Peuto Ricans have a word OBATALA does it have any similarities in meaning with the yoruba OBATALA?

abumeinben:

9jacrip:

Baba, it is not at Obalufon. The only Obatala shrine I know is at Igbo Itapa.

Nice to see the fire still burning .
Quiet ,peaceful and not materialistic.
The true religion of God
The religion of the Yorubas

Timothy3113:
from ur explanation of things I can see that u have d tru knowledge of Yoruba not myth.
my question is did oduduwa migrate from somewhere or he his born in Yoruba land. cos we have so many conspiracy theory, some saying na golden chain he use some sed he came from mecca some sed na hin papa okanbi.

OrlandoOwoh:

There is an obatala shrine in Obalufon Street, Ile-Ife.

I'm glad you do.

You must be very familiar with that axis then?

9jacrip:


They believe in God, the creator of all things natural.

They just don't believe in Muhammed or Jesus.

And some of them are alfas and strong church members too.

Plus you didn't have to show how gutter you are referring to folks who have not offended you in anyway as mfkers.

seunmsg:

They are part of the Idita, one of the original families Oduduwa met in Ife. As an Ooni owns no land, Idita family land starts from Mokuro junction opposite Moore police station to As far as Ife boundary with Ilesa.

@ 9jacrip, can you please shed more light on the part in bold? If this your assertion is true, does it support the historical narrative held by some people that the Ooni lineage are actually slaves and not biological descendants of Oduduwa?

Onijagidijagan:

shut up sttupid who told you they don't believe in God?

Owoplenty:
they did believe in God,but not the literature revealed God like yours.

I think you should stop reasoning with the burnt side of your brain. When u move outside Nigeria, to other parts of Africa and South America, you'll realise how beautiful and highly regarded our culture is. I'm not saying any religion is the true religion, however, we need to respect our own culture and traditions. We don't have to depend on imported ideologies. All progressive society guard their culture judiciously but here in Nigeria, some Eediot like you ignore them.

After Oranmiyan ascended the throne, his lineage took over.

So the ruling houses of

Ogboru
Giesi
Lafogido
Osinkola

Where Oonis after Oranmiyan have come from are all descendant of Oranmiyan through Lajamisan his son.

Keep in mind each hamlet in Ife was by the family with its head. The family owned the land of each hamlet no matter how wide or small and the head controlled it.

Oduduwa only merged the hamlets into one, he did not control them. The heads controlled their hamlets.

His offsprings all moved out from 'ita ajero' in Ife to found or join into different towns we have today. Also keep in mind Oranmiyan who continued his father's rule did not have any land allocated to him in Ife or beyond.

The Ora people run the General/Opa/Ora area of Ife.

The Idita run Igbo Itapa and Mokuro

The Araba control the Enuwa environs.

The list goes on.

This is where u get it all wrong.
ok, don't some pastors and alfas use human parts to 'work' for their clients??

9jacrip:


Obatala the human ruler is different from Obatala the spirit being in Yoruba belief system. Yoruba history carries with it two aspects, the actual events surrounding the character backed up in verifiable proofs in our surroundings and the mystery intended to show the supernatural powers, ranking, strength etc of a deity.

Both sides for every character are present in Ifa but most people ignore the details of real life occurences because the mythical/spiritual is given by Ifa and used by the Babalawo to explain and solve problems.
