You were debunked to pieces at the link below:

https://www.nairaland.com/6510453/warri-succession-crisis-oba-benin/54#101590222

In Summary:
(1) Your fake words Ela, Ila do NOT mean God in Arabic language. Also, Ellah is NOT an Arabic word.

(2) Yoruba does NOT belong to the same language family as Arabic and Hebrew.

If you think otherwise, then name one linguist who agree with you.

(3) Which Palestinian told Olu-the-fraud that ق and ك are equivalent!

And where did WiKiPeDiA (let’s pretend Wikipedia is even accurate always) tell Olu that?? I’m waiting!

(4) Which Arabic researcher told Olu-the-fraud that ق is equivalent to ك ??

I really want to know these researchers. C’mon Olu, talk. cheesy

(5) Rubbish? To think this is coming from a rubbish. You failed in real life, you also failed at online fraud. You are a disgrace.

(6) Let me disgrace you finally. Transliterate “TAO” into Arabic with pen and paper. Snap and attach. grin

Who is this fraud of a dullard for Ṣàǹgó’s sake? cheesy

(1) You noted (on a different thread ) that “K” is equivalent to “Q” in Arabic language.

(2) I exposed your falsehood & fakery in that regards on that same thread.

(3) You now proceeded to lie blatantly (on this new thread in an attempt float your sinking ship) that:

TAO said “Q” and “K” aren’t interchangeable in Hebrew language. undecided

(4) I then disgraced you by posting the screenshots of my actual statement and that of your allegation.

(5) Noticing the disgrace on you, you’re now trying to renege back to my actual statement. grin

(6) Instead of apologizing for having misrepresented me out of your desperation, you foolishly and silently went back to my actual statement unceremoniously.

(7) To cap your foolishness, you reneged back to my actual statement; but you did so while trying to hold on again to your old, debunked ‘agnorant’ idea that “Q” and “K” are indeed equivalent in Arabic language.

(8 ) In response to this I’d say: You have proven time & time again (including now) that you are not simply a disgrace, but you’re actually a very big disgrace.

This is because, the Arabic “Q” and the Arabic “K” are not equivalent and such the Arabic word “Qur’an” is an actual Arabic word, while your supposed Arabic word “Kur’an” is not only meaningless, but also non-existent.

Even though you typed this comment with your heart racing and your hands shaking, you still managed to squeeze in lies — your stock in trade.

First of all, I didn’t claim to conduct the archaeological survey of the Middle Niger Valley.

The professional archaeologists did. I have only cited their conclusions and finds. I am unlike you who claim to be who they are not.

Secondly, I do not “intend to link Yoruba people with” any so-called “fossil man” — whatever that means in your schizophrenic world of insanity.

Instead, I have cited the established conclusions from linguistics, archaeology, and ethnographic studies.

It is you (the insane one) who have claimed to know better than the experts. You’re the ‘agnoramous’ and dullard. See ‘agnorant’ as attached. LMAO!

Thirdly regarding the 40,000 y. o. archaeological finds in the Middle-Niger Valley region, are you saying that there are no such archaeological research, or are you admitting your ignorance of such information??

Please point out which of these two applies to you so I can reply accordingly. I need to know whether I am to debunk your ‘agnorance,’ or to rescue you from your ignorance. Please make a choice.

Cheers.

In Summary of the religious relationship among Ifa, Islam and Christianity:
Abímbọ́lá asserts that the Ìfà divination story “is a type of ‘historical’ poetry.” J. D. Y. Peel offers a more nuanced explanation(1984:113):
Every poem of Ifa is an attempt to narrate, through the peculiar structure of Ifa divination poetry,things which the Ifa priest has been taught to believe actually happened in the past. By narrating these stories of the past, the Ifa priest believes that his client can then pick situations similar to his own and advise himself of the best thing to do in the light of the precedent which has been cited for him.........
But Ifá stories recount the basis of belief in Islam, explain the peculiarities of Christian beliefs, and even divine the significance of the coming of railways, all of which are historical developments that came about after the disappearance of Ọ̀rúnmìlà into the palm tree. That is why I conclude that in Ifá practice the inscription system physically marks what Peel calls the “otherness of the past” and authorizes the relative autonomy of commentary in the form of storytelling (1984:127).

Ifa Priest's translation into "purity" is relating to creating power encoded in the word of God. In which it means to be free of flaws or free of imperfections; unsullied. And mimọ as related to mankind is not free of flaws or imperfections; unsullied.

And that,"Orúnmilà", traditionally from Yoruba's priest's view does not mean what you have claimed that it actually means as, "[b]Heaven knows only those who shall be saved" [/b]through usage of dictionary written by Yoruba Missionaries with little knowledge on Yoruba ancestors traditional names interpretation due to their disconnect as a result of "slavery". Instead,"Orúnmilà is a description of Eledumare's concealed authority(áṣẹ̀) IT swallowed and made manifest through the final state known as Ẹ̀là.


[b]And the word “ Ela” literally means “I am light” from the elision e ala. [/b]The ability to become one with the Spirit of Ela is the ability to use Ori as a portal between the visible world and the invisible world. When an Awo is in an altered state of consciousness the thing that passes between dimensions is pure unformed ase symbolically referred to as ala or white light. As this aṣe comes from Ile Orun to Ile Aiye through the Ori of the diviner, it takes shape and is formed by the ofo ase inherent in the oriki spoken by the diviner while in an altered state of consciousness” (Fatunmbi).

Brief oriki of E-ala:
Ìbà Èlàwòrì. Àgbégi lèré, là'fín ewu l'àdò, ènítì Olódùmaré kó pà'jó e dà,
Òmò Olúworíogbó.
I respect the Spirit of Purity, He who carves the cloth at Ado in the form of a sculpture, the one whose date of death has not been changed by the child of the Chief Priest who made all the Heads that exist in Creation.

Ela omo osin. Ela Omo Oyigiyigi ota omi.
Spirit of Manifestation, child of the Ruler. Spirit of Manifestation, child of the offspring of the Stone in the Water.

Awa di oyigiyigi. A ki o ku wa.
We ourselves become manifestation. The stone that birthed the Spirit of Manifestation will never die.

Ela ro a ki o ku mo, okiribiti. Ela ro (Sokale) Orunko Ifá.
The Spirit of Manifestation has descended to Earth, we die no more. This is the name we give to Destiny.

Entiti ngba ni l'a. Nwon se ebo Ela fun mi.
He is the one who saved us. We have made sacrifice to the Spirit of Manifestation.(Falokun Fatumbi)

conclusion: Kindly lean to learn to know E-ala is perfect without flaws and that Alcoholic drunk Obatala is your assertion and others like you who mixed up religion and political tussle. So , Obatala Orisa nla (Ala )don't love to be given alcohol,since this personality is not human. The arch-divinty is not human as same as the defied human hero "Obatala". So, get your fact correctly or post odù Ifa to that effect or commentary of Yoruba scholars to that effect.

And Àlà and Álaṣọ are not the same because your screenshot itself remained helpless. Áṣọ(cloth)+àlà(white)=Aṣọ Àlà; Álaṣọ àlà ki ilọ joko ni ìsọ epo. Common sense ought work here. So, teach yourself Yoruba language.

Before now I thought you were pretending to be dumb.

However, I’m now becoming more convinced that you are actually not pretending. It appears that you’re simply being yourself. In order words that’s who you really are — an extreme ret@rd.

Furthermore did I conjure Islamic belief or Christianity beliefs in Ẹlà worship ? Of course not.
First of all, there is no divinity called Ẹlà in Islam (or even in Christianity). Stop the fraud you janus-faced, pathetic, fatuous liar.

But here you are conjuring information without scholarly written for it imput. So, see how flawful your screenshot is baseless. In which you claim Islam and that I know that Hebrew, christianity do have same.
Yes, I exposed and disgraced you for the fraud that you are.

You had fraudulently claimed that the Yoruba word “àlà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”.

I exposed and disgraced you on this by typing out the meanings of these words from their two respective languages. See screenshot to that comment of mine one more time.

I have no regret that I exposed and disgraced you. I am proud that I did.

In Summary of the religious relationship among Ifa, Islam and Christianity:
Abímbọ́lá asserts that the Ìfà divination story “is a type of ‘historical’ poetry.
I’m genuinely searching (within your statement here) for where Wande Abimbola says that the Yoruba word “àlà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”. undecided

You’re actually the working definition of a dullard. You are a disgrace.

[On a side note, always remember (going forward) to provide the references whenever you feel the need to cite anyone].

J. D. Y. Peel offers a more nuanced explanation(1984:113) Every poem of Ifa is an attempt to narrate, through the peculiar structure of Ifa divination poetry,things which the Ifa priest has been taught to believe actually happened in the past.

This Olu is the actual embodiment of dullard and fraud at the same time. A very pathetic-cum-sorry combination.

First of all, even though you opened this statement with a reference to J.D.Y. Peel, none of the load of statements that follow have anything to do with your fraud.

Your fraudulent idea was that the Yoruba word “àlà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”.

This is not supported by the load of statements you copied from wherever — without any quotation of J.Y. Peel’s own words.

Secondly, you sought again (as is your usual style) to deceive your gullible audience into buying your fraud.

You tried this by simply leveraging on the occurrence of the words “Islam” and “Christian belief” in those copied & pasted words.

This is in order to confuse your low-IQ audience into thinking that the Ifá religion is rooted in and/or originated from the Middle East.

However, nothing of such is said or even insinuated by those pile of copied & pasted words. Those words are about stories (found in Ifa poetry).

And these copied & pasted words are not about the origin of Ifá. Rather they are about all the later-day ‘development’ (viz. the emergence of Ibadan city, the coming of Islam, Christianity, Railway, among diverse innumerable subjects.) in Yorubaland.

I would have also expected you to foolishly come to the conclusion that Ifá originated from “railways” just because of its mention alongside Islam, Christianity in those pile of copied & pasted words.

You are a public disgrace Olu317, and I will make this fact become realized by more and more people.

I think you are suffering from severe autism as well as compounded foolishness.

(1) You say Ila means God in Arabic. [FALSE]

(2) I say ’Ilāh means God in Arabic. [TRUE]

See your own WiKiPeDiA screenshot, as attached, for evidence.

Are you telling me that you’re so extremely ret@rded that you actually can’t see the difference between your fraud (Ila), and the real thing (’Ilāh)?? Wow! grin


——————
PS for the sake of educating sane readers:

The Arabic word “’Ilāh” is the common noun for God.

On the other hand, the Arabic name “’Allāh” is NOT a common noun, but a proper noun for God.

In other words, the English language uses one same word (i.e. “God”) for both the generic sense (common noun) as well as the specific sense (proper noun).

The Arabic language uses two different words (i.e. “’Ilāh” and “’Allāh”) for the generic sense and the specific sense respectively.

On the etymology of the name “’Allāh”, the popular explanation well-know to most lay persons (especially from WiKipEdia) has it that the Arabic name ’Allāh is a combination of two Arabic words, viz. “Al” and “’Ilāh” = Al-‘Ilāh (the God) = God (proper noun).

There are other equally-compelling and some actually more academically compelling explanations. Some of these include the Syriac origin explanation.

Finally, the apparently more correct position is the one recorded by Edward W. Lane on the basis of medieval Arabic dictionaries, and other classical materials. This view states that the word “‘allah” is “not derived”.

[/b]The ability to become one with the Spirit of Ela is the ability to use Ori as a portal between the visible world and the invisible world. When an Awo is in an altered state of consciousness the thing that passes between dimensions is pure unformed ase symbolically referred to as ala or white light. As this aṣe comes from Ile Orun to Ile Aiye through the Ori of the diviner, it takes shape and is formed by the ofo ase inherent in the oriki spoken by the diviner while in an altered state of consciousness” (Fatunmbi).

Brief oriki of E-ala:
Ìbà Èlàwòrì. Àgbégi lèré, là'fín ewu l'àdò, ènítì Olódùmaré kó pà'jó e dà,
Òmò Olúworíogbó.
I respect the Spirit of Purity, He who carves the cloth at Ado in the form of a sculpture, the one whose date of death has not been changed by the child of the Chief Priest who made all the Heads that exist in Creation.

Ela omo osin. Ela Omo Oyigiyigi ota omi.
Spirit of Manifestation, child of the Ruler. Spirit of Manifestation, child of the offspring of the Stone in the Water.

Awa di oyigiyigi. A ki o ku wa.
We ourselves become manifestation. The stone that birthed the Spirit of Manifestation will never die.

Ela ro a ki o ku mo, okiribiti. Ela ro (Sokale) Orunko Ifá.
The Spirit of Manifestation has descended to Earth, we die no more. This is the name we give to Destiny.

Entiti ngba ni l'a. Nwon se ebo Ela fun mi.
He is the one who saved us. We have made sacrifice to the Spirit of Manifestation.(Falokun Fatumbi)

conclusion: Kindly lean to learn to know E-ala is perfect without flaws and that Alcoholic drunk Obatala is your assertion and others like you who mixed up religion and political tussle. So , Obatala Orisa nla (Ala )don't love to be given alcohol,since this personality is not human. The arch-divinty is not human as same as the defied human hero "Obatala". So, get your fact correctly or post odù Ifa to that effect or commentary of Yoruba scholars to that effect.
And Àlà and Álaṣọ are not the same because your screenshot itself remained helpless. Áṣọ(cloth)+àlà(white)=Aṣọ Àlà; Álaṣọ àlà ki ilọ joko ni ìsọ epo. Common sense ought work here. So, teach yourself Yoruba language.

First of all I am waiting on you (since about 6 days ago and still counting) to prove your so-called Arabic knowledge by doing the following:

Please write down the Arabic transliteration of the word “TAO” using pen and paper. Snap whatever you wrote and attach it.

Why should it take you even 5 minutes to do this? Yet you’re still struggling to come up with anything since about 6 days ago and still counting.

I think you are suffering from severe autism as well as compounded foolishness.

(1) You say Ila means God in Arabic. [FALSE]

(2) I say ’Ilāh means God in Arabic. [TRUE]

See your own WiKiPeDiA screenshot, as attached, for evidence.

Are you telling me that you’re so extremely retarded that you can’t actually see the difference between your fraud (Ila), and the real thing (’Ilāh)?? Wow! grin


——————
PS for the sake of educating sane readers:

The Arabic word “’Ilāh” is the common noun for God.

On the other hand, the Arabic name “’Allāh” is NOT a common noun but a proper noun for God.

In other words, The English language uses the same one word (i.e. “God”) for both the generic sense (common noun) as well as the specific sense (proper noun).

The Arabic language uses two different words (i.e. “’Ilāh” and “’Allāh”) for the generic sense (common noun) and the specific sense (proper noun) respectively.

On the etymology of the name “’Allāh”, a popular explanation (especially on WiKipEdia) has it that the Arabic name ’Allāh is a combination of two Arabic words, viz. “Al” and “’Ilāh” = Al-‘Ilāh (the God) = God.

There are other equally-compelling and some actually more academically compelling explanations on the etymology of this name. Some of these include the Syriac origin explanation.

Finally, the apparently more correct position is that as recorded by Edward William Lane on the basis of Arabic medieval dictionaries. This view states that the word “‘allah” is “not derived”.

Don’t trip, I know how to handle fraudulent folks like you.

I have disgraced many fraudulent folks like you who hail from the Edo kingdom of Benin.

Before now I thought you were pretending to be extremely dumb.

However, I’m now becoming convinced that you’re actually not pretending. It appears that you’re simply being yourself. In order words that’s who you really are — an extreme ret@rd.

First of all, there is no divinity called Ẹlà in Islam (or even in Christianity). Stop the fraud you janus-faced, pathetic, fatuous liar.

Yes, I exposed and disgraced you for the fraud that you are.

You had fraudulently claimed that the Yoruba word “alà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”.

I exposed and disgraced you on this by typing out the meanings of these words in from their two respective languages. See screenshot to that comment of mine one more time.

I have no regret that I exposed and disgraced you. I am proud that I did.

I’m genuinely searching (within your statement here) for where Wande Abimbola says that the Yoruba word “alà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”. undecided

You’re actually the working definition of a dullard. You are a disgrace.

[On a side note, always remember (going forward) to provide the references whenever you feel the need to cite anyone].

This Olu is the actual embodiment of dullard and fraud at the same time. A very pathetic-cum-sorry combination.

First of all, every though you opened this statement with a reference to J.D.Y. Peel, none of the load of statements that follow have anything to do with your fraud.

Your fraudulent idea was that the Yoruba word “alà” is equivalent to the Arabic name “Allāh”.

This is not supported by the load of statements you copied from wherever — without any quotation of J.Y. Peel’s own words.

Secondly, you sought again (as is your usual style) to deceive your gullible audience into buying your fraud.

You tried this by simply leveraging on the occurrence of the words “Islam” and “Christian belief” in those copied & pasted words.

This is in order to confuse your low-IQ audience into thinking that the Ifá religion is rooted in and/or originated from the Middle East.

However, nothing of such is said or even insinuated by those pile of copied & pasted words. Those words are about stories (found in Ifa poetry).

And these stories statements are not about the origin of Ifá. Rather they are about all the kinds of later-day ‘development’ (viz. the emergence of Ibadan city, the coming of Islam, Christianity, Railway, among diverse innumerable subjects.) in Yorubaland.

I would have also expected you to foolishly come to the conclusion that Ifá originated from “railways” just because of its mention alongside Islam, Christianity.

You are a public disgrace Olu317, and I will make this fact become realized by more and more people.

Cheers!

The mumu once he sees one word written beside another word will conclude that both comes from the same root, babanla wèrè.

There is no face saving but that you are pseudo at many information you posted. Another one . So study more

Furthermore did I conjure Islamic belief or Christianity beliefs in Ẹlà worship ? Of course not. But here you are conjuring information without scholarly written for it imput. So, see how flawful your screenshot is baseless. In which you claim Islam and that I know that Hebrew, christianity do have same.

In Summary of the religious relationship among Ifa, Islam and Christianity:
Abímbọ́lá asserts that the Ìfà divination story “is a type of ‘historical’ poetry.” J. D. Y. Peel offers a more nuanced explanation(1984:113):
Every poem of Ifa is an attempt to narrate, through the peculiar structure of Ifa divination poetry,things which the Ifa priest has been taught to believe actually happened in the past. By narrating these stories of the past, the Ifa priest believes that his client can then pick situations similar to his own and advise himself of the best thing to do in the light of the precedent which has been cited for him.........
But Ifá stories recount the basis of belief in Islam, explain the peculiarities of Christian beliefs, and even divine the significance of the coming of railways, all of which are historical developments that came about after the disappearance of Ọ̀rúnmìlà into the palm tree. That is why I conclude that in Ifá practice the inscription system physically marks what Peel calls the “otherness of the past” and authorizes the relative autonomy of commentary in the form of storytelling (1984:127).




Cheers

He has written several things as “God” in Arabic.

He has written Ala, Ela, Ila, Ellah — none of which means “God” in Arabic. NONE.

The Arabic word for God is “Allah” (proper noun sense), and “Ilah” (common noun sense).

Olu317 is just being himself — a fraud and dullard.

Ifa Priest's translation into "purity" is relating to creating power encoded in the word of God. In which it means to be free of flaws or free of imperfections; unsullied. And mimọ as related to mankind is not free of flaws or imperfections; unsullied.

And that,"Orúnmilà", traditionally from Yoruba's priest's view does not mean what you have claimed that it actually means as, "[b]Heaven knows only those who shall be saved" [/b]through usage of dictionary written by Yoruba Missionaries with little knowledge on Yoruba ancestors traditional names interpretation due to their disconnect as a result of "slavery".
