False.
Olodumare is aloof and doesn’t concern himself with earth and humans, it wasn’t his idea to create humans or earth, it was obatala and orunmila idea. He passed the duty on earth to Orishas.
Destiny means something has been predestined before you were born. How then can i have created it?
God is a title not a person, the Israelite god is called Yahweh while yoruba god is called Olodumare.

Where you getting your info from?

HaykynLibra:
Yes, it is.. In Osun state whenever u stop a mini bus known as korope, maybe the bus moved ahead of u by some distance, don't be surprised when he reversed back to where u are.. Unlike Lagos where u have to run up to the vehicle or wrestle with alot of persengers b4 u board a bus else u are not ready to go.. And withdrawing 4rm POS is relatively cheap also.. I wanted to withdraw 1k, I gave N100 for d transaction fee, lo and behold, N50 was returned back to me.. I was dumbfounded.. Osun is really a cheap state to live in.. No doubt

He created human not just head. Where you getting your info from?

Obatala also created Earth. I’m not talking about incarnation.
What you said about “ajala mopin” is FALSE. It is ajala mopin that forms the head not “setting incarnation”.

Maynnmann:
But you know in yoruba mythology, Olodumare is aloof.
It was obatala that created humans and earth with the help of Olodumare first born, orunmila.
And in yoruba mythology, Olodumare is not the only supreme god, olokun is also at par with him.

My expectation is that the creator's notion of perfection is beyond that which the human minds can conceive.

My idea of perfection cannot be achieved by humans because humans are by nature are fallible.

PetroDolla2020:
Watch your mouth nigga! Who is not talking sense? You have never been to Ghana. You don’t live there. Yet you know more than me, who is Ghanaian and lives in Ghana?

And you even have the guts to tell me, PetroDolla, I’m not making sense? Now, if I tell you that I know more about Nigeria than you, a Nigerian what will your reaction be? Think we’ll before you talk,huh? Fuckeduppedness

And where did you learn the nonsense that Ewes are Ife people? Tell me one thing Ewes and Ifes have in common? Name just one.

Kobojunkie:
Well, your personal idea of paradise may not be my personal idea of what paradise should be hence the reason why I asked if that list is yours of Olodumare's actual list.

2. If you have to set new targets after that list there is attained, then that means what you have isn't perfection. If all perfection is simply the same as what we are used to which are continually moving targets, then how can we call it perfection?

Kobojunkie:
This is what Olodumare considers the standard of perfection for man in this dimension.

Kobojunkie:
can humans, an imperfect species, really ever derive or achieve perfection?

Before oyinbo came to the shores of Nigerians, Manu of you olodumare worshippers didn't really concern yourselves with the science of the white man and his many accomplishments up until that point in time, but here you now tell us that Olodumare's plan is for men to achieve perfection in what is really been majorly the science of the oyinbo, how come?

Kobojunkie:
I don't understand. Why does perfection have to be about these advancements ? Why not something better or more meaningful??

Kobojunkie:
So the job of perfection involves advancements in all sectors of what is human science?

That is the cloning job we are all here on earth for? If we are most of us broken - focused on selfish desires - how then or when do you expect perfection will ever be reached? How many more billions of souls will be needed to accomplish that task?

Kobojunkie:
So this is a cloning Job going on here of what is another dimension? So how does this dimension become as perfect as the other dimension?

Kobojunkie:
Does Olodumare promise you a destination after death or is it a return trip back to earth after death?,

PetroDolla2020:
Can you imagine! You have never been to Ghana and yet you talk as if you know everything?

Well, there is nothing like yourabaland in Ghana, Yes, there are Yorubas from Nigeria who have lived for about 100 years in Ghana, but they are Nigerians who came to hustle in Ghana. I believe there are Ghanaians who have lived in Nigeria for many years. Are these Ghanaians Nigerians because they have lived in your country for many years?

You mentioned Amedzofe. To the best of my knowledge Amedzife is in the Volta region. Yes it is in the Eastern part of Ghana. But the people of Amedzofe are Ewes and have nothing to do with Yoruba. I don’t know where you got your history from. But you need to review your source or information.

Orisirisi on Nairaland.

Mr. Aborisha, ride on.

PastorAIO:
Innovation is not bad per se but we should supplement hypothesising with practical experiments. When you come up with a theory, first try it out and if you do and it works then you can report the results to the rest of the world. However if you are going to just theorise blindly then there is no end to human imagination. You'll end up saying the most outlandish things and if anyone follows your theories in practice they may end up hurting themselves seriously.

PastorAIO:
There is a distinction between Egungun Ara Orun. and Egungun Alaso.

PastorAIO:
But you can serve the Ori of other. people.

Ifa. can. tell a man that if he wants to. prosper he should go and feed the Ori of his wife. This happens a lot. or the ori of a. child.

Meanwhile Babalawo. can help a devotee to serve his Ori. A person that wants to feed his Ori can call his friends to help him to do so.

I don't even know what you. mean when you say 'worship'. Do you mean offering of ębo?

FOLYKAZE:
Olodumare is God just like the other Irunmoles are God.

Olodumare is one of the Irunmoles. 401 is more than one hence Orisha system is polytheism.

Everyone is supreme in their own domain. Eledumare is the supreme of ALL just like Brahman.

Ori is the supreme in ones life.

Egungun is supreme to Ori.

Orisha is supreme to Egungun.

Eledumare is supreme to ALL.


Ori, egungun and orisha are Gods. Stop mistaken deity as a separate thing from god. They are same thing.

Awo yin Ifa, Ifa yin Olodumare.

I still haven't grasped egungun and its relevance in Yoruba religion.

Egungun as a system was instituted by Alaafin Sango in rememberance of Oranmiyan. Egungun's concept is to remember dead ancestors or dead relatives.

How does one praise Ori and Ori goes to praise Egungun when Ori precedes Egungun as far as existence goes?

Ori supersedes Orisa as well.

Ori is next to Olodumare.

It is the Ori that picks whatever Orisa that suits it.

I do not necessarily see where Egungun comes in, really.

You're right Nigeria doesnt generate enough revenue. They're almost too dependent on oil revenue. Its so bad the Nigeria has on of the lowest tax to GDP ratios in world at under 6%. We need a tax reform policy and stronger collection.
