The blood sacrifice is a process of slaughtering and using the blood of the sacrificial animals such as pigeon, cock, hen, guinea fowl, duck, tortoise, he goat, she goat, ram, sheep, pig, cow, It should be noted that, as a diviner, you cannot do without blood sacrifice. One is not committing any crime by killing these animals; afterall we do slaughter chickens or other animals for consumption. The reason why these animals have to be killed is stipulated in Irosun Meji where God sent Oodua to the Earth. He gave him a rope so that he can hold the world  together .1n order to succeed in his mission, he consulted diviner who advised him to perform sacrifice with two goats., two sheep, food items etc.

Well, what can I say?. All but thank you to Olodumare The Supreme Being for adding another year to my years, he has shown me nothing but love ever since I was born. What about the Irunmole, My Orí? They have been merciful to me. The guidance they have given me, which they are still giving makes me understand how to go about life. They defeat my eleninis (enemies), protected me from any evil/ajogun in this life.

An Ifa Priest and National Social Secretary of the Ifa Council, Baba-Awo Awogbemiga Bogunmbe, has revealed the readiness of traditional religion worshipers to assist the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to uncover owners of  monies recently found by the anti-graft agency in different parts of the country.

"if someone has a good destiny and his inner self works against that good destiny, there will always be problems" -FAMA (1993) Yoruba as a language is a very complex language. It is like Ifa you cannot finish learning it, you keep learning and learning as a word may connotes different meanings via its Ami (Accent mark). To any Yoruba man, the word "Orí" has several meanings, Orí means Head. It means the apex of all things, the highest of any endeavor. What Orí connotes therefore is superlative or the zenith. For instance, the head is the highest and most important in the human body. It houses the brain which controls the whole body. Orí is the head, "Head" is the top, "Top" is the Supreme while "Supreme Being" is Olodumare.

As the Yoruba adage goes "Odo ti o ba gbagbe orisun re, o se tan a ti parun" ( The river that forgets it source is ready for extinction). The African Diaspora Ancestor Commemoration Institute (ADACI) never forgets her source as she celebrates her 25th Commemoration anniversary which comes up on the 9th and 10th of June 2017 at Washington D.C the country's (U.S.A) capital plus you are all invited to take part in the movement.
