YORÙBÁ'S ETIQUETTES AND VALUES "In Yoruba land, money has never been foremost in Yorùbá value system. In our value system, money is number six.. What are the first five ? The first is làákà’yè, which is the application of ogbón, ìmò òye (knowledge, wisdom, understanding).

Ragebait??
Yoruba did not invent Ifa. They imported it. Before you let your emotions take over, calm yourself down. The original name of this system was ʿIlm al-Raml, The Science of Sand. It was developed by Black populations in Aswan and the Nile Valley long before it ever reached West Africa. The whole framework is pure binary mathematics. It uses a base of 16 figures that multiply out into 256 probabilities. This is what Yoruba people call the 256 Odu. If you want to know, go and read the historical manuscripts of North African scholars especially that of Shaykh Abdallah al-Zanati. He documented this binary science centuries ago. Every single one of the 16 primary Odu in Ifa has a direct Arabic mathematical equivalent in Zanati’s records. The figure the Arabs called Tariq is what the Yoruba call Ogbe. The figure they called Jama'a is what the Yoruba call Oyeku. The mathematical coding is identical. You cannot debate this. When ancient people migrated from the Nubian corridors and Arab Trans-Saharan trade routes opened up, Islamic scholars and merchants brought this architectural blueprint with them into West Africa. The Yoruba are genius custodians. They assimilated it brilliantly. They mapped this imported Arab-transmitted science onto their own indigenous cosmology, attributed it to Orunmila, and named it Ifa. But being a great preserver is not the same as being the originator. This is why you find the very same system everywhere along those migration routes. The Fon call it Fa. The Ewe call it Afa. In Madagascar it is Sikidy. The medieval Europeans even copied it and translated the Arabic name into Geomancy. If we have been quiet about this, it does not mean we do not know. History does not care about modern sentiments. By historical origin and transmission, Ifa is Esin Arabu. The blueprint came from Aswan and arrived through Arab corridors. Facts don’t lie. Allah knows best.

We will die fat at a bar someday and say... "I won the Euros for Portugal in 2016" Very few things explains national pride and patriotism like professional sports

I believe the FX Subsidy regime was crazier than the Petrol Subsidy regime. Watch this video by yours truly that explains why.

A lady narrates how her mum came to do omugwo, but she couldn’t give her anything as she returned home. She also regrets marrying for love and settling for a poor man.

This is exactly what the yorubas mean by "Fi ọwọ́ òsì tọ́ka sí ilé bàbá rẹ.” It's not even sad, it's just the reality of ọmọ tí a ò tọ́, tó gbé ilé tí a kò tà. Terrible breeding for real
I’ve asked my mom many times, why did you get married to my dad out of all men? He’s poor. - A Nigerian lady.

No. I’ve not. What are you going to do about it? We are two completely different souls just sharing same blood. But what are you going to do about it? I’m curious. Davido did his runway last 2 years Sanwo-Olu did his runway this year Probably Tony Elumelu will do his runway next year. What are you going to do about it?

Privileged to speak at the Next Gen Summit in Baltimore, Maryland. The world is not finished yet. You have a place in it. Great things can still happen from small places.
