The meaning of
apetebi – This is Yoruba version for the prefix ‘Mrs. But being a wife in this
faith, women are known as Apetebi.
I have being an
integral part of this faith from my childhood. In fact, I was born into it. I
worship at the Somolu branch.
I am also the head of
the choir here. To join the choir and become a chorister is not an easy task.
There is a special attention to detail. From the hymns, antiphons, chorus and
refrain, everything is scored.
Women play important
role in this church. Firstly, they make the world go round. They are our
mothers. They guide us through the right path. They play major roles in winning
converts for Orunmila. Their missionary work is highly commendable.
I am a missionary. I
broadcast on radio in the morning and night. I also go to various seminars on Ifa
adoration. I am a tailor by profession.

The benefits
I have received
bountiful graces from this faith. My life is a testimony. Ifa gives life. I
have been in this faith for a long time.
I met my husband in
this faith when I was very young as a faithful of Orunmila worship.
I met my husband one
certain day when he was being installed as ‘Ashipa’. I was marveled to see a
young man of his age becoming a title holder in the church. He was the youngest
ordained that day.
We got married and
had children. In fact, the naming ceremonies were performed by the church.
These sacramental are
part of our worship. The church of Orunmila spiritual head high priest Fagbemi
Fajobi enjoined the faithful to always have them on.
More so, the church
is to be painted in two colours wherever it is being situated. Other religion
and faith have their colours. In Orunmila worship, we have yellow and lemon green.
In God we are all
one…
My advice to people
is Orunmila worship is our spiritual appreciation. He abide with us
