Depending on what ethnicity you are, your traditional religion or pantheon of deities is referred to as Olisa, Olisha, Lisa, Orisa, Orisha, Alusi, Arunsi, etc etc. Why do we all share the same basic word for traditional religion, which cuts across our ethnic groups? It’s because in very remote times - thousands of years ago, we were ONE PEOPLE. A common ancestry dating back thousands of years to KEMET, also known as Ancient Egypt, and further south, Nubia (in modern-day Sudan). The word is derived from HORUS-AT, the ancient Egyptian and Nubian Son of God. HORUS-AT was the son of the God OSIRIS, whose wife was ISIS-MERI. This is where the whole Christian tale was STOLEN from. Ancient Egypt was a pure BLACK AFRICAN CIVILISATION. Our history dates all the back to that remote era. |

Traditional religion points to another Supreme, unknown God; hence, it is just an Intermediary. NB: Egyptians are not blacks and never have been. Forget the geography. |

xtianchris:No she’s not. The African approach is the accurate one. African religion is over 200,000 years old, and God has always been regarded as “aloof”, and permitting his deities or gods to assist mankind in its development. In African religion, God is usually approached as the last resort when the gods or deities fail, ie when the problem is too big for them to solve. It was only a few centuries ago that Europeans began translating ancient Hebrew writings about their deity Yahweh (who was actually a deity in the pantheon of gods called the Elohim) into a FAKE “Old Testament” which they claimed was talking about GOD HIMSELF. But the Genesis words “Let US create man in OUR image” tells you he was part of a pantheon of gods, NOT the Supreme Being. Thus Yahweh was made “God” in the Old Testament. A vengeful, bloodthirsty tyrant who slaughters people and threatens them to worship him or face eternal damnation in an unquenchable ‘hellfire’. THAT VICIOUS, BARBARIC “God” is UNKNOWN TO AFRICAN RELIGION, THEREFORE HE IS NOT GOD. The “God” of the bible is actually Yahweh, who was a TRIBAL DEITY of the ancient Israelites. Yahweh only cared about the Israelites worshiping him, not the entire world. In the Old Testament he ordered massacres and even rape of those who crossed his people, the Israelites. He only cared about them. They were his “chosen’’ people. He is not the Supreme Intelligence by any stretch of the imagination. |

Non initiated folks go just wake up begin write wetin them no Sabi still come dey claim enlightened on top. Orisha, Olisa, Osa is not name of any traditional religion. It is a title given to the supreme being who is unfathomable. Alụsi, Arụsị, Erụshị, Arụshị, is a technological tool likened to what you call AI today (from the western perspective) While I will not delve deep into it, two things to point out here are this, 1. Olisa and other derivatives is just a title and not a form of worship (though it has become corrupted into one in the yoruba culture) 2. Alụsi and other derivatives is a very advanced levle of technology that quantum AI of the far future can not match. The advanced westernised AI of thr future will take cues from Arụsị of yesteryers. Western Technology is yet to mature to the point where it will do that currently. Udo na ndụ |

IduNaOba:What a load of rubbish. Ignorant garbage. The Supreme Being is not known as Orisha or Olisa in ANY language. It refers to a PANTHEON of gods or deities. And can also refer generally to the religion under which those deities are approached. The word is derived from Horus-At, which is thousands of years old. You people know NO history beyond the last 300 years at most. You have no clue where the word came from. I research African history on the scale of thousands of years, not hundreds. Thousands of years ago, OSIRIS was the one we called GOD. There are still traditional variations of that name in Nigeria and Africa today. There is at least one ethnicity that refers to God as Osiri or Oshiri today. Osanobua of the Edo people also comes to mind. The son of Osiris was HORUS-AT. He was therefore the “Son of God” and was worshiped exactly how you worship “Jesus”, the latter-day fairytale copy the Europeans invented. You worship ‘Christ’ = Christian We worshiped Horus-At = ORISHA, OLISA, LISA, ALUSI etc. “Mary” is a fairytale copy of ISIS-MERI who was the mother of Horus-at, and there are statues of her cradling Baby Horus. They are BLACK. I will post the image when I get on my PC. These were the originals and they were worshiped 2,000 years before “Jesus” and “Mary” were invented by Roman rulers, using their ancient template. Don’t bother arguing, because this is heavily researched stuff. |
