Look for something else within your religion to praise your God with - Olu Adegoke
Ela is evidently one of the many attributive names by which Ifa is described, and a very principal one among them. It is a contraction of the term "Orun mila."
He is sometimes described in songs of praises and in other speeches as "Ela omo Osin" Ela the child of "Osin" (the Ruler); sometimes as "Ela omo Oyigi (Oyigiyigi) Ota omi" Ela the offspring of a stone, i.e., the hard stone from the bed of a spring of water (an emblem of great strength). and regard themselves free in consequence from death, or protected against it, and say also when they utter the above praise, "Awa di Oyigiyigi, a ki o ku mo," "We are ourselves. become Oyigiyigi, that is the stone which gave birth to Ela, and will no longer die." These were duly acknowledged by the Rt. Rev. James Johnson.
Whenever you refer to Jehovah as Oyigiyigi, you are using the Ifa praise term for Orunmila. There are so many mumbled phrases out there. Jehovah is not Oyigiyigi, Ela is. Look for something else within your religion to praise your God with.
