There are lots of proof that the ifa(Afa) Divinition of yoruba was really a hand down from the igbo aboriginals of ile-ife, One such evidence is this verse from the odus of ifa(Afa) taken from the paper by O. Euba titled OF BLUE BEADS AND RED: THE ROLE OF IFE IN THE WEST AFRICAN TRADE IN KORI BEADS in
Journal of the Historical Society of Nigeria
Vol. 11, No. 1/2 (DEC. 1981-JUNE 1982), pp. 109-127 (19 pages)

"In the corpus of the well
known Ifa oracle, we are told that the imi osumare "rainbow excrement, is one of the
instruments Olodumare gave to Orunmila, the god of wisdom, when he sent him down
to better the world. The rainbow serpent is personified as Osumare Ego, the 'wife* of
Orunmila who made him very wealthy in his life time. An Ifa verse recalls wistfully that:
It is Osumare Ego that excretes money
It is Osumare Ego that excretes okun (carnelian beads)
It is Osumare Ego that excretes brass
Osumare Ego, Why won't you return to excrete mine?
Osumare"

This ifa verse is recited for blessings of wealth and riches, And the igbo word for money keeps coming up over and over, Note that the word "Ego" has no meaning in yoruba language

Op.. I hail u ooo... Lori iro

Half baked arguments...

People the Yòrùbás got introduced to in 1914 by the British. LMAO!

Hellraiser77:
Ifa must be half-baked then, cos i didn't create it

From what Yoruba translation have you translated your Osumare Ego from?

At least, if you have any arguments, you will do well to quote your Yoruba ifá citations, rather than just writing in English and expecting people to believe that.
