Àróbá baba ítán: Oral tradition is the key of history

Aboru Aboye ooo

“Bó omodé kò bá mo ìtàn
Ó ní láti bá àróbá
Àróbá baba ítán

If a child does not know history
He/she must have the knowledge of oral tradition
Oral tradition is the key of history…..

These assertion would let us know the significance of oral tradition in history. Ifa as a fountain of knowledge was passed down from generation to generation through oral tradition in Yorubaland. All the Ifa verses in the 256 chapters of Odu Ifa are studied through oral tradition and must be in man’s memory as his own gift to mend his and others world for good.

It’s lack of knowledge and understanding that made people to forsake their spirituality.

Look around you today. What did you see? Chaos, hatred and lust.

It is high time we all returned to our root, connect with nature and feel the true essence of existence of life.

I have said mine again. Those who will listen will listen and those who will ignore will surely ignore. As the Yoruba use to say that:
Ajá tó bá máa sonù
Kò ní gbó fèrè Olóde

A dog that will get lost
Will never listen to whistle of the hunter.

I pray that Ifa will not make us lost by the grace of Olodumare. Ase!!!
