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 establishing a dynasty/generation that worships that prince as a god.

This was the settings that Lamurudu met in Egypt and in his sojourn there, he found a prince too. The name of that prince is Oduduwa. Lamurudu fellowshipped with this prince till he took up the nature and name of this demonic prince. So, he entered as Lamurudu, but became Oduduwa. This is why there is no record of Oduduwa before Egypt. All historical material point at Oduduwa being an Egyptian. No. Oduduwa was never a man. He is a demonic prince that exists till date. He, just like every other prince, seeks obeisance from men. This is why Yoruba people are referred to as children of Oduduwa.

An example of it in the bible is in Ezekiel 28 which talks about a certain king of Tyre. Verse 1 to 10 talks about how the man wanted to be a god and did terrible things in the pursuit of this. Then from verse 11, the narrative, still talking about the same king of Tyre, suddenly changes to Lucifer. How he was in Eden and made with great stones. So, we have two personalities with the same name. One is a man, the other is a spirit.

This is the same pattern for Lamurudu. He entered this same pattern and learnt from a man called YARIBA. Yariba taught him how to fellowship with demons and Lamurudu began to fellowship with a prince called ODUDUWA. This is why there is no record of Oduduwa before Egypt. The name Oduduwa was first mentioned in Egypt

The Ijebus believe that they are direct descendants of the ancient Nubian tribe of Egypt because of the similarities in ritual patterns and linguistics. So, Lamurudu entered Egypt as a king, but left as a man who had fellowshipped heavily with a prince called Oduduwa so much that he began to introduce himself as Oduduwa. This is where Oduduwa came from. So, I agree with those who say that Oduduwa is a god.

Lamurudu became so skillful that Yariba became jealous. It led to a fight and Lamurudu had to leave Egypt. He moved in phases. Stopped in Sudan for a while, then North east Nigeria, North central before settling in Ile ife.Lamurudu would have loved to stay in Egypt, but his territory was heavily contested by men of similar stature. So, he had to leave.

Lamurudu, possessed by Oduduwa, set out of Egypt in search of a territory he can take over for himself. That territory would eventually be Ile Ife. This is why some Yoruba historians would insist that Lamurudu never existed in the story of the Yoruba race. They speak of Oduduwa as the projenitor.

Those who regard Oduduwa as a man are correct because of the way Lamurudu morphed into Oduduwa, but those who refer to Oduduwa as a god are more correct.

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...
