Oranmiyan (Part 2: Who is Oduduwa?)




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 So, you may read somethings here that have no historical reference.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?

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
