Chief Ifalere Ifagbenro Adeifa, Nigerian Justice of Peace, Mogaji Agbo Ile Oso Adegbenro of Oluokun Compound in Ibadan, and the Chairman for Masquarades in Oyo State, also a member of Omo Ajorosun Club Ibadan recently in our interview with him about Isese day, held on the 20th of August, 2023 shed more light on it, as an epoch making event, to mark the importance of creation and origin of humanity in nature.
The traditional Chief further stressed that the celebration of Isese portrays the essence of giving reverence to God, for His creation in all aspects, as of natural manifestation and the expression of the uniqueness in man's development and purposeful evolvement, in myriad potentials and qualities.
Chief Ifalere Ifagbenro Adeifa so also expressed as thus, that regards the destiny by which a man came to the earth, considering the conjugal relationship between the parents, could be described as of varied passages, which such person derived his natural endowment and biological inheritance, and thus these are essentially worthy of note, respect and reference, for his developmental growth, to assuage his earthly challenges and problems in life.
Hence, these passages and origin of his emergence to the earth, came first, as priority and necessity of his creation in nature, for divination sake.
In accordance, this as privy to his creation and developmental growth, contribute a lot to his experience, understanding and knowledge of his environment and life.
However, the erudite Ifa scholar, Chief Ifagbenro still reiterated that naturally there are some custodians of power; mystical, social and magical, who as well could influence the destiny of a man, therefore, they too occupy some spiritual but territorial expanse, as arranged by God to be the part of His natural composition in creation.
Meanwhile, here Chief Ifalere clarified that there are difference to such entity, in accordance to environments, tribes, clans, races, nationalities, which could be identified with each tradition and culture, in wholeness of their status quo (es)
He said Isese was accounted to be the supreme point of ritualistic consideration and consultation about a man's destiny and developmental growth.
Nevertheless, he advised to denounce a misgiving or misconception about Isese as a gory way of shedding humans blood for sacrifice of any kind, but rather explained well that it is a sheer way of life, to communicate with God directly, and naturally, in order to appease Him, to heed to one's supplication, while in actual fact, the efficacy of these prayers demands one to abide and imbibe the spirit of love, peace, harmony, stability in ones environment, and so also relate well with other fellow human beings, in upholdment of utmost expression of justice, fairness, truth, integrity, care and concern for coexistence, that could leads to a successful sojourn on earth.
