If you are not nice, they complain that you are not. Now that you are, they say you are desperate. BTW which mumu guy agrees with all a lady says?
Guys just be yourself joor & don't fake anything. There's a gurl for every guy.

In the first place, must the guy be linked to KSA. Does he not have his own name. For God's sake, the drug-pusher is above 18, let him answer for himself. He no longer works for KSA PERiOD!!!

Goodluck man, God will answer our prayers. This year must not pass us by

Am I the only one that has missed the Egberi Papa? I hope he has not exploded after he blew. I was eating fried plantain last night when it suddenly struck me that someone is missing. Please nairalanders, help me find the Plantain boy.
Home, Abroad or on Exile, where is Timaya?

In Nigeria, everyone talks grammar just to attain prominence. Who is Gbanite or is it Granite again?
Enough of the talks. Democracy is more than talks. Let's pray for wisdom for the current government and stop cheap politiking

Hope this doesn't increase the already high rate of drug abuse.
Please o, take note

Well, I'm sure Nigerians won't be disappointed. Wish them luck though

Congrats OP. I know the test was on 15th December,2012. When did you receive the congratulatory message?

I can see you have a problem, slowpoke

saxywale: Thanks for bringing that to my notice..Mr wannabe moderator.

Bros, why not open your own thread. You hijacked someone else's thread with your 'never-ending' epistle

saxywale: I see nothing wrong in studying Ifa, It's one of UNESCOs heritage culture. This is highly commendable.
Note: This is not an advertisement


The Ifa Heritage Institute, Nigeria is the only Higher
Education institution in the world that specializes in
the study of all aspects of Yoruba indigenous culture.
In November 2005, UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
proclaimed Ifá as one of the 86 traditions of the world
to be regarded as Masterpieces of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity. UNESCO then
enjoined all nations and peoples of the world to give
their unflinching support to these traditions so that
they would not perish.

The Ifa Heritage Institute is a post-secondary
institution in Oyo Town, Oyo State, Nigeria, sponsored
in part by UNESCO and endorsed by the Federal
Government of Nigeria. The objective of the Institute
is the preservation and propagation of Ifá as an
indigenous African body of knowledge within the
settings of a modern and contemporary educational
system.

In the past three years, the Ifa Heritage Institute has
developed programs on Ifa and other aspects of
Yoruba culture, and taught those programs
successfully to three sets of students, two sets of
which have already graduated.

The Institute is grateful to the Japanese Government
for their donation which has enabled us to acquire a
VSAT, video satellite capability. We are hoping to be
able, during the coming academic year, to develop
online programs which will facilitate participation of
interested students from around the world. This will
not preclude international students from coming
physically to Oyo to enroll in our diploma program,
but will be an additional way interested persons can
participate in the program.

FACULTIES of the IFA HERITAGE INSTITUTE are as
follows:

1.Department of Ifá Studies The vastness of the
knowledge contained within the Ifa divination system
is almost unfathomable. In this department, students
will be taught the rudiments of Ifá divination, focusing
especially on chanting and interpretation of Ifá
stories. We would like to preserve the orality of Ifá;
therefore the primary focus of the Faculty of Ifa
Studies is the oral memorization of Ifá literary verses
and the interpretation of the same. There are 256
Odù of Ifá. Each Odù contains 800 stories, yielding a
total of 204,800 stories that deal with different
aspects of Yoruba mythology, history, medicine,
philosophy and other ideas. Each Odù can be
regarded as an oral or unwritten "book" of this
comprehensive compendium of knowledge. Students
will learn verses from each of the 256 Odu, their
meanings and practical application.

2.Department of Languages The languages to be
taught in this department are Yoruba, English,
Spanish, Portuguese and French. This department will
focus on both the oral and written forms of the
Yoruba language so that students who complete the
program would be able to speak the Yoruba language
very well and also be very literate in the subject. The
English language will also not be neglected. The need
to include Portuguese and Spanish is because these
are the two languages which the teeming millions of
Yoruba people in the Diaspora speak, especially in
Cuba and Brazil. Of course, we all know that our
brothers and sisters in Benin and Togo Republic speak
French in addition to the Yoruba language. English
and Yoruba will be compulsory, and each student
should pick one of the remaining three languages.

3.Department of Medicine All the herbs in the
Yoruba floral and fauna are believed to have been
named and categorized by Ifá and his younger
brother Osanyin since very ancient times. In the
Department of Medicine, we will devote our attention
to the study of our indigenous medical practices,
therapeutics and pharmacopia. Time will be devoted
to the identification of medicinal leaves, roots, and
barks of trees, the preparation and administration of
different forms of medicines, and how to diagnose
and treat illnesses in the indigenous African way. The
Ààreèsègùn, chief Medicine Man elected by the entire
community of indigenous healers, will play the lead
role in this department.

4.Department of Performing Arts In the department
of Performing Arts we will teach the music and dance
associated with Ifá in West Africa and in the African
Diaspora, such as bata music, dùndún music, and
music made from iron gongs called agogo, which is
the most favorite dance step of Babalawos and
Iyanifas. Theoretical instruction will be complemented
by real live performances and instruction delivered by
local experts in the respective arts.

5.Department of Indigenous Technology In this
department, we will focus on the mechanisms,
machinery, tools and materials required for the
production of beadworks, metal works/blacksmithing,
calabash-carving, preparation of indigo dye-stuffs,
and other indigenous textile products. Computer
technology and design will also be an important part
of the curricula.
