AJÉ OLÓKÙN, AL-JINN AND MONEY RITUAL

 AJÉ OLÓKÙN, AL-JINN AND MONEY RITUAL


The òrìṣà of wealth in Yorùbá land is linked with water for a good reason. You can hardly do something economic without the use of water. Water is the life blood of commerce. Without it, farmers would not grow crops. Dyers will not make cloth, etc. 

You also seal a transaction by calling her name as witness to your truthfulness about the price. Once you do this, the other party believes you and the transaction may take place. That is the extent to which people hold Aje in high esteem. 

Ajé is also used synonymously with money in Yorùbá land. You may hear a Yorùbá man or woman shout "Ajé ooo" upon seeing a huge money. This is because the most physical expression of this Òrìṣà is money. 

All these explanations are necessary because some Arabic language speakers and Arab religion adherents have started spreading lies about Òrìṣà Ajé.

👆Ajé will not give you money if you don't work or do any business.

✌️Ajé is not the òrìṣà of money ritualists. This is important because some Nollywood portray her as the patron devil bringing money to ritualists.

🖖Money ritual is actually an alien belief to the Yoruba, it came with those who believe in àlùjọ̀nú. Al-jinn is said to feast on dried bones or rotten flesh of dead humans. The Wikipedia entry on Jinn puts it this way:

"The Jinn are also mentioned in collections of canonical hadiths. According to the reports of the hadiths, the jinn eat like humans, but instead of fresh food, they prefer rotten flesh and bones. Another hadith advises to close doors and keep children close at night for the jinn go around and snatch things away."

It is not a stretch of logic to say that some mullahs started giving al-jinn what they like to eat in order to send them on errand to go and snatch another person's properties. After all, a particular "Prophet" went to their realm to preach to them. Thus they have a section of their scripture dedicated to these rotten-flesh eating spirits and a prayer house in their name. 

If you don't believe, check their scriptures. Also, go to police and check the statistics of those who have been caught with human parts. You will be surprised by their names.

Please don't mutilate the identity of our AJÉ with your snatcher-snatcher al-jinn.

Mayegun

Iya ni Wura

  Iya Ni Wura  In the 1800s Books and travelers’ accounts described Yorùba women as powerful traders, warriors, priestesses, mothers and political voices. They held down families, towns and trade networks.  Finance & Economy – Yoruba Women dominated local markets, from kola nuts to textiles. Some became wealthy merchants, controlling trade routes that linked the Yoruba to coastal ports. Spiritual Authority – As priestesses of Òrìṣà like Ọṣun, Yemoja, and Ọya, women carried immense influence in guiding communities through rituals and festivals. Family & Society – A Yoruba woman was the backbone of the extended family system. She was both nurturer and strategist, raising children, managing farms, and ensuring survival during wars and displacements of the 1800s. Resilience in Crisis – During wars and slave raids, women organised escapes, rebuilt settlements and town as well as negotiating peace in some regions. European visitors often wrote with surprise about how in...

Owe ni Yoruba

There is a popular Yoruba proverb which says:  A kìí je míjì l'ábà Àlàdé We do not eat two things at Àlàdé's compound. Let me tell you the full story behind this proverb so you will know when to use such proverb.  The story is from sacred Odu Ifa Ogbe Ofun and the verse goes thus:  A s'ore ìsetán níí jé méè l'óríyìn Adífá fún Àlàdé oníwàtá Tí ń lo rèé dá'ko èbá ònàn Ebo wón ní ó se Half good deeds doesn't makes one to be appreciated  These were Ifa declarations to Àlàdé oníwàtá  When going to farm at the road side.  He was advised to offer ebo. Àlàdé decided that he wants to be doing good to people so that everyone can always praise him for his good deeds now and after he's no more.  He decided to plant Yam at the road side and he made this yam free for those who are starving. He also provided a very big bowl of water beside it. If you passed by his farm hungry or thirsty, you've got no worries. But he had a rule and a popular saying which was:  A...

Why a union?

In any union, first you would have after careful consideration made a choice to form a union. Perhaps the people believe they would be better together. Perhaps there were economic benefits. Perhaps it was for security reasons. The point is one becomes part of a union to gain something. In the case of the Yoruba in Colonial enterprise Nigeria, they did not agree to be in a union, instead the British hijacked their sovereignty to form their trading post. They gain no economic benefits. They gain no security, in fact Yorubaland has become more insecure.  The Yoruba are losing their culture, their traditions, their language, their resources and others are trying to steal their land.  The Yoruba do not believe they are better together and in fact consider it a union of death. Work will continue to extricate the Yoruba  until  Nigeria is buried and becomes history. #Yorubanation
