Who is Èṣù ?

Èṣù is not a ghost or falling angel, but an important Òrìṣà in Yorùbá ancient religion known as Ìṣẹ̀ṣe. He is an Irúnmọlẹ̀. He is an excellent Administrator of justice and Police Officer in the pantheon of Deities who protects towns and villages.... and Awos against evil machinations. And it must be noted that, Èṣù always favours those that performed the necessary and or appropriate ẹbọ and other forms of rituals; "ẹni tó bá ba rúbọ l'Èṣù ń gbè"....

Sàngó

According to the sacred Yorùbá Indigenous Religion known as “Èsìn Òrìsà" is believe that there are two (2) Sàngó .

The 1st Sàngó (Òrìsà ) came from, Ìkòlé Òrun during the time of Ìgbà Ìwásè (Beginning of the World) and he was known as Ayílégbé-Òrun. The 2nd Sàngó was a devotee of the 1st Sàngó. Hence, the 1st Sàngó predated the 2nd Sàngó , known as Tèllà-òkò, the 3rd Alaafin.

The sum of my submission was, “The Yoruba do not have the word ‘homosexual’ in their vocabulary and by this reasoning, homosexuality is alien to the Yoruba nature and origin.”

Someone shouted, “Did the Yoruba have a word for television? Words are created with new things.
