The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, yesterday Wednesday April 10th at a function said that Google originated from ‘Ifa’ which is also called the oracle in Yoruba land.
According to him, without ‘Ifa’, the creation of Google will not be. He noted that ‘Ifa’ is a form of divination which is all about sourcing for information and knowledge through traditional consultation. He then stated that Google is regarded as the modern way of sourcing for past information and future occurrence.
He said: ‘Ifa’ which originated several thousands of years ago and is seen as the voice of the almighty God referred to as ” Orisa Oke”, a supreme being above other lesser gods. Without ‘Ifa’, there could never have been google, so it is the modern-day version of ‘Ifa’. ‘Ifa’ is all about information, getting knowledge from the Almighty God. Whenever you search google for information or knowledge, you are consulting ‘Ifa’ and without ‘Ifa’, there would not have been google”
