Google originated from the ‘Ifa’
also known as the oracle, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, has revealed.
NAN reports that the traditional
leader said, on Wednesday, that without ‘Ifa’, Google would not have been
created.
Ogunwusi said that ‘Ifa’ as a
form divination, was all about sourcing for information and knowledge through
traditional consultation.
The traditional ruler said that
Google could be regarded as the modern way of sourcing for past information and
what was likely to happen in the future too.
He said that ‘Ifa’ originated
several thousands of years ago and is seen as the voice of the almighty God
referred to as ” Orisa Oke” which is supreme to other lesser gods.
“Without ‘Ifa’, there could never
have been google, so it is the modern-day version of ‘Ifa’ . ‘Ifa’ is all about
information, getting knowledge from the Almighty God.
Whenever you search the google for information or
knowledge, you are consulting ‘Ifa’; and without ‘Ifa’, there would not have
been google.”
He said that ‘Ifa’ was still
relevant in contemporary time, saying that was why people were still consulting
the oracle for information and solutions to their problems.
Ogunwusi explained that if the
modern day youths and the educated wanted to know the date of any important
event, they would search for it from Google.
‘That is part of the functions
that Ifa’ does for its believers and followers; that is the truth but it may
sound strange,” he said.
