Ofin (Part 2: the concluding part)


Enigmas are rife in Yoruba vocabularies. A student of Yoruba history should equally be a student of Yoruba enigma. But he must have the innate ability to unravel enigma and make clear and presentable meaning for that. Let’s say enigma translates to aditu [/i]in Yoruba.

Who created the Yoruba enigma? Scholars of old too many to remember, but really great to forget, we study them by their contributions to the motifs of our ancient colloquial. Our guide tonight is –fin and how this transitive verb shaped ideas in Yoruba tradition. Let’s get to work.

Igufin: Well I don’t know what this word stands for, but it’s an ancient quarter at Ado, it could mean “the piercing law”. If that interpretation could stand is not what’s important, the word is making an entry into Yoruba lexicon tonight, courtesy, -fin.

Kolofin: this is not the first time you are hearing that word, but yiu may have to explore its meaning for the first time. To unravel its interior meaning, assume you read “colorfin”. And from what we already have for Ofin, [i]kolofin [/i]is to stain the purity of what is thought to be pure.

Arufin: here is a derivative of ofin as a rule. The word “a-ru-fin” derived from “one who breaks the law”. Now what codex are the ancient Yoruba talking about? What’s their name for their law? It’s called Ewo. What’s that? It’s an enigmatic form of “Iwo” which means “forbidden”.

Lest we forget, Yoruba words don’t have exact match in English grammar; therefore, Iwo is pertinent to iwo, Yoruba for “you”. And what informs this option? An exact alternative exist-“agbedo”. These two are replica of the same word in their original source.

Yorubas Memoirs Of The Laws Of Moses


Ewo is synonymous with agbedo: the two words are pronouns for “thee” and “we must [not]”. Combining the two for clearness brings back memories, “iwo ko gbodo”. “thou shall [not]”. There is a colloquial I used to know, “ewo, idi ‘fanla” (the “thee” scroll of the greater Ifa).

Olokun was the greater Ifa. He was the hero that gave us a law on Mount Sinai. A memorial of Olokun is the saying, Ifa Olokun asorodayo, omo inajoko majerun meaning Ifa originated with Olokun, whose words brought joy, son of the Fire that burns the bush without its consumption.

Olofin Oduduwa

Olofin: this is the historical piece from which the tradition of the descent of Oduduwa is anchored. However, it’s a faulty premise. Olofin is akin to ateworo. Arufin is akin to Oruwo or Oluwo, one who breaks the code of ethics. And why is ateworo not atewonro? Its about "law" and "conviction".

Oduduwa was an icon in Yoruba history whose life's event revolves around the rule of law, not someone swinging up and down the sky. Pitching the idea of Oduduwa around misconception shows how lazy folks are to verify facts and uphold the truth. Yoruba records are sacred facts.

Justice is not mythology

Ewon is Yoruba for chain, tether, yoke, and prison. An elewon is a prisoner. Atewonro? That’s someone who beat the law that could have imprisoned him. That’s the tailspin interpretation of the word in question. But here is the test of true historian: antique tradition is not recently hatched.

Did Yoruba of old have iron chain “made in heaven”? Perhaps not, “ogbon kii tan l’aye ka wa r’orun”. Chain as tether came with the advent of the European slave traders, so how then place chain in yoruba antiquity where the only service it renders is “follow come” with Oduduwa?

Observe Yoruba for yoke, okun, ibode, ide. Eleda mi ma gbabode means “my creator, do not allow me to be put in tether” in other words, “Oh my God, don’t get me yoked as captive”. Being put in fetter is common form of captivity in the ancient world. Ide preceded "ewon" by millenials.

An historian must not be swayed by improvised tradition which appears historical because a popular icon is caught in the ebb of misconception. This is the blink that tells the practitioners apart from the fake. Ifa records "rope" as yoke at the time of old thus:

Eekun abara yiyi
Alufo lorun keregbe
Adia fun Olukosi Ope
Tii s’omo Olorun ansaadi
Ifa, iwo l’omo onikosi Ope,
Ifa, iwo l’omo Olorun ansaadi.
Ifa gbamio, iwo lo t’onii gba,
Ifa gbami lowo olokun gbooro.

Lmao you call me a psychopath. Because I ask you to provide evidence for your claims grin cheesy

Instead of crying and ranting simply do the needful and stop trying to use Yoruba to feed yourself, go into something productive not destructive. You are not fit to be taken seriously on yoruba historical matters
I have embarrassed you severally for you to do a rethink of this your evil and shameless agenda

Ok sir. I thought as much.

macof:


1. I already posted that twice. And the "descent from heaven" is not incoherent, maybe you mean not historical...which i agree. But it is part of yoruba tradition. If you had appreciation for tradition you would not set out to blatantly mock it like non-yoruba trolls do. it proves that you have no regard for yoruba tradition

2. Amazement, fascination.. That is what draws people to pseudohistory. A historian such as myself would not take what someone obviously made up as history
I didn't say sultan Bello's made up story is ethnically biased, nobody says that in the historical community
The question was simple... Why take the story of a fulani over what the Yoruba people say about themselves?

3. this was your response in defence of Sultan Bello's canaan origin of yoruba.
"Furthermore, The story is not made up because, as at today, the only thing being remebered abuot Opa Iranmiyan obelisk is that, it used to be a place where kings from other vassal state fashioned after Ileife take oath of allegiance and ordained as king"

going totally off point as usual.



4. it is Ifa. not Ifaodu. or you mean "odu ifa"? Odu-ifa are collections of stories and sayings. There are 16 principal Odu and 256 maximum. Where is this in connection to the Ephod? Is Ephod a system in which a chain of 8 cowries or 16 palmnuts are used to cast divination with a set of stories and sayings as guidance? answer is No

the Ephod is a garment worn by the jewish priests during ceremonies, yes sometimes used as a divination tool but the Ephod is not a system of Divination, it is a sacred garment not a system

while Ifa is not a piece of clothing or a tool. it is a system.

in West Africa we have Iha, Ifa, Afa, fa amongst the Igbo, Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, Edo which are all the same thing, but you are trying to force Ephod (a garment) into the mix. It makes no sense

b. post screenshots of the books and websites

c. they enter it by walking in with their backs? is that it? that there is lmao grin
it is the same in Igbo shrines, same in Hindu shrines....i am sure it is a worldwide phenomena not unique to yoruba shrines and the kaaba

Also why is it that you pick so called similarities from all over the middle east, you will pick how to enter a shrine from arabs, pick "baba" from aramaic, pick opa oranyan inscription from hebrew? you don't even know where exactly you claim yoruba originate from anymore

5. You have been giving "super information" as claims here, if you know you have no intention to support your claims with the evidence you also claim to have then why so serious about the claims here?
You just make a claim here and expect to be taken seriously wothout providing any evidence for them. Make all your claims in the book where you want to provide your evidence. Just as AbsoluteSuccess blundered in his break down of the words Olofin and Atewonro in his book by using the same level of his NL posts to write a book, do not just pour out your imagination, provide evidence
Afa ifa fa iha divinsion in west africa all have root from Ile-ife

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by absoluteSuccess: 2:10pm On Jun 17, 2020
Now to make further progress, let's look at the manifestation of the idea that crystalize as ewon in it's various derivatives in Yoruba language.

Àwòn: Net, so named for being a "trap" to drag fish from the river in certain "measure".

Àwôn: folks, group of people of certain interest. Awonrinwon for instance is a name for the alligator with the Yoruba, but it's also a metaphor for "àwôn Orin won", a variation of "àwôn olo'wonrin".

Olowo-rin could mean wandering emigrants or group emigration. Òwó, near Ado means "the emigrants". Wo is akin to "wandering" in English grammar. From this comes iwode, mass movement or protest.

Ìwòn: scale, also known as osuwon, it's the symbol of justice in modern legal institutions, ìwòn is to balance two sides of different value for the same mass.

Ìwòn: measure, volume: as found in iwonba or ìwòn igbati (measure of time), iwonngba (measure of age with height in children). When children argue their age and compare their height, the comparison is iwonngba.

Ewon:

This word came with the legal institutions to the Yoruba. However, imprisonment had a long history in Yoruba culture. It's the king that imprisons the subject, kings were the judge.

Ewon in traditional Yoruba is tubu, and to be tied here is igbekun, "living in bondage". Being tied up therefore is ide. Even the west who had mastery of the chain before the Yoruba used "yoke" in antiquity, because "stock" was the fad and not chain.

Here's a piece from an introspective folksong

Enitojaale a dele ejo
Enitojale a dele ejo,

Adeleejo adajo a fewon silese
Fewonsileese bi oku igbe

Enitojale a dele ejo.


From the above, the concept of ewon comes through Ile ejo, (court). The song informed that the Judge will put a criminal in chain. Thus the chain is a metaphor drawn from imagery from slavery into imprisonment.

[i]L'ayetimo wa kaka kinjale,
Kaka kin jale ma kuku deru,
Kini o f'olese laye timo wa?[i]

But there's still something spectacular in the song about the ancient Yoruba's justice system. "Adajo a fewon silese... bi oku igbe". The song compared the new system to the old.

The song is in-between the two worlds. Late past and early present in Yoruba history. So we can trust to pick valuable insight from the song. A good instance of this is the idea of oku igbe. Let's exermine it.

Oku igbe: we always says jocularly that someone is an "oku igbe", but the old folks song said a man is chained like an oku igbe, and with that token, the meaning of the phrase become clearer. So, what is okuugbe?

Oku igbe is someone who is tied up and thrown in the bush to die for his offense. The justice system of the ancient Yoruba referred such as Oku igbe, not elewon. Thus it is a slang for notorious criminal in ancient Yoruba.

Oduduwa and the Yoruba justice system

Oduduwa was in connection with a problem with the justice system, at first she fled as fugitive (Osa) and later returned to fight the legal system as a trained lawyer or thinker with her counsels.

We have the clue in her name, Oduduwa "the runaway that ran back". Odu in Awori means to "sa", as it's found in the line "kutere asa loogun". She fled for her life first and return with strategy that frustrated her adversaries.

First, her escape saved her life, odu du wa. How she fought her way to prominence is the ateworo phase of her legend. Odu was her profile name, not her birth name, so the wordsmith who coined the name Ooduwa leaned on her profile for the alias.

Olu317:
Lol. Deceit js what you know how to do. So, I won't answer your question to pick more Hebrew words from me. But I will post what and when I desire. So, stop behaving as unread person.

1. What is the Yoruba story ? Please explain beyond incoherent information of descending from Heaven grin . You people aren't realists! Well, my ancestor in my Oriki mentioned Oru as their place of origin, Am I also from Heaven grin ?

2. Bro macof you skip information nos: 2! Are you under pressure ? cheesy !

3. I didn't mentioned Sultan Bello says, Opa Orammiyah in his account. You and lie are like 5&6. Interestingly other scholars who have more knowledge on Egyptians hieroglyphs did research on it and they realised it wasn't built by Egyptians elite nor its type found in Sub Sahara,although Ibos have a pyramid, which is similar to the one found in Egypt. So, the conclusion as at that time, was that there are characters on the Opa Oranmiyan. Deal with it

4. Yoruba's Ifaodu is written in Torah as Eyphod or Ephod. Google can help you find the proposed meaning of it on Wikipedia.

b. Pick up books to know that shrines in Near East of ancient Hebrew did built alter as Yoruba people did in the past. Google will help you solve this small issue.

c. Ask people who have gone to Kaaba in Mecca,how they enter it and compare it with Yoruba's Awo's entry into a shrine grin . olodo lasan li e.


5. Wait for it. Do you expect me to give away a super information that has taken me years on a platform as this? Certainly not but I share the little with all of you to prepare your mind,so that you will know the wonderful information on Yoruba ancestors and their legacy.

b. Nah, I am not the angry type but you. Trust me, I can only posit my information based on my findings. So far, I have no reason to be angry because my work is true and will hit the stall in the near future.

6. Yoruba language is Coptic Egyptian's in the same way you found it in Bini, Dahomey. What is Coptic Language ? it is a ritual ancient Christian language that was spoken in Egypt at a time in history. Bro,try to learn how to juxtapose with civility and uprightness. Below are:

Ọlọfin is a dialectical version of Alaafin that stuck due to popularity.
In central and eastern Yoruba dialects it is Ọfin (Palace).

There is no Ewọ (taboo) in Atẹwọrọ
Atẹwọnrọ/Atẹwọrọ - Atẹ̀ (like A tẹ̀lé = to follow) , ẹwọn (chain), rọ (descend)

When I told you that you are a plaigerising lot claiming to be historians, you were all like you are the best thing that ever happened to Yoruba history.

But here you all came for the bait because you wanted empty glory you never laboured for. Again macof, you are a pure serpent parading himself as an expert.i thought you claim "critic" is what you do best?

Don't you have brain enough to see I gave the very same interpretation you are submitting afresh before you did? So what's your excitement? That's called afterthought.

In fact you are a very clever clown. When you make your claim to Oke ora, I asked you for a core tradition on Oduduwa, you came up with festivals, rituals and rites of Ife.

I told you to let heaven be heaven and that you are turning the tradition of Oduduwa coming from heaven to Oke ora urban legend. You came back claiming all sorts.

Now that you saw my book, kia lo gbe oke ora ju sile, Erin fee pami grin grin So you know this but hide it from the public?

Can you see you are still confused? Can you please validate the tradition of descention of Oduduwa with fixed oral tradition from Ifa? At least you are the historian.

A tradition that has been in a culture for long should gather debris and become an enigma. A self acclaimed historian who picked up such and relay it the same way is not fit for the job.

Guy you have no clue what you want. How can you make claim for a man in two opposite directions? Oke ora? Heaven, sky? I already know your escape route.

One was his manifestation as god and as man later grin grin

That should be tenable to a hypnotic historian like you. It's your way of escape. What level of interpretation did you employ to get beyond all other possible meaning and arrive at the fact?

What if it's "Oduduwa a tewon ro"? That is, "one who descended from the prison"? cool. What stops you from viewing it from all possible angle?

The last time I quoted you was the post you claim to have embarrassed me severally. I know one thing about you, lie lie lie is the in thing in your life. grin grin grin

My simple request is that you have claimed to be an historian, but you are clueless about how the very tradition you jumped on emanated in Yoruba history, if you have any clue post it.

Insult and abracadabra man himself. undecided

How is it part of tradition? Care to explain?




Guy you have no clue what you want. How can you make claim for a man in two opposite directions? Oke ora? Heaven, sky? I already know your escape route.

One was his manifestation as god and as man later grin grin

That should be tenable to a hypnotic historian like you. It's your way of escape. What level of interpretation did you employ to get beyond all other possible meaning and arrive at the fact?

What if it's "Oduduwa a tewon ro"? That is, "one who descended from the prison"? cool. What stops you from viewing it from all possible angle?

I have demonstrated the traditions that can be demonstrated online or in print. For further demonstration you would need to seek the traditional guardian on Oduduwa in Ife. Traditions are after all practical

Your unawareness of the duality of yoruba òrìṣà is evident of your ignorance.
All you know is church stuff not yoruba traditions.

You have seen and responded to that post weeks ago. But it still pains you and you have suddenly gathered energy to execute a fire back in the middle of the night.

You couldn't deal with the correction in my post then, you still can't now

Again you are unable to debunk any information I have presented while I have dismantled many of your nonsense

You don't have any clue what Yoruba history entails, get a life bro. You can never have access to the pristine tradition of the Yoruba. You are a stranger.

I got you and here you are pushing your confusion as science. Go back and read Robin Law on Oyo empire and do your research. You are clueless.

Rejection region in historical hypothesis

Professors of public opinion, tell me why my interpretation of atewonro cannot be any of the following, using extra material resources in your coffers as a trained and practicing historian:

A. Atewonro: one who from prison became sober.

B. One who twist the chain to it's elastic limit.

C. One who from the prison hangs

D. One who press chains to it's weak state.

Whenever you make an intelligent choice, you are discriminating on other options for a reason. Ability to come clean of the options you never choose is what proof your expertise.

Macof and software Generated Yoruba

And macof, twice you have given us lupo for ilu, and tele for te. You are the best in makeover. The same you are the one destroying others inputs.

But you are not wise enough to get it up your head that silebu ni ege oro ti eemi le gbe jade leekan soso. You lack the concept of syllable as a language user, be it English or Yoruba.

You don't have a sense of syllable as the unit of sounds in a word, hence your option is always crested only on the word given and it's meaning from a distance cluster as instance.

You always play safe. It shows you are Yoruba by software too, Yoruba with caution. No examples of variant meaning of a word or each syllable in a Yoruba word treated in dept on their own.

You alluded to linguistics but a failure at it you are. You only excel in temerity, your stock in trade. Your lies are in the open.

Read up rejection region in statistics and apply the same to what you do with public opinion generated conclusion as a "critic".

Lmao grin this one is just running mad right now
I have demonstrated what atewonro and Olofin mean. You have not pointed out why my interpretation is wrong.
I broke down the word and gave examples of where else those broken down words are found. My break down is also consistent with every single translation of the word out there

After dropping one very ridiculous translation of Ateworo in your book.. You now have new 4 translations grin.. You have dumped the translation you gave in the book
Reason why you should not rush to write a book. You equip yourself with necessary training and knowledge of what you are writing

You are simply pained that you got exposed for your poor understanding of the language and seek to fire back.
All this rant of "I'm cautious I'm not original" bla bla is rant of a desperate fool who couldn't find any information I have dropped to debunk like I debunk your nonsense on a regular basis

Scammer, I have attached the screenshot of a book I bought back then in 2007, you should check out the source of the word ejilaosebora in it, meaning "the twelve that emanated from Ebora".

Although it's syncretic, but the cluster ejilaosebora is historical. Your historians have found the facts of Yoruba history eventually? I am not a historian, I am a pundit of Yoruba tradition.

By the way I heard you are traveling to many Muslim countries soon to find out the meaning of the name Yoruba? Congratulations I have given you a path in life via my thread, origin of the name Yoruba.

Here is a copy of the book to that particular thread. I made the book before the thread tho.

There you go again, scammer. grin grin

Oduduwa atewonro was in my book
Oduduwa ateworo is equally in my book.
I paraphrased both options in Yoruba.
I equally discussed "ayinike Ati Ayinipada".
I made a case for the right option.

Gbam.

You repeated what I have already shared in my book but argued for the popular version, Oduduwa atewonro. You are an "intelligence deficit" monomaniac fighting for spotlight through others' labour.

Is your argument new to me or something? You are a repeater. I have forced a confession from you through the book because you earlier pretend that tradition doesn't exist.

So it's this "elewon" tradition that is right now not onisoro, obadio, ascention rites, rituals and all that again as you originally claim. Oh, it's duality of identity? How about the chain?
cheesy cheesy

Your camaraderies never validate you have a new argument. You only argued for the popular version, circulated by Samuel Johnson. What's your excitement in intellectual plagiarism?

You are like a hen that layed an egg and coocoo around as though it has laid an asteroid grin grin Well that's not mine but Mark Twain's.

I have given you a receipt for a book I bought many years ago, so as to silence your lunacy. It should mean nothing to you in the perpetual state of your mind. But it is an exhibit that you have no clue what you says.

Go for a check

Now, you arguing for Oduduwa atewonro suddenly made me go out to buy books and I suddenly know the right book to buy and within the timeline, it's Robin Law, your kind of book?

Again you are an embarrassment to yourself, not to me. You and your hordes are failures at what you love most. You acknowledge the scholar but still question his work before reading it.

I am not a performance monkey of yours, you should have read Robin Law. So you don't know what he said in light of the foregoing? WOW! so I should fetch it for you to damage as usual?

And you are a trained historian, well read and experience in Yoruba history? Don't worry keep waiting for me as your pawn. Your lies are travelling behind you.

I can't even remember who the writer is and I never saved the page.

One thing I remember is dat the 'ogiso' is an ijaw name as well as the name 'igodo'.

some geologist have described This region- that is South South Nigeria as a very old habitation dating several Years on BC(the figures I can't remember).

Two set of inhabitants is known
1. Ancient People from the sky known as Oru (possibly a variant of Horus- Egyptian God of the sky)
2. migrants from The North who settled in Ile-Ife and claimed descent from Oduduwa and Osara- must be Okanbi's followers or unrecorded children

The ijo seem to know a lot about Oduduwa even better than some Yoruba people(that is if their records are accurate)
They know his wife Osara and some claim descent from her.

Oduduwa according to ijo came from Nubia.
That could explain why Oduduwa was very friendly to Ogboroganda who also came from Nubian territories
