List of urban myths and other fanciful tales heard from many in the americas about Orisa Tradition in Yoruba land of West Africa, Yoruba language, Nigeria, etc: -Orisa no longer exist in Africa. -Chief priests of Ifa or other orisa traveled to countries if the diaspora to learn ancient rituals, practices, and shrines that had been lost in Yorubaland. -The language used in ritual in the Diaspora represents ancient Yoruba language that went extinct in Yorubaland. -The worship and priesthoods of Osoosi and Erinle have disappeared or all but disappeared in Nigeria and Benin Republic. -The Alaafin of Oyo (kabiyesi!, iku baba yeye!) sent bata drummers to Cuba to relearn how to play bata because the drummers in Nigeria had forgotten. -Iya Adunni Suzanne Wenger was made the Iya Osun of Osogbo (chief priestess of Osun in Osogbo) because there were no more Osun priests in Osogbo and all of Osogbo’s population had because muslim or christian. -The food called amala in Nigeria is a newer version of the ancient amala prepared in Cuba and Brazil. (Yes, I have literally heard this nonsense!) -The Ooni of Ife performed idobale (layed prone flat on the ground) to the Orisa singer Lazaro Ros when the Ooni visited the island nation of Cuba years ago. (Shockingly and quite embarrassing for cubans and cuban orisa people, this madness was uttered at Miami-Dad College in front of an entire audience by the cuban ethnographer Natalia Bolívar just a few years ago!) -Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin Republic don’t understand the orisa songs of Santeria and Candomble because the language used is a dialect of ancient Yoruba language that was completely removed from West Africa and only preserved in the Diaspora. -Orisa people in Nigeria are now using soperas from the cubans. (…Meanwhile the use of chinese rice bowls and other chinaware has been in uses for several generations in Yoruba land in addition to the more indigenous containers used for Orisa since ancient times. But I guess the myth-makers of the West overlooked their presence in West Africa for at least as long as Orisa has existed in the Diaspora.) -Chief Fayemi Elebuibon, the current Araba of Osogbo, went to Orlando and Tampa area to stay with cuban santeros that live there to learn to consecrate some Orisa that had been lost in Nigeria but preserved in cuban Santeria. -The cult of Oya is almost dead. -Everyone’s favorite, That iyanifas are only a recent “invention” and have no true place in Ifa. -another urban ‘myth’ (lie): Cuban bata drumming is more complex than Yoruba bata drumming because fewer drums are used in the Cuban ensemble -only those initiated in ‘the room’ are allowed in Lucumi but in Africa they allow anyone – even the non-initated into Igbodu. -Nigerians are so poor because they no longer have Orisa – they are savages and had abandoned their traditions. -During slavery they swallowed all the otans an erindinlogun an brought them over from yorubaland across the waters. -That there is no functioning oosa/orisa community and everything is “Ifa”. -When you do tefa you betray the Orisa you were crowned. -You are not a full “Iyalocha or babalocha” unless you have cuchillo ceromony or the ceromony of irete kutan to be licensed as a Obba Oriate. -That idosu is incorrect because it doesn’t (always) take the full 7 days that Ocha does -You can’t perform/do Orisa ceremonies as an Ifa initiate. -“You can’t initiate Olocun, Omolu, or Aganyu directly on the head” -that every person who is a traditionalist, started out in lucumi. -Here’s another one: Gill Sampaio Ominirò said that the system of Eerindinlogun divination performed in Yorubaland was created in Brazil and introduced to orisa priests in Nigeria and Benin Republic. According to him, the system of 16 cowrie divination was created by a babalawo / babalorisa of brazil and brought to Nigeria because before then only Ifa divination existed in Africa! http://www.theyoruba.com/2017/04/see-the-lies-being-told-about-yoruba-religion-in-south-america/ |
