African Indigenous Religious Response to Global Debate on Homosexuality
(Department of Religions, History and Heritage Studies, 2018) Ogunbiyi, Olatunde Oyewole; Okewande, Oluwole Tewogboye
The global debate on homosexuality has been a major religious concern to different beliefs. This present work therefore acknowledges the abundance of literatures on global debates on homosexuality. Homosexuality, in the recent time, has taken different dimensions in several academic disciplines from religion, extending to politics and economic engagements. So far, the emphasis on the quantum of literature about homosexuality is either argument in favour of the phenomenon or against the idea. However, it is worthy of note, to say that, virtually believers of religions have attempted to contribute their quota to the argument or debate by taking an introspective look at the sacred writings of their respective religions. By way of filling a part of the lacuna in the literature, this study examines the sacred literature of the indigenous religion of the Yoruba people, especially, Ifa, in regards to homosexuality. It is noted that, Ifa, is the sacred genre for all the Yoruba divinities and the springboard on which the culture of the Yoruba people rests. The study as evinced from ija Literary Corpus established in strong terms, argument against the philosophical concept of homosexuality. The argument is generated from relevant stanzas of lJa corpus; which are hermeneutically explicated and analyzed. This becomes part of an epistemological consideration into the debate concerning the issue of homosexuality. The paper concludes that, although, there may be other positions on the issue of homosexuality, the sola scriptura of Yoruba traditional religious beliefs, is of the opinion that homosexuality is ungodly, unhealthy, immoral, unnatural and therefore forbidden; as such hampers development of individual, society and the nation at large. This is against the backdrop of Yoruba worldview that encourages the birth of children in perpetuity of the family. Furthermore, this study notes that while homosexual tendencies are abhorrent, homosexuals should not be rejected or stigmatized, rather they should be assisted to change their perceptions.

A Critique of Oral History and the Challenge of Orinality
(Department of History and International Studies, 2018) Okewande, Oluwole Tewogboye; Kehinde, Adefunke Adebayo
Till today, in an oral society like Yoruba, historical facts, the challenge of originality or the veracity of the information arising from lack of incomplete history ranging from conflict of ideas to absence of information and dates are inevitable. Therefore, this study addresses some historical challenges associated with the oral history. The study seeks to address some "historical distortions" in some Yoruba ancient histories relating to the Yoruba divinities, cities and individuals. Ifa, (the foundation of the Yoruba culture), oriki (panegyrics) and oriki' (totem) are major dependable sources of historical documents or materials used for analyses. The study demonstrates the inadequacies or weaknesses associated with these oral historical genres and their strengths. The work concludes that, where there are historical inadequacies, related historical texts are relevant historical documents useful as trace for the source historical text. It is found out that, this will go a long way of producing comprehensive historical account on event or issue under investigation.
Ifa Divination
(Department of Islamic Studies, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2017) Okewande, Oluwole Tewogboye
Relationships in a cultural dynamic like, religion, account for wider patterns of relationships among human societies. Understanding the cultural dynamics of a society is an imperative in to understanding their value system. In a predominantly Yoruba society, ifa is believed to be the springboard of Yoruba culture. Virtually every aspect of Yoruba life- religion and culture - links to /fa in one way or another. Previous studies have not related Ifa divination with some other • divination forms. This study seeks to fill this gap, using works that relies substantially on /fa literary texts, and Ifa literary corpus. Semiotics and prototype approaches are utilized for data analyses with relevant data samples carefully selected. By comparing Ifa divination symbols with Eerindlnlogun (sixteen cowries), obi dlda (cola-nut divination), Agbigba (system which employs a set of separate strings with four markers each) olokunlomi (water 'gazing), and yanrin tit? (sand cutting), it is observed that, Ifa divination features are employed in their system of divinations. The study found that, Ifa divination features influence some features of other divination types earlier. The shared features make Ifa to be the prototype of other forms of Yoruba divinations.
Ifa Symbolism and the Concept of Reincarnation
(The International Journal of African Catholicism, 2020) Okewande, Oluwole Tewogboye
Unarguably, Life after death has been a contentious subject of research among scholars and humanity. The belief on the concept of reincarnation, that, there is possibility for a dead person to come back to life has generated a lot of debates among Catholic denomination notwithstanding that, the concept of reincarnation has been criticised, mostly on the basis that, it does not give consideration of eternal hope to Christians. Ifa is, believed to be the foundation of Yoruba culture. This study is aimed at investigating the concept of reincarnation from the perspective of Ifa theology as insights to the understanding of the concept of reincarnation; as many scholars did not make use of any religious symbol, especially Ifa, to substantiate their positions. The study adopts semiotics, which is a science of signs; because, symbolism is basic of Ifa divination, It is found out that, Ifa epistles testify to the existence of the concept of reincarnation and provide the time and cycle of occurrence of reincarnation. Similarly, the misconception about reincarnation by some Christian faithful, especially Catholics, as being against eternity is erroneous and misleading. This study concludes that, reincarnation as supported by divinations from the biblical and Ifa is a concept ordained by God as a means of actualising God's purpose for mankind.

Natural and Supernatural Human Beings in African Philosophy
(Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, 2019) Okewande, Oluwole Tewogboye
Ifa is believed to be the foundation of Yoruba culture. Therefore, every aspect of Yoruba life, including religion and philosophy has one link or another with Ifa. Previous studies have not related the philosophy around Odu (a code of Ifa communication) in Ifa to Odu in lbeji. This study is set to fill this gap. The current study relies substantially on Yoruba texts, Ifa corpus, panegyrics and incantations. Semiotics, which is the science of signs, is adopted as, symbolism underlies lfa divination system. The findings have revealed that Odu and hermeneutics codes of Ifa and lbeji are related. It is also revealed that, there is synergy between the philosophy in Odu-Ifa and Odu in Ibeji. Consequently, the philosophy behind the birth of Odu is related to the Yoruba philosophy on the birth of Ibeji. The study concludes that, the Yoruba philosophy behind lbeji is derived from Ifa. The study suggests one of the possibilities of the Yoruba producing the highest twinning rate around the globe.
