PREFACE

MAY IFA, MY ELDERS, AND MY ANCESTORS FORGIVE ME IF I MISPEAK? IT IS MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU THE PRODUCT OF MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF WORK. THANKS TO THE KNOWLEDGE, DEDICATION, WRITING AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS OF YEYE FAYOMI, MY APETEBI, WE ARE ABLE TO PRESENT YOU WITH THIS LABOR OF LOVE FOR IFA. MAY YOUR HARD WORK NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE UNSUNG ANCESTORS, ELDERS, AND TEACHERS WHO HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO THE RELIGION AND CULTURE AND ARE SELDOM CELEBRATED. IN MEMORY OF HRH ADEFUNMI I, MY FIRST GODFATHER, AKODA MEDAHOCCI KOFI ZANU, FOR SHARING HIS PASSION FOR IFA, CHIEF AJAMU, FOR HIS INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO LIVE THIS WAY OF LIFE AND THOUGHT, AND BABA CLARO FOR HIS GUIDANCE FROM THE LUCCUMI PERSPECTIVE. MAY THEY ALL SIT IN ROYAL SPLENDER AT THE FOOT OF OLODUMARE.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SALUTE THE ONI, KING OF KINGS FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND PROVIDING THE FACE OF OUR FATHERS. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO SIT IN YOUR AUGUST PRESENCE. THE ARABA OF IFE, HEAD OF ALL THE BABALAWOS IN THE WORLD FOR HIS SUPPORT OF YEYE FAYOMI AND THE TEMPLE. ETERNAL GATITUDE AND LOYLATY TO THE AWISE AGBAYE OF IFE, DR. WANDE ABIMBOLA FOR ACCEPTING ME AS HIS STUDENT, AND TEACHING ME IFA. I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO MENTION MY FIRST TEACHER HRG IYA OYAMIWA, WHO INTRODUCED ME TO THIS WAY OF LIFE. IYAMAGBA ADEKOLA AND AGBONGBON IFATUNJI WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERD FOR INSTILLING A LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE RELIGION AND THE CULTURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE ABIMBOLA AND ANIMASHAN FAMILIES FOR ALL THEIR SUPPORT, AND THE MAFIA, IFANIYI, IFAKAYODA, IFAFEMI, IFAKUNLE, AYO SALAMI, DOUSUNMO, AND ALL OF THE BABA IFAS WHO WORKED MY INITIATION. IT IS MY HOPE THAT I CAN SHARE THE LOVE U SHOWED ME.
