The Ifa oracle has sent a special message to President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos state governor, Akinwumi Ambode.
The Association of African Traditional Religion of Nigeria (AATREN) during the special prayer session stated that it has been the usual practice of the organisation during its monthly meetings to ask the oracle Ifa, what it has in stock for the rulers of the nation.
The prophet said that sacrifices need to be made for Buhari and Ambode to have a peaceful tenure.
According to Chief Ifasegun Elegushi, the president of the orgnisation, “after such consultations made through one of the deities, Odus, Ifa Oturugbon, it was revealed that sacrifices should be offered to the gods for a peaceful tenure of our President Muhammadu Buhari and the governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode.
“Ifa further instructs us to make sacrifices for the peace, progress and protection of the nation and for Lagos State in particular.”
Elegushi also asked for more acknowledgment of his members by the administration, continuing that despite non-recognition and help from the authorities, the traditionalists cannot but act and play their role as law abiding residents to enable that peace and repose reign supreme wherever they reside.
“We believe as traditionalists to always do our bit and ensure that peace reigns supreme in and around where we reside. We have prayed as the oracle commanded, so that our leaders succeed and their tenure peaceful. It is when they have peaceful governance that we also can operate with ease”, he said.
It is believed that in Yorubaland, Ifa is a connector between Eledumare (God) and mankind. Ifa is not a confusionist and neither he’s a traitor. Ifa explains the rationale behind wealth, sorrow, success, failure, sickness, death and the likes, and ensures purity and cleanliness.
People reportedly contact Ifa for guidance and prosperity in future.
