A Message Concerning the Cowards Ifa Yemi Opatola and Ademide Adinasse
From His Royal Majesty Dahosu Agbovi I- December 2011
There is the male (far from a man) coward here on facebook who goes by the name of Chief Ifa Yemi Opatola who has decided to unwisely attack my character based on misfortunes I had from the past (being imprisoned for a crime I did not do). The thing is that he seems to want to try to get famous from attacking established priests like myself and other people. He makes these attacks AFTER the people he attacks reject him in some form or fashion; even a white “priest” (david Wilson or so called Falokun Fatunmbi) rejected this unknown guy. And that’s it, nobody knows WHO this guy is or WHERE he comes from though he states he stays in Pennsylvania. For those that may be confused and have seen his attacks I would like to clarify some things. This man, after trying to PRESS a meeting with me when I was in Philadelphia in October and I told him I was NOT meeting with him, began to attack me the NEXT day after getting off the phone with me giving me BIG UPS the night before. Lol! It should be noted that though he was supposedly appointed the FOREIGN MINISTER for Oyotunji Afrikan Village, other Oyotunji chiefs that I know do not like this guy and they feel he is a loose cannon that does not represent their interests and direction. We wonder what changed in the mind of Opatola in just one day about my character. The answer may lie in the fact that we have been recently told that he indeed has ori problems and in fact may have some mental issues. However, that does not avert the fact that this man, a REAL nobody, has attacked a real leader in our community. So below let us have a little comparison and contrast and you all tell ME who is credible and who is not.
Me, HRM Agbovi I also and formerly known as Baba Awotunde Dosunmu Ifaseeyin - father, author speaker, workshop presenter, family man, priest, king, nationalist, website owner and administrator, independent Afrkan (Black) business owner, NEW AFRIKAN MAROON”.
“Chief” Ifa Yemi Optola – supposedly initiated to Ifa but nobody knows who initiated him, made a foreign minister (in place of the great Chief Ajamu) of Oyotunji a few months ago but nobody knows WHY because nobody that grew up in Oyotunji knows who this guy is til this day.
HRM - Author of SEVEN books, six of which are for available purchase. They are:
Iwakiri: the Quest for Afrikan Spirituality
Ijo Inu: the Inner Journey Beyond the Quest
New Afrikan Vodun Vodume I: Rites of Spiritual Nationalism
New Afrikan Vodun Volume II: from Kintu to Muntu
New Afrikan Vodun Volume III: A social Discourse Towards Spiritual and Cultural Restoration
All of the above can be purchased at Kilombo Restoration Healing
.
And the latest and first of its kind “Iwe fun Odu Ifa” which is a collection of verses for all 256 Odu Ifa. This is the first time that a New Afrikan (Afrikan descended of enslaved Afrikans born outside of Afrika) has published a collected volume of verses of Odu Ifa for availability to the New Afrikan public.
The seventh is an untitled book on the dynamics of Ancestral worship and how we repair our New Afrikan familial lines through the cosmology of the Ancestors. Its focus is on the PROPER way to worship our ancestors and healing through its ase.
I have presented countless workshops and lectures around the nation on Ifa and ancestral worship; the latest workshop was an Ifa workshop presented at Egbe Ijoba, a Maroon Egbe, in Philadelphia, Pa.
I have done countless ROOTS READINGS (and other types of readings) for many New Afrikans helping them to identify and rectify familial and lineage problems, facilitate healing, remove curses, kwk.
I am the owner of Kilombo Restoration and Healing (www.restorationhealing.com) which is an online healing source and store for Afrikan people who need not only healing. We also provide many items such as shea butter, red palm oil (hard to get in certain locals), kola nuts (profusely used in our Afrikan traditions and for a food item), spiritual soaps and baths, sacred herbs for the Orisa and Vodu from OUR local environment, kwk.
I am the founder and owner of our official website, New Afrikan Vodun, which has brought much knowledge and overstanding to our people for THIRTEEN years (Ironically many of those same people who have joined the attack have either been helped by me personally or by the website).
I am a fluent Yoruba and Ki Bantu (“Swahili”) speaker, conversational on Fongbe (Fon language of Benin), and proficient Ifa CHANTER. In fact, I am proficient in chanting iyere Ifa which is strictly chanted by learned Babalawos.
I am the author of countless articles on Ifa, Orisa, and Vodun worship which have brought much clarity to the delight of my New Afrikan family.
And last year I was coronated as the first Dahosu (king) in the Vodun tradition outside of Benin Republic. Of course, the naysayers couldn’t take it anymore and wish to invalidate this with no proof. Lol! The thing is that my coronation was not for people like that. This crown belongs to the PEOPLE – YOU; not people like them. So it does not matter what THEY say. Agreed?
In comparison, Ifa Yemi Opatola has NO achievements or reputation in this culture outside of starting unnecessary trouble with people who have not done not ONE thing to him and were not thinking about him because we did not and DO NOT know him. I did not know him at all before a couple of months ago when he came on MY PAGE and asked to come meet me to acknowledge the crown I received last year. Is this a sign of schizophrenia or something? Trying to big up you out of the blue one day and then within a week, unprovoked, attacking that same person. Opatola does not even speak Yoruba, but wants to be known as this high chief. LOL! SMH

To Chief Ifa Yemi Opatola, a coward who likes to hang up in people’s faces (hung up on me and one of his co chiefs in two different instances): You may be mentally ill but you are still accountable for your actions. You have disrespected the New Afrikan Nation by disrespecting my person for no reason whatsoever. You are less than a man and no real AWO or CHIEF acts in the manner you are doing. How can you be a FOREIGN MINISTER (LOL) when your first acts in that capacity are to start trouble with people who were not thinking about you. Are you a plant for the government or some continental Afrikan who wants to discredit the work and powerful ase of New Afrikans? Your efforts are only going to come back at you DOUBLED. The ones who you have worked with on this defamation campaign will receive that doubling. This doubling comes from the Orisa, Vodu, Abosom, Mkisi, Alusi, Trowe, and ancestors. You do not realize you are making a bad situation worse for some people (not me). You have no body of work in this tradition. You have no confirmed accounts of having healed people of lupus, breast cancer, and the like. We at Egbe Kilombo Vodun Isese do have that account. This is not to brag but it is only to show the clean glass of water against your filth. Your time is up. And as Fred Sanford said on the episode where Lamont became Afrikan-centered….ODABO JACK.
As for the one calling herself "Princess" Adinasse and says she lives in Benin. She may be mentally ill and had a bad upbringing BUt she has crossed the line in trying to defame someone (myself) whom she one tried to befriend. Her friendship was rejected due to her erratic behavior. Afterwards, I was told by several elder women that in fact she was not in Afrika (this was about 2004), and that she was typing and blogging from right here in amerikkka. I would think that somebody who was battling cancer and being of elder AGE (age does not automatically confer eldership) would focus more on her healing. Just because you are taking many medications for various diagnosed mental illnesses does not mean you can do what you want. Also it does not give excuse to make up such things as you are a descendant of Sango, the fourth king of Oyo and now a divinity. It does not mean that you make up things like you are a BENIN princess when in fact you say you are in the court of a YORUBA king. Sango was half Nupe and half Yoruba. So how are you a Benin princess? Also you cannot be a BENIN princess and claim you are descended from a YORUBA deity! Come on my people. Don't let them keep playing these games with you. Adinasse says she is the DAUGHTER of the OBA of KETU. How is she a Benin princess when Ketu is a YORUBA town in Benin? Benin implies Vodun. The kings of the Benin Republic who are Fon descendants are called Ahosu or Daho or Dahosu. Sango was half Yoruba and half Nupe. Wouldn't she be a Yoruba princess instead? A prince or princess from Yorubaland who lives in amerikkka, would not call themselves an amerikkkan prince or princess. Though they may live here they are still going to tell you that they are a YORUBA prince or princess. So just because she is IN Benin that does not mean she is a Benin princess. At best she would be a YORUBA princess IN Benin. The fact is the latter is even questionable due to her mental state.
In conclusion, none of the above was meant to brag on my achievements. It has everything to do with defending myself from unjust attacks from negroes parading as Afrikans. Everyone knows of my battle with the legal system which continues til this day. If you go to the link on THIS site WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM you will see an article that goes all the way back to 2006 speaking on this. However, they are trying to use this as if it is new even though Adinasse knew about it the whole time. Either way we are here to HEAL our people and not be miserable like these people who have put NO REAL WORK IN IN THIS TRADITION. We know this was long and thanks for reading. O digba
