By Agency Reporter April 10, 2019

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, on Wednesday said that the Google originated from the ‘Ifa’ also known as the oracle.

The traditional leader said that without ‘Ifa’, Google would not have been created.

Ogunwusi said this during the press tour of the tourists sites within the ancient city ahead of the Tourism Innovation and Development Innovation Conference (TIDA) slated for April 24.

The theme of the forthcoming conference is:” Impact of Sustainable Tourism Development and Marketing of Tourism Destinations on Host Communities”.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that ‘ Odu Ifa’ refers to the verses of the literary corpus that are usually consulted by people who believe in its efficacy before embarking on any project or activity.

It is also a West African religion and system of divination

Ogunwusi said that ‘Ifa’ as a form divination was all about sourcing for information and knowledge through traditional consultation.

The traditional ruler said that Google could be regarded as the modern way of sourcing for past information and what was likely to happen in the future too.

He said that ‘Ifa’ originated several thousands of years ago and is seen as the voice of the almighty God referred to as ” Orisa Oke” which is supreme to other lesser gods.

” Without ‘Ifa’, there could never have been the google, so the google is the modern-day version of ‘Ifa’ .

” ‘Ifa’ is all about information, getting knowledge from the Almighty God.

“Whenever you search the google for information or knowledge, you are consulting ‘Ifa’; and without ‘Ifa’, there would not have been the google.”

He said that ‘Ifa’ was still relevant in contemporary time t saying that was why people were still consulting the oracle for information and solutions to their problems.

Ogunwusi explained that if the modern day youths and the educated wanted to know the date of any important event, they would search for it from Google.

‘That is part of the functions that Ifa’ does for its believers and followers; that is the truth but it may sound strange, ” he said.

The Ooni who is the custodian of the Yoruba culture and tradition called on Nigerians to embrace traditional worships peculiar to their communities.

He said that would not stop them from practising other modern religions. (NAN)

Come o...e be like say this Oni dey high codedly?

is he high on cow dung like bubu

In essence, Google has replaced God and Ifa.

Ifa uses the binary code system thousands of years before before the computer was developed. That is what he was probably trying to say.

True. Ancient Africans devised the Binary Code upon which our modern computers are based. Sacred geometry was the vehicle for its operation. At its peak, people communicated through telepathy. Cell phones are actually a downgrade.

It is only a comparism statement as to what ifa is to our progenitor while google is to this generation to check what's happening in society..

All inventions are just witchcraft transformed into technology..

Just when you think you've heard it all, his Majesty turns up the volume!!!!

This is the most ignorant African statement.
It pains me a lot of people believe this rubbish.
Ask them what a witch looks like and watch them fumble, saying ‘it’s our ancestors who likely saw them. May you never come across one.’.

We know d swagga personified king frm ife loves fresh green leaves. It's no pain saying where he gets his inspirations from

Most of you talking before me seem to believe that the King has taken something...but what of if it is something that has taken him.

Are you trying to say there's not witchcraft?

Even the white people practice it.. Unlike Africa, they put their own into technology hence inventions.
