Orisa Lifestyle & the Semitic Religions

Ifa goes on to describe the time when Yoruba people began to depart from the original teachings and practices of their ancestors:

 

Labirinkiti pi Labirinkiti pi

So does Labirinkiti pi

Cast divination for uncountable number of Muslim faithfuls

On the day they renounced their faith in Ifá

A group of uncountable Muslims had renounced their

faith in Ifá

‘You all said you would not worship me again’,

Ifá said ‘That is all right’

‘You do touch your head with the ground only once for me’

‘But you will now touch it with the ground

uncountable number of times’

‘And also your buttocks’

‘We are worshiping the same God’

‘No one can prove he knows the secrets of God

more than the other’

Ifá says he is not angry

Labirinkiti pi Labirinkiti pi Labirinkiti pi

Cast divination for uncountable Muslim faithfuls

On the day they renounced their faith in Ifá

It is Ifá you would be worshiping

‘Both with your head and buttocks,

you will worship me’, Ifá said

We are worshiping you

Labirinkiti pi Labirinkiti pi Labirinkiti pi

Uncountable Muslim faithfuls

Didn’t you say you will not worship Ifá again?
