" THESE GODS DO NOT TAKE CHEAT ! I CALL THEM PURITY" -- OLORI AWENI AKINTONDE.
Baale of Ijaiye/ Ojokoro community in Lagos state High Chief Akinwale Olufemi Aremu Akintonde enlightened Insightmagonline more on what ISESE entails.
Though, still believe it has to do with appeasing to Yoruba gods and goddess with any form of sacrifice which do not involve human being rather than animals like goats, pigs, pigeon, fowls, and the likes.
High Chief Akintonde digresses a bit by saying; ISESE is an inheritance from Yoruba ancestors that has to do with ones destiny!
Baale sited an act of making enquiry of a newly born child future from whichever god the family is worshipping , such child will be nutured from cradle to adulthood to fullfil his or her destiny in whatever profession, be it marriage or taboo of dos and donts such child will definitely be successful in life.
Chief Akintonde also believe ISESE is an act of curbing immorality among women especially married ones in those days when a new born baby will be thrown inside a river to know if such child is not a bastard.
Baale butresses further that before the advent of churches and mosques, there are ways The Yoruba speak to the gods and they were at peace. Though civilization has made some Yoruba to forget where their destiny is attached to.
Olori Temitope Aweni Akintonde also give her view on what ISESE meant. Olori in her brief Interview believe is a form of merry making among the Traditionalist just has Christmas and Eldfitri is celebrated among Moslems and Chritains is not all about rituals and sacrificing. Olori Akintonde made it known to Insightmagonline that Yoruba gods and goddesses are PURE, " These gods Obatala, Ogun , Osun , Egungun do not take CHEAT ! If anyone swear with these gods and goddess and do other wise? Such person will be dealt with severally .
Olori Aweni Akintonde then advices Nigerians especially The Yorubas to go back to their roots! She said this in Yoruba language and I qoute : "Odo to ba gbagbe orisun re, a gbe" for any river that forget it source drys up! "
Baale Akintonde also rounded up the interview by appealing to Nigerians especially The Yorubas to come back to their roots.
Though , chief is delighted that Yorubas gets more understanding of ISESE better now than how it use to be in the past . High Chief Akintonde said it in Yoruba that " Riru ebo nii gbeni, Airu ebo kii gbeniyan" which literally mean " For anyone to make head way, you have to give unto Cesear what belong to Ceaser "
Baale Ijaiye/Ojokoro appreciated some Yoruba state Governors for declaring August 20 as holiday for The Traditional Religion . Chief then appeal to other Yoruba speaking state Governors to do same since the Islamic and Chritainity Religions has holidays, why not the Traditionalist ? " For what is good for the Goose is also good for the Gander' Baale Akintonde concluded
