This great man, now a legend in Nigeria, Brazil, Venezuela, United States and other countries of the world, said to me 44 years ago (I was 14 when he initiated me to Ifa in 1974), “Diran, even if you get a Ph.D or become a professor, you will still be a full time practising Babalawo”.
I looked at him silently thinking I would have it my own way, just practice Ifa but with a career because I loved academics.
Now, can you tell me who was right?
The words of Olodumare-sent elders are words of wisdom. I have fulfilled my destiny. I have had no regret becoming what he prophesied, Babalawo.
Who else could I be appreciating today if not my irreplaceable father, Oloye Akano Fasina Agboola, late Araba of Lagos. May he continue to sleep peacefully with Olodumare. Ase.
Happy fathers’ Day to you all.
Stay blessed.
