Iwori Osa A Congregation Is Always Wiser Than An Individual. by lawani(op): 8:47pm On Jul 30, 2024
Iwori Osa

A congregation is always wiser than an individual.

This was the IFA cast for the nation where the plans of the government must be peer reviewed by an assembly of elders.
They were advised to sacrifice.
They listened and complied.
Onlooking people of Po and Offa
Vital plans and decisions for a whole nation should not go without peer review.

Notes.
Decisions reached by consensus serve the community better than decisions reached by a single individual and that is the power and importance of the ancient Ogboni brotherhood. The Ogboni of an ancient Yoruba nation was the supreme court of that nation and the Oba was not more than a messenger of the Ogboni who can overrule him or her on any issue after elaborate debate.
Nothing except personal issues should be left to individuals to plan. Every plan should be the result of a debate and that was the relationship between the Ogboni and the Oba or Kings of Yoruba nations in the past.
Even personal plans are best arrived at after debates. Iwori Osa.

The Ogboni is not the highest Court nor a gathering of king makers

If you were a student of history, you would know that the Ogboni act as the Judiciary arm in the ancient Yoruba nation, especially the old Oyo empire.

yes but they were more than that because they also peer reviewed the King and can overrule the king on any issue. They can also summarily remove the king
