Aboru Aboye,
The Araba Agbaye has released the following statement:
I Araba Aworeni Awoyemi Adisa do not permit the unauthorized use of my name, image, or words to be used. Anything having to do with my name must be authorized by me especially when used to gain notoriety or money by the user.
It has come to the Araba Agbaye’s attention via the World Wide Web or internet that his name is being used as a means to gain money and notoriety. The Araba Agbaye has neither divined, given ebo instructions or authorized this to be done on his behalf in Venezuela. The advertisement of these services is false and is being done without his authorization.
Ake ko kumo enikokan
Ika kumo eniyan
Bi eniyan ba yo leda
ohun gangan a ma yo won se
A difa fun etutu ti se omo
Ikofa orunmila ni ojo to ba ni aya sun
Iro ti lo
Otito ti de o

Congratulations!
Baba Araba, should have sent this message last time, as hundreds of people have been swindled in Venezuela by a person who used the name of Ile-Ife and Baba Araba, with the sole purpose of gaining money and prestige without the slightest practical knowledge of the Yoruba.
Do not let this person in Venezuela, continue to use your name to deceive others and gain prestige and money.
Àború Àboyè O!

Aboru, Aboye, Abosese.
unfortunately, there are a lot of people from Venezuela, and mostly from Caracas, that has been manipulated under a false divine Ifa announcement supposedly coming from Araba Agbaye Aworeni Awoyemí Adisa.Hundreds of incautious Venezuelan traditional Ifa followers have been dealing with a misfortune odu recently checked out by Araba Agbaye to Venezuelan traditional Ifa religious from Egbe Orisa Oko. BTW, I would really like to make a main request to Baba Araba. As far as i understand, Araba Agbaye is a divine Ifa title that means “The Great Spiritual Ifa Guidance to our planet earth” He is suppose to be an Ifa guide to every traditional ifa follower on this whole world. Araba Agbaye is NOT an exclusive chief Ifa practitioner available to one related “chief” who claims to have Baba araba’s blessing to himself only. In my humble opinion, Baba Araba is a guide to all traditional Ifa followers from Venezuela, even to those religious currently away from Egbe Orisa Oko.
I would like to read Baba Araba AGBAYE’ statement regarding to this matter i have already pointed out.
I’m grateful for you kindly attention.
Respectfully to Baba araba Agbaye

Aboru Aboye,
Thank you for writing and commenting on this very important subject. This post is not solely directed at the situation in Venezuela where a false divination and false ebo is being perpetrated in the name of the Araba Agbaye, but it is directly at all those that use the name of the Araba online and in their Iles without first receiving permission. The Araba Agbaye is the representative of Orunmila on earth and is the spiritual leader of all babalawos. He is not exclusive to any one chief that has received a title from Ile-Ife. He is available to any Ifa follower that is in need. This is one of the reasons for the establishment of this website, to help dispel rumors, falsehoods, and to provide truth and correct information to all that seek it, not just those that make the journey to Ile-Ife, the Source.
Again we appreciate you for joining in the discussion and we pray for Ifa to guide and protect you on your journey.
Ase o,
Babalawo Owolabi Aworeni

This explanation is very important for people not being cheated.
In Brazil there is a site that speaks on behalf of Baba Araba agbaye.
We must be vigilant.

Araba, la verdad es una necesidad tener unas palabras con usted, hace muy poco que estoy en religion, en mi pais es muy distinto ya que se basa en la parte brasilera yo soy Argentina , y tengo muchas dudas nunca encaje en ningun lado, busque la verdad, cultue a los orisa sin saberlo, cuando m e decian q lo haga de tal manera yo me dedicaba a mi Ori, aca no es comun, no tengo imagenes no las quise nunca, se enojaron conmigo y quede sola, se q aca es distinto por la mezcla q hubo, la union de religiones en america tras tanto esclavismo. eso lo entiendo,solo a manera de consulta quiero q me de los nombres de sus hijos en Argentina ya q encontre un lugar y su nombre fue expuesto, estoy esperando la llegada de mi iya para mi 1er obligacion. Confio en una respuesta pronta. No quiero equivocarme mas. Desde ya muy agradecida, no se como saludarlo en yoruba pido disculpas

Salutations and Benidcon Orunmila ‘s Craft!
Ika Fun and Ogunda Sa come to mind in this , from my point of view as a child of Obatala.
Be that as it may…..collectively WE seem to have to get the “power’s that be” to ensure, and regulate the world wide webs internet activities.
For I also have been extrapulated, exploited, cyber -stalked, and plundered…..even the lowest of the low……in term s of ” authoritative”
pontification and profliferation of my “WORDS” and Arts n Craft.
ITs been my mere observation…..
that the wheels of Orisa ( so to speak in metaphor ) grind slowly….very slowly……….BUT they do
indeed pulverize like herbs in a
mortar n pestal.
My ” speciality de maison” ( there’s alot of French up here in Toronto !!)
as an Ex Chef, and a musician………one graduated from the school of hard knocks………is the
OPON principle of your ‘table de IFA’ is circular.
Therefore i have witnessed that everytime and anyone whom takes
advantage, argues the point, minimizes ika fun, and or ogunda sa…..
will eventually findthemselves in the
hands of Eshu ODARA.
Thats that.
In all due peace, this is a wonderful outa sight site!
I will let my pandrio namely Oshungurere in south bronx nyc at my household of Orisa/Ifa that ive found a nice sight herein.
Too bad some ppl dont use their ears, and nose eh!!!!!
May Eshu and Obatala add they blessings , and stand for the
witness unto all of our comings and goings…..
namely Orunmila Eleri Ipin.

Amigo Luis Antonio Reyes:
Quizá ud considere que no soy yo la persona indicada para responder su inquietud hacerca Oriki y de comer Iyesorun, no obstante responderé su pregunta; yo estoy iniciada por uno de los hijos de Baba Araba, he estado en Ilé-Ife y me hospedo en la casa del Araba Agbayé, cualquiera de los miembros de la familia Aworeni de Nigeria puede darle fé de lo que aqui le escribo; en Ilé-Ife y en ninguno de los pueblos que conozco de Nigeria hacen lo que los miembros del Egbe Orisaoko llaman ORIKI, los rezos a ifá se hacen antes de levantarse de la cama, el iyerosun no se come en nigeria y la palabra oriki significa Nombre de Alabanza, la palabra Rezo en yorùbá es IWURE. Por otro lado, el dueño del Egbe Orisaoko no tiene 20 ni mucho menos 27 años en la tradición afrocubana, los conozco desde hace muchos años y conozco a sus padrinos de osha e ifá, ni él ni su esposa llegan a tener 14 años de iniciados en la santeria, así que si eso es lo que el dice, en eso también les miente. Esta semana llega a Venezuela un Babalawo Nigeriano, el cual dará conferencias en Caracas, también él está al tanto de las cosas mal hechas que hace el citado egbé, le recomiendo que vaya a las conferencias y que realice los talleres de cultura yorubá que se dictarán. La información la encontrará en Face Book. Ud puede ubicarme a mi en el face book también con el mismo nombre que aparezco aqui, si yo puedo ayudarlo en algo, no dude en contactarme.
Odabo.

Today Saturday 19 June 2010 I went to a birds market in Lake Wales in Florida
I run into a Cuban Awo was surprised to hear that this young Awo had been told that Wande Abimbola was the Araba Agbaye Ile Ife I had to explained to him who our real great Father is. I was very careful as our Baba Wande Abimbola is very highly respected here in the United States of America.
The reason why I am bringing this matter to your attention is because the world needs to know more about the true system and rankings based in our Mother Yoruba Land. The interest of our African descends is quickly becoming followed by the young generation of Ifa and Orisa in the USA.

Hey amazing blog, I noticed your web web site when doing some research on how to develop my web log. I was just now enquiring what spam software you use for comments mainly because I get tons on my web page.

Congratulations, it is very important to warn the world about false Babalawos who use the name of others in order to make money. In Brazil there are many.
I’ve been fooled by several.
This should not happen
July 24th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
I would like to congratulate my dear father Baba Araba for the lain message left by this particular. It’s great that everyone knows, especially here in South America that there are many who say Babalawos but in fact are Babalariwos. The knowledge and study are important. Titles, only the true and not those achieved by money. Ifa has to be magnified and respected and the name of its chief representative Baba Araba too. To followers of Ifa, be careful and try to follow the truth of Ifa and those who actually preach and follow the truth.

I have been reading this discussion about the theme of egbe orisa oko in Venezuela. The financial interest is a matter of nowadays in every human activity. We cannot allow anybody to demostrate cupidity in the Great tradition of Ifa Orisa.
Baba I support you in the defending of your name and tradition. I have been living five years in Caracas and i have done my first steps as a Olorisa in this country. But i have seen every types of heresy in the name of Ifa. Please conqueer this land to educate it ! The spiritual potencial is infinite overthere because many people have thrue faith in Ifa, but their mind are spoiled by such wrong practionneers, even if they come from the most highly lineage !
I am a French awo keke initiated in the Babalola family in Ilobuu.

certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth then again I’ll surely come again again.
