Oyinbo lectures on Yoruba gods

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that an old video shared on Instagram showed the moment a white man who practices Ifa as a religion spoke to many Yorubas during an event.

In the clip, the man surprisingly spoke fluent Yoruba language as he told people about his experiences in Nigeria as an Ifa priest.

When a person asked him how long it takes to become a priest, the white man revealed that the period is relative to different individuals.
