“The Àjé

  “The Àjé (Iyami) represents the mystical powers of the woman in her most dangerous form. The dance of the GELEDE is the expression of the guilty conscience of men, stemming from a time when the matriarchic society became patriarchy. The great mystic power of the woman, originally used in a productive way for the working of the soil, etc., can be transformed into a weapon.

Baloguns are people that can lead them to war. Yorubas have no respect for cowards.  The third is integrity, someone with integrity is a person of their words.  If you have all the wealth in the world but lack integrity, it means nothing. Integrity is combined with iwa- character which the Yoruba regard as omoluabi. The fourth is having
