On OAU campus in 2013, I had a dream where an Angel warned me not to allow anyone refer to me as omo Oduduwa (child of Oduduwa) because Oduduwa is a god who is still alive till date.
I couldn't make any meaning of the dream, but I kept it in my heart. I never knew that the dream would be the first piece in a puzzle that would lead to a very long story that I would be writing 10 years later.
Towards the end of 2021, the Holy Spirit began to point my attention towards an icon in the history of the Yoruba race- Oranmiyan. My research, however began in 2022. Today, I am delighted to bring this to you.
As you may already know, I am a scribe instructed in kingdom matters. I research into past events to bring prophetic intelligence for the sake of intercession. What made the Holy Spirit to mention Oranmiyan to me was a question I asked him.
I noticed the return of Yorubas to traditional worship again. Ifa is gaining prominence in the land again. The advent of Amotekun that trusts in Ifa to fight off the Fulani herdsmen is a classic example. I remember watching the former governor of Osun state holding meeting with priests of demonic altars, witches and wizards in the government house on how to secure the state on T.V.
There is also a strange surge in the number of young men that now see trading with demonic spirits as a viable option to make money. We call it yahoo yahoo, but it is actually young men trading with demons and the only commodity demons want is soul. It has suddenly become appealing even to teenagers.
I also noticed that a lot of young people are becoming apologetics of Ifa. They claim that Christianity painted Ifa deity as bad which is wrong and unfair. Some of their arguments that I have seen on Facebook showed how many supporters they have. It is shocking to discover that those who were Christians too are falling into this trap.
These were the things I noticed that made me ask the Holy Spirit about what is going on. His reply was that I should study Oranmiyan. Also, as you may know, my research is not always purely academic. The Holy Spirit reveals secrets to me in dreams, meditations and even time travel like He did for me in the case of Usman Dan Fodio. So, you may read somethings here that have no historical reference. It will be your choice to believe.
I have watched crusades where witches and priests of demonic altars gave their lives to Jesus and charms were burnt. The reverse is the case today as people are gladly and publicly returning to Ifa. The Holy Spirit told me that it is because of the seeds Oranmiyan sowed into the land that is manifesting. He said we need to know those seeds and uproot them in prayers.
Which seed did Oranmiyan sow into Yoruba land?
What did Oranmiyan do that is making Yoruba people long for Ifa again?
Who was Oranmiyan?
