curious to know whice ATR exactly. or has ATR become one religion. |

ghostofsparta: Thankyou so much abi |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by sinequanon: 4:00pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
PastorAIO: I've added quotes around it. First time I'd heard the term. I guess he is referring to a particular example. So, why is the African one about REVENGE? |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by anonimi: 4:22pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
sinequanon: That is not the essence of what you quoted. You may wish to read it again. |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by sinequanon: 4:24pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
sinequanon: Can anyone answer this question? |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by macof(m): 12:58am On Nov 23, 2014 |
ghostofsparta: Absolutely wrong. Women can be fully initiated into Ifa...only they don't get Odu Regardless of that, they don't even need it as women are naturally gifted with an Odu - their womb |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by macof(m): 1:06am On Nov 23, 2014 |
twaintoy: Long ago, some few thousands years actually when Orunmila spread Ifa knowledge, he married the first Iyaami called Odu, she promised to be with him and her spirit flow through his disciples to enable them understand the mysteries of the universe and change lives only on the condition that no women must see her, this law was carried in Ifa cult even after her death |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by macof(m): 1:17am On Nov 23, 2014 |
sinequanon:Actually "African traditional religion" is such an inappropriate term..cus 1. It's nt really a religion, but a spirituality 2. There are hundreds/thousands of ethnic groups in Africa, each having it's own spiritual philosophies, despite their similarities, they each revolve around different cultures and traditions And that's nt about revenge, more like Karma |
Re: Ifa Orisa Religion - Is This Our True Identity: Our True Religion by ghostofsparta(m): 2:02am On Nov 23, 2014 |
macof: I agree ofcourse, I've retracted my earlier statement which was a mistakening of another aspect of it. Meanwhile, why don't you share your opinion on what you think about this video of a housemaid who turns the child baby kept in her care into a beat-toy fitting the profile of those types who will quickly lie against the devil as responsible for her cruelty. I posted the video link there: https://www.nairaland.com/2010889/see-what-happens-folks-leave |
