A renowned Ifa Priest and Araba of Osogbo, Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon, has called all Yorubas to be more alert and protect themselves in a traditional means.

The popular Ifa priest said there is a need for Yorubas to be more alert and protect themselves traditionally not just only to go to church and mosque for prayer.

He noted this during the 2021 Osun Osogbo festival grand finale on Friday at the Osun groove.

This year was witness by thousands of devotees across the world in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic that ravages globally.

Speaking further, Elebuibon said Yobubas should Discover themselves and start to uphold tradition and culture God gave them for maximum security.

“Yoruba people should discover ourselves. We must uphold tradition and culture which Eledumare gave to us, Osun is part of our culture and I encourage all other Yoruba land to awaken to revive their culture and festival to be able to communicate with our ancestors, Eledumare and all our divinity for maximum protection against all evil.

“We need to be more alert and protect ourselves traditionally not just only to go to church and mosque for prayer, we need to use our traditional means to protect ourselves,” he concluded.
