IJAKUMO

 IJAKUMO

The Yoruba culture is rich in its Heritage,

There are various diety accustomed to this culture,

Many of these diety are spirits,

They are mostly nocturnal beings,

Although few roam during the day,

It is mostly believed evil spirits roams on a sunny day,

While both good and bad spirits roam at night,

The spirit world is a parallel to what we have in the spiritual world they believe,

This means whatever happens in the physical had been played out in the spirit world,

95% of the Yoruba indigenous people are mostly spiritual,

65% of this irrespective of the western religion are occultic/spiritualist,

The spirituality of a Yoruba indigene is imbibed in Igba irumole(200 dieties) and more,

It is of course worthy to note that the Yoruba believe the incarnation of the deities upon them,

Few of those incarnated by the deities are regarded as gods,

These give them superiority above ordinary indigenes,

These in terms of spirituality are term Alpha Individuals.

Alpha Males are different from Beta Males.

In ranking, if you are an Alpha Male, you are not to expose your Alpha as a means of Superiority on Beta Males,

This is because one of the very best attributes of the Yoruba is Courtesy,

An Alpha Male is so respected and could lose his respect if he is loud and can be demoted to Beta Male.

A well-courteous individual will be an 'Omo-ti-olu-iwa-bi' shortened as 'omoluaabi',

Loosely translated as 'A child begotten by the Lord of good character,

Ijakumo is an animal,

An animal that is fierce in the wild,

Most times they walk in park,

They have marked territory where they hunt for food,

Another Ijakumo may not have the audacity to invade my territory

Food may cause problems in the park as they increase,

When foods are scarce, Ijakumo might devour old, weak, and dead ijakumo,   

But this happens in rare and extreme cases,

Ijakumo is a nocturnal animal,

Yoruba adage says;

Ijakumo ki i rin de osan,

Eni a bii re kan kii rin de oru

Loosely Translated;

A Wolve does not hunt by day,

A well-behaved individual does not walk aimlessly at night
