No sir.
I attended Pearl Preparatory School briefly instead.

Yoruba culture is too rich and deep.

Proud to be one.

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.

OP's fam compound.

Ile Olorisa (Obatala's compound).


The compound plays/holds an important role in the spiritual hierachy in Ile-Ife/Yoruba-land one of which is taking charge of the Ade Are (Oduduwa's crown) which Obatala wears during the period an Ooni passed on and when another ascends the throne.

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.

There are 3 groups in the family; the Ilesun, Ilale and Ilea (the latter 2 have merged into one). The lines in the first and and foremost group are:

Fanihunre/Omidirepo

Elugbaju (Elugbaju is all over Ife in different compounds but there is Elugbaju of Ile Olorisa).

Dada

.

The place in the picture is where odun obatala holds as well as Idita. This is the temple where Obatala (the compound) descents hold prayers and stuff and it is where the Obalesun is everyday of the week.

Sooooooooo all thses dotted creatures are they immortal?

There is something called heritage. If you don't have one u can't understand when u see it.

No, no human is.

Reverse leopards?

I know the Obatala Shrine in Obalufon in Ile-Ife.

Culture is dynamic.

what a diabolic tradition

We had a thread previously but we lost it as a result of the NL crash. As a result, I thought it would be a good idea to restart the thread for discussions, questions, research and whatever.

Let me start with some pictures from past festivals.

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:

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

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

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