Let me be candid to you, NYSC will never give part time graduates EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE but they can only give you EXCLUSION LETTER. EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE is meant for over age graduates above 30 years. IRE OOO.

Jenwitemi: No, he is not deluded. You are the one needing some education. Satan does not exist in yoruba mythology, so we do not need to call him anything. The error of translation was made by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther when he translated the satan character to esu.

Satan exists in yoruba mythology maybe you don`t know, that is the reason why we need to move to elders to learn, Satan is OLOSI in yoruba mythology. IRE OOO

[quote author=jesus.]contradictory, u worship esu yet u are not satanic. what is esu? what is satan?[/quote]Esu is a divined messenger according to yoruba myths while Satan is OLOSI (Owner of left/darkness/evil) according to yoruba myths as well. IRE OOO

Ptolomeus: Yes. The Esu concept that is associated with evil and the bad, is the result of the colonialists.
Esu (sphere) is the permanent movement, is the first to be independent of creation is the great communicator between Aiyé and Orun ...
Know apologize, dear friends, but I, for training I am not in favor of any kind of syncretism, nor American, nor African ...
For that reason, I do not see any similarity between the Jewish Jesus and Orisa Esu.
But that does not think we move away from each other ... just are opinions ...
My respect and affection to all!

Please ESU is not SATAN, SATAN OR EVIL whatever you may call it is called OLOSI(the owner of left/evil/darkness). IRE OOO

Rgp92: [size=20pt]Creation Myth[/size]

Every culture has stories that
explain how the universe was
created. This is one version of
a creation story that is told by
the Yoruba to explain the
beginning of the universe.
Olorun lived in the sky with all
the other gods. He told
Orisanla, the god of whiteness,
to create the earth for
him. Olorun gave Orisanla
some soil, a chain, a five toed
chicken, and a snail shell and
sent him on his way. When
Orisanla got to the gates of
heaven he noticed some
other
gods having a party. He
stopped to chat with the other
gods for a bit and drank some
of their palm wine. Orisanla became quite drunk
from the palm wine and fell asleep. Orisanla's
younger brother Odua came by and noticed his
brother fast asleep. He took all the things that
Olorun had given him and went to the edge of
heaven with Chameleon.
Odua dropped the chain and climbed down,
throwing some of the soil onto the water.
He then released the chicken and
the chicken scratched out the
earth, expanding it in many
directions until the ends of the
earth were made. Chameleon
then stepped upon the earth to
make sure that it was stable.
Odua followed and settled at a
place called Idio.
Orisanla soon woke and realized
what happened. From that time
on Orisanla put a taboo on palm
wine. Even today those who
worship Orisanla are forbidden
from drinking palm wine.
Orisanla came down to claim the
earth but his brother, Odua
demanded that he was to be the
owner of the earth since he had
created it.
The two brothers
continued fighting until Olorun
heard them and called them to report to him.
Olorun granted Odua the right to own the earth
and rule over it. Olorun then told Orisanla that
he would become the creator of mankind. In
order to keep peace amongst the two brothers
Olorun sent them back to earth with Sango, the
God of Thunder; Ifa the God of Divination; and
Eleshije, the God of Medicine.

I disagree with this explanation, Obatala came to the word for creation, ordered by Odumare he carried out the assignment but along the line he drunk palm wine and started creating abnormal homo sapiens, like Albino, dwarf,hunch-back etc.Later Odumare sent Oduduwa to finish the assignment.That is the reason why Obatala devotees don`t drink Palm wine,i mean genuine devotee.

[quote author=tpia@]interesting.

would like more info on him if possible.[/quote]Ajala mopin is a debtor he does`t stay home, he hides on the ceiling so that nobody will see him when they need their money.That is the reaseon why Afuwape the son of Orunmila had favour from him when he wanted to choose ORI, he paid his debt. You can see this in Odu Ifa Ogunda meji,also in Ogbe Ogunda (Ogbe iyonu). IRE OOO
