World don dey come to an end as, "Lagos herbalists embrace internet divination". I bet no one will dupe them and give them superior website. Also, make sure your juju strong pass dem own, otherwise u might be doing their site for free, he he

The procedure is to visit the website and fill a consultation form online. It is stipulated that one need not indicate his problem as the priest will use the bio data supplied to consult, identify the trouble and proffer solutions."


Gone is the era when herbalists and soothsayers are known by their shabby dressing, ignorant approach and house hangings as Babalawos in Nigeria especially those in Lagos and environs have embraced the use of technology and online divination to make their work easier as they now offer Ifa consultation on their websites.

When Asabe Bello first heard the advertisement on radio that she could have her problem solved by a Babalawo without actually visiting one, she was surprised, as all her life, she had thought that to get Ifa intervention to any problem, one must see an Ifa priest physically before she could consult and get such problems solved.

She, however, had a change of heart when she actually got in touch with one via a website and was given an identification code after filling a consultation form and told to pay a certain amount.

She was told what to do and given vivid directions on what to do to solve her problem which was described as a spiritual attack and she did. The consultations and the solution proffered gave her an understanding that contrary to expectations, Babalawos have moved on with the times and have embraced cyber technology.

"I know many Nigerians in the course of their daily work have embraced the use of technology but I was still surprised that even Babalawos now consult on websites. My idea of an herbalist is a dirty man in an unkempt environment with various hangings and dirty clay pots, so the experience was an eye opener," she told Inside Lagos.

In Lagos and its surrounding towns, more Ifa priests are making their business technology driven by making it accessible to many more people on the web. One of such is the Ajigbotifa Temple which is in an area near the suburb of Lagos.

The temple is advertised to have a mission 'to make man to live a fulfilled life. To professionally help man with the help of Olodumare and Ifa; to help man in overcoming both physical and spiritual problems, give foresight into the future, prosperity, health, good children, peace, love and more by communicating with us through the Holy Odus in IFA and proclaim Ifa, Olodumare and Holy Odus of Ifa supremacy to all nations of the world.'

To consult at this temple, one has to visit the website, www.Ajigbotifatemple.com. According to the website, Ajigbotifa Temple Limited is an Ifa religion based organisation in Nigeria; a registered company under Corporate Affairs Commission, Abuja, Nigeria that specialises in Ifa Olokun Asorodayo, with the motives of making man kind to live a fulfilled life.

The procedure is to visit the website and fill a consultation form online. It is stipulated that one needs not indicate one's problem as the priest will use the bio data supplied to consult, identify the trouble and proffer solutions. After the form is submitted, an acknowledgment is sent from the temple with a personal ID number and code given to the potential client after which the mode of payment is indicated and then the real business begins, all without physical contact except the client desires.

Wait, hold on, are the three of you trivialising this news report from Tribune? Guys this isn't Legend of the Seeker nor is it Harry Potter? This is for real. The only thing dangerous about this idea is that a lot quacks/419ers might venture into it hence spoiling this wonderful idea I have always thought of.

Fake magic

zangiff: Fake magic

What do you mean by fake magic?

You ought to agree that if there exist fake magic e.g. Stage tricks and illusions therefore there must exist real magic

I am not sure but let me assume that you're just like the majority of the so believed schooled/educated Nigerians who are convenient with various foreign concepts and practices like zodiac signs, speaking-in-tongues, horoscope, fasting, tarot reading, rapturous prophecy, armageddon, blood-cryng mary, etc but always condemn, negate, demonize anything that relates to African supernaturality/divination. I'm a natural born skeptic who's still yet to be a complete atheist and until then I will undoubtedly subscribe to certain things that pertains to our ancestral believe system rather than others because it's what identify me as unique among the human race.

Isn't surprise!

What's with it with my username? You should be ashamed of yourself and not me for degrading the knowledge of your ancestors as 'fake magic' because the SF character 'Zangief' appeals to you MORE than the names of any real past-existing warriors in your village. I'm sure you must have heard of one from the lips of our elders/oldfolks from tales and History of our various towns.
