“YORÙBÁ DID NOT OWN IFÁ. THEY LEARNT IT!” SHAYKH DROPS A HISTORICAL BOMBSHELL! 🔥 This is not your regular lecture. Dr. Shaykh Imran Eleha has come out swinging, challenging the historical origins of Ifá and confronting those who, in his view, confidently make claims without adequately researching their own history. His position is unequivocal: Ifá was imported into Yorùbá land; it did not originate with the Yorùbá people. He draws comparisons between Ifá and Al-Raml (geomancy), points towards the people of Misr (Egypt), particularly the Aswān and Nubian regions, and insists that the Yorùbá people adopted a practice that already existed elsewhere. And for those questioning his authority to speak, he reminds them that he has spent approximately 40 years learning and researching, and has not stopped studying. But perhaps the most provocative part? His categorical assertion that the Yorùbá had no prophet, book or miracles of their own. He even directs his audience to Samuel Johnson's The History of the Yorubas, challenging everyone to investigate what was written about the introduction of Ifá into Yorùbá land. 🎙️ Dr. Sheikh Imran Abdul-Majeed Eleha Language: Yoruba

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.

For four good days, I researched. Four days, I have been comparing plants to know which one exactly this verse talked about. I made calls, but the name "Oloworansansan" tend to be a name coined from elders in Ilu-Oké. So I visited my grandmother— she's 93, and she told me another name for the plant is Sida Acuta (Ewe Osepotu), Thus, the plant Ojembele used as broom to sweep out evil from his home is the plant below. She also said some people in rural areas still use it as broom till date.

Yes, Ifa talks about Depression,grief and also suicide.🤍✨
