TRUE TALKS WITH OFAE OFAE on Sunday, November 16, 2014 at 6: pm EST with our special guest Iya Ayaba OchaBi Awodele-Ifaseye to discuss “AMERICAN IFA: Finally Recognized”.
In the wake of the recent turmoil that have been coming out of Nigerian and Lukumi Ifa/Orisa communities, initiates in the diaspora have been caught in the middle and feeling the pressure from both faiths on either end. What the initiates, particularly AFRICAN AMERICANS are now asking is; WHAT IS OUR IDENTITY? The Yoruba are saying, we can initiate you but “you will never be Yoruba” and the Cubans are saying they will train you only if you speak Spanish and pledge allegiance to them only. So, WHY IS AMERICAN IFA HERE?
- What is the problem?
- What is the key to the core of the problem?
- Can we define the problem to deleted or minimize causes(s) that created the problem?
- What is the final analysis about the problem?
- What method(s) will we use to find the correct solution?
- What are other challenges will we meet to bring change(s) in the diaspora?
- How will we implement the solution to a mass of people or to a segment of people?
