Profound Similarity between the Yoruba 🇳🇬🇧🇯🇹🇬 divination system IFA and the Ewe 🇬🇭🇹🇬 divination system EFA. The Ewe and Fon people of Togo, Ghana and Benin acknowledge the Yoruba holy city of ILE IFE as the home and origin of ifa.

Wooow, they are pronouncing the Odus with an Ewe accent, but it is still all the same!

We are literally cousins and belong to the same community of practice. Even many of the traditional deities are the same in the expanse of land between the Niger and Volta rivers.

Damn! This is crazy! Thank God for this internet age

It’s not similar but the same, just little difference in pronunciation Ifa pronounced as Efa, meji pronounced as Medji. But it’s all the same Art and Spirituality with the same meaning, spirit, power and origin.

The fon and ewe are a distinct group. They belong to the gbe language group. They are the originators of vodoo. What they have, do and practice is different from the ifa. There may be similarities,yes, but it's definitely not the same thing.

I will explain to you why the scripts are different, the scripts are different because the GBE do not have certain letters in their alphabet like R and others, so it replaces the R with L etc…

The script is the same. The Orthography (spelling system) is what is different. For example, the Ewes spell [J] as [DZ]. Aje (sorcery) would be Adze in Ewe. As to the R-L issue in the Gbe languages, they actually have both the [R] and the [L] sounds, but they often mix them up indiscriminately when speaking. It is a common phenomenon of many languages called Lambdacism.

No. The fon and ewe people are not the same as the yorubas. These are two different groups. The fon and ewe are related. But the yorubas are a completely different group. The fon and ewe are native to Ghana, Togo and Benin. They are a distinct group.

We haven't said they are the same as the Yorubas.
