Amazing. In Africa this is a divinition practice and catalogue of yoruba culture. In europe they called it boolean algebra and used it to derive modern day programming languages to get you psychologically hooked on software like social media.
What a world.
Algorithm and data structures
@@lanryweezy9396 very true, I got to find out that what our ignorant generation of today refer to as ofo (won pofo) is actually recalling the divination algorithm in a form of a poem, as opposed to the europeans who have theirs in written form, and later on in coded format
Must have been an Ifa priest in a past life... This feels like home when i watch this, though I've never been to Africa...
This is completely amazing. Astonishing indeed. I am from Brazil and I've been having some difficulty to find concrete things about Ifá tradition. In Brazil we've got Candomblé (which is the few, albeit hefty) spiritual knowledge brought to this country with our ancestors (and kept under extreme secrecy) during the diaspora.
I am not and Initiated, but I've been studying African Spirituality for quite a while and seldom I find anything really concrete about the Philosophy (which is the aspect that fascinates me the most).
I hope I can keep on tracking these types of videos. It is SO hard to find anything about my ancestry philosofically saying... I wish it were easier...
I long to travel to Africa one day and finally meet and feel that energy which I know exists on the ancestor's grounds...
Ase!
Ashe wam!
David, you won't be dissapointed if you do come, especially if you go to the hinterland and back countryside of Yoruba land.
Come to southwestern Nigeria. Ile-Ife Osun state to be precise. You may visit the Ooni of Ife's palace for deep historical perspective.
You can get good books online, try ifaworks.com or Prof Wande Abimbola's books

May God continue to protect Yoruba land....
I love the Yoruba.
THEY R D BEST IN D WHOLE OF AFRICA SECOND TO THEM IS ETHIOPIA BCUZ OF YORUBA ANCIENT RENOWNED CIVILIZATION
BUT Once All Of Afrika Was 🇪🇹 called Ethiopia So Everyone Started there and Went All Through the Diaspora⁉💯👑
If we should properly study IFA, the YORUBA BODY of KNOWLEDGE or BOOK OF ENLIGHTENMENT, we should realize that it is both humanistic and scientific . The cultivator of IFA, divinity-philosopher Orunmila, who did contribute to the essence and meaning of Yorubaland, must have been inspired during his lifetime by Creator-Philosopher Olodumare. Divinity-philosopher Orunmila is one of the eminent ancestors/pedigrees (divinity-philosophers) during our oral culture. (Other eminent divinity philosophers are Oduduwa, Sango, Ogun, Obatala, Oshun, Olokun, Yemoja, Esu, Sango, Oya, Sopona, Oshosi and a few to mention.) They had all contributed to the good of Yorubaland of old.
God continue to bless you my Unle.. Uncle TEEKAY

New on this Journey but im loving the comments i read which motive me to take it seriously
I’m proud to be a babalawo 🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍
Best introductory documentary i have seen on this form of divination thus far . Thank you.
I thank God for finding this channel; then, I called this 'YORUBA ORIGINALITY'
Really fascinating.Africa has her own computational systems .All of this is data science.The curse of the African is that he allow himself to be distracted from his own knowledge systems and cultural riches.We haven't lost anything.it's just a matter of time
A very incisive dive into the essence and mechanics of Ifa divination. Efforts like this will help to address the gap of poor documentation and presentation of Ifa, the fulcrum of the knowledge base and timeless wisdom of the Yorubas. This video beyond offering excellent education ultimately delivers on premium and contemporary positioning of Ifa, which many in my generation dismiss ignorantly as ancient and fetish. Time dedicated to watching this video is the best investment of my time today.
ITS BECAUSE MOST YORUBA HAVE BEEN ZOMBIFIED AND STILL SUFFERING FROM A "(COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS OF RELIGION PROPAGANDA BY THE CRIMINALS IN WESTERN COUNTRIES AND ARAB COUNTRIES AS WELL)!!!
Ase Amen💯👑The Religious Phycosis is Heavy Upon Our People⁉
Thank you for bringing this information/documentary by an African person. Only reason why I clicked on this video.
Yes I'm sick of other people having the audacity to tell me about my own culture.

Hi sis❤️, Well hope you shouldn’t feel I’m bothering you, I can’t just inbox you for no reason, if I’m permitted, can I tell you what I sense?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To think how much I've been made to detest my heritage.
Mystery or science? Ohhh what a hard question!
aina-louisa carter science is the answer for you
Science is a mystery to most people... including scientists...ask someone to actually explain wave/particle duality, or the Heisenberg uncertainty principal, or quantum particle entanglement...
Just look at how prof Akinwunmi is explaining odu ifá
If I were not an yoruba man from the creator of the universe it would have be a very biG lost to my soul, ọmọ Yorùbá ataata ni mi, eledumare ṣeun
The Odu Ifa on the thumbnail is Ogbe Otura.
Akella Haynes meaning?
pls sir, is there any book or books or media that you can refer me to I want to learn more about ifa
There are loads of books, go online ifaworks.com or try Prof Wande Abimbola's books, hope this helps
Ifa orunmila
hmm?
Is the IFA a book.
Ifa or AFA is a spiritual book and a spiritual world .... 🌎
i thought 240 minor plus 16 major would equal 256 not 246...did i miss something?
2 to the power of 8 ...it complete Binary number ...IFA is the first system of Binary and to me it more of science than mystery more like quantum computing ...there is duality ...
256 not 246
16 major odus plus 242 minor odus make 256 in total
Hi sis❤️, Well hope you shouldn’t feel I’m bothering you, I can’t just inbox you for no reason, if I’m permitted, can I tell you what I sense?
IFA could as well mean IFE, which means LOVE. IFE is a body of knowledge in the Humanities and science. Its scientific arm of knowledge is seemingly beyond the compass of human understanding. Its research--on how many fields of knowledge it covers, continues.
Ifa doesn't have any connection with Ife. The two words have different tones and vowels. In fact, they are derived from different roots.
Ifa with the intonation re mi - flat and high tone vowels i and a ( no annunciation mark on i and / on a). Ife with intonation do mi, on the other hand, has the low and high accent on the vowels (i with \ and e with a dot underneath has the / accent mark)
ifa = sacra scientia
Its more like some topics in Mathematics :Binary numbers, Matrix and a little bit of Probability. I guess those people into Ifa must be mathematical geniuses to give the whole 256 odu different meanings and readings🤷♂️
So what do they do? Is this voodoo
Voodoo is a western thing. This was what the Yoruba people's way of life before the interruption. This was their support system. A body of oral wisdom used chart a clear path when there is confusion.
@@oladipo8951 not exactly Wesern, it is still West African, Vodun originates from around the Dahomey area like Fon/Ewe etc, the meaning of "Vodun" in their language is a bit similar to the meaning of Òrìsà in Yoruba.....or course it was transplanted across the Atlantic and modified by African descendants in Haiti. .and it has been completely misrepresented and demonized by western hollywood...(as they normally try demonize everything originally African, plus they have extra hate for Vodou because it played a powerful role in in the Haitian revolution where African people fought to overcome slavery and kick out France including even defeating Napoleon's army)
We were part of the Hebrew linage of the ancient days. Check the Jebu, check the Bamileke.
If u are a Yoruba, go deep into knowing ur self as a nation, go nearer to babalawo, not those Christian or Muslim practicing it for commercial business ooo, in our history we do not come from any lineage other than Yoruba. In fact the world started from ile ife
Why Hebrew? Why couldn't we have originated somewhere else in Africa. This Nigerian cultural attachment to Israel is ludicrous.
Very interesting...it appears to be an even more intricate means of casting lots...if only the lots are inspired by Jesus Christ and not some orisha demon, we may have a veritable means of approaching the divine .
Wole King if not of ifa that navigates your generation would have been slaves. Do yours and leave others.
Kako, how can our heroes past in Yoruba culture be likened to demons? Are you insane or ignorant ni? Orisha simply means, "he who destiny picks."
Our Orishas are not gods or God, but mere mortals like you and myself, who God almighty, allowed to impact our societies.
The heroes or legends of the west are fake, non existent entities, like Superman, Spiderman and Hulk etc, who history and reality do not recognize.
If Awolowo was alive during the period of Orunmila and Shango etc, and he did what he did in his generation back then, he too would have been an Orisha and he still might be, 1000years from now.
Personally, in Yoruba culture, your parents are your Orisha and must be revered and you are here, spewing your stupid ignorance about demons in relations with your great ancestors. I feel like slapping sense into your empty ignorant head.
@Luis Monsanto I dont trust no one with the name Monsanto
