THE CONCEPT OF AJOGUN(MALEVOLENCE SPIRITUAL FORCES) IN YORUBA SPIRITUALITY BY BABALAWO OBANIFA-Obanifa extreme documentaries

                                   

 In this work Babalawo Obanifa will explain in detail what is Ajogun (evil or malevolence forces in the universe), and different spiritual concept and solutions that can be used to overcome them from the concept of Africa spirituality. It is trite facts that the major or substantial source of human problem like: sickness, financial impediment, relationship problem, hatred, imprisonment, sudden death, etc. are cause by Ajogun (that is the evil or malevolence forces or spirits against man in the universe). They are the major evil force that scuttle and impede the means of happiness and success of human beings. All the distressed that any human being experience in this world are traceable to Ajogun(the malevolence force against man). Ajogun is simply refering to spiritual entity or force that is responsible for all kind of ruination or catastrophe that may befall on human life. Hence in  Yoruba Ifa  spirituality different mechanism has been device from time immemorial to counter and avert their menace. This is usually done through ebo (sacrifice) use of akose ifa (Ifa traditional spiritual preparation) and others all which  I  will explain in this work. A lot of  mistakes has been made by foreign religion devotee like Christianity and Islamism  to be precise. They erroneously believe that the Orisa are the Ajogun (malevolence forces against man) hence they regards traditional spirituality  as evil. In this work I will explain the difference between Ajogun(the malevolence forces against man)  and Irumonle /orisa(benevolence Divinities)

In Yoruba spirituality and cosmology which have it scriptural foundation in Ifa mythology. It is believed that the whole universe is divided into two :

(i) The physical or Natural Plane

(ii) The invisible or supernatural plane

It is believed that the physical or natural part among which planet earth is the central or major focus is occupying by human’s beings, animals, plant and animal. Both living things and non-living things in various kinds.

The invisible or the supernatural part of the universe which the major or central focus is heaven or other celestial realm, is believed to by inhabit by spiritual forces known as  Irumonle /orisa (benevolence spiritual forces)  and Ajogun (malevolence spiritual forces). In Ifa and orisa Africa spirituality and cosmology it is believed that there is  601 spiritual forces in the universe. These 601 spiritual is divided into two. 401 out of it are called Orisa/irumonle(benevolence spiritual forces)  they  inhabit or resides on the right hand side of the celestial realm. They are very kind spiritual force that bestow blessings, success, fortune, good luck, sounds health etc on human being. They are the one who grant human being their heart desire. Human being normally through the mediating power of ebo /etutu (sacrifice or ritual) to bring them bring them close to work for human to fulfil their desire. The remaining 200 spiritual force that inhabit or reside in the left side of celestial realm are regarded as Ajogun (malevolence forces) this are the forces that cause human being most of their life difficulty or problems as I pointed out earlier at the beginning of this work.

Their major emissaries against mankind are seven in number. They are :

1.Iku(Death): this is number one emissary of the Ajogun. It is only OLODUMARE that have absolute power over Iku. It do manifest against human being in terms of untimely death as a result of war, accident, hunger and sickness etc. Although through sacrifice and other spiritual mean premature and painful death can be avoided.

2.Arun (Diseases): Disease is the younger brother to Iku (death) He is the one that prepare the body of human beings for death. That is why you observe in most cases that one kind of sickness usually precede the death of such person. This aspect is normally take by sacrifice, traditional medicine and orthodox medicine has been doing wonder in that aspect as well today.

3.Ofo (loss):Ofo  loss is wastage or losing resources in an unaccountable and unjustly manner. This in many case may arise from arm robbery, fraud, farming or draught., spiritual spirits of setbacks and poverty.  In most cases it may be as results of the greedy nature of that person.

4.Oran (enormous problem or Trouble): this usually manifest itself against man kind in form of commission of crime or offence that will not give the person peace of mind.in most case it will manifest in form of doing things that is so heinous that the person will flee his property, wife family relative etc.

5.Epe (curse):Epe (curse) is manifest of negative evil affirmation by enemy on one life. It may be generation curse or otherwise. Whatever it is it can be counter with ritual sacrifice, and other remedy.

6.Ewon (captivity or imprisonment):this is one of the emissaries of Ajogun (malevolence forces) it is manifestation is usually in form of restrictions of movement of Mankind, which may either be in form of imprisonment in prison yard, slavery, become bedridden with disease or become paralyzed.

7.Ese (Affliction) this is usually manifest in various forms of suffering and illnesses.

Spiritual solution to Overcome Ajogun (malevolence forces again human being)

 Idafa :Through divination reading ifa may prescribed appropriate sacrifice to fix and overcome all kind of Ajogun

 Uses of akose ifa :there are different akose ifa preparation that can also be use to overcome Ajogun.

It is instructive that Aje (witches) and  Esu  does not belong to Ajogun although some time they share their characters. They move between the two world right and left. They are both good and bad as  a result they cannot be regarded as Ajogun.
