Olodumare (GOD ) In Yoruba Ifa & Orisa Is Monotheistic: See What Odu (Ifa Verse) Osa Otura Says !

How other Orisha are energies through which mankind can reach Olodumare. For example if you want to see an emperor of an empire you cannot expect to just enter  his palace, you will need to see some chiefs who are next in rank to him, who can communicate with him easily and get what they want from him easily than you will do. So it is wise for you to send such chief to the emperor to get what you want for you quickly than for you to be spending donkey of years to get what you want from an emperor that you may not communicate with easily. The yoruba people so respect Olodumare that they channel their request through an energy called orisha to Olodumare and to be sincere with very verifiable proof they get quick answer. That is why even people that claim to embrace foreign religion whether Christian or Muslim 99% of them still fall back on these energies when situation is expedient for it.

Many people run from their root just to follow crowd due to inherited Colonial mentality to be sincere with you there is nothing good about colonialism whether their culture Or religion they bring to Africa it all base on mean to enslave us.up till date western religion and culture and some times the educational system that the African inherited from their individual colonial master has always been a source of impediment to African development. While the Western, Eastern religion, read and write Education system alone without technical know how to robbed and pillage African of their natural resources up till today as they do during time of slave trade. Well that is by the way I am just concerned.

Olodumare is given many names like :Eledumare, Eduard, Old run, olofin orun, Oluwa, Eleda, Adeda, Aseda, Alase, etc. The list is endless. The name Olorun (whish mean the owner of heaven become predominant in usage with the coming of foreign colonial religion like Christianity and Islam )these foreign religion try as much as possible to avoid to use the name olodumare because they believe it take people back to their tradition.Olorun still mean same thing as Olodumare because is just using different name to refer to one entity. But Olodumare is the real Yoruba name for GOD and all others names are secondary to Olodumare. So what then is the meaning of the word Olodumare? The word Olodumare has be giving various meaning by our fathers.

My first point of call is that the word come from the word OLODU OMO ARE (THAT IS AN ENTITY THAT IS SO ENORMOUS OR BIG YET WE CAN NOT ASCERTAIN IT LOCATION )

Odu means a very big clay pot, Are mean a location that we can not ascertain, hence if Yoruba parent sends a child an errands and they don’t know his or her where about or ascertain where he was they will say ‘MI o MO ibi to rin irin ARE lo'(that Is I don’t know his whereabouts )so the word Olodumare come from the word OLODU OMO ARE  (that is the entity that is so big and enormous yet we cannot fathom or ascertain where it is ) .

The second view is that OLODU TO MARE (that is the only big entity that knows what is right ) but to be sincere the first view is the most correct. Olodumare is aslo know as:
