I think so, during the slave trade yorubas amongst other Nigerians found themselves in South and Latin America and they continued their religious practices there. So you have Orisa and other yoruba gods in Cuba, brazil etc. azimibraun: 2 Likes |

They are part of the Idita, one of the original families Oduduwa met in Ife. As an Ooni owns no land, Idita family land starts from Mokuro junction opposite Moore police station to As far as Ife boundary with Ilesa. @ 9jacrip, can you please shed more light on the part in bold? If this your assertion is true, does it support the historical narrative held by some people that the Ooni lineage are actually slaves and not biological descendants of Oduduwa? |

abumeinben: No. I, like me fellow Isese folks, worship the creator of everything natual. Jesus was human, Muhammed was human. We do not worship Obatala or any deity, we follow the path they towed and propitiate them. Every prayer starts with Olodumare and ends with Ase Olodumare. Every human is cut off. 6 Likes |

Timothy3113: No migration from anywhere. Consider language barrier and culture clash, humans have not had much cultural or lingual exchanges at this time. Oduduwa was from one of the several hamlets in Ife. Else, how was he able to create aliuances with the likes of Obameri who became his general among many other living folks of that period who became deified? I am yet to understand what the chain means but all stories point to a chain so maybe he indeed had a chain - what it means and what it was for is what I don't know. |

seunmsg: After Oranmiyan ascended the throne, his lineage took over. So the ruling houses of Ogboru Giesi Lafogido Osinkola Where Oonis after Oranmiyan have come from are all descendant of Oranmiyan through Lajamisan his son. Keep in mind each hamlet in Ife was by the family with its head. The family owned the land of each hamlet no matter how wide or small and the head controlled it. Oduduwa only merged the hamlets into one, he did not control them. The heads controlled their hamlets. His offsprings all moved out from 'ita ajero' in Ife to found or join into different towns we have today. Also keep in mind Oranmiyan who continued his father's rule did not have any land allocated to him in Ife or beyond. The Ora people run the General/Opa/Ora area of Ife. The Idita run Igbo Itapa and Mokuro The Araba control the Enuwa environs. The list goes on. 3 Likes |

yinkarh187:I think you should stop reasoning with the burnt side of your brain. When u move outside Nigeria, to other parts of Africa and South America, you'll realise how beautiful and highly regarded our culture is. I'm not saying any religion is the true religion, however, we need to respect our own culture and traditions. We don't have to depend on imported ideologies. All progressive society guard their culture judiciously but here in Nigeria, some Eediot like you ignore them. 9 Likes |

@ macof I see in some yoruba movies that they use hot drinks when doing yoruba sacrifices or things like that, what is the connection between those sacrifice and hot drinks? |
Re: A Thread Dedicated To Orisa Nla (obatala). by Nobody: 5:51pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
yinkarh187:Sir, it is high time you widened your lexicon. Sacrifices or IPESEs do not necessarily include human beings this belief is what makes the cultural practice profane. Your problem is, you find it difficult to accept that there is a difference between culture / tradition and handiwork. stop being ignorant, seek knowledge, it helps. 4 Likes |
