Origin Of Food According To Ifá.
Description
In ancient days, the humans on earth never had food or even have an idea of what food is. They were living without food and even water. They do not have the concept of food and water. Although Trees, waters and all other natural bodies are on earth with them but they do not know what to do with them than the little things they are doing which is to take care of the Earth as joyful activities.
One-day, they come together and query themselves; We are tired of this life, are you not everyone? We need something that would let us not get tired of the earth, something to make our living on earth more enjoyable and worth living the more. They all agreed to go and talk to Olódùmare about their situation in one voice.
Olódùmarè, we need something that would not let us get tired of living on earth easily. We need something that would make this place suitable for us.
Olódùmarè sent Ogun, go and answer to this people, handle their enquires and sort it for them.
When Ogun arrived on earth, he summoned all of them and ask them, humans, what do you want? They answered, we want something that would make this planet earth more enjoyable.
Like i said, there were trees and vegetations on earth then, Ogun cut down trees for humans and introduce tree sticks to them in form of chewing sticks, told them to be eating tree. Humans started eating trees for a long time and at a point they got tired of it again, it never quench their hunger and satisfaction.
They all went back to Olódùmare in one voice, Olódùmarè we are not satisfied, the tree provided by Ogun did not satisfy us.
Olódùmarè again sent Ọbàtálá Oseremagbo, go and respond to the humans on Earth.
When Ọbàtálá arrived, they were happy, greeted him and he asked them, what do you want? They replied, we want something that will not let us get tired of this planet earth.
There was water on earth then but humans do not know it's usefulness, they never drink nor use it for anything. Ọbàtálá introduce water to them, look at this water, it is for drinking, washing of your bodies and many other things. Start making use of it. That was when human started drinking water, they drank water for decades upon decades and get tired of it. Are we going to be drinking water alone?
They went to talk to Olódùmare again, Please we are still not satisfied, the water Obatalá gave us is tiring. It never satisfied us. We need something else.
