It is opportunity for me to be alive and showing this. It all began last year March as I went to Igbajo for rememberance rite of my grandpa. Grandpa was not good in English but he can write Yoruba. He does not practise Christian orMuslim, not even devoted to any religion as at when I know. Grandpa likes us all, did not care about material things as such.
My daddy and mummy have told grandpa to come and be living with us in Osogbo he refuse. He said who will take care of the house in Igbajo? I remember grandpa use to boast of coming from a family that fight in the Kiriji War, but unlike many Igbajo people, he does not hate people from Imesi Ile. One baba Fadiji of Imesi Ile was even his friend, according to what he told us.
Baba use to talk about peace of mind to us his grandchildren. He use to emphasize fearlessness. Baba said that God has been left out of all religious books. That's where my father disagrees with him in those days: my dad said that God can only be found in the Quran.
Because of different religion or let me say the non-concern nature of Grandpa, our dad did not use to visit him in the village again till he died in 2002. We went to grandpa's house last year, it was in shamble, look like chicken house.
My dad still believe that he did not commit any offence for neglecting grandpa since 1998. When I searched into grandpa's document, that was when I knew the reason that old man did all the things he has been doing.

Grandpa has exercise books, dirty and old ones. Funny thing about the handwritings in the books is that some of them have big writings written on three rows of exercise book lines at once but some have tiny handwritings so small five to six lines can enter inside one row of exercise book lines. A change must have happened in grandpa's life. Yes and the change can be noticed in the content of the texts.
Since last year I have been looking for how to make it public, no way. I don't have money and all the public websites i know want money. I eventually find nairaland just last month.

The story I have is very long, all found inside my late grandpa's house. The latest date of the writing was in 1979 far before I was born but what amaze me is that some things inside the story look like recent events. His predictions happen in many instances.

First before I post the content of the very long story i will post the pictures I took. I snapped few of the pages of the book, they are in my phone. I will post pictures of my grandpa's house in Igbajo.

The summary is we yoruba are not from bible or quran. We have our own origin from our lands.

Your baba's story is more or less his family background and experience on earth. Is there any part of it that really deal precisely on Yoruba history? Perhaps, you can shed more light on it.

your grand dad discovered himself, realised what life and humanity is all about, so refused to follow your dad to town to enjoy eureka time in the village

please enlarge the write up and p[ost.

How was it written?
Was it copied from another book or something. I understand you said it's for your grandpa but I believe that book is not too old.

Or is it that your grandpa got the information lately? Was it passed to him?

Thanks.

Also, if you find it difficult to write them as I have tired waiting, can you help by snapping them but this time around, clearly.

Thanks once again.

Wow. That's Gold right there. Translating it to English would give some of us joy. Your gramps discovered himself. Fulfilled man.
