Nonsense.
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.

I have seen lawyers who have spent their entire lives practising law and have built fulfilling, successful and enviable careers from it. It is safe to say that you can put all your eggs in the basket of law practice and it will pay off big time.
May God make it easy for us as he has been doing for others.

Let’s say my religion makes me to wear a watch everywhere I go, however due to the prevalence of students using watches to carry out examination malpractice, I am not allowed to wear a watch in the exam hall, is that restriction reasonable in such circumstances?

Was it me that drafted the constitution? Direct your curses to the right channels abeg.
This issue is being blown out of proportion. Not all Fundamental Rights are absolute and Fundamental Rights can be restricted in appropriate circumstances.Students were caught cheating using hijab as coverage; the restriction is justifiable.
A barbing salon + Car wash combination is very much essential. I need somewhere I can cut my hair while they wash my car at the same time.

“Consultant Physician” tells me your job.
It doesn’t tell me what you’re the person to call about.

The Arguement that we are prioritizing culture over development is preposterous. There is no true development without culture.
It’s unfortunate that GRV had 4 years to learn Yoruba and he still can’t speak Yoruba. It shows a lackadaisical attitude to the cultural consciousness of the Yoruba people.
