Mo ṣe Iba o! “Ifa ni k’á má fi kánjúkánjú jayé, kí a má fí wàràrà lo okùn ọrọ̀. Ifa tún ní ohun tí a fi ṣe àgbà kí a má fi ṣe ìbínú nítorí ẹ̀yìnwá ọ̀la…”. Ifa si` tún ni ki a ma ja ijàkú’jà, ki a má baà jẹ̀bik’ẹbi.
(Here Ifa is advising us to think deep before taking actions, to be fair and just when we fight, defend or judge others, never to be in a rush to judgement and to always think about how things might turn out in the future).
As the whole world is going crazy around us right now, and even the children, the defenseless and the aged are feeling the impact and hopelessly displaced, world leaders are a tad bit concerned, except the talk about weapons, allies, counter offensives and how to prevent refugees from being rescued. So as the “brothers and sisters keepers” have vacated their posts, the disenfranchised have several options left though, one of which is to embrace IFA.
