kabiyesiii: @ ODUA_NEGRO: you are not studying, you are reading into Ifa. If you study Ifa some of what i already explained in the primordial tongue will be revealed to you. again, you are applying conceptual reasoning to illustrate the meaning of Orunmila. By your interpretation you are saying that mankind has no contributions in his own redemption, it is a predetermined conclusion by heaven who is saved and who is condemned. the supreme character is not something modeled by God himself, since we are talking about habits and actions and demeanor, they have to be modeled......there is an awakener, a teacher who exhibits these codes of character to lead the way, to set the omoluabi example. who was this divine character, the manifest of the supreme code of behavior, does he have a name? |

Le Ostrich: yoruba never see anything... i stopped reading him half way through, he is one of the yorubas that are yet to understand the dynamics of competition and self-preservation. may God show him the way. anyho, yoruba is still the father of politics in this country. while igbo politics revolve around a daily planning and scheming about secession or why others should seccede, yoruba prefer to continously assess political situation and bring it under our harness. 1 Like |

kabiyesiii: Ifa cannot possibly tell you that adura is made up of the two components, ado and iwa. this breakdown is what you ascribe to adura and its because you believed, outside of any other reasonable explanation, that a concept of prayer exist in ado and iwa. adura is not borrowed from arabic and is not borrowed from islam, it is an ancient yoruba word in yoruba tongue, and does not comprise ado and iwa. islam did not introduce a new language or tongue to mankind. islam simply functioned on a preexisting tongue called arabic. arabis is a family of semitic tongue. all proto semitic tongues derived from ancient hebrew which was originally kanaan. even the children of israel who speak hebrew today did not speak hebrew originally, they spoke aramaic. yoruba was part of kanaan and the tongue is a residual of ancient spoken hebrew. this is why you see a high concentration of common words between yoruba language and the cultures of the meditteranean. if these words were purely through attrition of islamic conquest then words such as "ara" (thunder); "ale" (night); alantakun (spider); and many others which find cognate in arabic should also be found in usage amongst those who we are said to inherit islam, and consequently arabic words, from. there are exclusive words which only are common in semitic roots and yoruba and hundreds of these exist. inspection of all muslim regions bordering yorubaland, to our west and north show that while words like "alubosa"; "alubarika"; "alujonnu" may be common, they do not prove presence by islamic influence. they may have been all along part of the yoruba tongue before islam even ever came to arabia. the presence of words such as i gave above (ara, ale, alantakun) and these- "asha'le" (late night) which finds cognate in the islamic prayer "isha" (late night prayer); "alejo" (guest or traveller) with arabic cognate in "alhaj" (guest or pilgrim) - should incite interest for discovery, rather than doubts and dismissals for whether yoruba and hebrew or semitic tongues are intimately interconnected,. interconnection between the two is not as a result of religious influence and influx but because yoruba was at one point (predating islam) a native of kanaan, the hebrew people. even in religious rites, traditional yoruba worship is close knit with islamic and judaic rituals and egyptian as well. there is nothing of all these that denies pride in the blackness and afro centric culture of yoruba but denying its roots and ancient history is worse than a blasphemy of oath. |
