Now this is where it gets "voodooical". Everybody is interested here.

Ori is Yoruba equivalent for God, as used in the proverb, ori lonishe... Note that they did not say "Ori-nu", (translated roughly as luck or individual aura) which is different from "Ori" that is Head. Whenever we see Ori- and -Eda together, we know its duality of man and his creator. To the Yoruba, this goes together: Ori mi ye o jah! Ja funmi, eda mi ye o jah! Ja funmi.

Oni kaluku lo leleda tie

Everyone has his or her own Creator? Not particularly. Olorun-Eleda is an established phrase in Yoruba lexicon. People says, Tobaw'oluwa, Tobaw'Ori, Tobaw'Eleda mi. Eda is Yoruba homonym for replica or copy of the original. We are all replica of the creator, that make us his creation or each of us is a copy of the maker. When the Yoruba says Onikaluku lo leleda tie, (everyman with his own god?) they were saying everyone represent his maker, or everyone is a replica of the maker.

Its simple but not really simple once personal agenda is heavily enmeshed. But the truth should not always elude us forever, the value of the truth is to be found when needed, not when it's need is stale.

Ok for now. Again my name is Ladi, this is what I do, "word processing". It is a sweet science.
