256 minor odu 🥺🥺 And all odu has their incantations and stories 🤲🏽🥺🥺 To learn and understand the odus without mixing the whole thing up is giving me goosebumps 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thanks for sharing this sir. I have always respected Ifa, this video just increased my love for it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@alfalfred8722 Truth doesn't lie solely in one culture or race, your job is to discern the truth and apply it to yourself and your community. There is a ring of truth in the Ifa system of divination hence its perpetuation, there's also a ring of truth in the scientific method, this has been proven. The system of divination lends itself perfectly to the mathematical principles of probabilities, Quantum physics and a corpus of literary possibilities all of which fortunately are ideas codified under Western sciences. Will you now say because science was formalized by the west, it should not apply to the system of Ifa? Ifa is science albeit holistic in nature as per the Yoruba system. If you fail to codify it, to prove it's reproducibility and efficacy via the scientific method, if you fail to make it appealing to a wider community of the human race, have no doubt, Ifa won't dissappear, it will be adopted by a more willing race, dare I say the Western.
@@juicysmoye4758 I'm looking for an African concept developed from within and in our language, not copied from Harvard and Oxford books. That's where our survival lies. China is doing it, India and other Asian countries are doing it. It is even shameful that the lecture is in another language.
@@alfalfred8722 Dono what you're referencing with your China and India bits; what I observed is that those nations have adopted the scientific method in proving their indigenous lore. Ifa should/MUST follow suit.
This is spectacular, the type of production I have been looking for. I appreciate the narration and the performance as a combination. Please, is it possible to have the performance on its own without the narration? The only reason is that I want to get the full length of the Ifa songs, especially the opening song as well as all the poems chanted.Thank you Sir.
Is it our ignorance and gullibility and care free attitude. We Yorubas nearly lost our very rich and highly valuable culture and heritage, it is high time we open up our senses and do the needful. UK
@tkelani I wish and pray you are able to explain, What happened to all this Wisdom When Slavery happened? It pains me always that I am not connected to the spirituality that existed before all the Slave trades contaminated everything. I acknowledge the fact that some natives definitely helped all that happened that destroyed a lot of the culture. Where were all the orishas when the Slave trades began? Where were all the Babaláwos??
@@samueljamessamueljames4u hahahaha. It takes years and years of training in a very specific way. One, you must know how to speak Yoruba back to back. its a course that having a PhD in it is not enough. IFA contains Science, Mathematics, Philosophy... IFA is what Bible is to the Jews/Christians
@@samueljamessamueljames4u @ oh okay. I think when we get the Yoruba Nation, we have to figure out how to invest in IFA research and development so that we can codify and catalogue them to make it easeir to teach. But work to learn it, you have to be ready to move to someplace in the State of Osun or something. Training lasts for a life time...so its not something to pick up. It has to be your calling or your chosen
@@annbrubeck8088 Yes Am From Osun State Also My Major concern is that there are many dubious people who are involved in IFÁ am only taking my time to find the Right And Genuinely People to Get The Knowledge And Understanding Of IFÁ.
I only learned of her once she passed, this was in 2020, yet I was' looking for her' 20 years prior, but was only offered black americans as my history when I wanted to see and hear my Yoruba African story and history. We each need to do better to ensure our people who have dedicated their lives to keeping our history alive are known and their work is disseminated.
Ifa may seem to fail to you because you haven't kept up with relevant information about intellectual work on-going not only at home but places like South America. Scholars are working in the binary equivalent of the Odus and other expertise is broken down into disciplines. Mathematics of Ifa, Philosophy of Ifa, Literature of Ifa etc. It is a complete Yoruba indigenous knowledge system. There us Ifa College in Oyo founded by Prof Wande Abimbola with eleven faculties!
@@tkelani when it comes to cinema in Nigeria, You are the pinnacle. Why ifa is not being taught in Nigerian universities. We have western and eastern philosophies, why not AFRICAN philosophy? Pls more videos on ifa.
You mean like the bible and qu'ran are innovating and modernising? You mean like how Einstein, Bacon and Socrates are innovating and modernising? By 'innovating and modernising' you mean no longer IFA.
Our Culture is the richest in Africa .
We need to encourage the learning and teaching of our culture. It is not idolatry
Truth 💯👍👍👍
Sometimes I think to myself, even if it is idolatry, what's wrong with that, we should not hold our beliefs to the standards of Abrahamic religions
Idolatry? There are many idols in catholic churches, people bow to them and make those 'cross' signs while bowing
I'm learning
@@AI-tc8fv abrahamic belief systems have idolatry within itself.
May the Yoruba nation succeed 🙏

Ifa is mathematical and philosophical.
Thanks for this documentary
I love ifá and yoruba
Rest well professor Akinwunmi ishola
God Bless Yoruba Nation. God bless Yoruba land.
These are my vessels. My black vessels. From them will come much wisdom and knowledge.
Kudos to camera man for recognizing that boy with pure vibes
This is amazing. ...I still want to learn this.
What amazes me about Africa is that our tradition is never meaningful to us until it is taught by a professor and in english language.
Yes, the mind seeks order; all inspiration must be formalized, this has always been a big mistake of the African nations.

Where was the christain God when the isrealite when the Israelite were been killed and there God temple was destroyed?
Wow
Thank you
Please let us know who will be the next Nigeria president and publicised it to the world.
What does an odu do?
What does it take to Have IFÁ Knowledge?
Can Anyone please Recommend For Me?

What is the meaning of Ifa -ology...
Me i don't understand o
This is binary
This is computer in the modern world
Yea, the concept was used to develop computer or digital tech!
Funny how we have pretended Professor Sophia Oyewole no longer existed. At this point her life’s work is practically erased from existence.
wow i feel that is a bit farfecthed. Her works cannot be erased whereby her books and excerpts of her ideas are present online!
May be to you, its erased. Not all feel that way

The problem with ifa is that it fails to innovate & modernise.
