USA Africa Dialogue Series - The next Alaafin and Ifa 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?
