Divinemercyy:
Thank you all so much...to those that shared pocohantas,BluDesk, Tyewolove and may God bless you all 4 showing concern to my plight. I got a call that the said driver had returned my bag this morning. Indeed,what God can't do doesn't exist.

Amen �

The relative of monkey
Jumping helter skelter
Landed in a wretched man's house
Turning around his misfortune into blessing
A rare set of children that commands undue honor and respect from their parents
To your stepmother, you are an unwelcome sight
But to your mother, you are both emperor's of two empires.

Note: this Oríkí is not complete

Oriki ibeji
Omo edún tíí seré orí ígí
Ó-bé-késé-bé-kàsà
Ó fe sé méjééjii be sílé alakiisa
O salákíísa donígba aso
Gbajúmó omo tíí gbàkúnle íyà é
Tíí gbà dóbàlé lówó baba tó bíí lomo
Wínrínwírín lójú orogún
Ejíwóró lojú íyà é

Power as healer; the power of healing is manifested when the"ibeji" emblem is washed in water and with certain plants which grow in water. A mixture of shea butter, water leaves, palm oil and juice of snails are made. The juice of the leaves is squeezed into the mixture and the leaves are used as sponges in washing the emblem. This water in which the ibeji has been washed would be poured in the bath and anyone who bathes there would be cured of their illness

Supplication could be made to the Orisha ibeji by a childless woman to be blessed with an offspring.
Èjiré ara isokun
Jé kí nrí je ki nri mu
Èjiré Ókínwa té wo mí bo Osun Omo
Beautiful looking twins,natives of isokun
Let me find to eat
Let me find to drink
Majestic and beautiful looking twins
Give me the blessing of a child.

Kehinde is supposed to be matured, intelligent,more wiser and displinced while Taiwo is believed to be vibrant, kind, sociable and indifferent.
The Orisha ibeji and, by association, the twins were attributed powers of fertility, prosperity, avenger, detector of thieves and rainmaker.
Power of fertility; although the cult of the twins is a kinship one, nevertheless, because of the power associated with it, because of the power associated with it.

The first born of the twin is known as Taiwo (tà-yé-wo)"go and have a taste of life" while the second one is called Kehinde (kéhin-dé).
In Yorúbá culture the second twin is considered the elder twin,the reason for this is that Taiwo is sent by Kehinde to judge if the world is fit and beautiful before he/she descends in accordance with Yorùbá beliefs.

And the parent take care of the Ere Ibeji figure as if,it were a real person. The Ere Ibeji is ritually washed,fed,clothed and carried in a cloth wrapper. Clothing made from cowrie shells,as well as beads,coins and paint.
Ere Ibeji figures are carved to represent an ideal type within the Yorùbá criteria of beauty and in the prime of life- neither a child not an old person.

The parent will seek consultantion with an Ifá diviner a Babalawo. If the Babalawo ascertains a spiritual cause,he will help the parent find a carver to create an Ere Ibeji figure to represent the deceased twin.

Ere Ibeji literally means Ere-scared image, Ibi-born, Eji-two. In Yorúbá culture and spirituality,twins are believed to be magical, and are granted protection by the Orisha Shango. If one twin should die,it represents bad fortune for the parents and the society to which they belong.

Oriki of Awori
Mariwo eh eh, agan eh eh
Mariwo tu yeri yeri
Awori omo Akesan, Omo Oloko ni ilu Isheri
Omo iwaju oloko to n'so owo
Eyinkule Oloko to n'so ejiba leke
Omo ogendengede oloko to ntan yebe yebe oju omi
Kafogede gede owo w'ako de le Isheri
Omo agbeleke r'eru, omo eyiba, omo ontigbo mokun
My Awori people complete the Oriki.
Awori speak a distinct North West dialect of Yorubiod Languages that belong to the larger Niger-Congo language group.
Awori Yoruba dialect remained a uniform among the various groups. Oro, Egungun, Gelede festivals are the major festival.
We have Awori people in Badagry also. Awori people are into farming and fishing. Those that lives in coastal areas of Lagos are fisherman. Awori people practice traditional religion aside christianity and Islamic Religion. Masquerades are a major part of Awori tradition; Ogogo, Eyo masquerades and Kulodo are popular among Awori.

The Awori could be group into two major division. These are the early Awori and latter Awori groups, among the early Awori group settlement are Isheri, otto-Olofin, Iddo, Ebute-Meta,Apa, Ibereko as well as Otta and Ado-Odo in Ogun state.
The formation of Isheri was the nucleus of other settlement such as Agboyi, Ogudu,Ojo, Ado-Ode.
The latter settlement include Ojo, Itire,Mushin,Isolo, otto-Awori, Ijakin, Ilogbo Elegba Ilogbo-Eremi, Iworo,Agbara.
Other Awori group also settle in other parts of Lagos Island such as Itoko, Ikoyi, Iru, Ajiran and other parts of Lagos by the lagoon.
Awori are the original Indigenes of Lagos.

Owning to this, Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement,but after 289 days(17*17) the plate began moving again. And when it did, only few followers joined the Olofin to follow the plate. The rest of the group decided to stay behind. They had only journeyed for two days when the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos.
It was at Idumota in central Lagos the mud plate sank into the bottom. After whirling on the water, when Olofin returned to his group at Iddo,they are said to asked him where the plate was. He answered "Awo ti ri" meaning the "plate has sunk" this is how the name Awori is said to have come into being.

And seventeen days,it began moving again. It later stop for another seventeen days at Oke-Ata. At the end of seventeen days,the plate began moving again only to stopped again at southern outskirts of Abeokuta. Where it stayed for another seventeen days. At this location, some of Olofin's followers decided to remain,led by a man named Osho-Aro-bi-Ologbo-egan. The mud plate continued again down the river,only to stopped for the fourth time at Isheri where it remained for much a longer period of time.

Ifa instructed Olofin to sacrifice a black ram and ended up sacrifice a white ram which later turned to black.
He then used it to sacrifice before placing the sacred plate on the river, which he sailed after ifa directed Olofin,they should settle where the plate would finally sink. Several days after leaving Ile-Ife the plate suddenly stopped at Olokemeji near present-day Abeokuta.

Olofin is one of Oduduwa's son. Olofin had some family problems which made him to consult ifa,who advised him to vacate Ile-Ife to a distant land.
The oracle instructed Olofin to dig a portion in his father's house where he would found a mud plate and a beaded crown.
As instructed by the oracle, Olofin dug and found the items as predicted by the Ifa.

My Awori people, Kitigbe oo?
The story is that Olofin Ogunfunminire, and his followers left the palace of king Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated South ward along a river.

I believe in after Death because of quotes of christ such as Mathew 10:28,mark 9:47, because of the resurrection of christ.
It wouldn't make any sense if there's no life after Death because of injustice of life,it would be difficult to believe that life is good,if we knew there was nothing beyond the grave to compensate for problems of inequality and fairness.
While some people seem destined for happiness, others are born into terrible relationship and circumstances. Many would have reasons to cursed the day, they were born for the way life has treated them ( job 3:13).
I could agree with King solomon who was at a low point in his life said "I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking places under the sun. I saw tears of the oppressed and they have no comforter; and power by the side of their oppressors and I declared that the dead who had already died are happier than the living who are still alive. Both he is,who has not yet seen any evil that is done under the sun".

Fellow Christian,I need your opinion on this.
