I promised i wouldn't mess up this thread because its not a debate bout religion but meant to be informative. If u think u aren't attacking then think again. Since u can't read , well i state it again, Jesus isn't a diety. If u say u don't give a rats ass bout ppls beliefs, then why are u defending because i don't get it why not read and ignore. And moreover who's hating

jo_o ma p'ofo so loriooo........ not too sure but i think it means, 'please do not put a curse on her' or 'Please don't place a curse on her' (yoruba translation).  |

 That's funny. Thinks i'll put that in my cutnpaste arsenal. How would one say 'please do not put a curse on him' or 'them'?

I think i got a better translation of that:
It translates to "Don't abuse by talking endlessly to someone." (It's usually used to check a younger person from dissing an elderly person)

Is Ifa any more effective than the miracle pastors who are dominating our hearts and minds?

MAKE UNA GO AHEAD DEY MOCK EACH OTHER WEY NO SUPPORT UNA SHARED VIEWS, SO WHAT IF JESUS CHRIST WAS MINISTERED TO US BY MAJORITY CAUCASIANS, & COME TO THINK OF IT, ARABS & JEWS HAVE LIGHT-TONES SKIN JUST LIKE CAUCASIANS( EVEN THOUGH THERE MAYBE A FEW COLORED ONES AMONG THEM). NOBODY SOLD You ANY CHRISTIAN RELIGION, & IT IS NOT A WHITEMAN'S RELIGION EITHER. IFA WORSHIP IS AN INDEGINEOUS RELIGION & WITH STRONG BASE IN META-PHYSICS, & OTHER FORMS OF ASTRA-KNOWLEDGE.
MAKE UNA CARRY UNA IFA WORSHIP DEY WAKA UNA OWN WAY, & NO COME HIA COME CHALLENGE OUR ROOTS IN THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. LOOK TOWARDS AREA THAT PRACTICE SUCH RELIGIONS AS THEIR NATIONAL RELIGION: HAITI, BENIN REPUBLIC & I THINK TOGO, & TELL ME WHAT You THINK,

Religion will never solve the worlds problems because it was NEVER meant to solve the worlds problems. It is a personal thing. Religion is meant to solve YOUR problems. So whatever works for you, If Ifa worship brings you peace, so be it. If atheism is what you choose and it brings you peace, then worship in the enlightment that you think you have. If Christ is whom you choose, all well and good. Some day, we will all know the truth, and maybe, we will never, maybe the agnostics are right, who knows? God knows, but is there a God? Who knows?, God knows!

The Yorubas have the enslaved Africans and their descendents in the African dispora for saving their religion and bringing it to the world. I believe very little influence have come from present day Yorubas. It is the black Americans(Orisha-Vodoo), the Cubans(Lucumi), the African Latinas(Santeria) have made the belief system known and popular. Each group has created their own version that speaks specifically to their existence in the Americas.
Yes there are even some Ifa worshippers.
I have never met a Yoruba who had anything good to say about their traditional religion. They usually jump on the band wagon once they know it is known and popular outside of the African continent by non-Africans(African descendents though).
You definitely need to thank the African disapora. Because this is where the source lies.

You are very right. I am from IFA family of Awodiope.
My father's name is FATOKUN this name was changed to Francis by the missionary. We were thought BIBLE and told that Ifa worship is Idolatry. We were given status of JESUS in place.
Now I knew nothing about IFA as my father knew, attempt to learn more was met with resistance from fellowship members as backsliding. CHURCH ! Modern slavery you will say was responsible.

@ BigSis, with due respect that your last post is ill-informed. Don't run around shooting your mouth about things you know little about, it doesnt edify you. Not one bit |

BigSis said: I have never met a Yoruba who had anything good to say about their traditional religion.

Blame it on the British colonialists' brainwashing machine. The brainwashing of Africans by the colonialists was more or less total. They did a fantastic job on us. |
