we are in the 8th month already, I love to share the story of Olokun as point of connection to the spirit of prosperity in you. Never mind, I can see prosperity in your eyes, I can see the dreams you are toiling to make come true. Believe it, you are not alone. As young adults, this is the time to buckle up and double the zeal in spite of the state of the nation. May you live your dreams.

Sometimes, I do recourse to the life and time of the ancestors just to draw some poetic inspiration to keep going on and on in spite of the huddles on the way as it is the nature of man. These are necessary huddles, "nothing venture nothing won" goes the wise saying. My mind is at ease on this collection on Olokun at my disposal.

Bi a ko ba ba Oba gbele
Abe Oba kii pani lori,
Bi a ko ba ba Oba pala,
Oko Oba kii dani lese.

Iwo naa sure re arin igbe o too dako
adia fun Olokun seni Ade,
Aji filu ki, omoba labulabu,
Bii igba epo.

Kee pe o kejina
ewa bawa ni arusegun,
arusegun lawa wa.

To the Yoruba, Ifa originated with Olokun, whose precept brought joy. Hence it is said, Ifa Olokun, asoro-dayo. The word Olokun simply means one who own the sea. Mind you, it can also mean "one who divide the sea". Well I'm not making that up, Ifa is old enough to tell its own story. By the way, Olokun is the patron saint of Ifa, the epitome of wisdom.

More than that, Olokun is an harbinger of joy. He was praised in Yoruba as omo-inajoko-majerun. As the earth continue through the cosmic path happily, all day long, may it bring joy to our path also. May this joy spread over and continually be our portion.

F%&K YOU LIL' B%&CH

Interesting.

please can you explain this phrase 'omo inajoko majerun' in your write-up before i will further my comment.

OJODEL10: please can you explain this phrase 'omo inajoko majerun' in your write-up before i will further my comment.

I once explain it on our other thread, where I credited it to Peter Fatomilola, an ace Yoruba actor and Ifa exponent. The word omo ina joko ma j'erun is Yoruba, it means "son of the fire that burn upon bush without consuming". That's a self-sufficient fire.

Funjosh:

Interesting.

That's oral tradition for you, its thriller all the way.

if this phrase is for olokun, does it mean that he is moses son as we know that it was only moses that had encounter with bush burning?

No I think he means Jesus(He's the son of the burning bush fire) and please @ojodel10 what Yoruba folk tale was the " fire that burn upon bush without consuming" told? because the only place I recall such a tale being narrated is the bible. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Op i guess u are an olokun worshiper but why say olukun divided the sea Op why

Secondly you said he is the son of the fire that burns the bush but not consuming to be sincere with you Op you have been hypnotised

all other races and country follow their religions and beliefs but we put the white and hairy men religion to be ours and we even practice it more than the inventors

Op, could it be a possibility that the Olokun adherents plagiarized the "burning bush" and "divider of the sea" concepts? #HonestEnquiry
