This is amazingly beautiful & distinctively put together. The presentation made me to appreciate God for He has made all things beautiful for His own glory. I celebrate God in your life & passion for Yoruba language exposition. Excellent job!
It's difficult to express the incredible feeling that this documentary evokes, and Dr. Damola and her team have executed it with impeccable timing. What better time than now to showcase the beauties and complexities layered within the Yoruba language? An observation or perhaps a plea to my fellow “no-nonsense, say it as it is” Gen-z. Dr Damola masterfully blends religion and culture to create a vibrant display of colourful élan that highlights the beauty, richness, and blessings of Yoruba culture. Her command of the English language is impressive, and her Yoruba is flawless, from the tones to the technicalities and performance of the language. Let's follow in Dr. Damola's footsteps and decolonize the gaps by rewriting our narratives. I applaud the crew for their outstanding work. The script and translation by Dr Adegbola ( that have saved me from embarrassingly digging out my Yoruba dictionary) the choice and style of music, and the pacing of the documentary. The film experience is akin to a leisurely canoe ride, never rushed and never late, taking us on a slow journey through time that leaves us spellbound. I'm eagerly anticipating the second episode.
Doctor Adeshina you did a profound research on Yoruba perception of God. It is interesting to note that both the holy bible and the Quran are in agreement with the Yoruba perceptions. Well done ma. May God reward you abundantly for this work.
This is deep and thought provoking. Thank you for a thorough work from the eyes of faith without compromising the depth of reality connecting today to the past. Sister of life, thank you
This is wonderful! A beautiful eye opener and insight to how the Yorubas see God. No wonder the Yorubas worship and eulogy of God is very deep. Well done ma 👍👍👍
I would never have known there are more in-dept and intimate ways of understanding Olodumare- The supreme being. This teaching is an eye opener, arouses curiosity and creates the desire for more knowledge acquisition. E ku ise..
Great is your life and Greater is your God for indeed this work completely removed the kind of fear attached to those Yoruba gods and goddesses. Thank you for your consistency over the years. Go forth in your conviction and I recommend this to be listened to by all Christian Leaders.
This is a Deep Worship in Yoruba Dialect. It's an insight into the Person and Attributes of the Almighty God known as Olodumare. Well Done my Sister. More insight into the realm of the Supernatural in JESUS name
This is wonderful. Explaining the Yoruba concept of God (Olorun) shines light on how enlightened the Youruba people are, and how their concept of God is in tune with those of other major religions of the world - that there is only one true God...
Morphology, phonology, etymology etc. I learnt more English words in this Yoruba video. Your knowledge and application of it is inspiring. The different scenes, names of God, historical background and meaning of the word 'Eledumare' added sweetness to the 17min video. Thank you 🙏🏾
I believe that God revealed himself (and still does) to every tribe and tongue before the advent of Christ and evangelism. Thank you for this insightful and instructive work on the revelation of God to the Yoruba people. I look forward to the next episode; 'OYIGIYIGI'. Hope you will touch on 'AWAMARIDI' as well.
A well presented body of work, the title is a little confusing as I expected it would focus on "The Yoruba experience of God" that is a deep dive into the Yoruba conception of "God". This seems to be more of the Yoruba interpretation of Christianity using the Yoruba concepts to grasp Christian ideas. The Christian conception of God is so different from that of the Yoruba. Perhaps the focus should be on the Yoruba, which we so dearly need. Ulli Beier, Susan Wenger, professor Luzzatto, Elaine Neil Orr and many more were Europeans who came into Nigeria as Christians, they encountered the Yoruba conception of God and embraced it completely. It's time the descendants of such a beautiful conception of reality embrace what our ancestors bequeathed to us and develop it further. Great effort, inspiring and challenging us to think critically
Yoruba knowledge systems are vast reservoirs of information on theology, philosophy, history, astronomy and mathematics. The many names of God used to describe His various attributes are also mirrored in the Ethio-Judeo-Christian legacy where the names of God take up pages of ancient religious prayer, many of which have their parallels in these Yoruba names. This scholarly and loving exposition on the Yoruba concept of divinity is exemplary. Our congratulations to Dr. Tunde Adegbola on this important work. We look forward to working with him and his world-class team. - Dr. Rachel Titilayo Ogundipe Leslie, The African Historical Society (AHS)
Hmm...interesting! How the Yoruba combine the indigenous knowledge of Olodumare and the Christian God to better understand, interprete and develop other names for Almighty God. I agree 👍 Well done.. Waiting for the connection between Esu and Satan...Is that on the way?
You are just too brilliant sister Damola, in English you are there in Yoruba you are deep. I love you dearly my dearest beautiful sister. Well done 👍✅ this is awesome 👍
A fantastic collaboration - vintage Damola Adesina + Tunde Adegbola's "producer" prowess! The output clearly attests to deep contextual research, properly situating Jehovah in His unassailable preeminence. Truly a unique, spiritually-enriching production. Well done; keep up the good work!!!
I'm neither a Yoruba Poet enthusiast nor a Yoruba Art scholar but Dr Damọla Adesina's work is both research and spiritual. The description of God( Olofin orun, Ọlọrun, Olodumare etc) according to the Yoruba's; is deep, Spiritual and cannot be adequately understood or expressed .....Aribirabata, Arabaribiti, Eletigbaroye, Akikitan, Oyigiyigi, Awimayẹhun, Alágbádána.... The multitudes of names the Yoruba's use - to praise / eulogize our heavenly Father sounds so much like speaking in tongues. I look forward to subsequent presentations .
This is profound,rich, inspiring and revelational.This work should go viral,it is highly educative too.Adequate knowledge helps adequate worship.Keep the good work please.
An interesting and educational video. Growing up, hearing the different variations of Gods name in Yoruba songs. I never knew much of the deeper meanings except the fact that they reference God.
The depth of research and analysis is of vital significance to our understanding of the influence of culture in contemporary Christianity. Thank you Dr. Damola Adesina
It's been said that the best way to praise God is in your native language and this further shows that the understanding of God in one's native language is vital.
Wowww...Thank you sir @YemisiShyllon for sharing this with me! I woke up this morning and was looking at the transcendence and immanence of God, the more you know about who God is The More you will treasure the Relationship He desires to have with us. I discussed with one of my mentee that as Yoruba Christians we limit our knowledge by not exploring and studying to get a deeper understanding of our Pasts and Present to be able to create a better future for ourselves and our children. Sis Damola is someone I have admired for a long time since the time she came to Minister in My Home Church, The Stone Church! Today, with this video, I just got my confirmation of my quest to study IFa. Thanks for sharing sir and Thanks ma for all your Works and Worship @DamolaAdesina💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Beautifully composed! I am wowed to see the beauty of my Lord in Yoruba. I must also commend your 'gele' as top-notch. Shout-out to Mummy Yinka! This video is enlightening. It's definitely worth the time and...data.
This is quite profound for us who speak Yoruba and English….This documentary and commentary add to our understanding of who God the Almighty is… The God of all flesh. Thank you Dr Adesina who holds a master’s degree in English (Unilag and now PhD (UI) in this ‘Yoruba***. This is so, so deep and seminal… Thank God for the grace that has led to this remarkable body of knowledge. Yes knowledge through which the we shall be delivered from the power of ignorance. Thank you Dr Adesina!
This is amazing! Very insightful and informative. It shows just how great is and how he is perceived even in the Yoruba language. I just recently understood the differences between Olodumare and the orisha's and how there is no one to be compared to God the almighty even in the Yoruba culture. I have always been amazed at the greatness of God, this video just made me more amazed and grateful to the almighty God for he indeed is the greatest. Dr. Damola Adesina did a great work on this, i am a big fan of her works and her passion for God and the Yoruba language, she is the perfect person to take us through this insightful, interesting and educational journey. I look forward to other episodes!
This is so deep, educating and interesting... Yorubas definitely have a lot of knowledge about God even though we view it often as primitive. I am a Christian who believe God shows Himself to us in different ways relatable to each culture but settled for Christianity for her detailed documentary of His revelations and works with the Israelites from inception and over ages. Thanks a bunch for this information Ma.
Amazing piece of work. Though their is cross cultural variations in knowledge and meaning making about God, all cultures acknowledge the existence of the Almighty God as distinct from smaller gods. This is universal truth and carrying our research to reveal this truth is a novel endeavour. Very well done sis❤️💕
Well crafted and put together great piece of art. This is a combination of Knowledge, Culture, deep insight and great admiration of the Almighty God. Great production too. Congratulations Dr Damola Adesina
More Grace my Sister, its indeed very informative. In all your findings and research I still appreciate the Supremacy of God , the father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST above all types and shadows.
Wow!!! What a deep and insightful research work. Dr Damilola Adeshina you have shined light into some abstracts about Yoruba culture in relation to the reality of The Almighty. Well done. Such a beautiful and enriching work. You are blessed even for greater exploit in Jesus name.
Amazingly enriching and inspiring. From the opening to the end I could not stop it. Thanks I am better educated on this topic. Please keep the good work going. Dr. Tunde Adegbola, thank God for this project. I have subscribed to follow.
Wow! This is a huge investment of time and resources to deliver this thoroughly researched work. Often times, I wonder how people come up with yoruba word expressions that describe God. Honestly I feel this ability is more of gift more than what is learned. In my opinion, this is a combination of talent and academic knowledge of Dr Damola Adesina. I can only wish you the best as you pursue all that make God revealed and glorified in our world. This will transcend this present age as God ever remains unchanged. Beautiful! Welldone ma.
This is quite amazing and revealing. I always admired your unique mode of praising God. Linking the indigenous knowledge about the Almighty God to the contemporary knowledge about God is divine. Keep it up ma.
God bless you Dr. Damola. This is educative and revealing. I now know the root meaning of the names I call God even though the names does not sum Him up.
Kudos to the presenter for this succinct submission. It would be great if as part of her etymological analysis of OLODUMARE she is able to reference the work of Agba Awo Solagbade Popoola whose submission on the Origin of Olodumare (the Akamara phenomenon) brings a new dimension to the study of the Almighty Creator entity. I have observed from her choice of pronoun that the presenter uses ‘He/Him’ for Olodumare. This may be an unconscious bias (no thanks to European thought). The idea that the character of Olodumare is compatible with the Abrahamic Gods (Allah and Jehovah) may also be described as category error (Solagbade Popoola). It would be great to see how this researcher addresses this conundrum. It was great to see the reference to the IFA corpus. Great job 🙇♂️
This is deep and engaging. I’ve always said that the Yoruba language is one of the most expressive (if not the most) in the world. Thank you for doing this.
What a masterpiece delivery of the deep knowledge of the wonderful Yoruba religious cultural life. I am bless and in well reception of this piece, and I am eagerly waiting for the other episodes. This narrative I believe will set many of my people free. Thank you.
Amazing Grace for this deeply insightful and important documentary that is building a bridge between the Yoruba traditional understanding and worship of the Supreme Being and our embrace of Christianity! A Big Well Done Damola!
This is great and highly commendable, it shows how religion interwoven, very educative and enlightening. This work might be useful at the tertiary level in our educational system. God will grant you wisdom for more of this in Jesus name.
This is an awesome, highly commendable and an absolutely deep piece of work👌! I've always admired your in-depth knowledge of the Yoruba language and how you're always able to apply it to exalt the living God. You have been so consistent in this. What a well-rounded gift you are! With this piece of work you have opened my eyes to certain things I never knew about the Yoruba language and culture in relation to God. Thank you for a job well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome! Well done Sister, this piece encapsulates the fact that God indeed revealed himself to the Yoruba race in traditional worship and Ifa mythology. Olofin Orun resonates strongly as God truly is Almighty. Thank you profoundly for your well articulated submissions God bless you immensely AMEN
This is a much needed insightful exploration of who we were. It is also a bridge from our past to our present. Thanks Dr Damola for blazing the trail in our renewed quest for identity & purpose. I’m looking forward to further exciting presentation & conversation around this theme. Bravo 👍
God is awesome and undiscribable but i found out that the Yorubas seems to have the deeper way of discribing Him in a way that is special and better than other cultures because Yoruba is unique and the language is really deep. Good job and kudos to this.
Wow!!! This is simply awesome. It captures so much information about God from the Yoruba culture. The English interpretations also helps the non- Yoruba listeners to glean enough understanding of Almighty God(Olorun). It's very inspiring.
This is deep and important for knowledgeable and inquisitive Educated researching people of the world. It reminds me of the piecethe Holy Spirit helped me to write years ago:Tittled - Jesu ninu Alukurani ati Odu Ifa Ona igbala fun gbogbo eniyan.Hopeful that the subsequent ones with ttis shall lead Souls to know God through his ONLY begotten Son to be saved and abide in the LORD forever. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.Gideon Eesuola.
Deep....many thanks for teaching us more about our people's perceptions of the great God. Can't wait for the next episode because OYIGIYIGI is the name of God I find most fascinating🙏🏽💜🎊🎉🥀🌹
Wonderful! this piece like all others of yours is Highly educative, holistic in wisdom, deep in knowledge and understanding. It is an uncommon amalgam of literacy. Exceedingly consummate and very interesting. God bless you real good 👋👋👋
Wow! This is a conc intellectual piece. I enjoy your choice of words. It is so deep and inspiring. I'll need to listen to it many more times like all your other art internalize and assimilate the deep content of the message. Congratulation dear Prof. Damola!
It’s a brilliant,intellectual piece,very insightful. Efforts should be made to get it across to some of our Missions Schools to be included in their syllabus. Good job
A true experience of Olorun can only be when better understanding of cultural foundations and identities are possessed and embraced. God has made provisions of understanding who He is even beyond the Israelic lenses in our cultural identies. This makes it easier for each man to know the Supreme Being based on his immediate surroundings. Olorun, Eni ti oni Orun. Thank you Dr. for these explicit views you have shared.
This video has a lot of food for thought and I certainly learnt more about Olódùmarè than the story of the failed attempt of sending Ọbatalá to create the Earth. The comparison of the olófìn and ìjòyè to the concept of Trinity in Christianity is particularly interesting. Same with the distinction of Olódùmarè from Agnostos Theos: if Paul claims that Agnostos Theos is YHWH in Acts 17:23, how do we then equate Olódùmarè and YHWH? Finally, if YHWH is all-knowing (omniscient; knowing the end from the beginning) and the knowledge of Olódùmarè is ever expanding (suggesting the knowledge increases as we learn more?), how do we reconcile this difference?
This is master piece. Excellent work. I am very pleased, my sister. You brought to fore the mystery of Almighty God. This is awesome. May God continue to bless you richly and grant every godly desire of yours. You are loved.
No wonder the Yorubas has the best eulogy.
This is an eye opener.
Thank you mama. More Grace
This is amazingly beautiful & distinctively put together. The presentation made me to appreciate God for He has made all things beautiful for His own glory. I celebrate God in your life & passion for Yoruba language exposition. Excellent job!
Nice one! She's very good. May the Lord bless this gift in Jesus name.
Hhmnmn!!! Beautiful! That is my description of this. Very inspiring, engaging and enlightening. I thank God for your life.
It's difficult to express the incredible feeling that this documentary evokes, and Dr. Damola and her team have executed it with impeccable timing. What better time than now to showcase the beauties and complexities layered within the Yoruba language?
An observation or perhaps a plea to my fellow “no-nonsense, say it as it is” Gen-z.

This is a Deep Worship in Yoruba Dialect. It's an insight into the Person and Attributes of the Almighty God known as Olodumare. Well Done my Sister. More insight into the realm of the Supernatural in JESUS name
This is a beautiful masterpiece. Yoruba people have a rich history and understanding of the Creator of the universe.
Well done sis.

Amazing. Thank You. More please. We need to teach our children our culture & history more.
Morphology, phonology, etymology etc. I learnt more English words in this Yoruba video. Your knowledge and application of it is inspiring. The different scenes, names of God, historical background and meaning of the word 'Eledumare' added sweetness to the 17min video. Thank you 🙏🏾
Olódùmarè Oba ohun gbogbo... I love this great Expository in deep Yoruba knowledge about the Person of God. God bless you Mama❤️
I believe that God revealed himself (and still does) to every tribe and tongue before the advent of Christ and evangelism. Thank you for this insightful and instructive work on the revelation of God to the Yoruba people. I look forward to the next episode; 'OYIGIYIGI'. Hope you will touch on 'AWAMARIDI' as well.

This is amazing goose bumps all over my body as you sings God praises
This is so profound, inspirational and educative.

Waoh 👍👍👍 this is highly educating great one ma I love this
This is a beautiful and great work ma! Very inspiring...
I'm neither a Yoruba Poet enthusiast nor a Yoruba Art scholar but Dr Damọla Adesina's work is both research and spiritual.
The description of God( Olofin orun, Ọlọrun, Olodumare etc) according to the Yoruba's; is deep, Spiritual and cannot be adequately understood or expressed .....Aribirabata, Arabaribiti, Eletigbaroye, Akikitan, Oyigiyigi, Awimayẹhun, Alágbádána....
The multitudes of names the Yoruba's use - to praise / eulogize our heavenly Father sounds so much like speaking in tongues.
I look forward to subsequent presentations .
This is profound,rich, inspiring and revelational.This work should go viral,it is highly educative too.Adequate knowledge helps adequate worship.Keep the good work please.
An interesting and educational video. Growing up, hearing the different variations of Gods name in Yoruba songs. I never knew much of the deeper meanings except the fact that they reference God.
Quite an inspiring piece. I appreciate the in-depth analysis done and how it was all put together. A job well done.
The depth of research and analysis is of vital significance to our understanding of the influence of culture in contemporary Christianity. Thank you Dr. Damola Adesina
Thank you for this amazing episode, ma'am. I can't wait to find out what Oyígíyigì means.

It's my first time seeing and hearing of a Yoruba Poet.
Cheers ma'am 💕

The scriptural revelations and correlations were mind blowing ma🥹
What an inspiring and humbling way to reaveal the depths of God beyond human comprehension.
This is amazing! Very insightful and informative. It shows just how great is and how he is perceived even in the Yoruba language.

Thanks a bunch for this information Ma.
Amazing piece of work.
Though their is cross cultural variations in knowledge and meaning making about God, all cultures acknowledge the existence of the Almighty God as distinct from smaller gods.
This is universal truth and carrying our research to reveal this truth is a novel endeavour.
Very well done sis❤️💕
This is revealing. "Olofin-Orun". Awesome! Great job Dr.
very indept and artful presentation educative and enlightening
This is deep , informative and educative. I love your clean , clear and undiluted ascent . Kabiyesi Olodumare
This is absolutely beautiful!!!
Absolutely interesting, inspiring and brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next episodes. Well done.
It’s a masterpiece. This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes ❤🙏
Well crafted and put together great piece of art. This is a combination of Knowledge, Culture, deep insight and great admiration of the Almighty God. Great production too. Congratulations Dr Damola Adesina
More Grace my Sister, its indeed very informative. In all your findings and research I still appreciate the Supremacy of God , the father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST above all types and shadows.
Thumbs up because at least you respect yourself and you stay in your lane.
Wow!!! What a deep and insightful research work.
Dr Damilola Adeshina you have shined light into some abstracts about Yoruba culture in relation to the reality of The Almighty.
Well done. Such a beautiful and enriching work.
You are blessed even for greater exploit in Jesus name.
What a beautiful, awesome and a well displayed artistic talent, more grace. Looking forward for the next episode.
Wholesome, very educative and informing.
Woow!!! This is so beautiful and insightful❤
Amazingly enriching and inspiring. From the opening to the end I could not stop it. Thanks I am better educated on this topic.
Please keep the good work going.

Kudos to the presenter for this succinct submission. It would be great if as part of her etymological analysis of OLODUMARE she is able to reference the work of Agba Awo Solagbade Popoola whose submission on the Origin of Olodumare (the Akamara phenomenon) brings a new dimension to the study of the Almighty Creator entity.

This is deep and engaging. I’ve always said that the Yoruba language is one of the most expressive (if not the most) in the world. Thank you for doing this.
How many other languages (not just European) do you know as well as you know Yoruba?
What a masterpiece delivery of the deep knowledge of the wonderful Yoruba religious cultural life. I am bless and in well reception of this piece, and I am eagerly waiting for the other episodes. This narrative I believe will set many of my people free. Thank you.
Amazing Grace for this deeply insightful and important documentary that is building a bridge between the Yoruba traditional understanding and worship of the Supreme Being and our embrace of Christianity! A Big Well Done Damola!
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Great Job. This is commendable, well-analyzed, and structured.
This is great and highly commendable, it shows how religion interwoven, very educative and enlightening. This work might be useful at the tertiary level in our educational system. God will grant you wisdom for more of this in Jesus name.

Dr. Adesina this is extraordinary. This is creativity and originality personified. This should attract global attention
This is a new dimension. Beautiful n Great!
Awesome! Well done Sister, this piece encapsulates the fact that God indeed revealed himself to the Yoruba race in traditional worship and Ifa mythology. Olofin Orun resonates strongly as God truly is Almighty. Thank you profoundly for your well articulated submissions God bless you immensely AMEN
This is a much needed insightful exploration of who we were. It is also a bridge from our past to our present. Thanks Dr Damola for blazing the trail in our renewed quest for identity & purpose. I’m looking forward to further exciting presentation & conversation around this theme. Bravo 👍
The Almighty still remain supreme over all the deities

Wow!!! This is simply awesome. It captures so much information about God from the Yoruba culture. The English interpretations also helps the non- Yoruba listeners to glean enough understanding of Almighty God(Olorun). It's very inspiring.
This is deep and important for knowledgeable and inquisitive Educated researching people of the world. It reminds me of the piecethe Holy Spirit helped me to write years ago:Tittled - Jesu ninu Alukurani ati Odu Ifa Ona igbala fun gbogbo eniyan.Hopeful that the subsequent ones with ttis shall lead Souls to know God through his ONLY begotten Son to be saved and abide in the LORD forever. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.Gideon Eesuola.

Wow! This is very impressive. All the ideas are very well articulated. Kudos for a job well done . Good job my sister !
A true experience of Olorun can only be when better understanding of cultural foundations and identities are possessed and embraced. God has made provisions of understanding who He is even beyond the Israelic lenses in our cultural identies. This makes it easier for each man to know the Supreme Being based on his immediate surroundings. Olorun, Eni ti oni Orun.
Thank you Dr. for these explicit views you have shared.
This video has a lot of food for thought and I certainly learnt more about Olódùmarè than the story of the failed attempt of sending Ọbatalá to create the Earth.
The comparison of the olófìn and ìjòyè to the concept of Trinity in Christianity is particularly interesting.
Same with the distinction of Olódùmarè from Agnostos Theos: if Paul claims that Agnostos Theos is YHWH in Acts 17:23, how do we then equate Olódùmarè and YHWH?
Finally, if YHWH is all-knowing (omniscient; knowing the end from the beginning) and the knowledge of Olódùmarè is ever expanding (suggesting the knowledge increases as we learn more?), how do we reconcile this difference?
This is master piece. Excellent work. I am very pleased, my sister. You brought to fore the mystery of Almighty God. This is awesome. May God continue to bless you richly and grant every godly desire of yours. You are loved.
God is good 🙌
