Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is the traditional spiritual and cultural practice of the Yoruba people.
It is not just religion, it is a way of life.
It teaches:
• Respect
• Good character (Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́)
• Destiny (Orí)
• Balance with nature
• Honor for our ancestors👇
Earlier, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ọjájá II Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi CFR, The Ooni of Ife, had arrived in Warri alongside The Oore of Otun Ekiti, the Paramount Ruler of Mobaland in Ekiti State, and other revered traditional rulers to join His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atuwatsé III, CFR, the Olu of Warri, in receiving The First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, CON, as she landed at the airport en route to the Olu Palace in Warri Kingdom.
EXCLUSIVE: Do you know the OONI OF IFE has been paying salaries of some Traditional Rulers in Osun State since the Local Government Allocation have been withheld by the Federal Government?
I was privileged to speak with a monarch in Osun State today and he said there over 20 of them that he personally knows of receiving salaries from the OONI on a monthly basis.
Note: These Traditional Rulers are not in IFE and they're not under the OONI. They have their own towns and domains where they're Supreme.
In addition to this, the OONI also pays salaries to all Traditional Rulers in IFE under his rulership.
This is highly commendable from Baba ❤️

During Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to Nigeria in 1956, Oba Salami Adewunmi Ajibola, the Olowu of Owu Abeokuta (reigned 1949–1972), met with her at the Lafenwa Abeokuta train station.
The meeting occurred on February 11, 1956, during her tour of the Old Western Region.
The visit was part of a 20-day tour of Nigeria by the Queen and Prince Philip.
Oba Salami Olowu of Owu Abeokuta was one of the key Yoruba traditional rulers to welcome the Queen in the region.
The Alááfin of Òyó (KÀBIYÍN)
The cosmological belief of the Yourba the calabash of existence that accompanies Sàngó to earth is derived under Odu IFA known as OKANRAN MEJI.
Whenever the Babalawo divines and that particular Odu IFA emerged out of the divination bowl, it is three times that particular Babalawo and those around him will rise from the divination mat upon which they sit and hail the Odu.
First,they will hail the Odu thus: KÀBIYÍN KÒSÍ.
It is the absolute Odu and it was a form of greeting Alaafin Sàngó. As a result of the linguistic usage, that appellation for Sàngó was contracted to KÀBÍYÈSÍ which is now used as a greetings for other Yoruba king to defied and he became a religion that is now worshipped in all Yoruba speaking world.

Your job may not be your calling. But it is your income.
Be grateful for it.
Someone took a chance & hired you.
Pray for them! Mean them well. Do what you were hired to do.
Take nothing for granted. Some people can't find a job.
Nothing compares to the pure love and warmth that mothers bring into our lives.
So get on the golden side of life with other moms and pour pure love with Golden Terra Soya Oil.
At 15, my father sent me to a stranger's house at night.
It changed the trajectory of my life.
I was struggling with Maths.
In Mushin, there was one tutor everyone whispered about.
He was so good he taught the children of the wealthy privately.
Bode Omotowoju Bankole.
My father went to see him.
We couldn't afford his prices.
After much persuasion, the compromise was harder to swallow.
He would charge 100 Naira per hour
but the condition was that I had to spend the night at his place.
He needed every naira he could earn to survive as a UNILAG student.
My mother said no.
My father looked at me
and said nothing.
He hustled for the money.
And he took the risk.
Poverty does not give you perfect conditions.
At night, Bode would wake me:
"Wale, what time is it?"
"3am."
Then we did Maths for two hours.
Night after night.
For weeks.
When I returned to school, something had shifted.
I wasn't catching up.
I was flying.
In the end:
WAEC - A1 (Maths)
NECO - A1 (Maths)
Those foundations stayed with me.
They are part of why I chose Civil Engineering years later when I returned to university as an undergraduate at age 30.
This is why I struggle when I see young people refuse to engage.
This generation faces fewer barriers to knowledge than any in history.
