If only this Babaloosa can speak Yoruba fluently, there are a lot of things he wants to pass across how we Yoruba has bastardized our culture and tradition.
Well done, sir, but in the next video, please allow your guest to talk about why you asked them questions, sir. You are doing an amazing job, nice one.
The root causes of all this must be addressed, and the root cause is that people see Isese as an evil act. Yoruba history and Isese walk together, so the teachings of Yoruba history must be returned back to schools. If not for Yoruba films Yoruba culture would have been lost by now.The Bible says you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free, we need to know our truth because from all indications, the Bible and the Koran have not made Nigeria a better place.
It can make it, and it will never make it. Everything that inhabits the planet has Spirit. You can't pray in a foreign language to your Spirit. Your Spirit understands language coded in your DNA. And your Spirit knows your land, and your land knows you. That you why Chinese rise because they intune with the Spirit of their land and Spirit of their Ancestors. Everything will work their ways, the same to Japanese, the same with India, the same with European. If you did intune with the Spirit of your land, nothing will ever work out well
Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is knowledge about the ways of life that predates Christianity. God is greater than religion. You can be a Christian and also pay hommage to your ancestral heritage.
The biggest mistake of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther in his interpretation of the English Holy Bible into Yoruba was equating the Abrahamic religions' "Satan" as the Yoruba's "Esu". The characters of Esu in all the Ifa chapters and Yoruba mythology clearly show that he is not the same as Satan. Unfortunately, you and most Nigerians never took the time to explore the Yoruba religion with an open mind before making proclamations. The most basic fact that the Yoruba religion believes in one supreme being, God or Olodumare, just like the Abrahamic faiths is not known to many Yorubas. Which is a shame. "Orishas" in Yoruba religion are the "prophets (Islam and Christianity)" of the supreme being. It is very unfair to condemn a belief system to which you don't have a deep knowledge. It saddens me to see the lengths that Muslims and Christians have gone to suppress and in some instances persecute Yoruba religion practitioners. I am a devout Muslim, but I realize that the ancient Yoruba culture, as guided by religion, elevated the status and roles of women more than in the ancient Islamic and Christian societies. I am also aware that there is NO Ifa chapter that can be inferred to justify the violence and bloodshed that humans have unleashed on others in the name of proselytization. I can't say the same about Islam and Christianity. I beg people like you and others, to hold on to your faith and understand that the Kingdom of God is by His grace. Not because of your fasts, prayers, Kindness, or Church attendance. Let people worship God in their own way. After all, they never bothered you or anyone else. After all, I am old enough to see that the degree of godlessness in Nigeria has grown with our fanaticism for Christianity and Islam. Meanwhile, the Yoruba religion's only demand is that we all become "omoluwabi." I think we can learn something from that.
Fluently, not common at all. Yet people of Yoruba religion may have some knowledge of a Portuguese-influenced pronunciation of some religion-related terms and chants in Yoruba.
IAM Igbo who understands and speak Yoruba and I understand the babalwo 💯. The interviewer just interjects because he prefers the Baba to speak Yoruba exactly how Nigerian Yorubas speak it (intonation stuff kind of)@@oluwatobiadegoke13
@@adeyinkaolaiya4395 Nice to meet you. Brazil is the second Africa. Here the African culture was left in its entirety. Just for you to have an idea, the cult of ÒSÓÒSÌ was entirely left in Brazil and many Yorubas come to my country to acquire knowledge about this ÒRÌSÀ.
La religion u cultura yoruba ifa y orisha viene de nigeria a america rn especial a cuba no tiene nada que ver con palo ni en espiritismo ni camdomble ase oo
The Almighty God Jehovah, abhors witchcraft, sorcery and any other form of idol worshipping. Please my people, abstain from these and sincerely seek for God forgiveness.
What brings about your demand for forgiveness? How did you become the judge and what law are you applying to say Yoruba harbors sorcery? I do not want to know what religion you practice but as a Christian, I have refused to subject myself to relious slavery, therfire I seek knowledge thru personal research about the origin of world's major religions. I realized African were brainwashed to consider everything God created with us, including the powers he gave us as a unique set of people as evil. Nowadays if you dress up with beeds in your hands, an African Christian or Muslim would judge you that you dream life babalawo. Meanwhile those things Oyinbo made you to throw away are repackaged and used by them for their own good. I pray our eyes become open so that we can know the damages our ignorance is causing us.
