Joey Akan sits down with Ifá and Èṣù priestess Oreoluwa in one of the most spiritually charged and historically rich conversations of the season.

From Bible competitions and prayer warrior to becoming one of Nigeria’s most unapologetic voices in Yoruba traditional religion, Oreoluwa takes us on her powerful journey of spiritual awakening. She opens up about growing up deeply Christian in a traditional Yoruba family, the church experiences that shattered her faith, and how a Facebook group during the 2020 lockdown led her into a life-changing rabbit hole.

Oreoluwa breaks down the deliberate mistranslation of Èṣù as Satan, the role of Christian missionaries in the transatlantic slave trade, the erased legacy of the Yoruba slave who invented the smallpox vaccine, and why White people are now flying to Nigeria to learn the very spiritual system Nigerians were taught to fear and abandon.

This is a bold conversation on African identity, ancestral power, decolonizing spirituality, and why Africa must return to Ifá worship to reclaim its medicine, power, and future.
