OFUN OSA

THE BIRTH ODU OF THE DEFUNCT WESTERN NIGERIA

Ofun smote them with communism
Ofun smote them with the free market
Ofun smote them with plenty of palm fronds
Ofun smote them with free education
Ofun smote them with free healthcare
Ofun smote them with a taxable minimum wage
Ofun smote them with high net worth individuals
Ofun smote them with higher education scholarships
Ofun smote them with a sovereign wealth fund
Ofun smote them with the state being the biggest profit seeker in the economy
It was a cloth of many colors

This was the Ifa cast for the defunct state of western Nigeria birthed in 1951 that broke the entry barrier of the two ideological camps on Earth during the Cold war

They were advised to sacrifice
They listened and complied

The communist leadership in the USSR observed them and saw free healthcare, free education and an economy dominated by the state with no one left behind. They said 'This is communism no doubt'.
The capitalists headquartered in the USA came to observe them and they saw free markets, big freedom, parties, high net worth individuals and entrepreneurs everywhere. If J D Rockefeller was 1000, people like Amos Odutola, Isaac Ajanaku, Lawrence Omole were at least 10. They said 'It is certainly a free market'. Some said 'but their farmers have to sell some produce to government boards!. Then after some research they found out farmers from neighbouring countries willingly sell to the same produce board. It is certainly a free market or it serves the same purpose! They concluded.

Western Nigeria broke the entry barriers of the two warring ideological camps on Earth that didn't see face to face.

To the extremist capitalist, the Action Group party of western Nigeria was a communist party and to the extremist communists they were a bunch of state capitalists in romance with their henchmen who were private capitalists

The Ofun (advantage) enjoyed by the Western region of Nigeria as a result of the debate (Osa) was that if nobody was going to help them then nobody was going to harm them either and some people from the two camps will more likely help them!

Note

My late grand father Chief Josiah Oladiran Lawanson was the founding Organizing secretary of the Action Group and he was therefore the most senior founding member that never contested elections and he was also not originally a politician. He was coopted into the arrangement by the traditional rulers of Yoruba land. According to my Dad who was a pre teen back then at Ile Ife, the Egbe omo Oduduwa that later became the Action Group spent days in Ile Ife in a tug of war to convince him to resign his job and join the Egbe full time. The reigning Alaafin Oyo according to Ifa promised him to pay him from his own government money. Prince Aderemi (Lambua) of Ile ife told me he was a traveling teacher back then which may be the equivalent of an Inspector of Education. He also was an employer of labor with a bookshop and a big home lesson. Another older Prince Aderemi also noted he was a disciplinarian who did not use the idea of bringing up children without using canes. The older Prince then asked me to contest elections in Ile ife despite knowing we are Ijesa! etc etc

The AG was not based on ideology but on what works so they did not align fully with either the Soviets or the Americans exclusively. They aligned with both. For example my Dad, late Pastor John Lawanson studied in Britain, his elder sister Chief Mrs Ajijola studied in Britain, his younger brother late Professor Lawanson studied in the USA and their first cousin Dr Olu Omole studied in the USSR. Go after knowledge wherever it can be found without bending to ideology was the creed. The warring ideological camps could not decide on which side they were on!. It became an advantage for them

The only ways the western region of Nigeria was different from the free market communist economic model I have been describing for years is that.
1. There was no right to a means of livelihood
2. There was no compulsory retirement savings account for workers.

So according to ifa the birth odu of the defunct western state of Nigeria is OFUN OSA. You can teach the ifa to your student as an Oluwo or Awo with omo Awo

The orisas of this odu include Obatala and the Iya mi Eleye

Do you know you were created with the gift of the prophetic? And THE CREATOR put it in you so HE can use you to solve your own problems, your family's problems, people's problems and even societal problems. That gift is still waiting to be awakened, and your prosperity in this life as well as the fulfillment of your destiny on earth is tied to that gift.
You have leaned on your own understanding for so long now, it's time to surrender to THE LORD, your MAKER, who is THE CREATOR of Heaven and Earth.
You've been depending on Ifa predictions and knowledge for so long, now it's time to lift up your eyes to THE LORD who Created all knowledge including Ifa, for that thing you are looking for in Ifa is in you. And it is THE LORD who put it in you, it is HE who will activate it in you. And it's time.
You can continue to rebel, or you can finally surrender. But remember this your prosperity, the prosperity of others and the fulfillment of your destiny is tied to this gift and until you surrender to THE LORD the gift remains dormant. And if you go through your life without unlocking this gift, it will passed to an offspring ( maybe yours, maybe not) in your father's family. For this gift is a project THE LORD wants to use to change your family's story and bless the family for service rendered to HIM.
Peace be unto you.
