Please drop a live time for the ori prayers! It's been difficult to find good content on ori. Thank you for everything that you do

[@TheNaijaZen]

You are welcome! Look out for it.

Mo dupe o. Due to my direct ancestral heritage, I'm a devotee of Odinani Ndi Igbo. However, I resonate with virtually all Afrocentric spiritual traditions, including Isese/Ifa as they all have the same foundational roots, values and principles.

[@TheNaijaZen]

So true, they do have the same values and principles. If only more of our people could see that and stop with all the tribalism. I will be inviting Odinani Igbo experts to this platform.

[@narimembere]

@@TheNaijaZen That would be awesome.

[@zenlife4736]

[@anthonycarry1404]

This was excellent, looking forward to hearing more.

[@leophoenix1452]

😊 glad i found you... Una no plenty and we need to all grow and let these truth be in abundance so that we can subjugate the widespread mainstream influence of religion andnits poison in africa...

[@goddess1del128]

Good day! Have always known of the Orishas, but was weary because of not knowing how to learn more of them. I am truly grateful to you because I have no idea of my Ori and don't want to disrespect the Orishas knowingly. I have subscribed and truly look forward to developing my Ori.

[@TheNaijaZen]

You are very welcome. Glad to have you here.

[@DerrickBradshaw-u5h]

Thanks for this video, never knew of this type of service very enlighten it's glad to know some one is willing to impart so much wisdom in a nut shell I'm an awaken being and willing to learn more for I' m neither body or even the mind.

[@HealingMindsWhileHealingMines]

Greetings, Thank you for this video. I would love to learn more about connecting to my Ori. Can you talk more about the practice of libation. Thank you

[@TheBlujay]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm looking forward to your videos on proper libation practice and on daily connection rituals for Ori. If you're moved to do so, I'd like to learn more about the Odu (specifically those having to do with Olokun). I'm hoping you might have advice or insight on legitimate resources that a new student can use to learn more.

[@nanone6449]

THANK YOU!

[@madamlavee]

Thank you for this video! I would love for you to do a video or live about ORI. 🙂 I have my notifications on!

[@TheNaijaZen]

You are welcome and noted! I am yet to do a live on KZbin but Ori ALWAYS comes up on my lives. We will make it happen on YT.

[@madamlavee]

@@TheNaijaZen I’m following you on Instagram as well because I don’t want to miss out!😊

[@TheNaijaZen]

​@@madamlaveeAppreciate you

[@rositascarborough5751]

New subscriber! Keep going King!!! Indeed Africans in the Diaspora are on this journey ESPECIALLY women!!! I give thanks for the revival that dare I say is being fueled by the Diaspora because they are more activated and aware of decolonizing. Curious about your thoughts on what is happening in Benin under their President Patrice Talon who is an unapologetic Vodun practitioner.

[@TheNaijaZen]

@@rositascarborough5751 Thanks. There is definitely a reawakening. Not just in the diaspora, but on the continent. Not sure what you are referring to re Benin. The attempted coup drama? I don't really voice public opinions about situations I am not very familiar with. A large percentage of people in Benin are proudly vodun practitioners, as they should be.

[@rositascarborough5751]

Happy to oblige. Benin is undergoing a spiritual renaissance that is unprecedented on the continent. What I mean, Vodun has now been elevated to a political, economic and cultural strategy for the regime of Patrice Talon. They just passed a citizenship law for Diasporans….even surpassing Ghana in the breadth of this new policy. They are sinking $ 250 million in to renovating all their cultural institutions. The only countries that have invested that sort of money is Egypt and Morocco where cultural touridm id such a cornerstone of their economy. Finally Ouidah is being transformed with a central focus around the foundation of Vodun. Vodun Days has moved beyond a public holiday to a full blown national festival and celebration backed fully by the national government. Every body who has visited Benin talks of the transformation in that country that is very visible. Last but not least Patrica Talon considers himself a protege of Paul Kagame and is following a very Rwandan development model.

[@mallyb.mindset1371]

I’m full of gratitude for this information.. I’ve been doing plenty of Ori and ancestor veneration work to date as well as I’ve received my Egbe.. my current dilemma is do I need to cut my locs to fully receive Isefa or Itefa?.. my spirit is not calling for that at all 😢

[@TheNaijaZen]

You do not need to cut off your locs for Isefa, but you need to for Itefa. Are you sure it is "your spirit" not calling for that? In this tradition, that would be your Ori and why would your Ori get in the way of your greatest good? If you have done divination and been advised to do Isefa or Itefa, this "spirit" might simply be vanity or the inability to let go/attachment. Your Ori can help with that.

[@jeffreyd700]

Hi, can you do videos on Ori work?

[@Iya-Yah]

Modupe Baba! Please do a video about Ori.

[@TheNaijaZen]

I will do that

[@christinemuga5716]

[@larazubair1684]

Thank you very much. I'm new here, but I am enlightened. Please do a special video(not a live, cause not everyone might be chanced for a live) on Ori, and Liberation. 222

[@TheNaijaZen]

You got it. Libation video drops on Wednesday

[@jayajaya788]

I would like to know if you can do a video on how to do Libation properly

[@TheNaijaZen]

It's coming.

[@MosesSandra-hk4de]

Thanks so much sir. But sir is it possible to do a video on ori .

[@TheNaijaZen]

Definitely possible and coming

[@niccolasgadsden6366]

Is it incorrect to pour libation into house plants?

[@TheNaijaZen]

@@niccolasgadsden6366 I will be discussing that in the video dropping on Wednesday. Incorrect isn't the word I would use. Set your notifications. 👍🏾
