Alaafin, Ifa Divination and computer science The first lecture I attended at the university of ibadan was Ann inaugural by professor bola longe giving to loud ovation on december 22 1983, 40 years ago.. Ifa divination just a part of ifa is a dydtem like western Astrology and the Tarot and Chinese I ching . The catholics calendar might even be a system if divination. It might be ill advised to jettison ifa divination in selecting the next Alaafin as its been advocated in some quarters. Ifa has always been the way to select Alaafin so why must this time be different? Digital economy? A man who looses his culture has lost his soul.. this should be written in gold. It is not for nothing the Japanese are helping to preserve ifa for its mathematical properties.there were also black priests jn the Hugh temples of Japan long long ago. Could they have been ifa priests? You never know. ifa priests for the well being of Japan! Wither yoruba?
