Many Nigerians Leaving Christianity For IFA Divination by Napata77: 3:02am On Dec 29, 2022
Many guys are going into IFA divination these days, to discover their purpose in life, and other revelations, such as ideal career paths, relationship compatibility checks etc.

Opon Ifa (Divination Tray)



It seems that many people have come to see Church as something that doesn't provide VALUE, in terms of dealing with the here and now. You go there and you pray, and hope the Almighty responds.

Contrast that with an Ifa divination session where the babalawo casts his lots in the Opon Ifa, and INSTANTLY, your entire life mission and life purpose, materialises before his eyes!

Depending on the dramatic nature of what he sees, he might even scream.

Such as if he sees HUGE WEALTH in your front following a particular career or business path you're presently unaware of.

The babalawo can tell you instantly who is practicing spiritual warfare against you, and tell you how to neutralize their evil machinations!

So it's no surprise that many are moving away from this oyinbo Church business, where they pay tithe and other fees with no tangible benefits, while pastor rides private jet, and builds mansion in Lekki.

And are moving to IFA, where real life truths are unsealed.

If you want to join them please do without seeking unnecessary public attention.
Its very common in life to doubt the existence of God atimes most especially if you're passing through hard time,sickness, problems.... Leave Christianity or Islam out of it, it's just human thing.
1- many called themselves christian or Muslim but visit babalawo.
2- there are many pastors or Alfa that can direct or guide you by telling you things about your future or you dream about it yourself.
3- Reduce your Nollywood movies you watch, how many babalawo do you know or visited ? Most of them too na predictions, if it's easy guys for done become rich now.
4- the more you go deep in any religion the more you see and know things. For everything thing you received there is a price for it. In all you do find peace within yourself and be good to all around you ( that's the true religion)

IFA does not deny the existence of a Supreme Being.

You think it was the white man that taught your ancestors about the existence of God the Creator, 200 years ago?

Was it the white man that gave your ethnic group its name for God?

Many of you are so pitifully miseducated about who you are as Africans.

Africans knew of God thousands of years before the first white man or bible existed.

Ifa is african spirituality, its not religion. It is like using internet. If you see exactly how internet works, its similar to ifa.

Most africans run to african spirituality when they are confronted by situation they considered too big for them.
Most mallams, alfas and pastors, bishops etc practice it in their own way.

Alfas that check things up using rosary, or water or sands etc is also a form of it.
I have been to alfas that use sand, another use cowrie. They called themselves alfa or mallam or pastors to make themselves acceptable to their immediate society.

Ifa should be taught in schools like teaching of computer.
All african tribes have their own form of african spirituality.

God bless you for that comment.

I believe that is the sort of thing that can end corruption in Nigeria.

Christianity and Islam leave so much room for hypocrisy, because they're superficial in worship, and there's no real accountability.

They are more about pomp than practice.

More about show than spirituality.

You steal 2 billion and go to a nice big church to praise the Lord or pray for forgiveness. Either way it ends well for you.

IFA IS NOT LIKE THAT.

With IFA, your word is your bond. You cannot promise A and deliver B, and not expect blowback.

African spirituality is great treasure and legacy we inherited from our forefathers.

Any religion you practice, one should be free to use ifa or your own kind of african spirituality like using computer to solve problems.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. wink

The problem is that IFA theology contradicts the most fundamental christian and islamic concepts which stress exclusivity (our way is the truth and yours is heathen, leading to hell etc).

That concept flies in the face of IFA cosmology, which embraces a deep universalism - many cultures must mean many methods to reach the Divine, with none superior or inferior to the other.

IFA does not recognise religions on the basis of their large size of converts, acquired in history through violent, ungodly means.

IFA deals in spirituality, not conflicting outward representations of form, as seen in the 'major religions.'

I suspect that those who get deep into IFA will eventually, if not immediately, let go of their christian/muslim heritage.

Spirituality will trounce superficiality.

How is ifa divination different to pastors giving a prophecy?

Will ifa divination ever tell somebody what he doesn't want to hear?

Are the sessions for free?

IFA priests use their psychic powers to communicate directly with the Universe.

Will ifa divination ever tell somebody what he doesn't want to hear?

Yes. But if the babalawo knows of an impending evil about to befall you, he'll tell you what to do to avoid it, rather than just tell you it is coming.

Are the sessions for free?

Depends on your relationship with the priest. If you're a stranger, he'll charge you. After all he has to eat.

This one is using logic to bring people from Christianity into his ifa business. He wants to bring people from light of christianity back to his ifa darkness. Just keep deceiving yourself. Are there not many ifa worshipers who have converted and even converting to christianity ? There are many ifagbemis who have changed to Jesugbemi, olugbemi and so forth. If they are many that you know, list 100 prominent Christian people that have converted to your ifa that people can easily know.

I am not saying there are no fake Christians, lookwarm and church bench warmers who claim to be Christians but in reality they are not comming to you secretely. But in reality they are not Christians, Christians are those who have personal encounter with Christ and work in His step. Jesus himself warned that in the last days, there will be many fake prophets who will even perform miracles to deceive many and proclaimed to have done those miracles in the name of Jesus.

But at last, Jesus said he doesn't know them which implies they are not Christians (they oppose his way and teaching). Change your heading to fake prophets and yahoo-yahoo boys are comming to ifa and stop abusing that word "Christianity", Christians (christ-like) people woundn't come to you but fake prophets and yahoo-yahoo boys will come you as Jesus predicted but Jesus already denied them as being His. Please, take note of the difference. No Christian will go back into darkness of ifa that Jesus has redeemed us from. It is a self-deceit making anaology between Google and ifa.

When our people were taken away as slaves, they retained their Ifa religion in certain countries like Brazil and Cuba. They never converted to christianity, and remain among the most dedicated Ifa adherents of our time.
