Why Trinidad and Tobago citizens value Yoruba culture — Elebuibon

THE renowned Ifa Priest and Araba of Osogbo, Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon has revealed why the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago appreciate Yoruba culture and struggle to propagate it.
Recalling his experience during his recent journey to the West Indian country, Chief Elebuibon said what he saw in the people delighted him and also gave him hope that Yoruba culture would survive the current threat.
In September, the Araba, on invitation, traveled to Trinidad and Tobago just after he had rounded off his annual Ogbeyonu festival held in Osogbo, his hometown.
He was in the country to attend the Isese festival where he delivered lecture and also mentored some Yoruba culture enthusiasts.

Elebuibon spoke on two topics, Role of ancestor in affairs of mankind and Messengers of Orisas. His audience was enthralled so much that they urged him to always honor them at the festival.
“I was equally impressed by their appreciation of our culture. At every compound, we were welcomed with drums and dance. They said they had been anxious to see me. It is another experience, which is unique in its own way.
“Although the country is not that rich, in terms of economy, the people are very warm and promoting their faith. Before I left, they had started making effort to impress it upon the government to set aside a day as Isese day. They are also working on their unity to achieve the goal. I told them that doing so is the only way to convince the incumbent government which seems to be indifferent to their demand,” he said.
The soft-speaking priest who was scheduled to travel to London and Brazil after the Ogbeyonu festival said that the Trinidad and Tobago invitation was considered satisfactory to the organizers of the Isese day.

According to him, the journey was worth its while as he was also taken to a place named Yoruba Village, a settlement that depicts Yoruba cultural heritage and historical materials, especially the slave trade that separated the forefathers of Elebuibon’s hosts from their root in Nigeria.
The visit ended with his visit to other important places in the North and Southern part of the country.
“They took me to the Mayor who also appreciated my visit. It is an eye-opening trip and the reason we must not stop to tell our people back home that our culture should not be toyed with because there are so many out there who are trying their best to identify with it,” he said.
The Araba is not only an Ifa priest, he is also a theatre practitioner and in fact, former vice-president of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Practitioners (ANTP) during the tenure of Adebayo Salami, otherwise known as Oga Bello.
Also, he is an author of books such as Poetry Voice of Ifa; Apetebii: The Wife of Orunmila; Adventures of Obatala 1 & 2;The Healing Powers of Sacrifice; Ifa, the Custodian of Destiny; The Invisible Powers of the Metaphysical World: A Peep Into the World of Witches; Iyere Ifa (Tonal Poetry, the Voice of Ifa): an Exposition of Yoruba Divination Chants; Irinajo Eda; Ogota Ewi Ogota Ajodun orikadun, New Series of Works; Soul Journeys of a Priest in the Wonderland; Water Spirit of Yorubaland; Healing Power of the Prayer and Iku, the Fearful Spirit.
Egungun: Dweller of Heaven
EGÚNGÚN, DWELLER OF HEAVEN
Egúngún is regarded as collective spirits of the Ancestors who occupy a space in heaven hence they are called ará òrun (Dweller
of heaven). These Ancestral spirits are believed to be in constant
watch over their survivors on earth. They bless, protect, warn and
punish their earthly relatives depending on how their relatives neglect
or remember them.

The
Ancestral spirits have collective function that cuts across lineage and
family loyalty; they collectively protect the community against evils
spirits, epidemics, famine, negative witchcraft and evildoers.
Generally, they ensure the well being, prosperity and productivity of
the whole community. The spirits could be invoked collectively and
individuals in times of need.
Their place of calling is usually either on the graves of the ancestors (Ojú Oórì) otherwise known as Ojú Eégún in some other parts of Nigeria, the family shrine (Ilé run) or in the community grove (Ìgbàlè or Igbó Eégún),
in essence the Yoruba keep in constant communion with their ancestors
whose spirits are believed to be closer to them than Òrìsà.
The
Ancestral spirits may also be invited to visit the earth physically in
Masques and such masquerades and they are also being referred to as
Egúngún. There are several categories of Egungun (Masquerades) in
Yorubaland. In the past, some Egungun led their community in war, this
type of Egungun are capable of exposing and executing wicked witches and
other evil doers in the society.
The herbalists have their own Egúngún, they are calledEégún Olóògùn in order to demonstrate their magical powers, the guild of hunters also have their own called Láyèwùaka Egúngún odę (Hunter’s Egúngún).
Some principal Orisa also have Egungun E.g. Egúnguún Oya (Oya’s Masquerade), Eégún Egbé (Peers of Heaven’s Egungun), we also have Egúngún Olóré for the Youths, Egúngún Alárìnjó,
they are entertainers, this Egungun dance, sings and sometimes display
acrobatics skills, they also act dramas to amuse their audience, they
sing ancestral lineage Oríkì.
We
also have Egungun display at funeral rite of passage, this Egungun will
mimic the lifestyle of the departed soul, the will walk like the
deceased and even wear the costume of the deceased so as to demonstrate
to the family that the departed had rose from the dead and dwell in
heaven with other ancestors.

The Story of Kujoyi the Offspring of Otero
Kujoyi was a brave elephant hunter and his wife ask him to give her tusk from the elephant every now and then. She keep asking her husband for this so she can be proud as a wife of powerful hunter.
Kujoyi
went inside the powerful jar and used sacred water to rub his body when
he went to the forest to hunt for the elephant. He met it in a place
where the elephant eat his break fast.
The elephant responds is “That not Kujoyi”
Kujoyii said, “It was me”
Elephant said, “You better turn back if not you will be arrested”.
Kujoyi came back home and his wife demand elephant tusk again
On the third occasion, the elephant arrested Kujoyi and carry him back.
When he arrived at Ikirun Agunbe they were ask “is that not Kujoyi”?
He responded, “it is me”.
They siad “by the time you kill animal you don't share it with us”.
Finally, they arrive at Eko Lagos. They ask Kujoyi, “What was the problem?”
He narrate to them.
“Why don't you recite incantation, the eyes of indigo dyer could not see the inside”
Kujoyi said, “I said so”
“Why don't you chant, tthe eyes of pot maker could not see inside”?
Kujoyi said, “I said so but elephant reject it”
“Why don't you say the eyes of a pregnant woman could not see her private part”?
Kujoyi said, “i said so but elephant reject it.”
The nose could only see the eyes briefly The sheep is always look sluggishly The rat that was put inside a gourd could not see The chant helped Kujoyi to get out of the elephant
Finally, Kujoyi was release from elephant.
Who is at fault?
The
family reject Kujoyi to come back home because they thought he had died
and they had performed funeral rite and is it his wife who sent him to
kill the elephant or is it Kujoyi himself or the family.

The
term sacrifice needs to be further explained in the Yoruba cultural
perspectives. Its connotation transcends the mere offer of gifts to the
poor. Sacrifice is propitiates. This is why it is otherwise known as
Etutu (that which propitiates). In another vain, sacrifice can be seen
as an atonement- career of bad fortunes and mishaps.Through the practice
of sacrifice, all forms of adversities are rubbed off the path of man
and nation and thus usher in positive fortunes of various magnitudes and
complexions. The place of sacrifice therefore should not be undermined
especially when one remembers that evil and good fortunes are like twin
sisters,almost always, each other's concomitant.

Araba: The Man, The Institution by Chief Yemi Elebuibon
Araba: The Man, The Institution by Chief Yemi Elebuibon
Every town and kingdom of Yorubaland must have a head figure in each sect of the traditional spirituality or religion. These people are the leaders and are regarded as the most senior member of each society.
They can't do it all alone, so they have their support system which
comprises other important members of the society. For example, The
Oluawo which is common in every town and kingdoms in Yoruba land, Oluawo
is the king of all the priests (Olu means king and Awo means pries)
this is also known as Araba in some other kingdoms.
Araba,
a title whose meaning was explained as silk cotton tree
(Ceibapentandra. Araba bab Iti (Araba father of trees), Aaje is high
priest of Obatala priests and it's referred to Ajoriwin in Ogbomoso. It
is called Ajagemo in Ede.
Today,
Araba is the archbishop as Yoruba adages says Araba ni n b'Obaselu, it
is the Araba that administrates the Kingdom for the King.
Araba's
importance in a kingdom or city are very numerous. In Kingdoms like
Osogbo, the Araba oversees the weekly and annual spiritual rites in the
kingdom. On every weekday of Ifa known as ojo-ose, a weekly offering of
kolanuts to the grand Ikin Ifa (Agbaluu) are observed and the king
himself have his own personal Ikin Ifa which will also be propitiated.
Ojugbona of the kingdom brings kola nuts to the Araba from the palace.
Both will then invoke and make prayers for the city's citizen and
occupants, monarch and chiefs.
On
the day of Itadogun (seventeenday official big week, as usual Aragba
and Ojugbona will split kolanut after invocation and prayers for the
king and all inhabitants of Osogbo. In any
case
of special message, it will relay to the king. This ceremony takes
place at the city's central Ifa Temple, Idinleke Temple. The meeting
commences after the Ifa rites and the dining of the Ifa priests have
been observed. The host priest provides the food and drinks and this
responsibility is bring rotated on hierarchy basis.
The
weekly service of songs and prayers are held at the temple where all
members of the Idenleke Temple assemble. The weekly sermons are taken
from Odu Ifa to educate and to teach moral to all and sundry. Arabe will
make prayers to all, state, local government, kings, chiefs and all
citizens. It is the Araba who lead the awo in annual Ifa celebration for
the king and all inhabitants of Osogbo.
The
annual ceremony begins with the clearing of the city's Ifa grove. A
place where initiation ceremony usually take place. Chiefs present their
kolanut and offerings are being made in the grove. They will all dance
with music and song to pay homage at Obaluaye shrine to prevent small
pox epidemic outbreak in Osogbo. From there they will proceed to
the Oyekomi house to have lunch while they will all procession with
music and dance to the kings palace. The king will be seated and the
Akoda Awo will represent Araba in making prayers for the king and the
whole city. The king will respond by making prayers for
everyone and he will also appreciate the efforts of the Ifa Priests and devotees for the proper maintenance and
smooth running of the city. All the Babalawos will dance fro the King's
palace to the Araba's house, the Araba will meet the Babalawos at the
entrance of his house, dance and pray for all. The Araba will also
provide the food and drinks.
The
following week, all Babalawo will assemble at the house of the Araba
who will lead them with music and dance to the present King's family
house where the grand IkinIfa will be officially cleansed and
reactivated. The Oloris (Queens),Iya Osun, Arugba (Osun Votary) will
dance from the King's family house to the Kings palace. Chief Priest
Ojugbona will invoke 16 odus and offering with be given to IkinIfa after
which they will all dance back to the palace this include all Ifa
priest and Queen (Oloris). Araba will lead the prayers for the king and
all inhabitants in the evening at King Family's house where there will

and all sundry, each odu with songs and dance til day break.
In

dance. The kingmakers, chiefs and king himself awaited the arrival of
Araba. There use to be special salutation hereby Araba led his chief to
greet chiefs for three times. Asunyere will lead by omoawos pay homage
at Ogun shrine and come back to Olowo Asingba a spot where Ogun
Ojaluwas buried.
The
kingmakers and chiefs will dance fromtheir own domain to the palace
awaiting for Araba and chiefs. Araba will ead all the Babalow to the
palace making prayers for the king, chiefs and whole inhabitants. Baale
Asnyere (The head of all Ifa poetry chanters) will now lead and control the chanting of Ifa poetry, music and dance. He invites everyone to come to
the
arena and sing and to dance. After the ritual and prayers
(bibo-ese-Iyere). Araba and all Babalawo will dance to the Araba's house
where food and drinks will be served.
The
ceremony will be concluded by Ifa diniation and sacrifice until next
year when the process will take its course all over again. Abytime there
is unrest, drought, famine or any natural or human-caused catastrophe
in the kingdom, Araba will be asked to assemble all other Babalawo to
divine and perform propitiation to calm the situation. Hence the saying
“Araba ni n b'Obaselu'” meaning Araba is the one that administrate the kingdom for the Monarch.
