anonimi:I don't know much about ifa divination, that's why I am willing to learn. One of the odu also mentioned the great flood as recorded in the bible (Noah). Ifa talked about ife before and after the flood. I am not suprised that people from Brazil , Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Haiti , Jamaica , Puerto Rico , Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago , the United States, Uruguay , Argentina and Venezuela among others are learning the culture. They even learn it the hard way as they learn the Yoruba language first before interpreting it to Portuguese, spanish, french and English to a larger audience. 3 Likes |

Odunnu: Is studying Ifa like studying Dodonbiri and Amadioha in Hausa and Igbo settings? Nope. Ifa is not a god, its a psuedo religion in the mould of the likes of scientology but with a big difference; proponents of Ifa believe in the existence and omnipotence of a supreme being called Eledumare (which is in essence another name for God in yoruba). the_ripper: Abeg Ifa and JuJu na d same tin? Calling Ifa juju is like calling Meteorology or quatum physics juju. 1 Like |

Good one, Mr. Governor. Hopefully one day all christians and muslims will come to their senses or voluntarily leave us and go to Rome, Jerusalem and Mecca. It's pure lunacy to worship and take pilgrimage to lands of people that see it fit to enslave you. 4 Likes |

saxywale: From my scanty memories of the NTA Ibadan old series of Ifa Olokun A soro dayo also anchored by Dr. Elebuibon, there are many similar stories between what is in the Bible (particularly OT) which is almost reproduced verbatim in the Koran. Such a comparative project may instill a greater level of self confidence that could propel us to modern greatness if we focus our education on innovation by massively encouraging enrolment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related subjects. |

This is interesting. But hope its made optional for d students. because Ifa is not like academics its a spiritual thing. When children begin to chant incantations at home in front of their parents then we shall know what problem ds governor is putting in place in osun state. |

anonimi:Yeah, the potential of what could be revealed is enormous but I was told it can take years to learn some of the odu's. I sometimes wonder why they can't be interpreted to English instead of being taught orally. |

Ifa ko ifo ni, rubbish. Legalising idoltary and ritual. Nw some ppl will take ritual to a higher level and will claim to hav been supported by d government. Any right thinkin muslims or xtains will nt accept dis. Dis Aregbeshola don dey look lyk a clown to be. Aregbe, u are nt a true muslim, wat u are tryin to condone is shirk. CIAO |

;DAregbe has stolen my heart with this concept. Anyone there that can teach me the concept of ifa? I am a christian but my heart is opened to this ifa concept. Japan, China,India and others didn't lose their religious beliefs to foreigne. Look at them they have prospered more than us. Abeg count me in. I know some ifa like:.EJI OGBE... OYEKU MEJI...

I admire yoruba philosophy & history, unfortunately it can hardly be learnt without involving some form of spiritisim. Yoruba mythology is quite interesting, it shares some stories with Greek mythology No wonder its home 2 d strongest churches in Africa |

Any right thinkin muslims or xtains will nt accept dis. The study of Ifa is not shirk. How can you condemn him as not been a true muslim for being 'Ifa tolerant'? Its reasoning like this that breeds boko haram. Mind you studying Ifa doesn't take you away from your religion, as long as you don't breach the teachings of your belief. 2 Likes |

Isnt Ifa a religion also? Why are people saying its a cultural thing. From the little I remember, they have Ifa festival or whatever that is, which is synonymous as a religious festival, and they offer sacrifices also just like every other traditional religion. It better be optional tho. God forbid that I'm forced to study Ifa |
Re: Osun Students To Study Ifa – Aregbesola by SamAfrik(m): 6:01pm On Jan 03, 2013 |
Interestingly, the same dedication our fore-fathers used in worshipping their gods, is the same dedication this present generation is using to serve God. There is something just too unique/special about the yorubas. |
