Do you know that one Akinfenwa Sunday Muyiwa, a member of group Ifa University (also a Nairalander), asks: “Of what use is this so called ‘culture’ and ‘tradition’, to a modern man, who lives and dreams technology? Can the believe in them bring any technological innovation and orientation, which can make us surpass the white people, who have done away with theirs?”
Could some people please address his question, PLEASE?

1st Answer
Adébóyè Adégbénró: Before you could have full understanding of anything, you have to be inside of it, not trying to wrap your head around it. There and then would you have full understanding- and it does not stop there. Just like inventions and new innovations in science and what have you, ‘culture’ and ‘tradition’ are not stagnant but have progressions that are still connected to the original source. The mistakes our folks make is eliminating the roots to forge a new move, new light or a new beginning. We all know the result of the river that forgot its roots. My ten cents.

2nd Answer
Shimone Canty: If he knew where the computer came from, he wouldn’t say such things. I will help him a lil… the code of the computer, which you see as color, shapes, sizes, etc on your computer screen is really just ones and zeros. This advanced system came from the Holy Odu printing of unlocking the universe. Yes, when we mark Odu today we use ones and zeros, just as our ancestors did. So, where would the world be today without computers? Where would the world be today without Ifa? We have always surpassed the so called white people, you just need to look from a different angle, the God angle.

3rd Answer (The Best Answer)
Sue Kucklick Arencibia: Ifá is a binary system. The first computers known to mankind are the divination systems. But instead of transmitting stale data, they connect us to the world of spirit and immensities of understanding.

4th Answer:
Fajemirokun Chris: Why is it that you never see any traditionalist in any key post? It is simply because we have gone astray. We need to make ammendments. Ki a ma tan ara wa je, ni didarulko awon Irunmolw ni gbogbo igba. We are all hipocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5th Answer
Mr. Akinfenwa Sunday Muyiwa talked from the viewpoint of those badly affected and brainwashed by hundred years of the colonialists deliberate system of mental slavery. Emancipated people like Prof. Moyo Okediji now easily consult Ifa on the laptop! Emancipate yourself, fully get at breast with our asa ati orisa, then you’ll have an edge.

You seem to lack the knowledge of how things work. First of all Cultural religion or traditional religion is a civilization so as all kinds of religion is. It’s a backlink to identify with a source of creation in other words your ancestors.
What you don’t get is, there has been physiological attack of this precious identity since the fall of Oyo Empire. Even before then, there were religious viruses attack mainly from the west and east (other religions and mostly Christianity and Islam) against the traditional religion or our way of life.
This has always been my argument. When you subjugate an enclave by taking away their voices(Via all sorts of religious propaganda against their traditional invisible religions), you automatically kill their future and what else could come of a subjugated environment ? If anything good, won’t you attack it the same way you did even to their civilization ?

Let me give you a good example here.. Even in the example bellow.. The man found CTE, despite the fact that he identified with the Christians (non believer of Ifa) he was still attacked by the NLF oligarchs. This is the typical example of the attack against the traditional religion of Ifa and any invention or what so ever that comes out of it.

Can you now imagine how the picture would look like if the CTE man in the above video was a believer of Traditional religion ?

Conclusion.. Virtually everything in life is like a war zone. Even human beings are in war with millions of viruses. So to defend our civilization so future people like the CTE guy above can feel proud of identifying with his traditional religion/Ifa destiny. We have got to continue fighting the information war against our traditional religion or identity.
Add yours in the comment box bellow.
