My Wedding Invitation (Part 1)

I thought it was my alarm that was ringing until I checked my wall clock and saw 4:28am. Could that be a call? Who could that be? I had switched off my phone the previous night to preserve the low battery that was on it, but I switched it back on around 2am when I woke up and saw that power has been restored.

I picked my phone and saw 37 missed calls and 2 messages. My heart beat immediately collected a baton and began to race. I mumbled tongues under my breathe as I checked the missed calls. Different numbers; my parents, siblings, pastors, friends. What's happening?

I checked the messages and I became lost. "Olanrewaju, what is going on? Your Dad just saw your wedding invitation on Facebook", "Lanre, what is this on your Facebook page? You're getting married?" The first was from Mum while the second was my Pastor's. I adjusted myself and read the messages again. My wedding invitation?

I switched on my data and WhatsApp messages poured in- "Congratulations, you didn't even tell us", "Guy, you wan marry?", "Is a lie! Ghen Ghen!!", "My pastor was doing low key something", "Aso ebi something", "finally, I will see your dance steps". My friends were already "making plans". Abi I am dreaming ni?

Facebook notifications nko? This person commented on a photo you were tagged in, that person commented on a photo you were tagged in. It was like film trick. You needed to see my face as the notifications poured in. Kilonsele? Who is getting married?

I opened my Facebook app. Verily verily I say unto you, brothers and sisters, I saw my wedding invitation. I stood behind this sister, firmly holding her waist and we were smiling from ear to ear. And I was looking dap abi dapper in my suit or is it tuxedo. The thing was so nice I wished I have it. I even looked more handsome in the picture.

The second picture was the wedding invite. I am getting married in two weeks. The lady is a member of the church I just joined in Lagos and I have never said more than good morning to her in my entire life. How come we are standing inside this picture and we are getting married in two weeks? And she is even thanking people who are commenting "Congratulations, may God keep your home".

I wanted to switch off my phone, but I thought of my parents. They own 31 out of the 37 missed calls. I must get to Ibadan!

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
