Just a note....Haters comments will be removed!!

Ya hear me?

i think iwindara, should look at his own character as well , or even some of the shenanigans that go on in the orisa congress. Are we to believe that the ifa council as whole slanders and destroys people character and reputation. Let us not even go into the politics that are evident in the priesthood of osogbo. Are you really championing chief atanda. I suggest you really study your politics "boy" before you criticize any organization. Your oluwo are friends with babalawos in the ifa council.

[osunyemi]

aboru, aboye

my point is we must all clean up our own house and then love one another. criticisms are valid since we are inside the tradition and it is our duty to make it conform to the highest law, that of the creator. In the big picture we are still one family.

thank you so much for this conversation between Chief Atanda and Araba Agbaye. Its go that folks know that the Ifa Council is wrecking havoc on the world Orisa community, in West Africa and the Diaspora. kudos to you.

I love the conversation Chief Atanda is having with the Araba Agbaye. Its good that folks know the truth that Ifa Council is ruining the Orisa community and Yorubaland's reputation in the world Orisa communities in Africa and throughout the Diaspora.

[osunyemi]

ORUMILA ABORU ORUMILA ABOYE, to the ONE who made the comment about the phil neimark stop it buddy. its one thing if you dont like someone and what they do but do lie on them remember IFA IS ABOUT TRUTH..AS IT IS.. NOT WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE

PLEASE,PLEASE CONTINUE your "WISE" talking,I'm sure that all SERIOUS-MINDED PEOPLE are paying you attention.Just by the RACIST remarks you make ,people can see the level of your intelligence. Ifa says..."IF WICKEDNESS PAYS ME,I WILL BE A KING ON EARTH,IF WICKEDNESS DOES NOT PAY ME,I WILL BE A KING IN HEAVEN...MAY IFA GIVE YOU THE BLESSINGS THAT ARE DUE TO YOU..ABORU,ABOYE,ABOSISE O,IWORIWOFUN...........

religion has nothing to do with the corruption in Africa. I live in britain, over 80 percent of the population are atheist, yet it's a developed country.

actually, there should be no charge but u know people learn things for different purposes,Not all pastors are truthful as well.

[kwekuafroolmec]

well with so many babalawos in nigeria, they can not solve the problem of corruption in nigeria, also they are initiating too many crackas in nigeria, and that belgium cracka,susan wenger in oshogbo,chief atanda must ask himself that question, how ifa has become commercialized

in the west,where babalawos charge enormous ammount of money, and what about phillip neimark who charges 10.000 dollars for hand of ifa,nobvody is living maatic principles or following maatic laws.

I lived in Ife, Nigeria as a kid. That was a long time ago in th 1970s. It was an experience that I would trade for nothing. I was the type of kid that got the most out of the experience you possibly could have. If my parents saw a tiny fraction of the stuff I did....You have to go with an open mind and expect nothing for yourself.
