CORONAVIRUS INCANTATION

The idea of the coronavirus as Èrè, may be found in the Ifa verse here. The Yoruba verse is above, with the English translation below:

Èrè délé Alárá

Ó kólé Alárá

Èrè délé Ajerò

Ó kólé Ajerò

5. Èrè délé Ọwáràngún Àgà

Ó jẹlé Ọwáràngún Àgà

Ìròhìn kàn bá Ọ̀rúnmìlá

Wípé Èrè ti dájọ́, ó ti móṣù

Láti wa je Ile oun Orunmila

10 Ǹjẹ́ báwo ni èrè ò ṣe ní wáá jẹ òun?

Ere raided Alara’s house

And pillaged it

Ere raided Ajero’s house

And consumed Ajero’s house

5. Ere raided Ọwáràngún Àgà’s house

And consumed Ọwáràngún Àgà’s house

News reached Ọ̀rúnmìlá’s house

That Ere has named a specific date

To consume his house

10. How could he prevent Ere from pillaging his house?

THE PYTHON AND ITS MEAL

ByMoyo Okediji

There is a revolution going on in Nigeria.

They called it, at first, #EndSARS.

Then it morphed into #endswat.

Like an arrow in flight, nobody knows where it is going.

The youth revolution in Nigeria has caught the entire country by surprise.

The youths of Nigeria are incredibly talented.

Nigerian youths have been handed nothing by my generation.

My generation is the generation of pythons.

My generation of pythons can swallow everything and anything up whole and alive.

But after a python swallows up its victim whole, it cannot move from the spot.

Life, when lived properly, is like playing in this giant park called Earth.

Find the thing you love to play with, and turn it into your work.

Then you can start playing.

I play with words, to enjoy the miracle of sound.

I play with images, to savor the magnificence of sight.

Playing is the best way to give thanks to the Creator of this giant park, and to fully enjoy the fruits and drinks that the park abundantly supplies.
